[QUOTE]Originally posted by The_Tom: [QB] Why would it ever be a canon book in the first place? (a) Canon is onscreen only. (b) The generally-accepted definition of semi-canon (the Encylopedia, Chronolgy, two Sternbachian Tech Manuals and possibly even <u>Pathways</u>, <u>Mosaic</u> and <u>Legends of the Ferengi</u>) tends to be based on the idea that within a reasonable doubt we can assume that were something to come up onscreen about topic X the writers would take their cues from either one of the books in question of from the authors of the books. We can pretty safely assume that Cardassian lifeboats are made of what DS9TM says they're made of because (as Ira Stephen Behr writes in his introduction) if a situation had come up where their composition was to be noted onscreen he would have bugged Sternbach. Marauder Mo action figures and Slug-o-Cola are examples of stuff from RHW and ISB's imaginations that eventually did get canonized onscreen. Starship Spotter doesn't strike me as a book that would meet either of those requirements. [/QB][/QUOTE]
