Does anyone have "Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise"? Can you scan the dedication plaque from that book for me? IIRC, it was a bit different from the one shown in the Encyclopedia.
Thanks, -MMoM

The dedication plaque shown in the Ent-A section of Mr. Scott's guide actually looks more like the original Enterprise plaque from TOS. It is in the same format and reads:
----------------------------------------- USS Enterprise
Starship Class San Francisco, Calif. United Federation of Planets
"...to boldly go where no man has gone before." -from the Starfleet charter -------------------------------------------
Odd that it's different from the actual plaque considering the fact that Shane Johnson had much of Paramount's folks to help him out. He says he visited the ST IV soundstages, so the Ent-A bridge in ST IV could have had the plaque shown in his book. Later, for V or VI, when the bridge was revamped, the plaque could have been replaced with the one seen in the Encyclopedia. Anyone know the details?

Yes that's correct. Okuda notes it in the first edition of the Encyclopedia, but the note seems to have been left out of the later editions. The plaque from the Guide is the one that was on the bridge in STIV, and it was replaced with the one from the Encyclopedia in STV.
No scan??

Are you sure you really want a scan? It really isn't that special, and I've formatted the text to the exact number of words per line as the plaque...just seems like a lot of pointless work to scan in an illegitimate plaque anyway.

Very interesting. I thought it was a fake. I'll scann it when I get my book back.

The "starship class" line strikes me as strange. By this point, I thought they'd dropped that silly nonsense and settled pretty much firmly on "Constitution class" (or, at a push, "Enterprise class")?

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Well, there's a little something the French call an homage...
