Umm. . . what? Are you expecting a big fight over this, or is it a reference to the recent Voyager episode "The Big Fight" or whatever it was called. . ?

Whatever. Anyway, the answer is we don;t know, having never seen a Peregrine for sure. But if you mean how many variants have we seen of ships of that type, then the answer is 4:

- Academy Trainer
- Type C, Large version (Chakotay's Maquis raider)
- Type C, small version (two seater, as seen in "Preemptive Strike")
- Type D, Federation fighter as seen in "SofA"

I suppose you could include the Bajoran fighters in there too...

Er... No you can't. Those are Bajoran ships, which we know are not Federation. Any/all of the others are/could be.

And I don't think the Academy trainer craft should be included, either. The only realtion they have to the others is that someone screwed up and used a picture of the supposed Peregrine to represent the trainer in the encyclopedia. But, then, they also used the Defiant's shuttle pod...

The Acadamey flight trainer i.e. from the diamond slot formation - I don't reckon is Peregrin

I reckon the small peregrine - i.e. the two seater and then the large variation Chakotay's ship,

I think maybe the similar fighters seen in SoA are the smaller of the two - so just two versions - I reckon THEN cause there was only one Maquis/Founder in that Peregrine ship that it was the two seater reffered to in Heart of Stone - and that Chuckles ship is called something else

I merely mentioned the Trainer for completeness' sake, and ignored the Bajoran fighter (and the sub-impulse raider) for the same reasons as others have put above.

At the local hobby store, there's a small model kit put out by some company I've never heard before. The name of the model is "Federation Trainer." There's no reference to Star Trek on the box, making me believe this is an unlicensed product, but it's most assuredly meant to be from the show. I've been thinking about getting the model so I could take some pictures. What do you think? And by you I mean everyone else who isn't me.

Thanks, IDC. You should post this URL to every thread where "Peregrine" or "Federation fighter" or "Maquis raider" is mentioned. I don't understand there is still so much confusion about it, except for the Peregrine name

I think the only reason Sternbach said that the SoA fighters were Peregrines was because that was what everyone seemed to want him to say. I believe that, if any of these ships is the Peregrine, it's that one, but I prefer to believe that we haven't even seen a Peregrine, at least until there is an onscreen reference to a particular ship as one.
