  Is there another version of the name in another game or something?  Everyone keeps calling it Norexean and it drives me crazy.


i think i identified 3 distinctly different spellings usually while the poster was claiming to be asserting the facts of the ship... it has me very confused... maybe the real issue being debated isn't Valdore vs Norexan, its Norexan vs Norexean vs Norexian vs... i dunno Norexion?  whoa... it is pronounced "No Erection?"  guess thats why they had a female captain...

In game it's spelled Norexan, but I myself for a while thought it was Norexean.  I think the argument comes from there being no official word on what they're called - Valdore-type just refers to one of the ships of that class in Nemesis, if I remember correctly.

I also think that the Valdore and her escort were a little too new to know more about classification and so on. The meaning of the Valdore's appearance in Nemesis was to take the Scimitar down, not to show the federation detailed plans of newer warbird designs. And this type of warbird acted like a light cruiser if compared to the D'Deridex. The term "Warbird" is referred more to design than to combat strength.

Names like Norexan and tries to classificate it are Fan-fiction, not given Star Trek-material.

Typically, (though not always as the case with the Valdore.) Ships in the Star Trek universe have a name... and a class. This is not a 'fannon' concept...

Of course they HAVE a class. But that classification is not always told on screen so it's sometimes open to the fans and that is what I meant.
