I've just seen a copy of this on the shelves at the Indigo bookstore at Bloor and Bay in Toronto. If a more seasoned veteran of the Wikia can get confirmation from a secondary source, you might want to change the publication history dates. -- CanadianLemming 21:00, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

It's typical for novels to actually be available a couple of weeks before their official month, so far we've kept to the offical dates. --8of5 07:27, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm. Like the Sag. Looks like Masao is using elements from his "Paris class" and "Avenger class" from his "Starfleet Museum" ships. (reminder to those who don't know it: Masao's "Starfleet Museum" is a fan work and thus not a source for this wiki. But it does show his affinity for "TOS design sense", and helped him get his gigs designing Vanguard and the Archer class)--Emperorkalan 14:00, 20 September 2006 (UTC), updated--Emperorkalan 14:10, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

If you're in interested, Masao pops into this thread at the Trek BBS lit forum several times and confirms your "Paris-class" theory.--Turtletrekker 07:22, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Souldn't it be mentioned in the Information section that the book includes a Vanguard Minipedia? --Defcon 10:43, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it should be mentioned. Its just that nobody's added it yet. Feel free. -- Captain MKB 12:48, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
