Erm... That's the original model for Cochrane's Phoenix. It's what they based the design in FC off of. This new probe is obviously based off the FC Phoenix. Therefore, yes, there would be a correlation...

Of course they are similar. However, the point is this appears to be more similar. Given the fact that the TPTB like to reuse old ideas (re: Nova class, peregrine class rehashes, karemman rehashes, and the ubiquitous antares), it's possible that they had this ship in mind.

I dunno... To me, it looks more like a cross between the FC Phoenix and the Valiant. I don't see any resemblance to the Chronology Phoenix that would be separate from the FC one.

A Theroy: After Phoenix, an unmanned deep space probe was sent out at low-warp to explore the unknown. Somehow - centuries later - it got all the way to the delta quadrent, and a planet intercepted it and used what was left of its nuclear technology to develop nukes.

I think that's pretty much the plot, right there

So, of Earth's early space travel greats, Voyager has now encountered two. Amazing how these things end up on a direct path between Earth and Ocampa...
I wonder if they'll run into Buck Rogers' shuttle for the finale.
I'm done with the sarcasm now, by the way.
