[QUOTE]Originally posted by Peregrinus: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [qb]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.[/qb][/QUOTE]I mentioned the memo to show that while the 1764 isn't canon, neither did Bjo pull it out of the aether. Remember that at the time the Concordance saw print, D.C. Fontana was very active in fandom, too. I would be not remotely surprised to learn she was the source of the [i]Defiant[/i]'s registry. As for Jeffries' registry system, yes I know it isn't the system they're going by now, but it is the system [i][b]he[/b][/i] was going by during TOS and is the system he used to make the biggest single piece of TOS canon starship listing data (the aforementioned wall chart). Rather than be an apologist for Okuda's lack of research, I'd rather say Starfleet switched at some point in the mid-2280s from Jeffries' system to Okuda's system. It is the approach that demands the least illogical revisionism. Additional: I forgot to comment on it earlier, but given the ships shown at >100% on the wall chart, I find it more likely to show the mission status of the Starships under SB11's jurisdiction than a repair schedule. As for the [i]Merrimack[/i], given the data points in favour, it is far easier to make the step to say it is [i]Constitution[/i]-class than the leap for the [i]Republic[/i]... --Jonah [/QB][/QUOTE]
