Could anyone tell me which set was adapted for the Relativity's Bridge in "Relativity" And which Consoles were adapted. It is unlike Paramount to create new props/sets and then dispose of them (witness the infamous "pool table". We may be seeing these in the new series...

How about the Prometheus' bridge. It did have a resemblence to it. The wide open area, the lone center captain's chair. A two? person helm console. The colours were darker but it look basically the same.

Nyaha! A bridge question!
Anyway, surprisingly most of the Relativity bridge set *is* new, at least in arangement. most of the components are rearranged bits and pieces from other sets. The seats, for example, were originally seen on the ST5 movie bridge - 600 years ago, relatively speaking (mind you, they've also been seen on *every* starship since 1989, including the Enterprise D and E, Defiant, and Voyager). The Transporter pad was partially recycled from the Defiant's (I'm fairly sure), although the walls behind the pad are newish). The aft consoles have been seen on several sets, alien and otherwise (they were in the Equinox sickbay, for example). The Captain's and forward consoles were new, I think, but it may just be the LCARS stuff throwing us off.

I thought the Prometeus bridge set was the same as the Excelsior in 'Flashback'.

So the topic of this one about the new bridge is Series 5 right? What's wrong with using Voyager's bridge?

Because they like to build new sets for new series.

BTW... The Equinox Bridge is a redress of the USS Prometheus bridge. I think the Sickbay from the Prometheus was redressed as a room for the Krenim Timeship in "Year of Hell". And they reused some of Prometheus Parts (mostly the consoles) for the Dauntles.
The Museum Room in "Living Witness" was reused as S'ona Medical Room in "Insurrection". I think the Control Room in "Dragons Teeth" was reused as the Starfleet Midas Command Center from "The Pathfinder Project".

No, it was the Prometheus. The Defiant set had nothing to do with the Equinox. Just look at the side stations and try to match them up with the Defiant bridge, for starters. The back is all different as well. So is the front. And the middle, for that matter. All different.

Yeah, the only time i can remember when we saw a redress of the Defiant Bridge was in Voyager Episode "Live fast and Prosper".

Ferengi Marauder? On VOY?
And what would this be -- the first time we've seen a Marauder since TNG's 2nd or third season?

7th, actually, with "Bloodlines" (where DaiMon Bok from "The Battle" comes back claiming to have Picard's son). They use that nifty subspace transporter to beam several light years to Bok's Marauder.
And then that technology is of course never seen or heard from again... And appraently ignored with the Dominion's edition of the same thing.

Well, I still say that we may very well see various items from "Relativity" in Series V, which would lean it towards the late 25th Century (I hope).
