[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Umm. I'm somewhat disappointed that the math *I* did (the challenging 10% times 270 years kind) didn't get fully implemented in the Star Charts. Sure, Gamma 400 and SB12 are placed at the distance I intended, and in the direction of Pollux as "Who Mourns" requires, AND the direction of Cetus on the assumption that Kirk didn't go very far off course when he marooned Khan at Ceti Alpha. I also intended to put the Mutara nebula and the Regula system in the immediate vicinity, even though the bit about "Space Seed" taking place in the Mutara sector isn't canon and even if such a sector might encompass a number of other locations as well. But Mandel still put the Mutara Nebula near the real Alpha Ceti, instead of using a fictional "Mu Ceti A" or somesuch next to SB12. An unfortunate communications failure, and a good lesson on the need for beta-checks... The Charybdis' original mission didn't seem all that ambitious - a few hundred AUs out, hang around, test some life support stuff and Air Force secret weapons, get back. 12 times solar escape velocity seems a bit excessive for an intended performance. I'd say the engine was redlining badly, and would just have destroyed the vessel before actual interstellar ranges could have been achieved. The aliens would probably have interfered as a life-saving measure. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
