The USS Nova and her sister ships I believe were commissioned after 2367. Wheter the ship is a carbon copy of the Defiant Class pathfinder or not, I believe is not important. I am happy to see a new ship. As for the registry, I believe the registry will fall somewhere between 71000 and 73000.

SPOILERS... | | | | | | V | | | | | | | V | | | | | V By breaking the Prime Directive and all those other pesky rules that the Voyager crew haven't broken. That's kind of the whole point of the episode's plot.

I love this ship! It would be interesting to see what kind of advancements her counterparts in the AQ have had done to them. As for how they got so far, I have no clue. We know they were brought in by the Cartaker (or do we?..), but maybe they came across a few wormholes, or maybe the Cartaker gave them another push. However, I do not believe the Equinox was brought in by the Caretaker. Think about it: Equinox is a Starfleet ship manned by humans. If the Caretaker brought them in, why would he bring Voyager in too? The whole reason for bringing Votyager to the DQ was to see if they could replace the Caretaker. Obviously he had advanced technology that allowed him to scan the galaxy for lifeforms. If he had already studied the crew of the Equiniox, he would have already known that humans couldn't replace him. So if he already knew that, why bring anothe human ship in? It doesn't make sense to me.

ID: We knew that. . . the point is, what have they done in particular to do so? And how come suc methods weren't available to Voyager, who had instead to rely on crewmembers achieving apotheosis, pinching technology from the Borg and others. . .
And more to the point, HOW COME at no point in their travels through the DQ have the crew heard about the other Federation starship that's ahead of them in space and are acting like complete bastards? Surely someone they encountered who'd knwn about it wqould have said something?

Well why do you think so many races were instantly hostile towards Voyager? ;-)
Actually, the idea that the Caretaker gave them a push soem of the way home would explain a lot, but this being Voyager it's more likely that we won't get an explanstion.

It's nice, and certainly good to see on TV, but it's... not what I was expecting. It is a science ship, isn't it?
Okay... Another point. I think it's stated in "Relativity" that The Doctor was unique aboard Voyager at the time of comissioning... Or was it just rare? Either way, isn't it plausihle that they arrived in the DQ at about the same time as Voyager.

Also in the episode reletivatey, the ADmiral said that the Voyager was the most advanced ship in the fleet. This may mean that Voyager was new and that she was not old. The equinox left or was catapulted to the DQ in a small time frame prior to, Voyager's departure to right before the uniform change.
My other theory is that equinox was always behind Voyager. The equinox was sent to find VOyager and some how got propelled into the DQ. They may have had similair routes but could have been seperated by thousands of light years, even if their paths were parellel. Upon discovering some alien tech, the Equinox pblasts ahead of Voyager as she explores every single thing they come across that is intresting.

Well, I didn't read most of this (didn't want to get to spoiled), but I really like this ship. Looks alot like the Pathfinder to me, in fact, they are quite close to identical. Remember, the Pathfinder drawing was probably whipped out in 30 minutes for the book, so it's not surprising that the final ship is a bit different. Anyway, the design is clearly at least inspired by the Pathfinder.

And what's this about unoriginal? Star Trek has always carried over major design elements from ship to ship, and in this case they've simply built a model of a ship already published in a book. What's the problem?

Well, I don't know what the Defiant Pathfinder, is either. I heard of it before, but it was a fanfic rendering that I saw, so I didn't think it was a real ship. I guess it's a Tech Manual ship, from what these guys have been saying. So, could you guys please elaborate? Is there a side view? How big is it? What kind of weaponry dies it have?

There's not much to it. The Pathfinder is a ship from the DS9 tech manual (they just show the top view). It was apparently a prototype for the Defiant class (designed for the book). I think there's a bit of info about the tech stuff, but I didn't pay much attention, I just like the pictures.
