Freighter Xhoza

Sonic74205 · **Thu Aug 05, 2004 4:20 pm Freighter Xhoza**

I used to thing that the Zoza was the Frieghter seen in the opening theme. but sadly it's not and i think it looks quite ugly.

I think you are referring to Kassidy Yates' freighter, the Xhosa?

Founder · **Thu Aug 05, 2004 5:43 pm**

Can anyone provide a picture of it?

Sonic74205 · **Thu Aug 05, 2004 5:54 pm**

Yep Kasidy Yates ship

Founder · **Thu Aug 05, 2004 5:59 pm**

Nice pics C1988. I think its a pretty cool looking frieghter. I remember it getting attacked by the Klingons.

Sonic74205 · **Thu Aug 05, 2004 6:06 pm**

Yeah and smullgling food & medical supply to the Marquis in the badlands.

This is what you see in the begining theme:

Class History A general purpose transport and carrier used widely throughout the Federation for more than a century, and has had several design variations. Most that have been constructed during this period were unregistered, and are generally open for usage by any aligned, or sometimes affiliated race. Vessels in this class can have significant variations in performance and design -speed and defensive capability would reflect the era in which it was built (the registry number gives a clue).

Does this help?

Thanks

Don't you think that Sisko would have ordered O'Brien to improve the Xhosa's defensive capabilities seeing as his girlfriend was the captain and she had to take her ship un enscorted close to dominion space.

And i think the ship can olny go about warp 8.7 max. Cuz that was the defiants maximum warp until they managed to bring it upto warp 9 in a season 6 episode. (im pretty sure it was 8.7)

Its just some crappy freighter.

Sonic74205 · **Thu Aug 05, 2004 6:42 pm**

With the Emissarys Whife onboard

She was making a cargo run close to dominion space in season 6 i think and he pulled few strings to keep her salfy on the station and she got mad at him

Andi was thinking well it he would just upgrade the ships shields and phasers then he wouldn't have to worry so much.

That woulds be Kool If a freighter would have type X phasers...it would make someone think twice about tryin to raid the ship

He He He

Founder · **Thu Aug 05, 2004 7:34 pm**

You know if it was possible, he'd probably send the Defiant with her all the time. Who am I kidding, if it was up to Sisko he'd send the whole station to defend her.

gul Lemek III. · **Fri Aug 06, 2004 2:08 am**

Lol, imagine a station slowly crawling behind a crater and hiding behind an asteroid or a planet every time the freighter turns around

gul Lemek III. · **Fri Aug 06, 2004 2:11 am**

Se surely wouldn't be

Sonic74205 · **Fri Aug 06, 2004 5:32 am**

I love it in "for the cause" when cassidy was smuggling those supplys to the marquis in the badlands, then the second time when the defiant followed them the marquis didn't show up. Then the defiant decloaked and it went to Kasidy on the Xhosa, and she saw the defiant de cloak and she just went
"Oh My GOD!"

It was like "BUSTED!"

Defiant · **Fri Aug 06, 2004 5:37 am**

LOL, truly awesome, yes. Kassidy got owned bad for that one.

The_Sisko · **Mon Aug 09, 2004 4:16 pm**

Yeah i thought that episode was good.

In the first episode Kasidy was in, have you seen her hair!!!
It was hideouse!

The_Sisko · **Mon Aug 09, 2004 5:52 pm**

Has this freighter actually ever been in a startrek episode?

Sonic74205 · **Mon Aug 09, 2004 5:56 pm**

I have no idea...but i don't think ive seen it in an episode.

Kuro-chan · **Mon Aug 09, 2004 7:32 pm**

No, but I have seen it in Starfleet Command 3.

The_Sisko · **Tue Aug 10, 2004 6:21 am**

Thats where the pictures from.

Founder · **Tue Aug 10, 2004 7:12 pm**

I remember that shuttle from the game. It was the only one the Federation seemed to have.

I don't think it was ever on the show.
