I can see that. would explain all the redundant mission roles of starships.
How many Minbari does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

In the Mirror universe? Whose warp coil factory would have coils suitable for the Defiant, a design from an alternate universe?

The right size and shape for a ship that originated in a different reality, was revolutionary in it's own universe, and was based on a design lineage that ended decades earlier?
I was only joking but we have seen stranger coincidences in Trek before. :lol:

Maybe they jumped into yet another reality and stole some from there... :roll:
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.

Who builds starships?

Engineers. People trained to put them together. There, case closed.:-)

How do we know that they aren't subcontracted out? That COULD explain a whole lot about the GCS.

Nope - it's Ed. He has a place in Hoboken, but spends most of his time on ES McKinley. And good lord, is he busy.

Are you saying that GD survives into the 23rd century?
Well, it is in California, I think it is close to San Fransisco.

Sure why not? And by then it should be de-classified because the rest of the world will have caught up to their tech. In fact, lets argue that GD survived WWIII and assissted Dr. Cochrane with his plans for Warp Drive. Heck, we can even say Dr. Cochrane worked for GD at some point!

See, it all fits! :-D
