Talk:Soliton wave rider

Defense pods
So according to this article, the pods that were used as part of the Mars Defense Perimeter were Soliton wave riders. That's certainly an interesting conclusion to draw from the two appearances. --Alan 23:03, January 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, especially because the soliton rider was built by aliens, whereas the MDP ships were built by Starfleet- two different groups. I realize its the same model, but given the different origins they cannot be the same class/type of ship.--31dot 23:12, January 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * Different origins? Soliton wave experiment was a Federation test. So, Federation drone ships seen one year appart that look identical cannot be the same type? --Pseudohuman 23:36, January 31, 2010 (UTC)

First of all, I want to know where you are getting your contradictory information from? There is no indication that the Federation was involved with, nor provided the test vessel that the Bilana III doctor used to perform his test, nor that Bilana III was even a Federation planet, muchless member. The Enterprise's assistance was the first mention of any Federation involvement in the project. And just because they reused a model in the same series for entirely different purposes and most likely difference origins doesnt make it the same vehicle, there are certainly enough examples to support that fact. --Alan 14:03, February 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Whoops, I was just going with info from the Encyclopedia, sorry. Corrected the article. --Pseudohuman 21:46, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
