Sorry if this is a silly question but what does USS and NCC mean?

[knightgrace]

United Space Ship. It was used in TOS,

You completely missed the point. I am very aware of what it was used for in TOS.

Furthermore you missed the emoticon, a little lower down.

Meaning that while being accurate, I was also being tongue-in-cheek.

I understood what you posted, I put correct information out there because correct information is important.

For my 26th Century Head Canon, (I know it's not official Canon), I have a different set of initialisms.

U.S.S. =
UFP (United Federation of Planets)
StarFleet
StarShip

---

N.C.C. = Has 3 seperate meanings depending on what Stage a StarShip is in

Stage 1 = Paper Work & Construction Agreement
NCC = Naval Construction Contract

Stage 2 = Physical Hull Markings
NCC = Naval Construction Code

Stage 3 = Digital IFF codes
NCC = Navigational Contact Code

After all, wasn't someone recently complaining about the lack of education in today's world? Posting correct information helps to educate others.

You’re overthinking it.

You’re overthinking it.

It's my "26th Century Head Canon", so I will over think EVERYTHING.

I literally have a 785+ Page Word Document on what happens in my Universe in terms of Tech / Recent History progression / Organizational changes / etc.

Every detail of the world of Trek that has progressed to the 26th century is accounted for.

That's not counting additional documents & images I have that covers nearly every subject.

Spoiler: ST DISCOVERY S5 Ending Spoilers

I even factor in DISCO along with the Spore Drive and manage to incorporate it back into the 26th century despite the shenanigans that happened in that series and how the USS Discovery ended up stranded in Nebula Storm

Plus, of course, any large canon contains multiple contradictions, like James R. Kirk/James T. Kirk, or "The Alternative Factor" saying a matter-antimatter reaction would destroy the whole universe when everything else in Trek says M/AM is the power source for warp engines. So just because something appears on a screen once doesn't mean it's gospel. Especially if it's a minor background detail.

Yep. Canon and continuity are two different things.
