Yeah, if you look at the screenshot, you can tell there was SOMETHING that was torn off, whether it was a ring or an engine pylon for some kind of rocket booster, we'll probably never know, but its not been determined yet. It was before the supposed XCV-330 Enterprise, and we don't even know whether or not other forms of FTL were experimented on at the time or not. So who knows? Not like that everyone had every record post WW3 about all those experiments. And if Cochrane was doing it, so were others, but the question remains is WHO was able to fund a ship of that size but crew it with so few? My theory is Mr. Flint from TOS. If you ever read the novel "Star Trek Federation" he was already friends with Cochrane and others, so maybe it was him that had a hand in helping as well with this ship? And his name in the novel was Micah Brack. So IDK...just theorizing here as I seriously am now obsessing the back story of that mysterious XCV 100 ship.

- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
We know the Bay was a sublight ship. Do we know it was launched vertically?
And even more advanced because it was launched decades later. After 2018 Earth space agencies had access to crude sublight propulsion technology that rendered sleeper ships largely pointless for interplanetary journeys.
I initially thought that this line from Space Seed should be shifted forward 40 years like the equivalent Eugenics Wars dialogue per Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, but then remembered that Picard seemingly corroborated Trek having humans flying to Jupiter easily in 2024, something we can't even do in the real world in the present 2025
Yeah, the Europa mission in 2024 got to Jupiter in a matter of months so the 2018 sublight engine date still holds and works. Otherwise Renee Picard and Shaun Geoffrey Christopher suddenly find their respective missions fairly impractical with simple rocket thrust and inertia tech as we've known it since the dawn of the Space Age.

There a model of a DY-100 with booster rockets in Voyager
Not-canon but the Star Trek chronology book also has a painting of it taking off that way
so does the second Eugenics Wars Novel cover.
Same art IIRC
A wire-to-wire 10 for me, with a + to top off the reveal. I was thinking doomsday machine and then a Borg offshoot, just waiting to see what this new big bad feared even by the Gorn could be--and voila, we have seen the enemy, and he is us! Sure, there's a lot to back fill there, but it was a delicious and unexpected surprise. I enjoyed the way Kirk started out so nonchalantly egotistical, until the stakes and circumstances humbled him, giving him his first taste of the sometimes tragic repercussions of command. You could just see the seeds of the Kirk-Spock relationship being down, too. The dynamic between Scotty and Kirk also foreshadowed what was to come at a later point. Very well done. I even didn't mind the contribution by Pelia with the hard-wiring solution, since it was mercifully brief. The solutions to the twin dilemmas might have been a bit paint by the numbers, but well executed, and since it culminated in that reveal, excusable...

There's an image of Starbase 1 (without its seed pods) in the ready room aboard the USS Farragut in #StarTrekSNW's "The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail"⬆️ . It says the station was recommissioned in 2259. This was after the Klingons defaced it in the Klingon war ("The War Without, the War Within"⬇️).

Sounds like it was built by augments. And why would we think there’s only one? And no one on a planet somewhere?
No it doesn't.
Kinky. I can't wait to find out!
It is the same fanon who like to believe Spock is the only Vulcan - Human person in the TOS UFP universe, because Sarek was the first and only Vulcan to get it on with a a Human...
Makes sense right?
That is highly unlikely, by the time Sarek & Amanda gives Birth to Spock, Humanity & Vulcans have known each other for over a century easily.
There has to have been many "Human × Vulcan" couples who give birth to Hybrid Children by this point in time in-universe.
They may not be that statistically significant compared to the number of "Same Species" couples, which probably dominate the stats.
But they do exist, just like IRL.
Spock just happens to be one of the most famous ones in-universe given his numerous accomplishments.
Others, if seen as outcasts, probably gravitate to communities on either world or new planets where they hope to escape scorn, scrutiny, prejudice etc.
In addition to the models of the DY100 with rockets, I think you can see a picture of one in the background of the Voyager episode with Sara Silverman.
Forget the name now
