First of all, yes, Siegfried is back after spending about five days in final examination hell. One exam left and then I'm free for a month.

Anyway, here's a link to a recent story at TrekWeb: click here.

It's the summary of a scene from the episode "Sleeping Dogs," which is supposed to be either the second or third of the new-run episodes of 2002. A couple things about the spoiler information in the article...

First, the script is saying the crew encounters a Klingon Raptor. A we going to see a new Klingon ship? I certainly hope so, but there's no other information available about it. Reed mentions that this particular vessel is of strategic military importance. I can't wait to see more information about this come out as the episode premiere date approaches.

Second, we're going to hear about the Orions. Whatever disease is being spread about the Klingon Raptor, the Klingon Captain (via his log entries) suspects that the Orions infected them with it. It would seem that Earth also isn't yet familiar with the Orions since Reed and Tucker don't seem to be familiar with the species.

Yes, here's the first picture of the new ship:

Actually, shrink it down by quite a bit, remove all the surface details, and you have a kind of nice upswung scoutish looking thing.

Great, now the Klingons have warbirds, battlecruisers, raptors *and* birds of prey!

"Bu'kaH: We raided an Orion outpost. We took slave girls for the men... and some whiskey."

Slave girls!

As that would involve designing a new ship that looked like the old, no.

I think that was the point Spike was making with his pic.

"A film made in 2008 isn't going to look like a TV series from 1966 if it wants to make any money. As long as the characters act the same way, and the spirit of the story remains the same then it's "real" Star Trek. Everything else is window dressing." -StCoop

I think Simon was implying that the "Akiraprise treatment" involves creating a ship from scratch, but making it look like another ship.

What he was suggesting about the Vor'cha was taking the same ship and just removing the details. More of a "reverse-K't'inga treatment".

It's sounds like we're internal decorators...

"Yes...I think I'd like the two story effect...and give the walls a nice Akira treatment, hmm?"

actually, that ship looks alot like a vor'cha class BOP, like the ones seen in "End Game".

Fry- How will we get out of this?
George Takei's head- Maybe we can use some kind of auto-destruct code like one-A, two-B, three-C...

There's something else to speculate on in that spoiler snippet, too. The Klingons here respond to an uprising - is this "Xarantine" a Klingon conquest, perhaps, so that Klingons would be concerned about an uprising there? And what does it spell when the Klingons are defeated there by a superior enemy? They come in a starship to quell a riot on an already conquered planet, and have to retreat? Perhaps the ENT-era Klingons aren't that superior after all...
