Nope, the pre-publicity material said that Voyager was the second out of an initial batch of four.
(The comics later said that 3 and 4 were the USS Stargazer and the USS Pathfinder. But that's by the by.)

Where did the names of Fiscus and James T. Kirk come from in for #3 and #4. I read them somewhere but cannot remember where.

Yeah well. I always like those two names for the Intrepid Class. Bellerophon has stuck on me pretty well.

The comics showed that the Pathfinder was destroyed just before the outbreak of the Dominion War in the Gamma Quadrant, and that the Stargazer's reg was NCC-2893-A (why do they keep doing that!?).. I used to command the Stargazer-A in a sim group and stargazer2893a was my first email address
I dislike 'full name' starships, so I'm not sure U.S.S. James T. Kirk is to my liking.. and whats a 'Fiscus' (oh, google will help)...
Besides, everyone knows Kirk is still alive...

the USS Kirk does not cut it for me. the USS James T. Kirk does especially for a ship designed as Sternbach puts it "Troubleshooter" or Troublemaker on how you see Kirk and Voyager.

Nevermind that last post about troubleshooter, I read that quote wrong. Also, I did a Google search on Fiscus. The name mostly deals with various identities in the Belgian government.

Maybe Hauck was the NCC-71325. (That was the registry of the shuttle in Caretaker). They could have transferred some shuttles to Voyager to complete it's stock; since the Wing wasn't ready at that time, too, they could have pressed the ship into service whithout completely finishing it to find the Maquis ship, maybe with a possible return to UP in their minds after the job was done to finish the work.
[Edit]: I mentioned the shuttle at the TrekBBS, maybe Rick remembers it and can tell us where the shuttle with that registry comes from. Or someone else.
