Two things:
1) Why is it USS Relativity and UTS Aeon? One could assume they're from the same time period. Does this mean the Aeon could have been some sort of civilian ship? Or was it just a shuttle (maybe the Relativity's shuttle?)
2) The registry. All sources list the registry as NCV-474439-G. I heard somwhere that Sternbach or anyone else said the actual model was labeled 'NCG-474439-6' or something. I'm sure that person confirmed a different version of the NCC-prefix and a number instead of the -G or something similar and he said they decided to do a different one because that one sounded stupid, simply not right. I think the NCV-xxx-G is from the dedication plaque (unfortunately, the picture's I've seen are too dark to read anything on it) and the hull bore the other one. (unfortunately again, the pictures I've seen are to small to read it). Can anyone confirm this?

Okuda emailed me the info off the dedication plaque seen in 'Relativity'. And since his art department made it, I tend to believe it's correct. Also why I believe the NX-74913 registry for the Prometheus' plaque and MSD, since he knows more about the registry scheme then those CGI artist and their awful NX-59650 one.
But to get back on topic, here's the plaque info...

Hmm beating that dead horse pretty hard.
Me: Not a huge Voyager fan. See an episode. Big ship flies by. I read NX-59650 right off the hull. Great. Someone says it said NX-74something in a piece of background art. Oh big deal, bacause I could hardly read it. It was in the background.
Way to derail someone elses thread, though.

Chill, Mikey. As far as I know, the Relativity has only ever had one registry. The main controversy about its dedication plaque is that if it's the 7th ship to bear the name, then it should have an -F suffix, not -G.

Wasn't there some sort of "incident" in the late 28th century where the Relativity-E sort of became the Relativity-F?

By Jove, I think he's got it. If ever a time-travel story has an inaccuracy, the best way to explain it is on a time anomaly.
Probably the Relativity-D encountered a splinter group of Krenim-Vorgon hybrids from the 27th century mirror universe outside of the timestream, experimenting with anachroniton particles. A brief battle ensued, in which an errant length charge sets off the Antiregenesis Device aboard the stolen timefrigate Rolex. The first officer of the Relativity-D, Spock-5, bravely sacrificed himself in their Omega-13 containment field in order to allow the ship to open a transtemporal slipstream warp in which to shield itself, but the unpredictable effects of protoanachroniton radiation caused the ship to be retroactively fused with an alternate timeline's mirror universe version of itself, killing several of both crews. When the timeline was corrected, the ship had been transformed into the alternate vessel, but was still the same ship and thus was reregistered but the same vessel.
And then they go back in time to save Spock-5 right before he dies.

Wow. I think that's the first time I've ever seen someone make a reference to something that I wrote when the reference didn't even come to mind for me...
