[QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Abaddon: Hmmm....while I love "Perigrine" to describe the fed fighter, your idea could work.[/QUOTE]Yeah, but I hate myself for it. I was all set on the whole Peregrine=FedFighter thing. If it weren't for the direct statement that Peregrine=courier-of-something, I'd never have bought such a notion. [QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: particle accelerators (that's a weapon?) [/QUOTE]Depends on the particles being accelerated. Those of your opponent's head, for instance. ;) The mounting issue is odd, given that the Maquis Tac-Fighters did not apparently carry the weapons. Then again . . . a-ha!!! . . . we only see Cal Hudson's ship fire. The other vessel had its propulsion systems knocked out before it apparently had a chance to contribute. Since we did not see that ship fire, we could assume that it received some of the purchased armaments. Cal's fighter might've been the relatively-normal-loadout torpedo-boat to the other ship's beam weapon bonanza. I agree, though, that it's possible we've never seen a Peregrine at all. Or, if there were other small ship types from "Strike", then it could've been one of those. However, given the preponderance of Maquis usage, I would lean toward the same sort of vessels being common both on screen and in dialogue. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: About section 6, the Counter-indications: from what you say, it seems that the fighters you do actually see are of the SF Tac-Fighter type, correct? And they don't seem to have many of the heavy weapons purchased by Sakonna (I checked the spelling), just standard phasers and torps. Isn't that then proof that the other fighter, as mentioned in section 5 and unknown to Sisko, is of the mini-Maquis type?[/QUOTE]It could be construed as such, yes. As I indicate, I don't really agree with the counterargument I present in that section, and that could be an additional reason. As for the mini-Maquis (believed to be the Peregrine in the first post), I'm pretty sure we only ever saw them in "Preemptive Strike"[TNG7]. However, we saw a bunch of them. [/QB][/QUOTE]
