[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] From the looks of her, she's either unarmed, or then contemporary to the similarly smooth NCC-1701, or both. If we take NCC-1000 to be significantly older than NCC-1701, the picture would have to represent some sort of a refit status, and all bets as to the original design intent and mission would be off. If the two are contemporaries, their equipment standards don't visibly differ, so their missions could be identical as well. What is the name of the ship? The last letters apparently are inverted C and inverted N. :) With a bit of squinting, one could pretend they are O and N, which would be very, very convenient indeed... :p My pet interpretation is that this is indeed a late 22nd century [i]USS Horizon[/i] of [i]Horizon[/i] class, majorly refitted to serve as a testbed for the upcoming [i]Constitution[/i] class as postulated in various fan works. Hey, she's a far closer [i]Constitution[/i] match than the butt-ugly sphere-and-can configuration sometimes proposed... The [i]Constellation[/i] (NCC-1017) would originally have been a classmate, but would have undergone a more extreme reworking to trailblaze the NCC-1700; the saucer is already basically there, and one would only need to build a new midsection for the secondary hull and weld the bow and stern to that, then add the connecting neck and new pylons. Less work than turning NCC-1701 into NCC-1701-refit, certainly! Not the ideal solution to the [i]Constellation[/i] history problem by any means, but still lot better than the sphere-and-can one - and still deriving from "semi-canon" material, sort of.
