I received an e-mail from Bernd today. He states that the class eight shuttlecraft seen in the shuttle chart in the encyclopedia is given the name of Tereshkova by the fact files. I read the name of the shuttlecraft as Terrenova. (This needs to be read with the use of a magnifier.) Is this the same shuttlecraft or a different shuttlecraft? Thanks to Bernd for the e-mail.

Besides, shuttles are named after scientists, explores, and the like. Seeing as Valentina Tereshkova was the first woman in space, and Terranova is just Latin for "new-land", I'd say Tereshkova was more likely all along... :-)

I will scan the Fact Files shuttle diagram and post it along with some more alien ships. I have to wait for the next two FF issues first. If they have interesting stuff, a new page will be up soon.

Worse still, terrenova is a bogus word made up from French and Latin parts frankensteined together so I doubt they'd stick it on a ship.

...unless the same guy is responsible who labeled the Briattain, Jenoliean and Bellereophon.

Hmm. Maybe it's named after a famous post-20th century Italian called Terranova. Maybe they think the character in the mob show Wiseguy was a real person. *looks at pic* Damn, it does say Tereshkova. *notices everyone looking at him* What? They van name a ship after Akira but not after Vinnie Terranova?

I have compiled a small list of USS Voyager shuttles-
Delta Flyer (does this bird have a registry?) Tereshkova (NCC-74656/01) Cochrane (NCC-74656/04) Sacjawea (NCC-74656/05)

I believe the argument goes that, because the Delta Flyer could not be commissioned by Starfleet, it therefore has no official Starfleet registry.

Maybe they misspelled Bellerophon only in the Encyclopedias, not on the model (if it was accordingly labeled at all).
