I guess, as long as we're on the subject of errors calling the authenticity into question, there's also the "7.44 x 10E3". You can say "7.44 x 103" or "7.44E3", but combining the two gives you "7.44 x 10103".

Yeah, I saw that, too. But, it isn't in meters per second, instead having "NVP" after it, so perhaps it isn't suggesting gawd-awful acceleration. Maybe it's supposed to make sense. :-)

I tell you, it�s a scan from a magazine. Wasn�t there an older magaziine, Starlog or something, that published this kind of thing? I think I�ve seen similar 'grams on Spike�s site.

see, the thing is, the ones printed in the mags were in black and white (or blue on white actually) as they were negatives. This one is colored how it would have appeared on screen, but the coloring job looks like it was done after a scan with a hue/saturation filter (see the grains on the blue parts that doesnt exist on the yellow parts?). I'd prefer to see originals, rather than ones that were doctored.. if this was in a mag im sure the image processing would be better.... (unless it was ST: The Mag.. lol)
Plus the index number at the top doesnt fit with the number Okuda usually put up there.

What you see before you is an enhanced image. I did my best to make it clearer, but for the unbelievers among you here is the original.
I can't release too much information at this point, or my anonymous source. The best I can do is to assure you that all will be revealed at a later date.

Concerning that 'NVP' thing... However it doesn't say so, I think it does denote meters per second. The first Okudagram mentioned the Charybdis to have attained a speed of 12 times the solar escape velocity, which turns out to be 7.44x103 ms-1.

IIRC this Okudagram is very similar to the one for the Mariposa.

If the NAR 52 is owned by Nasa, this prefix predates even the NX. Do you think it has something to do with later NAR-xxx ships (the Ficus-chart for example) or even the 23rd/24th century civilian NAR-registry ships? Or is it used in a similar way as the NX? A class or type? On the other hand this would mean there were 51 ships before Charybdis was started. Maybe they started assigning NARs to every ship launched by NASA.
And what could NAR mean?
