[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] Ooh, I like this a lot! Here's my take on this: There was a lot of technological advancement that continued after the end of the Romulan War, but almost all of Starfleet's emphasis was on the small cruisers like Daedalus and Comet. Starfleet kept a handful of the old heavy UESN warships (Conquerors and Yorktowns) in active reserve in case of renewed hostilities with the Romulans. However, by 2170 these ships would be relatively behind the times technologically. Certain aggressively-minded admirals in Starfleet, who had risen to their ranks in the war, feared that the Federation was becoming complacent. And so the study for a modern Starfleet battlecruiser was developed. This ship should incorporate certain elements from Vulcan and Andorian designs. On paper, it would make perfect sense to design a new heavy warship using Starfleet's latest technology. Of course, the end result was a ship that was out of its time, extremely expensive for its purpose, and completely unnecessary. The Romulans were in complete isolation with not a single contact made; and the Klingons hadn't been encountered yet. I could see one or two ships being built, but the entire program would've been quashed by the Federation Council after that. (I'd refer to the Paris article, like how Starfleet had problems getting approval for their "little stick" light cruisers.) And any ships that [i]were[/i] built certainly never saw any action. [QUOTE]so forget, if you can, that Series V (ie, Enterprise) exists. [/QUOTE]Man, I've been trying to do that for the last seven years. ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
