| U.S.S. Yeager |
NCC-65674 |


 |
1) The Yeager was seen in stock footage of ships at DS9 a dozen times or more. It
is a kitbashed design which incorporates components of the Intrepid and Maquis raider in an impossible combination. Unfortunately,
this is confirmed by the official image in the DS9 Technical Manual. The image must be retouched in a way that the engineering hull
is not just an inflated Maquis raider hull.
2) Until recently, we thought that it was just "Yeager class", and the name of the individual ship may have been something else.
This would have allowed to reconcile this ship with the USS Yeager NCC-61947 that could be seen in "First Contact". Now the
situation is different, as we have two Yeagers with very close older registries. Even if the Yeager in DS9 had been named in honor
of the ship that may have been destroyed by the Borg, this would still raise the question why the new ship has such a low registry
(while other new ships of the time had something around NCC-75000).
