Has anyone actually heard this one being mentioned or are we still taking this from the official website.

Vanguard: I guess there isn't a whole lot we know about this ship...could you write up the text, then, using what little info we have?

For Shadow
USS Trial:
We know very little about this ship, no known registry or class exists. It is not mentioned in either encyclopedias. The only case where the Trial is documented is on the official website. According to the website, the Trial appeared in "Way of the Warrior" on DS9. The episode however does not show any USS Trial, at least prominently. If the Trial is shown it is one of the six ships sent to DS9, as one is the Galaxy class Venture, it can be narrowed down to five. These five includes at least two Excelsiors and one Miranda.

If its one of the six ships sent in "The Way of the Warrior" then it is one of five since we know the Galaxy class ship sent is The Venture.

There are also at least two Excelsior class ships seen, as well as at least one Nebula class ship seen.

AndrewR, I've added what you said. If someone could get an accurate count of what ships were seen at the end of WotW, please tell me. Also wasn't there a Miranda?

I've checked Star Trek: Expanded and the only ships mentioned in Way of the Warrior that was part of the end fleet was the Venture, two excelsiors and one miranda. No Nebula was mentioned.

I have reservations about this ship. When I was browsing through the web several months ago, I came upon a web site done by a fan. This web site was an exact duplicate of what is found in the Star Trek web site. I am unable to find that web site now.

There was no Nebula in WotW. All I can remember are the Galaxy and one or two Excelsiors and Mirandas. It seems unlikely that one of these less prominent ships was labeled "Trial" for the episode, yet, there must be a reason that this ship is listed at startrek.com. Maybe the ship appeared in an early version of the script, something like "Our reinforcements have arrived, including the Venture and the Trial".

BTW: Who would name a ship "Trial"? Does not sound encouraging at all.

Maybe someone wanted to call it USS Judge, Jury, and Executioner, but SF Command told them they couldn't, so they picked something close to it... :-)
