[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Peregrinus: The [i]Defiant[/i]'s 1764 registry is based on internal memos. In my not-remotely-humble opinion, the notion of any of the 16xx and the lone 18xx registry on the "Court Martial" chart are [i]Constitution[/i]-class ships is utter nonsense. The chart was created by Matt Jeffries using his personal roughed-out system of how registries are assigned. They are all Heavy Cruisers -- which is what "Starship" means in that context -- but only the 17xx registries are [i]Constitution[/i]s, for reasons laid out in pieces in several interviews with Jeffries.[/QUOTE]Well... granted TOS has less "official" documentation, at least in the vein that TNG and beyond did... but I don't think that some internal memo could count as canon at all... or even "provisional canon." And depending on your perspective, you could say that Jeffries' system for registries has been thrown out the window with the "modern" Trek pseudo-system. [QUOTE]The [i]Merrimack[/i] is referenced at NCC-1715 in TMP, so that's canon.[/QUOTE]True, but the class of that ship is not known at all... for all we know it could be an early Miranda or something we've never even seen before. Just because the name and number match references in the book, doesn't mean that the book's complete entry is automatically correct... [/QB][/QUOTE]
