The Odyssey-class is my favorite ship not just in Star Trek Online, but in Star Trek in general. It has the large proportions of a Galaxy-class coupled with the sleekness of a Sovereign-class still very-much looking likes its own ship. I desperately want to see it introduced into the main canon of the show's some how.
Honestly it feels like if the Odyssey class is made alpha canon at all it would be rude *not* to have an Enterprise in its lineup. It's just such a stylish class.
TriAngulum Audio Studios came up with a plausible explanation for the Odyssey class commissioning discrepancy between the Picard comic and Star Trek Online. They suggested that the Odyssey class was originally commissioned in 2385, with two testbed vessels, the Odyssey and the Verity, testing two versions of a quantum slipstream drive. However, the future development of the class was put on hold after the synth attack on Mars that destroyed the Utopia Planetia Fleet Yards. After Starfleet finally recovered, the project was restarted in 2409. Or at least that's the gist of it.
In STO it was designed as a "Super-Dreadnought" to counter new Klingon Dreadnoughts in the early 2300's. It could be that Starfleet refitted the ship in-between 2380's and 2409 so much that a new subclass was created. That would allow both to be correct.
The STO designers absolutely knocked it out of the park with the Odyssey class. It’s majestic, it’s massive, it’s straight up beautiful. It represents a new golden age for the Federation.
T5 Oddy, the very first ship I bought in the game. Fell in love when i saw it in the zen store and then i found out that it was actually the Enterprise F...... SHUT UP AND TAKE MY ZEN! Ship is fan-designed also.... And, next to the little Aquarius in the back, it can separate its saucer from the drive section too, just like the "Old D" could. And i love the bridge too... Beats, IMHO, even the "modern" Discovery bridges. Has that Starfleet look.......
And the Odyssey sister ship to the Enterprise F the USS Yorktown carries on the lineage tradition. She has NCC 1717-A. She's the next in the family line to the old Connie refit Yorktown. And I love that with the legacy names the two sisters back together again after near 90 years in STO. I'm hoping in future story content the Yorktown gets her 25th century debut. Would be amazing if she fights alongside the Enterprise.
And that legacy itself can be traced back to ww2 with the American sister aircraft carriers Yorktown and Enterprise. By the time of STO, this legacy is over 460 years old.
I really do love the way they've portrayed the Enterprise in STO, and Captain Shon. I wish we got to see her and Shon's crew a little more often though. I've really come to like the Odyssey class since its introduction in the 2nd Anniversary event, and I especially love the Yorktown class refit it got. It's a ship I use far too infrequently, and I'm gonna set it up with a better build soon. EDIT: Oh, and I absolutely love the bridge! I wish I could get a nice, big bridge like that for the Jupiter class. Really feels like a capital ship with all the stations, a big view screen, room to move around, even a second floor below the main deck.
@@nathanielheilmann7351 I tend to prefer the Sovereign ones, but Emissary works too. In fact, the original Odyssey class had a redesigned Emissary bridge before they introduced this beautiful one with the T5 Odyssey store bundle.
My Main flies one of the variants, and I love it. I even love using the chevron separation on it because I'm always surprised to find it still "alive" at the end of most TFO's I do runs on.
Ah, I love the Odyssey class. I too would love to see it become the canon Enterprise-F. It's got the old tried and true Starfleet design aesthetic of the older Enterprises while having it's own unique flair at the same time. Also, while I love the sleek look of the Sovereign too, I appreciate how the Odyssey manages to keep the pointed style but also resembles the older ships in posture. I prefer the original look of the Odyssey over the Yorktown variant though. It's mostly the nacelles and pylons that I care for less. The Sojourner is very nice but also so different visually. The Endeavor is a no. At least not with that saucer.
The Odyssey class is a beautiful ship design. Personally, I most prefer the Endeavor refit variant but I think all of them are cool. Shon is also a cool captain, essentially being Andorian Kirk/Sisko. I do wonder if his MIA daughter will brought up in a future mission. (It's be 2 years in game and 12 years IRL, when is Starfleet going to reclaim the Vega system?) She is a fitting ship to bear the name Enterprise and boldly go where no one has gone before.
Nice job on the detail and lore for the Enterprise F and Captain Va'kel Shon. Its always great to learn what details I may have missed while playing Star Trek Online.
Another note, they desperately need to restore the First Contact Day missions where we got to meet the crews of the Enterprise-F, Bortasqu, and Lleisset as those were delightful missions and only having the chance to do them on one year was a travesty.
What you said about sto being constant battles. I completely agree. I really loved the early lukari story line as it seemed more exploration than battles and it was so much more enjoyable and interesting.
The Star Trek fan drawing this starship class on paper straight from his imagination and seeing this ship come to live in a comic, a MMORPG and live action series must be mindblowing
It is a beautiful design, and perfectly suited for an Enterprise/flagship design. It would be an utter shame if they replaced it with something wildly different. It would be appropriate for CBS to make some tweaks to it (I'm not a fan of saucer separations or auxiliary vessels for example) but otherwise keep most of it the way that it is.
Glad to see an andorian captaining the latest ship to bare the Enterprise's name and legacy. Shon's a stand up fellow who frankly? Sounds like he's a throwback to kirk without the problematic attitudes of kirk. Roll around getting into fights while poking everything wit ha stick to see what happens.
especially since he's the first non-human to captain the flagship of the federation, many non-humans have captained ships for starfleet but up until captain va'kel shawn no other race besides humans have ever actively commanded the enterprise, it would only be just that the first alien captain would be of one of the four founding federation races.
While I despise the split neck convention that STO adores, the Enterprise-F is a fine ship, with the right name. The Yorktown is a splendid uprate of the original and is more aesthetically pleasing to me. Also of note, after the Picard comic inclusion, the Legendary version of the ship is the Verity class which is a direct translation of the original fan design that became the Odyssey class. Shon is a great Captain, Rivas gives him a rock solid but humble voice, and you can tell why he got the nod to be Captain of the Enterprise. The Endeavor and Sojourner classes are also great variations on the design and have really appealing features. The Sojourner's Hybrid Galaxy saucer Constitution stardrive works incredibly well, and the angles on the Endeavor are immensely cool and give it an intel ship feel.
Quite informative and very interesting. Personaly I'm not a huge fan of the double neck solution but overall like the design of the ship. Much love for it's captain which in my opinion is a very well written an colorful NPC. Thanks for collecting the information and making them easy digestible. :)
The Odyssey class should definitely be made cannon and the Enterprise-F should be a part of this class, i think a cool way to have this is like in the last episode of Star Trek Picard whenever that is, the last scene is the commissioning of the ship to be the next Enterprise,
Ah the Odyssey Class...I have the sister class Yorktown and flew the USS Pathfinder for 3 years before getting and now using the Inquiry Class USS Pioneer from the year long free Premium ship coupon event!
I have really come to love this ship. This feels like the spiritual successor to the Galaxy class ships the the E never gave us. I don't know about following the STO stories but I really can't think of a better new Enterprise.
Mostly because the Galaxy was essentially a space cruise liner with weapons. The Sovereign was designed for patrol and combat because of the Borg and Dominion threats. I like to think the Odyssey is a return to Starfleet's roots of exploration now that the Borg threat has, potentially, been more or less trivialised.
I remember when this was announced for STO as the winner of a design contest, im so glad it didnt fade away. Its practically a cultural phenomenon now, i love it! And yeah, the combat focus of the game is kinda why i watch these episodes instead
The Odyssey imho represents the pinnacle of Starfleet ship design; capable of doing everything you’d ever need it to. Need to conduct covert surveillance or navigate tight quarters? Deploy the Aquarius, or likewise detach the Saucer if you need more punch in a fight. Deep space exploration? Odyssey-class vessels had years of onboard rations and could operate autonomously for 5-10 years depending on load. Need power projection? Odyssey-class vessels fit into the Dreadnought category and were the biggest ships fielded by the Federation. Diplomatic meeting? They were known for being extremely luxurious and spacious to VIPs and command staff. The base model was versatile, and three subversions (NCC-97001, 97002, 97003) provided room for enhanced facilities depending on needs. My headcanon for my STO toon is that his Odyssey class (U.S.S. Conqueror NCC-97018) was an Odyssey that sacrificed everything for the sake of total firepower. If Odyssey was the Iowa-class then Conqueror was New Jersey with Tomahawks.
Shame they just didn't keep Shon and the Enterprise F for the show. The story from STO is much better than anything we've seen on TV, and Shon and the F were a big part of most of it. At least Picard S3 brought several of the ships from the game into the show. I use the Gagarin on my primary Fed tactical character the Edison on my Discovery new character event character. Love them both. The STO refit versions are a big improvement of the original designs from STD.
Wouldn't Captain Spock be considered the first alien placed in command of an Enterprise-named vessel (as seen in the beginning of Wrath of Khan)? Thanks for posting
What is weird is the USS Hikaru Sulu a odyssey class seen at the console during the Box Assimilation is NCC 93XXX (I forgot the rest of the number but it started with the numbers 93)
At first glance, I never cared for the Odyssey class overall design. But the stats don't lie when it comes to it's variance. But then again, it's also has something to do with the eaglemoss star trek online official starships collection.
The Enterprise F is ship we should have got a Star Trek TV series about. I’m arc and cryptic wouldn’t of objected to CBS paramount borrowing the ship and characters
Given IDW's struggles with Star Trek art over the years, I would ignore the verity as IDW requesting images of a "future ship", and CBS licensing having the Odyssey on hand.
I really hope shon also becomes cannon. But if he doesn't I hope sto doesn't change and remove him. Him, jarok and kumarrkee are my favourite sto characters
ah yes the Odyssey class. one of my top 5 favorite classes in star trek. also prob the oldest T5 and T6 starships in the game itself. A Sovereign Class if it got retrofitted into a dreadnaught.
the USS Odyssey NX 97000 finished construction in 2405, while the USS Verity NCC 97000 - 97005 finished construction in 2387, the Verity was rushed to completion to serve as the Flagship of the Evacuation of the Romulan Star Empire in 2387, both the USS Odyssey NX 97000 and USS Aspiration would be mothballed mid-construction in 2387 amid sudden shipbuilding reprioritization efforts towards mass producing Inquiry Class Starships, and would not restart its construction efforts until the renewed Federation Klingon War in 2405, the USS Odyssey NX 97000 would finish first at 2406 and its registry would be changed into NCC 97000 while the USS Verity would change its registry into NCC 97005. the USS Aspiration did not have a serial registry number at the time of its mothball, so when it was reactivated it was renamed USS Enterprise-F with the serial NCC 1701-F. the circumstances for the loss of the Sovereign class Enterprise-E remains a mystery as its mission was highly classified. every Odyssey Class Supercapital ship was either destroyed or catastrophically crippled during the Battle of Earth in the Iconian War of 2410. however Starfleet decided to save these wrecks and rebuilt them into the Odyssey Class Block 2-S Yorktown Refit by 2411. notable facts: the Iconians were responsible for orchestrating several key events across the last 30+ years of history in the late 24th century to early 25th century, from the Hobus Supernova Disaster which should have never been able to destroy Romulus and Remus (Ambassador Spock knew of its threat but nobody outside of Starfleet believed him because that's not how normal supernova's work, evidently it wasn't a normal supernova.), to the Undine Threat, the Battle of Earth, the Battle of Qo'noS, the Vaad'waur Conflict, and many other notable events. It must be noted that the majority of these exceedingly skillful covert operations were performed by the servitor races of the Iconians, chiefly being the Heralds - whom hold the Iconians to very high regard as their progenitors and masters, other servitor races include the Dewans, the Solanae, the Tal'Shiar, the Elachi, and the Vaadwaur, it is undetermined whether or not the Bluegill race is considered as a servitor race or simply a covert tool used by the Solanae to indoctrinate members of various species as covert agents. the Undine are not a servitor race of the Iconians and were merely coaxed into war.
It's funny there was like 80 years between Enterprise A and D, but they went from D to F pretty quickly with Picard in command. Doesn't say much for his leadership.
A little copyright infringement idea here but funny I think. A younger Picard and Riker arguing over who's the captain of the Enterprise F, Pirates Of The Caribbean style Picard: What are you doing? Riker Caption of the ship gives orders Picard: The captain of the ship is giving orders Riker:My ship makes me captain Picard: They be my charts Riker: Then that makes you, chartman
It is a very impressive ship. But your take that it has been in combat more than the others. Leads me to think that the entire Star Trek muiltiverse. Maybe in a galactic influx as in the results of the Kelvin timeline that is now the main point of the continuous of it. If only Spock had succeeded in the original timeline. This alternate timeline would cease to exist.
Rick, I’m pleased as punch that Enterprise’s captain is not human. We need a lot more non-human Federation captains. I mean, after all, it’s the U.F.P., not United Earth.
So, are the Picard Comic declared canon? This means this ship class works to be canon and be the first time I can think of. That would be a first in my memory banks of non-TV or Movie lore be canon.
Yes and No. They're not "official" canon which is the TV shows and movies only. However because the Picard comics are written IIRC by the showrunner, a lot of fans consider them to be canon. Its not like Star Wars where there are "levels of canon".
@@nathanielheilmann7351 Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman wrote the plot (but not the script) for the Trek 2009 Countdown comic, which Picard retcons a fair bit of. So these sorts of licensed things can totally be overwritten as required.
I may not be remembering correctly, but wasn't there a book with an Enterprise-F that had Data as a Captain? Was it an alternate timeline or something? I cannot remeber what book it was either.
I like the design except for the gap between the engineering section and the saucer section. I almost never like gaps like that because they often make no sense unless people in engineering never need to move to the other sections and vice versa (or it is using time lord tech lol).
You were wrong. The first non-human Captain of USS Enterprise was Spock. He was Captain if NCC-1701 when she was relegated to a training ship during the Wrath of Kahn. Spock also was Captain when Kirk was lost in the USS Defiant.
Commodore Data was technically 2nd place non-human captain of _USS Enterprise_ (NCC-1701-F) from the "Imzadi" novel. Wesley Crusher wore a Van Dyke goatee years before Will Wheaton's beard in real life.
"I would love to see it become the next official Enterprise...but honestly it would require some perfect celestial alignment for that to occur." Yeah, about that...
I adore the Odyssey class, specifically the original version, i'm not a fan of the Yorktown variant (I just don't like the way it looks). The Odyssey class is my favorite ship in all of science fiction, my Odyssey class in STO is U.S.S. Atlantis NCC 9918.
Hmm. I have my free Oddy from back when they were originally released...I don't for for the cash-store ones. Decent ship, but it doesn't maneuver as well as I'd like.
The Odyssey-class is my favorite ship not just in Star Trek Online, but in Star Trek in general. It has the large proportions of a Galaxy-class coupled with the sleekness of a Sovereign-class still very-much looking likes its own ship.

That's not going to happen while Kurtzman has control of Trek.
im literally on my knees praying that it shows up in maybe the finale of Season 2 of Picard saving his ass somehow or something
CBS say that STO is somewhat cannon and the iconians are mentioned in Star Trek discovery
@@animemuse8613 The Iconians are actually mentioned in S2 of TNG. Picard & Data find an Iconian outpost
@@loseurillusion15 they found a iconion outpost yes but I don’t think they they were confined to be alive until sTar trek online
Honestly it feels like if the Odyssey class is made alpha canon at all it would be rude *not* to have an Enterprise in its lineup. It's just such a stylish class.
Your dream has come true then 👍
TriAngulum Audio Studios came up with a plausible explanation for the Odyssey class commissioning discrepancy between the Picard comic and Star Trek Online. They suggested that the Odyssey class was originally commissioned in 2385, with two testbed vessels, the Odyssey and the Verity, testing two versions of a quantum slipstream drive.

The Emissary Bridges work for that. They're the largest Federation bridges and work perfectly for carriers
@@nathanielheilmann7351 I tend to prefer the Sovereign ones, but Emissary works too. In fact, the original Odyssey class had a redesigned Emissary bridge before they introduced this beautiful one with the T5 Odyssey store bundle.

Have you read the magazine stories? A bunch of them deal with the Enterprise and her crew
“ more than just reading its stats” .. ouch.. felt that one all the way across the pond
Ah, I love the Odyssey class. I too would love to see it become the canon Enterprise-F. It's got the old tried and true Starfleet design aesthetic of the older Enterprises while having it's own unique flair at the same time. Also, while I love the sleek look of the Sovereign too, I appreciate how the Odyssey manages to keep the pointed style but also resembles the older ships in posture.
I prefer the original look of the Odyssey over the Yorktown variant though. It's mostly the nacelles and pylons that I care for less.
The Sojourner is very nice but also so different visually. The Endeavor is a no. At least not with that saucer.
I've heard that there's a chance of encountering the Enterprise F during the New Romulus Sector Patrols.
I've had it show up quite a few times when I've done those patrols.
Yep, and KDF captains have Koren and the Bortasqu
Can confirm. Captain Shon's been a treat to see out on patrol.
The Odyssey class is a beautiful ship design. Personally, I most prefer the Endeavor refit variant but I think all of them are cool.
Shon is also a cool captain, essentially being Andorian Kirk/Sisko. I do wonder if his MIA daughter will brought up in a future mission. (It's be 2 years in game and 12 years IRL, when is Starfleet going to reclaim the Vega system?)

I have to say that I love the dedication plaque quote
The Odyssey has the coolest bridge of any ST ship. It feels like an actual command vessel.
It’s a neat design, but it’s also unnecessarily large.
After seeing Enterprise F in the Picard season 3 trailer I'm hoping we actually get a new Enterprise series with Captain Shon.🤞🖖
the Odyssey was my very first zen store ship i got, i fell in love with the design as soon as i saw it
Now I want the back story on how the Federation and the Andorians finally made peace.
Would love to see the Enterprise F and its Andorian Captain to become the next long term Star Trek series.
100% yes!
especially since he's the first non-human to captain the flagship of the federation, many non-humans have captained ships for starfleet but up until captain va'kel shawn no other race besides humans have ever actively commanded the enterprise, it would only be just that the first alien captain would be of one of the four founding federation races.

I’ve been hoping to see a video on this for a long long time
It never really occurred to me, just how beautiful this ship is.
What a great story arc the Iconian war was. STO continues to impress me with their stories and their ship designs.
Enterprise F or G should be the basis of the next star trek show, we need the next next generation
Great vid! Thanks so much
Dave. aka. Voice of Capt. Shon.
Great video. I really like this ship and never thought I would say that!
4:41 What about Spock? He was a permanent captain when NCC-1701 was a training ship. Data also was a captain and he was an android
One of the most beautiful ships in all of star trek and my favorite hands down.

It’s my FAVORITE Enterprise design second only to the NX-01, but I can’t with that Bridge! It’s HUGE!! 😄

I always feel better when your deep in it and the Enterprise shows up to lend a hand.
I think it is fitting that once again, Enterprise is a Yorktown-class, like her ancestor, the USS Enterprise CV(N)-6. That is a nice call back.

Nice, Sounds like a cool guy

Love being in combat with the Enterprise.
ah yes the Odyssey class. one of my top 5 favorite classes in star trek. also prob the oldest T5 and T6 starships in the game itself. A Sovereign Class if it got retrofitted into a dreadnaught.

"Perfect Celestial Alignment" has occured today
*points to new Picard Season 3 trailer*
It would be cool to see it show up in Star Trek Picard
the USS Odyssey NX 97000 finished construction in 2405, while the USS Verity NCC 97000 - 97005 finished construction in 2387, the Verity was rushed to completion to serve as the Flagship of the Evacuation of the Romulan Star Empire in 2387, both the USS Odyssey NX 97000 and USS Aspiration would be mothballed mid-construction in 2387 amid sudden shipbuilding reprioritization efforts towards mass producing Inquiry Class Starships, and would not restart its construction efforts until the renewed Federation Klingon War in 2405, the USS Odyssey NX 97000 would finish first at 2406 and its registry would be changed into NCC 97000 while the USS Verity would change its registry into NCC 97005.
the USS Aspiration did not have a serial registry number at the time of its mothball, so when it was reactivated it was renamed USS Enterprise-F with the serial NCC 1701-F. the circumstances for the loss of the Sovereign class Enterprise-E remains a mystery as its mission was highly classified. every Odyssey Class Supercapital ship was either destroyed or catastrophically crippled during the Battle of Earth in the Iconian War of 2410. however Starfleet decided to save these wrecks and rebuilt them into the Odyssey Class Block 2-S Yorktown Refit by 2411.
notable facts: the Iconians were responsible for orchestrating several key events across the last 30+ years of history in the late 24th century to early 25th century, from the Hobus Supernova Disaster which should have never been able to destroy Romulus and Remus (Ambassador Spock knew of its threat but nobody outside of Starfleet believed him because that's not how normal supernova's work, evidently it wasn't a normal supernova.), to the Undine Threat, the Battle of Earth, the Battle of Qo'noS, the Vaad'waur Conflict, and many other notable events.
It must be noted that the majority of these exceedingly skillful covert operations were performed by the servitor races of the Iconians, chiefly being the Heralds - whom hold the Iconians to very high regard as their progenitors and masters, other servitor races include the Dewans, the Solanae, the Tal'Shiar, the Elachi, and the Vaadwaur, it is undetermined whether or not the Bluegill race is considered as a servitor race or simply a covert tool used by the Solanae to indoctrinate members of various species as covert agents. the Undine are not a servitor race of the Iconians and were merely coaxed into war.
I’ve always likes the lines on the STO Enterprise. Mix of Excelsior and Enterprise E
Honestly i dont care what Nu trek chooses as their next Enterprise this will always be my Enterprise F
I loved the bridge in game. My opinion, best bridge
It's funny there was like 80 years between Enterprise A and D, but they went from D to F pretty quickly with Picard in command. Doesn't say much for his leadership.
I need to use my legendary Odyssey. I haven’t touched it yet.
It's a very nice ship I must say
It now looks like "perfect, celestial alignment" has occoured!
I’m planning on writing a book about a Odyssey Class starship on its 5 year mission. Hopefully it works out. Still working on the story and all that.
Do they use the bridge transporter to get to the engineering section too, like the Oberth class? :D
A little copyright infringement idea here but funny I think.
A younger Picard and Riker arguing over who's the captain of the Enterprise F, Pirates Of The Caribbean style
Picard: What are you doing?
Riker Caption of the ship gives orders
Picard: The captain of the ship is giving orders
Riker:My ship makes me captain
Picard: They be my charts
Riker: Then that makes you, chartman
It is a very impressive ship. But your take that it has been in combat more than the others. Leads me to think that the entire Star Trek muiltiverse. Maybe in a galactic influx as in the results of the Kelvin timeline that is now the main point of the continuous of it. If only Spock had succeeded in the original timeline. This alternate timeline would cease to exist.
Great video 🖖🏾
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Spock appointed to the position of Captain of the Enterprise at one point?
Meanwhile, me still flying around in an Excelsior class, refusing to let the class give up the ghost.
Rick, I’m pleased as punch that Enterprise’s captain is not human. We need a lot more non-human Federation captains. I mean, after all, it’s the U.F.P., not United Earth.
Was that Enterprise F refit completed on a Tuesday 🧐🤷🏾♂️
So, are the Picard Comic declared canon? This means this ship class works to be canon and be the first time I can think of. That would be a first in my memory banks of non-TV or Movie lore be canon.
Yes and No. They're not "official" canon which is the TV shows and movies only. However because the Picard comics are written IIRC by the showrunner, a lot of fans consider them to be canon. Its not like Star Wars where there are "levels of canon".
@@nathanielheilmann7351 Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman wrote the plot (but not the script) for the Trek 2009 Countdown comic, which Picard retcons a fair bit of. So these sorts of licensed things can totally be overwritten as required.
I may not be remembering correctly, but wasn't there a book with an Enterprise-F that had Data as a Captain? Was it an alternate timeline or something? I cannot remeber what book it was either.
And I do know that in 'Star Trek: Countdown', he was depicted as Captain of the Enterprise-E.
I like the design except for the gap between the engineering section and the saucer section. I almost never like gaps like that because they often make no sense unless people in engineering never need to move to the other sections and vice versa (or it is using time lord tech lol).
Looks like the amazing celestial alignment does occur.
I blame Q...
You were wrong. The first non-human Captain of USS Enterprise was Spock. He was Captain if NCC-1701 when she was relegated to a training ship during the Wrath of Kahn. Spock also was Captain when Kirk was lost in the USS Defiant.
Commodore Data was technically 2nd place non-human captain of _USS Enterprise_ (NCC-1701-F) from the "Imzadi" novel. Wesley Crusher wore a Van Dyke goatee years before Will Wheaton's beard in real life.
Okay, who tossed a flash bang on the Enterprise-F's bridge.
hmmm... what do i need to buy it? or do i need to reach certain rank... it says here im currently fleet admiral...
3:10 Ahh - Star Trek, the Necks Generation.
"I would love to see it become the next official Enterprise...but honestly it would require some perfect celestial alignment for that to occur."
Yeah, about that...
Your wish has been granted...
Well… here we are at perfect celestial alignment.
USS Belfast, the only known federation ship to be taken out by a pipe-bomb.
Well, with Picard Season 3, this is going to need a TOTAL Retcon ....
This version of the Enterprise-F's history is way better than the crap they came up with for Star Trek Picard
To find out about the fate of shauns defiant class ship, play the lost dominion arc
I adore the Odyssey class, specifically the original version, i'm not a fan of the Yorktown variant (I just don't like the way it looks). The Odyssey class is my favorite ship in all of science fiction, my Odyssey class in STO is U.S.S. Atlantis NCC 9918.
This sounds like a far better storyline than Discovery.
Hmm. I have my free Oddy from back when they were originally released...I don't for for the cash-store ones. Decent ship, but it doesn't maneuver as well as I'd like.
Sometime another after the Klingon where it look like the Enterprise Odyssey got a new bridge recently
