That's probably an excerpt from a Starfleet study on a strange ancient cult on planet Fanboy XXVII

That is an Orion Wanderer from FASA.

However, as far as we know, Okuda just stole the design out of one of FASA'a manuals, and the fine print actually reads that the ship is the Hokule'a class U.S.S. Tripoli.

Looks like we're having a canon design for the Hokule'a!

Uh, no. I didn't say that.

just noticed that the side view is flipped. Or FASA's topview was turned into a bottomview by Okuda.

I think Dukat meant that it's possible Okuda labeled it as something other than an Orion Wanderer in the fine print. There's not really any way to read it though.

My guess is he picked the Tripoli for his hypothesis because Data served aboard the Tripoli (or was that the ship that found him?) and it would make sense that that info would come up in the data search.

Tripoli found him. He served on Trieste. Knew how slow that ship was.

FYI: http://home.arcor.de/spike730/misc/displays/datalore_002.jpg These aliens are supposedly traders encountered by an early Earth Ship on the Rigel Trading Planet. They're by Sternbach and come from the Spaceflight Chronology.

Nope, no species names associated with the little aliens. The spiny-looking one is just described by a wide-eyed Earth officer as looking like a cross between a porcupine and an amoeba as it attempts to sell a diamond as large as a fist.

You should all go out and get yourselves copies of this great book. All noncanon and runover by subsequent canon, but it makes good reading. It also contains countless side-view schematics of ships not depicted in the full-color paintings posted at various websites. It's the most imaginative Trek ship book I know.
www.bookfinder.com lists dozens of copies at all prices. I bought one for a friend recently for only $10.

Edit: Ok, not exactly dozens, but around 10. I had a hell of a time trying to find this book about 10 years ago. I Didn't manage to get one until I searched was on the web.
