[QUOTE]Originally posted by targetemployee: [QB] Monkey, I am staking a position on the Antares from "Charlie X". I am concurring with the StarTrek.Com site. In the episode synposis for that episode, the Antares is identified as "S.S. Antares". My reasons: 1.) The Antares is never identified as a starship by the Enterprise crew. 2.) The Antares crew are not wearing standard Starfleet uniforms. They are wearing civilian uniforms. Rf. Captain Merrick of the S.S. Beagle ("Bread and Circuses"). He is wearing the beige top and black pants of his service. Captain Merrick is not Starfleet; he washed out of Starfleet and joined the civilian service. 3.) The Antares is the class ship of the Antares Class. Rf. dedication plate of the S.S. Xhosa. Mr. Okuda has stated openly in the encyclopedia that he doesn't know the meaning of "Starship Class" on the Enterprise's dedication plate. He understands his system-a class is named after the first ship in that class-not the older system proposed by the first Star Trek producers. I will not go into details on the older system for it is poorly explained and has been de-canonized out of Star Trek. This is the best evidence for the Antares Class ships in Federation service. Continuing with point three... The starships of Captain Kirk's time had a certain configuration ("The Doomsday Machine"). The Antares Class ships don't fit this model. These three points for me make the Antares Class ships, and the S.S. Antares herself, a Federation civilian design. Canonically, what is seen on screen or heard on screen, we don't know the class of the U.S.S. Hermes. She could be a member of a known or unknown class. [/QB][/QUOTE]
