Talk:Donald Kaplan

The background information about WHICH Intrepid Kaplan is serving aboard is conjecture and in no way provable. Has this been in a script or said by any of the writers? – SebastianProoth 18:01, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Which part? It was stated in the episode that the Intrepid was challenging the efficiency of the Enterprise, and I don't see that happening with an Excelsior class starship. It is speculation, yes, but reasonable speculation, which is why it is allowed in the background section. It is not in the canon section for the reason that it is speculation. --OuroborosCobra talk 18:07, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

I didn't think speculation had any place in an encyclopedia article. I don't want to force the issue...but I don't think that we need to speculate about a ship that had not even been thought about by the producers of Star Trek at the time (or was in VERY early development) It just seems a little pointless to me.– SebastianProoth 22:35, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

 * It is likely that Kaplan was serving on the USS Intrepid (NCC-74600) at the time, considering that he was challenging the warp core efficiency rating of the top-of-the-line starships one year before the launch of another Intrepid-class vessel, the USS Voyager.
