Spoilers The Starfleet Museum

The Making of Star Trek book lists 14:

Enterprise, Exeter, Excalibur, Lexington, Yorktown, Potemkin, Republic, Hood, Constitution, Kongo, Constellation, Farragut, Valiant, and Intrepid

 

Thank you.

 

Well we know one of those definitely isn't a Constitution.

 

What do you think was their motivation?

 

Relics and Picard's wistful remarks of seeing a Constitution class at the Fleet museum.

 

Between this list and that paragraph from The Making of Star Trek about 1701's starship class entering service over a decade before 1701 herself...I am convinced that we are looking at multiple production blocks sent into service over decades.

 

With appropriate musical accompaniment for each ship.

 

It. Never. Stopped. Being. Canon.

 

The TOS look still happens. It's just not happening right now on SNW.

 

I think with all the talk of a Star Trek:Legacy series, a new Prime universe movie and a Starfleet museum P+ show, I think I will do a “Nicholas Meyer” rewrite to pick out the best feature of each idea and come up with:


“A Night at the Starfleet Museum” a Star Trek movie - Starring Jeri Ryan as Captain Seven!

 

hmmm…list is missing the Defiant.

the TOS look is never gonna happen on SNW. The show even changed up the Monster Maroons.

 

The maroon was explicitly from another timeline.

 

An early clue that it was a horrifically wrong future.

 

One that had to be eliminated at all cost!
Fire on the Rommies, destroy that ship, risk all-out war, but make that maroon disappear!

 

The book was written between season 2 and 3, the Defiant hadn’t been made up yet. Don’t ask me why they didn’t use a name from the list, since that’s what they wrote it for.

 

Bummer. I was hoping my New Jersey Class story would take root.

 

interesting. I didn’t know that’s when the book was published.
