[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] [QUOTE]. Anyways, my Starfleet Museum article (which is now a boring 10,000 words long) is going to describe classes D2 through D7, and only the last one looks like a K'tinga.[/QUOTE] Drool... <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0" alt="" /> As for the Kor/D-5/cloaking device debacle... I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that Kor was telling a tall tale there. Maybe the tactics that Kor used at Caleb IV were similar, but didn't use a cloaking device. I'm going to quote a Museum article to support my point: "...the Federation historian must naturally approach the Klingon records with a healthy dose of skepticism, since combat reports are often intended to glorify a ship's commander rather than to give an accurate account of a specific event." ([url= http://www.starfleet-museum.org/postwar-romulans.htm]Source[/url]) I think the same is true for old geezers telling war stories. Probably Kor did indeed exhaustively study the cloaking device during one campaign, but it probably wasn't during the Caleb IV campaign. In fact, I'd bet that Federation-Klingon hostile activities were almost totally curtailed at any point after the Organian Peace Treaty. There might have been a few skirmishes, but no major actions at all after 2267. Regarding the crew size of the D-7, remember that a Klingon's idea of a good bunk is a simple hard shelf. So they probably bunk together in a rather small space. Plus, there's no need for extensive science or medical facilities, and so that accounts for the much smaller volume of the Klingon ship compared to the Constitution-class. About the Klothos and it being a D-5 cruiser... well, if the Federation can re-use ship names, so can the Klingons. The Klothos seen in TAS was simply a different ship. <img src="wink.gif" border="0" alt="" /> [QUOTE]"Enterprise" ain't canon. The Ghost of Roddenberry told me so.[/QUOTE] Amen to that. I prefer to believe that the entire series is taking place in an alternate timeline, given how Braga is f*cking with temporal mechanics... [/QB][/QUOTE]
