[QUOTE]Originally posted by Peregrinus: [QB] Well, we do know, if we expand our 'raw material' to include fandom sources. Just be prepared to play fast and loose, as no one from Franz Joseph on knew what Matt Jeffries had in mind for Starfleet and all of the systems conflict at some point or another. Further, the 'NCC' prefix was for the cruisers. Other types of ships would have had other prefices. I stretch fandom and official sources to fit the extrapolated Jeffries scheme, making the 1000 block the [i]Horizon[/i] class, the 1600 block the [i]Baton Rouge[/i] class, and the 1800 block the [i]Miranda[/i] class, with the latter incorporating the [i]Soyuz[/i] subclass at 1840 and the [i]Avenger[/i] subclass at 1860. The best fit I've been able to make from available sources led me to fix NCC-2500 as the changeover point. From there on, registry numbers are no longer assigned in blocks, and 'NCC' becomes a blanket prefix for all of Starfleet. This presents a problem with the [i]Belknap[/i] class, one of my favorite fandom designs, so rather than discard it entirely, I bumped it down to NCC-2200, simply knocking off 300 from all the registries. The 2300 block is the [i]Enterprise[/i] class newbuilds, starting at NCC-2301, as there was no 'NX-2300' prototype vessel ( ;) ). And to round things off, I included the short-lived [i]Menagha[/i] class and its variants (sans [i]S'Harien[/i] -- that's another story) under the 2400 block. Oh, and just in case you couldn't guess, 1900 is the [i]Constellation[/i] class, 2000 is the [i]Excelsior[/i] obviously, and 2100 is the [i]Federation[/i] class. I've been working on this for a while. Just ask Topher. :D --Jonah [/QB][/QUOTE]
