* Star Trek: Bridge Commander aka BCFiles is back! Now on Gamefront! https://www.gamefront.com/games/bridge-commander
Yes, star trek is really based off Time travelers stories from the future.
and, if you haven't noticed, most other species simply don't name individual ships. that's an earth tradition, and may be a thing for the Human species. also, Gene Roddenberry himself was a Navy man, so he used familiar names (i think he was a butter-bar). there are exceptions, but they're mostly in Novels. and the ONLY thing that's cannon is Paramount's official productions. this is not like the Lucasverse where everything HAS to be cannon. otherwise, could y'uns get away with all these kitbashed ships?I agree with newman...you're all thinking about it too hard.
This is Commander Donatra of the Romulan Warbird Valdore
