As Earth studied the captured Tellarite ship, the radio transmissions of the Eirickson sped towards home to relay the news of the discovery, of the worldwide panic the ‘sneak attack’ of the Erickson had caused on Tellar, and of the peaceful solution to that panic by the hand-and-hoofshake of Captain Anders and monarch Gartov.

	For the slower warp ships of the day, I could see a push for further occupation and establishment of outposts, monitoring stations, and forward operating bases throughout the Oort Cloud, which extends to roughly a full light-year in radius around the sun. While it's never explicitly mentioned in Trek lore, in real life there is a very strong suspicion that the Oort Cloud contains a lot of dwarf-planets of various sizes including as big as Mars or Earth itself (Interestingly, in this context, they would still be considered "dwarf" planets as their orbits would be so large, having Earth-like mass wouldn't be enough to establish gravitational dominance in their orbit.) If my conjectural "Tellarite Panic" actually happened, I could see an effort being made to establish something like the Distant Early Warning Line (DEW Line) from the Cold War days in the Oort Cloud. That 1 LY radius also would be within practical range of the first-gen warp ships of the era (in the sense that travel-times would be limited to within months or weeks.) The Oort DEW Line would definitely necessitate transport craft as well since a lot of equipment would need to be moved out there.

			===Rev to AJ==
			I think I figured out the ''SS Leif Eirickson''/[[Tellar]] first contact(s)/''Hawke'' class issue, but want to see if you can break it. That will require some reading on your part, however.

			Here's the source material:
			- [http://starshiptracker.com/sfcwiki/index.php/Guide:DY_warp_series]
			- [http://starshiptracker.com/sfcwiki/index.php/Guide:Liberty]

			The second only requires reading from the paragraph starting, "True enough..."

			The issue is the date of first contact—at Tellar—is quite clear as taking place in [[2073]], as is Tellar's first contact with Humans at [[Neptune]] the same year. However, Timo says the ''Hawke'' class enters service in [[2087]].

			I'll let you read that yourself. When you're ready, let me know and I'll propose my "solution".

			===AJ to Rev===
			Yeah, I can see from the articles the considerations regarding the narrative are going to be tight. What is your proposal?

			===Rev to AJ===
			I think it boils down to being a mis-understanding on my part. Timo's writing can be rather dense and—of course—he's working to tie together vessels from many different sources.

			Both Timo & Delta Dynamics (DD) present important historical ships, not just those in either the [[UESF]] or [[Star Fleet]]. So, when we "re-started" our line on the "beginning" with #300, our focus was not on "military" ships, but ones that served as technological steps forward or early explorers

			That's especially true with #300, the sub-light DY issue, which was one of our most complex. The DYs presented by Timo and DD were...all of them. Each iteration of the DY-1xx series was presented, whether they were the armed ''Apex'' or regulation enforcement variants, but also the prototype DY-50, the transports, the explorers.

			I think that when Adrasil asked me to look ahead to the ''Leif Eirickson'', I went into it—as I have for years—seeing Timo's article as a presentation of the entire warp-capable DY lineage. However, it occurred to me (after I roped you in) that maybe Timo was limiting the scope, when I saw the quantity of ships that he presented for the three sub-classes in the sidebar: 22, 15, & 50. Maybe, with this article, he was shifting into the full-on "militarized" presentations. Afterall, he mentions something like 13 different iterations of the warp-capable DYs, but only gets specific with three.

			> "Lacking in range, the 1100 series did not sell as well as expected once it was established that there were few planets of interest in the immediate vicinity of [[Earth]]. DY tried to recoup on its losses by pushing the vessels to government work within the [[Sol]] system, but competition was fierce. The 1100 series was slightly too large and clumsy for combat maneuvers, fragile in basic construction, and relatively underpowered at impulse. The capacious interiors, originally optimized for long interstellar journeys, were the primary asset in securing a [[2087]] deal for fifteen DY-1100 hulls to serve in the Strategic Space Command of the newly-founded [[UESN]]."

			(Of course, Timo had [[UESF]] there, but Earth's Starfleet hadn't been founded yet.)

			It really sounds like he's saying the DY-1100 had an operational history prior to that selection by the UESN in [[2087]]. So, if we put aside the fantastically-futurized hullform (in comparison to other contemporaneous ships), it's certainly possible that private use of the DY-1100 could have resulted in the [[Tellar]] FC in [[2073]] and that, despite the class' limitations, it was wasn't procured until [[2087]] as a UESN transport.

			That's my take.

			===AJ to Rev===
			Indeed, based on the wording of the quoted paragraph, I would concur the implication is that the DY-1100 started out earlier as a civilian vehicle and then was remarketed as a military platform when that didn't pan out. This does open up some other thoughts though:

			1) It's mentioned that the DY-1100 didn't sell well in civilian markets as it was "lacking in range." It seems that wouldn't make it a likely contender for defense procurement unless the DY-1100 was upgraded to the ''Hawke''-class' specs. But here's the rub: If that's NOT the case, it would suggest DY was building warp 2.5 vessels right alongside (or even before...?) much slower ships. If that IS the case, and the ''Leif Erickson'' was considerably slower (as a pre-''Hawke'' 1100), it would be difficult to even get to [[Tellar Prime]] within the ship's endurance limitations. Based on the speeds listed for the DY warp ships, to get to Tellar Prime, we'd be looking at:

			Warp 2.5 (15.6c): ~9 months one-way
			Warp 2 (8c): ~1.4 years one-way
			Warp 1.4 (2.7c): ~4.16 years one-way.

			It seems like Warp 2.5 would be the minimum sustainable cruising speed needed to make a crewed trip to Tellar Prime practical (without either making it a sleeper-ship or just plain bigger). But as I've already noted, that would imply DY was building W2.5 ships very soon after the Flight of the Phoenix.

			2) The bit about radio transmissions from the ''Leif Erickson'' inspires some questions unto it's own. Did something happen to the ''Erickson'' which prevented it from getting back to Earth? Under any circumstances, warping back to Earth would get a message there sooner. It would make sense to send out a transmission regardless just in case the vessel was lost, but barring that, the ''Erickson'' should have returned to Earth long before it's own transmission arrived.

			===Rev to AJ===
			> ''It seems that wouldn't make it a likely contender for defense procurement unless the DY-1100 was upgraded to the ''Hawke''-class' specs.''

			I want to defend it with "it was procured to just be a transport"...but that's no answer when range is considered (and belied by Timo's categorization of a "patrol cruiser"). This is a time period where you want to get between the [[Sol]] system and a target system, when deep-space & system depots don't exist. Other than as transport or convoy protection, why would [[Earth]]—at this stage—need power projection or non-Sol planetary defense? If we can come up with a projection mission, then the internal cargo capacity gives it some legs. But the range issue remains the problem.

			I wish Timo had designated the ''Hawke'' class as DY-1150 rather than -1100, because then it would be easily accepted that the [[UESN]] version was a variant. However, we can easily write to the DY-1100 being similar to a car model series, with incremental upgrades over the intervening 15+ years.

			> ''it would be difficult to even get to [[Tellar Prime]] within the ship's endurance limitations''

			Complete concurrence. I'm absolutely fine with changing Timo stats when we've exhausted rationalizing the provided data. We may need to do so in this case.

			Just thought of this: the ''Hawke'' class has a crew of 83 with that large internal storage space. A militarized craft will have crew redundancy added, so it stands to reason a commercial DY-1100 exploration ship could have a longer range with significantly less crew. Of course, that same earlier vessel will not have the w 2.5 capacity of the [[2087]] ''Hawke'' class vessel either. We may want to continue to rely on cryogenics for one or both and/or extend Timo's endurance.

			I think we have some room with which to play.

			Continuing on with your thought exercise regarding travel times, the Tellarites arrived at [[Neptune]] just a few days after the ''Leif Eirickson'' made contact in their system. Up until today, I assumed the Sol visit was a response to that contact by Humans at [[Tellar]], which suggests they have near Warp 5 capability themselves (assuming 40 days transit). I guess that's not unreasonable, but in re-reading Timo with more critical attention, it does appear that the Neptune arrival was coincidental to the Tellar first contact and may not have been made by these "explorer-merchantmen" knowledgeable of that homeworld connection.

			As to your second point (radio transmissions), I'm choosing to read that as a factoid about how history is "received" thru the different means of reporting; in this case, the differences between the predominant STL radio and and new FTL propulsion. Whichever NGO sent the ''Eirickson'' may have had procedures for reporting via radio as a back-up, in case of vessel loss? Not a great analogy, but the use of nuclear fission on early naval vessels, especially only—say 8 to 10 years after development—might be considered still rather risky/unreliable. Afterall, the losses of both the ''Defiant'' ([[2066]]) and ''Valiant'' ([[2073]]) were fresh reminders of the risks.

			This is a great discussion. I'm capturing it for our review for when we get to this issue.
