Depends who you ask.Except one is like twice the size of the other.
"I only need one nacelle." --Captain Robau
It's just for looks. Kelvin ran on Robau's residual willpower.
Even after he died.(not that he did)
I'm fairly sure one of the mods deleted it, although I don't understand why. There are many threads which lasted longer than it did (and continue to do so).
Well, Robau day is almost upon us. Perhaps we shall resurrect it, yes?
Oh dear, the Brophy hasn't spoken to me. Does that make me Kai Winn? Am I destined to become a tool for the Shat-Wraiths in the war against modern Trekdom?
I really don't want that. I'm an ally I tell you!
No, because the Kelvin pre-dates Nero travelling back in time.
Technically, the Prime-Kelvin could be in the Museum. Any literature out there to suggest this?
Yeah I know, but then how can it be explained that the Kelvin had over 800 people on board, yet the Enterprise in TOS had only 300 despite being a newer and more modern ship?
At this point, I know it's unpopular, but I'm in favor of just keeping the facts of the Kelvin, IE name, George Kirk being on board, Captain Robau, etc ..and just kind of...forgetting the rest.
Unless its established in prime-line that she did anything of import, I don't see why.
Different type of ship, I guess.
Also, the Saladin has no secondary hull.
Robau was captain. How could it not be important?
Half or more the ships we see in the museum have no actual histories
I wish. There's very little about the Kelvin out there, especially the Prime version where it wasn't destroyed (then?). A big factor is that the Trek novels weren't licensed to use anything at all from the new movies until right around the time Picard started. The existence of three live action shows to promote and a much smaller publishing schedule for Trek has meant there just hasn't been an opportunity for anything to be written compared to the days when the novels could just fuck around as much as they liked so long as sales stayed high, since they were promoting the idea of Star Trek conceptually, instead of trying to encourage people to watch and engage with specific shows being made right now.
I'm sure that, if the legalities had been different, we would've gotten at least one U.S.S. Kelvin novel starring (badass) Robau and the Kirks as an experiment between 2009 and 2020, but the opportunity seems to have passed us by for the foreseeable future.
I'm still salty that his personality engrams weren't listed as part of the amalgam android even though he could take control of it simply through sheer force of will. He just doesn't do that because it would be unfair to Lore.
I only remember one fact from that thread and it's all I need to know:
"The Enterprise is being built on the ground because Captain Robau plans to lift it into orbit."
