Spoilers SFA Ships & Tech

[Kamen Rider Blade]

I didn't remember this when I wrote the other reply, but I was recently looking at my FASA Trek library and I like their explanation for the DY-100 model being reused in "The Ultimate Computer." It's a more modern, automated variant named the Zeus that was designed by a fan of historical ships. The first edition of Trader Captains and Merchant Princes has a detailed stat block and cutaway but no class description, which was added in the second edition of TC.

I swear if you blacked out the details and only looked at the silhouette, the vessel looks like a fish of some sort.

That being said, however, I do think there's a logical upper limit and 900 years would be quite the stretch.

Out there theory but by the 2550s the Klingons were members of the Federation, this could be following a complete collapse of the Klingon Empire so following their secession after the Burn they might have just not had any ships of their own apart from relics from the point of the Empire's collapse and maybe lacked resources to make anything up to date.

Maybe Klingon space was in Emerald Chain territory so the just have pirates and raiders flying around in their fossils.

Options:

1. It’s a flashback scene from the 24th/25th century.

2. They’re 900 year old ships that are somehow still being used in the 32nd century.

3. They are 32nd century ships and we’re not supposed to question what they look like.

If its not a flashback, then its likely another goof like the anachronistic DSC ships being shown prominently in the early episodes of PIC. Although showing 100 year old ships is a more forgiving slip than 900 year old ships.

One might ask why shi.ps of the 32d century resemble prior SF ships at all.

A goof they'd have to put a lot of work into because none of these ships have shown up in previous P+ shows, so the assets would not have existed in their library, except maybe the Freighter.

People like retro.

Yep. They specifically chose those ships for a reason. We just don’t know what that reason is yet. It could be as simple as someone saying ‘hey, we need a Klingon battle cruiser, a Klingon Bird of Prey, and a Klingon freighter for this scene’ without actually bothering to find out what time period those ships belonged to per STO. Of course, they don’t have to follow STO lore and they could just say those were 32nd century Klingon ships, but that clearly doesn’t work for the freighter.
