[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ryan McReynolds: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Masao: [qb]I know about Axanar (maybe) and Donatu V,[/qb] [/QUOTE] Just be sure that you get the date for Donatu V right, if you use it. The battle was twenty-three years before "The Trouble With Tribbles" (TOS), set in 2267. That puts the battle in 2244, not 2242 as Okuda erroneously places it in his [i]Chronology[/i]... despite mentioning the twenty-three year gap in the notes! [QUOTE]Originally posted by Masao: [qb]1. According to Trimble's Concordance, in TAS "More Tribbles, More Trouble" Koloth's ship "Devisor" paralyzes Enterprise with some sort of disruption field, which this site (http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Stargate/3751/KlingonShip.html) describes as a poorly functioning projected stasis field with enormous power requirements. The Klingons are also said to have a new weapon, the photon torpedo. Can anyone confirm this or tell me more about how this device worked? Did the Klingons have photon torps in TOS?[/qb] [/QUOTE] Photon torpedoes were never seen in use by Klingons during the original series, but the Klingons do have them in 2151 (and an upcoming episode of [i]Enterprise[/i] will discuss that fact in more detail), so it's just coincidence that they never used them on screen. The only weaponry I remember seeing a D-7 fire are green bolts that emerged from the front of the nacelles. (If, of course, this is in the [i]Starfleet Museum[/i] universe, the Klingons may or may not have photon torpedoes at that time <img src="smile.gif" border="0" alt="" /> ). As to the stasis field, your information is accurate. I'm not sure if it was called a "stasis field" in the episode, but I think it really just worked like the Breen energy disruptor. The [i]Enterprise[/i] was frozen mechanically, but it wasn't true time-stopping stasis because the crew was unchanged. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Masao: [qb]2. In another thread Phelps mentioned an attack on Federation outpost on Caleb IV by Kor and Kang in the old, cloak-capable D-5 cruisers. Any guesses when this actually happened? Does the presence of cloaks suggest it happened after TOS?[/qb] [/QUOTE] Any guess as to the time would be purely a guess... but I would certainly put it after the Romulan alliance due to the cloak. On the other hand, Kor was going senile at the time. For all we know, the ship wasn't a D-5 and didn't have a cloak after all. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Masao: [qb]3. According to Trimble, the D7 has a crew of 440, per Day of the Dove. Any other refernences to crew size?[/qb] [/QUOTE] Not that I know of, but the "Day of the Dove" reference [i]is[/i] accurate, despite the above complaints. I can't really help you with the other questions, sorry. [/QB][/QUOTE]
