Awesome work, Reverend. What are your next plans? I really like your 29th century logo on the lower left of the page. Nice touch.

Maybe the DY is an 'Eastern' production - i.e. the Supermen and orbital vessels like the Birdseye were what the West were doing with the cryogenic tech. Maybe Kahn and co. used the Birdseye-cryogenic idea and adapted it to a ship?
The freezers onboard the Birdseye were cryonic, not cryogenic. Those people were already corpses and were just being preserved until the technology exited that could heal their illnesses and revive them, to say nothing for repairing the cellular damage that would result from being frozen in the first place.
I think the only connection between the Botany Bay and the Birdseye is precisely how they got so far into deep space without warp drive. My own theory is that the sol system is home to one end of an unstable wormhole, which might also explain the voyages of the Charybdis, Nomad, Pioneer 11 (or was it 10?) and Voyager VI. Infact that might be the very wormhole that appeared in TMP, or was that one actually created by a warp in balance? Perhaps the warp imbalance simply attracted the worm hole since we already know from "Insurrection" that warp cores can act like magnets to subspace phenomena. Think it's worth discussing in starships & tech?

Well, yes. But it was a wonky subspace anomaly, and probably had all sorts of secondary effects, like whisking old space probes into Klingon space, maybe.
Or, I guess, I'm saying that there seem to be all sorts of such phenomena going on in our solar system, and they all seem loosely related.

But if the 'Atlantis' project IS under the sea, we wouldn't see it from orbit. Was the intention to manufacture an island, or an undersea colony?
I new continent I believe. Why I don't know!

2047, of course.
Nice touch on the crew type. "Eugeno Sapians," indeed. Although, that should be "sapiens." Perhaps the usage of the old "Homo superior," "H. sapiens superior," or "H. sapiens eugenensis" as an alternative.

Eugenic == having to do with Eugene?!?!?!
The Eugenics wars WERE fought in 1992!!! over Gene's creations after his death in 1991!! OMG...

It wouldn't be my first typo on this thing, besides I'm a bad speller and PSP doesn't have a spell checker. I never liked the term "Homo superior", since it doesn't sound at all scientific because it dosen't really allow for the possibility of an even more advanced form. "Homo Even-more-superior"? "Homo superior's superior"? "Homo superior deluxe"?
Your suggested alternatives are good possibilities but I doubt they'd fit in that little box.

Perhaps there's a funky subspace dual carriageway going through our system that attracts all these wayward anomalies?
I still think having one axis of an unstable wormhole is the best way to commit ornithological genocide with an individual stone.

Of course, the wormhole could have been created backward in time (for a good explanation, go ignore TNG "All Good Things..."), thereby leading to the incredible journey of Voyager VI, and thus to the V'Ger intrusion, which in turn triggers the Enterprise's interception mission, which creates the wormhole.

Huh! Timo, I posted a similar idea to another thread on this topic... Except the wormhole was a by-product of Janeway's wreckless manipulation with the timeline and space-expansive technology.
