I don't have Twilight so maybe someone who does could clarify for me if the Chaffee is in it and the events it is involved in. -- Tough Little Ship 16:35, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

it visits an GQ alien construct called the Cathedral, the crew ends up being exposed to life-altering energies.

it is odd, it is definitely stated that the Chaffee has "NX-74205" written on the side -- which might mean it was the same Chaffee seen in the series, as a NEW shuttle would have had the Sao Paulo's registry on the side. -- Captain M.K.B. 17:11, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

And why is that, the new Defiant has exactly the same registration as the old. -- 8of5 18:59, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Actually, that's a matter of debate. The DS9 Relaunch hasn't settled it yet. Though the ship was renamed Defiant, it should have kept the Sao Paolo's registry number, but when seen in WYLB, they used stock footage, so it had the original NX registry --TimPendragon 19:02, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Relaunch comics, and the canon reuse of images have confirmed it, hence our pages are named USS Defiant (NX-74205) (I) and USS Defiant (NX-74205) (II). -- 8of5 19:07, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

And yet Marco has said on numerous occasions on TrekBBS that it would eventually be addressed in a new novel. --TimPendragon 19:08, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

See Talk:USS Defiant (NX-74205) (II) where this has all been covered, IF it is ever addressed the discussion will take place, until there are at least two sources saying its the same number against fan speculation of anything else. -- 8of5 19:12, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Regardless of all this, there is still the possibility that it is the same Chaffee. -- Captain M.K.B. 00:57, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
