Jaunt Ship Enterprise
Jaunt Ship Enterprise
So I have read one of my all time favorite novels - Star Trek Mirror Universe: Rise Like Lions - and I have been actually fascinated about the Jaunt ships, such as the new starship Enterprise. What has been described about the ship seems to suggest to me a Vulcan-esque type of ship, something like the D'Kyr class, but with nacelles attached to the ring. Can anyone confirm, deny and/or corroborate on this?

No I can't, but confirm and corroborate mean the same thing.

I like the term though.

It would be even "British-er" if they used the old nautical term "jolly boat."RK_Striker_JK_5 wrote:I like it too, but it sounds so... British!

That's a jolly good idea to be called a jolly boat.Mikey wrote:It would be even "British-er" if they used the old nautical term "jolly boat."RK_Striker_JK_5 wrote:I like it too, but it sounds so... British!

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.

Re: Jaunt Ship Enterprise
Well I have personally corresponded with the author of the novel, David Mack himself, via email and he had given me a pretty good picture of what the Enterprise looks like, as he is quoted as saying, and I quote, "Picture a long needle-nosed fuselage surrounded by a wide, flat ring, with the ring connected to the needle fuselage by three pylons, each 120° apart from the others. Similar in some ways to early Vulcan starships."
So I have sent him an image of something that I put together on paint (let's keep the laughter to a minimum, I know this isn't exactly art or expert drawing), and he is then quoted as saying, "Not quite, but a good start." So here is what I have.

Re: Jaunt Ship Enterprise
Actually it's more like one of the early Vulcan ships from Star Trek Enterprise - with one exception: the needle shaped fuselage is connected to the ring BY the nacellesMcAvoy wrote:Isn't that the ship from TMP Enterprise wall?

Re: Jaunt Ship Enterprise
Are there actual nacelles? He describes a ring connected by pylons, but doesn't mention nacelles on those pylons.

Re: Jaunt Ship Enterprise
What's the point of the ring then if it has nacelles?

Re: Jaunt Ship Enterprise
Yes, he specifically said that warp nacelles were attached to the ring. The nacelles themselves were attached to the needle nosed hull.Graham Kennedy wrote:Are there actual nacelles? He describes a ring connected by pylons, but doesn't mention nacelles on those pylons.
Re: Jaunt Ship Enterprise
Because the ring itself contains the wormhole generator - or jaunt drive - that allows it to create the wormholes. Think of the Bajoran wormhole, but artificially generated.McAvoy wrote:What's the point of the ring then if it has nacelles?
