Vanguard - Starbase 47

Post by Meste17 »

Is Vanguard basically the DS9 of the 23rd century, but with some subtle differences?

I'm wondering where this line of questioning is going to go... :laughroll:

Should it please the court I wish to demonstrate that the series of books written about the station provide more than enough information to draw one's own conclusion.

They look nothing alike. They are from different time periods. As far as I know there are no wormholes or a species protected by near God like entities.

So maybe you can be specific.

I'm guessing, something like...

"Could you refit Deep Space Nine with a warp drive and then use it as a giant long range shuttlecraft? If the giant shuttle had a Captain, what race do you think he would be? Would the Federation use the giant shuttle on Betazoid, or Vulcan?"

So then Vanguard isn't like DS9? What about K- 7? :happydevil:

DS9 is obviously the best choice for quantum slip stream.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Hey now, be nice. At least he(?) generates a little Trek-related activity on the board.

Weren't bad, although more than one character I kinda wanted to smack upside the head.
