[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by SoundEffect: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [qb]I stand by my assertion that NAR is simply a registry code for civilian ships from earth or just the Sol System in general. It's the only consistent explanation. [/qb][/QUOTE]...except that the USS Vico was seen with both an NAR registry AND Starfleet emblems... [/qb][/QUOTE]I don't see that as a problem. I freely accept that the Vico could well have been a former Starfleet vessel, but this fact would have little if any bearing on it's registry. It was simply recommissioned as a civilian science vessel and registered to an agency on Earth, which seams reasonable since earth seams to be the home to just about every Federation institution that we know of. The theory that NAR is exclusive to former SF ships based on the presence of a Starfleet pennant on the Vico falls to pieces when you consider that the Raven did not have Starfleet markings and that it did appear to have what could well have been civilian markings. This is also the case with the "Executive Shuttle", clear Federation markings but nothing associated Starfleet. And then there's the Mariposa reg which is clearly described "NAR" as a UN registry. It's no huge leap of logic to assume that the old UN registry code would later become the new United Earth code. Using the Vico as evidence is using the exception to prove a rule that otherwise makes little sense. [/QB][/QUOTE]
