That's cool. But what the heck is up with those registries it provides? NCX-165? Huh?

*imagining the reaction if the producers actually named one of the NX-class vessels Akira* wow that would be something...

I'm thinking the "C" and the "1" are typos. At least the "C". It'd just be NX-65, though one wonders why they would go up that high...

Minor $poiler$ present, you have been forwarned

Large assumption on their part if they think the Shenandoah from a recent episode is an NX class...unless that's what TPTB also think.

Federation Models, Wes. There's 2 sizes outthere, the 1/1400 by Starcrafts which is fucking spectacular & the 1/2500 by Spaceboy. I think FM only carries the Starcrafts one, though. You can check Starship Modeler for the other.

Mayweather said that "three more NX-class ships are on the drawing boards". I wouldn't expect any of them to get a captain so early.

Yah...I didn't think the Shenandoah was an NX... I assumed it was an older class of ship. Man, some of those models by Warp Models are killer!!

Warp kits suck ass. Shitty brittle resin that shatters if you blink at it wrong.

Anybody know where "Aniara" comes from? I know it's a sci-fi poem by Harry Martinson, but did he have a source for the name? Old Greek plays, or something?

Agreed that whatever the Shenandoah is, it's NOT a NX-class starship.

Based on on-line research,

1953 Poetry by the sci-fi writer Harry Martinson.

1958 A opera of that name, based on the previously mentioned play, is conducted in England.

1978 A ship of that name, the M/S Aniara , is launched. She is a car carrier.

Sources:
The Poem

Too bad they aren't better quality.
