[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [qb] Two classic possibilities there... -Balok's vessel is extremely advanced and capable, a single-pilot Death Star or a manned Culture ship. -Balok's vessel is the last remnant of a crumbling empire, and most of the stuff that the thousands-strong crew would operate is no longer functioning. It still makes for an impressive yacht, and a good bluff. Timo Saloniemi [/qb][/QUOTE]Who says it only serves as a spaceship? It's large enough to be anything from a spaceborne nature preserve to a colony ship that served it's original purpose... It could even be many smaller ships combined for easy warp travel and dispersed to protect/attack an entire system. Another possibility is that it's a raw-materials miner, with the spheres serving a basic shape for processed elements to be broken down into whatever via replicator tech at a later date. Or a self-replicating ship design that would eventually make something like a Dyson Sphere. It would be keen if Balock had gathered up all the potentially destructive stuff his crumbling empire left lying around (so no one could destroy themselves with it) and made the giant ship from it all....it would even be cool to see someone take that notion on as a crusade- LOTS of tech left lying about in Trek- the Hussnok for example. ;) Whatever it's intended function, the power needed to move that bitch into warp would be serious- strange no one ever mentions the First Federation again- even in passing.
