STAR TREK FEDERATION BATTLESHIP MOVIE

The Klingon attack cruiser is behind the Jem'Hadar battleship from the viewer's angle, since the green disruptor beam hits the upper half of the battleship (or something located just above its wings). The more interesting size comparison is possible with the Vor'cha. The Defiant will still get a bit closer in the same shot. This is why the big ship appears only five times as wide as the Defiant on this image. The Defiant can be seen in front of the battleship, but it is obvious that there is some distance between them ( image). In the final battle of WYLB, before the Dominion retreats to Cardassia, there are some scenes with the Jem'Hadar battleship and other starships. Screen Evidence from DS9: 'What You Leave Behind' Battleship vs. In the actual CGI scenes in 'Valiant' the battleship was scaled up though. Summarizing, it is possible that the ship was designed to fulfill two requirements: To be roughly twice as long as the Galaxy class, while allowing the Valiant to pass through the gap underneath the pod. In fact, if we reconstruct the position of the Defiant above the battleship's dorsal side ( image), we get a lower length limit of no less than 3300m for the battleship, assuming a 120m Valiant. While a definite statement is hard, it is quite clear that the battleship is at least fifteen times as the long as the Valiant, probably even longer. There are scenes that show the Valiant in front of rather small portions of the Dominion ship: from the Valiant's first fly-by ( image) along the dorsal side, and from the second one along the ship's bottom ( image). The following battle reveals that Jake's statement must refer to the ship's length.

Concerning the accuracy of the statement, if the ship were actually 1000m long, the Red Squad member who told Jake about it in the first place probably wouldn't have chosen the Galaxy as a size reference, but would have said 'twice as long as an Excelsior' (or Ambassador) or something like that. This will be confirmed by the visual comparison. Because of the general tendency of comparing length figures instead of volumes, the latter of which are hard to estimate, we may assume that he actually meant the length. In the first case the Jem'Hadar ship would be 2*642m =ДЎ284m long, in the second case 'only' 2^(1/3) = 1.26 times as long as a Galaxy class. While this is one of the very few verbal size comparisons in Star Trek, it is not definite whether it refers to its length or to its volume. The Jem'Hadar battleship is described by Jake Sisko as being twice as large as a Galaxy-class ship.

Screen Evidence from DS9: 'Valiant' Dialogue The second question is if such incredibly huge ships can exist at all and where they suddenly come from. The first problem is that the huge ship (sometimes called 'confrontation cruiser' in fandom) is exactly the same model as the smaller one from 'Valiant', but scaling considerations would forbid the two real ships to be the same design. In the shot with the Dominion fleet in Cardassia's orbit we can spot several of these massive ships, but now they are even much bigger, perhaps 5km long, compared any of the other ships. We never see this vessel again until DS9: 'What You Leave Behind' (WYLB). We also can't forget to mention the NX-01 ('Star Trek: Enterprise,' 2001-05), the first Enterprise that could achieve Warp 5, letting its crew explore beyond just nearby star systems.DS9: 'Valiant' features a Jem'Hadar battleship that is purportedly twice as large and three times as strong as a Federation Galaxy class.

The movie version can operate underwater, but the original series version took out some nasty Klingons with the self-destruct sequence during 'Star Trek III: The Search for Spock' (1984). The NCC-1701 is a bit different in 'The Original Series' (1966-68) than in the alternate timeline of the recent movies (2009-present). The earlier ship NCC-1701-D ('Star Trek: The Next Generation') had more than 1,000 crewmembers on board and was supremely fast, moving at up to Warp 9 with ease. The NCC-1701-E ('Star Trek: The Next Generation' movies) had quantum torpedoes and, unlike some of its predecessors, could actually take on a Borg cube. There are so many versions of the USS Enterprise that we decided to put them together into one slide, highlighting some of the unique features of notable versions.
