Must have been done before, but I'll stick in a twist. You are NOT allowed to say any Enterprise, or Voyager. Personally, I liked the Excelsior-class of vessels, TimeShips, and the USS Al-Batani. What do you think?

The...class.... Uh... Prometheus? Or how about Soverign?

Voyager2004 · **Mon Jul 17, 2006 4:58 pm**

Haha...by saying the "Sovereign" he beat your rule of not saying "Enterprise." LOL...

What does the USS Al-Batani look like? I can't remember. I'm sure I've seen it before...but what does it look like?

I like the Prometheus as well...

There ya go, no picture, but the class is listed. Click on the link of the class, and you will see what it looks like.

Never been pictured- I've done some graphic design of it myself-

Lord Borg · **Tue Jul 18, 2006 2:27 pm**

It has been said the Al-Batani is an Excelsior class, which has been pictured

While word games are great fun, this was meant to find out some interesting little-known ships, not see who can say 'NCC-1701-D' or 'Kirk's ship' or whatever. Anyway, on startrek.com it says the Al-Batni is 'unspecified class'- check

The Information on Star trek.Com is poorly maintained sadly,

http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/USS_Al-Batani

There are episode titles qouted for scources on the page, It.s an Excelsior Class

Voyager2004 · **Wed Jul 19, 2006 8:09 pm**

That's why I didn't know it was an Excelsior class ship...because it's class has never been mentioned on Trek before...

Well, we can only assume...or guess...until Trek comes up with what class it was, we'll just have to stick with the source posted above...Yes, it's not canon, but it gives us something...

You said that I couldn't choose Voyager or the Enterprise, however, if you didn't say anything about the Defiant. That's my favorite class. However, if you want a class that wasn't featured in any of the shows, I'd say, Prometheus or Nova class. However, seeing as you said nothing about the Defiant-class, I'm gonna stick with that. Heh...

Pretty Sneaky La Forge, Sneakier then I, I said a Class, and not the famous Enterprise, Your saying the Class, and in a way, saying the name, but yet you can say the class and get away with it!

The Deifant Class DID make a differnce, their really easy to build now apparently, in the eps where it was introed it seemed to be the only one, by the time VOY ended we saw what? 20 of them?

USS Sovereign

Personally, I love the Constellation-class, I've been getting into those Stargazer novels lately

If I'm not allowed to pick any ship that has been featured as an Enterprise or The Voyager or The Defiant, then I'll pick the Romulan Warbird.
