Full Circle fleet and quantum slipstream drive

Mark's above post should be input into Memory Beta.

And now it has!

Added the registry and class information on the ship pages that didn't have it too.

Edit: Or not; apparently they can't include information unless it's been published somewhere, so it'll have to wait until the book is published. Hopefully they'll keep the correction on the non-Nebulas at least, though.

Edit x 2: Nnnnnope. Not sure why since assigning them those classes was supposition anyway, but eh, it'll be fixed enough once Ms. Beyer's book is out.

To those still following this thread, this is the Full Circle fleet...in addition to Voyager, there are USS Quirinal/NCC-82610 and USS Esquiline/NCC-82614 (both Vesta-class); USS Hawking/NCC-81897, USS Planck/NCC-81894 and USS Curie/NCC-81890 (all three Merian-class science vessels), USS Galen/NX-86350 (Galen-class experimental medical vessel), USS Achilles/NCC-77024 (Mulciber-class), and USS Demeter/NCC-79914 (Theophrastus-class).
 
One question about the Full Circle fleet; do they have a forward logistical node, or friendly world, to operate from?

Forgot about that one, thanks.


Something else I was wondering; has it been said how far into the DQ the fleet has gone so far, or how far this stage of their exploration will take? (For example, has there been any talk in the books about going as far as, say, the world of the 37s? I'd have thought that, if the logistical requirements allowed it, they would have been up for consideration, being a friendly human-populated society.)

Indeed, how is Starfleet planning on managing their missions into the DQ? Will this fleet go back to the UFP in a few years and have another task force rotate in? Will they start building a few more logistical nodes to support an ongoing presence there? Or is the Full Circle fleet merely testing the waters, to see whether or not some future long-term project could one day be viable?
 
^All of your questions brought another one to my mind. Did they say where they came into the DQ in relation to where Voyager traveled before? I've read Unworthy and Full Circle, but I can't remember if they said anywhere in the books.
 
^Well, yeah, they were in the same vicinity where they dropped Neelix off, at least for starters. But I gather that in Children of the Storm they travel to a very different part of the DQ, one they've never been to before.
 
Mark Reidmaker did an interesting design for the Merian class, making it a modernized Miranda. It also has the streamlining I would expect for a slipstrem vessel. I hope the 2012 SOTL calender is still going to have a refit Voyager in it.
 
"Planet 37" AKA "Earhart's World" and the world of the Borg Co-operative(assuming it's still inhabited post-Destiny) would be good targets for "How are they doing nowadays?" visits. I'm assuming as a reader that visits to those systems are already planned.

I think the bulk of COS takes place 20 light years from Neelix.
