[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Shik: [qb]We'd have another fun point since the [i]Ulysses[/i] is a [i]Nebula[/i] commanded by CPT Intebi.[/qb][/QUOTE]Well, this is it's predecessor. According to the game, it crashed in the 2350's. And, while I agree that "canonizing" games might be a bit extreme, the [i]Ulysses[/i] may be a special case. There are multiple circumstances surrounding it that make it very intetresting, which Captain Kyle does not make extremely clear. I will elaborate. -In "The Fallen" (DS9 game) we get the [i]Ulysses[/i] as a ship that was once Admiral Ross' command that crashed on planet SR 3 during the 50's, and sank in a sea. As Amasov said, this in itself makes no impact on canon at all. But it gets more interesting... -The art on the game's cover was done by Brandon MacDougall at Foundation Imaging, using the same CGI model used in the show. This makes it interesting because we (or at least some of us) like to believe in the existence of ships like the [i]Valkyrie[/i] and [i]Trinculo[/i] because they were official labelings of the official studio models, even though it seems unlikely that they were ever in the show. But wait, there's more... -In "Starship Creator," Okuda/Sternbach make a reference in Joe Carey's (of the [i]Voyager[/i]) biography to him having served aboard a [i]Ulysses[/i] that crashed on a waterworld. It would seem to be a tie-in to the ship from "The Fallen." So, while neither reference may be extremely significant in and of itself, when you put them all together it makes for a situation that kind of makes you think. Do these factors combined make it a special case? (i.e., labeling of official CGI model + reference by Okuda/Sternbach text = canon? Semi-canon?) It's a little bizzare, but I wouldn't just outright dismiss it... -[b]MMoM[/b] :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
