Did Galaxy's get quantams?

[MR. Nevyn]

Only Sovereign and Defiant have them according to canon. There was one Excelsior, but it was a special refitted ship so we can ignore it. The reason why we don't see other quantum's is, according to me, because quantum torpedo's are still a novelty. It takes time to build factory's to produce them and Starfleet simply didn't have the time. So only a hew ships could be equipped. After the war I'm certain all of Starfleet's capital ships will be equipped with quantums and the Galaxy's will be no exception.

Quantum Torpedoes use a MK5 Photon casing, also the nature of the torpedo made it lighter than a photon, and could be launched at greater speeds and from the SAME tube. They used an artificial QUANTUM singularity, found on a captured romulan ship.

I would like to have a link to the source, as I cannot find it on the 'Quantum Torpedo' page. Also Mk V photon torpedoes were used at least before TMP era, so it's highly unlikely those will be used.

According to the tech manuals (I know, often wrong and unreliable) Quantums have their own specialised casing.

ok i was wrong on the warhead, but http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Quantum_torpedo says

The Federation quantum torpedoes apparently use the standard photon torpedo casing. (DS9: "Valiant")

also on the defiant page

Armament:    4 phaser cannons, 3 phaser emitters, 4 forward torpedo (photon and quantum torpedo) launchers, 2 aft torpedo launchers

http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Defiant_class

Hm, I was always under the impression the Defiant only had 2 forward launchers... Maybe it means 2 Photon and 2 Quantum?

Anyway, it also states (describing what you just said):
"Nog modifies unspecified torpedoes with photon torpedo casings in this episode. When they are fired the effect is identical to the quantum torpedo."

I've underlined those two words, who says they're not Photon torpedos and the mods Nog makes merely gives them the appearance of Quantums? Or that the FX or props guys got confused or lazy?

If you take everything you see on screen as canon you'll be stuck in paradoxes, conundrums and hypocrisy.

Plasma warheads were very unstable. But desperate times call for desperate measures, a quantum torpedo uses a 0 point vibration plasma warhead, so it is very stable
