He had said he's hurk cuz it's not a cannon ship. Some people can't use thier imagination when it comes to ships. Sometimes non-cannon ships are kooler than what's there. Some ships are design for specific things is all. I happen to think the Tallace is a good ship. I'd call her my own anyday.

it looks nice, and defiant, all ships are uncannon tostart off with, if i showed you a pic of one of the many exapmles of the gal class you would call them uncannon but they are still ST, you need to expand on the range of ships, i erpsonaly like non cannon, ie this ship and a few others the discovery suck monkey dick (JK white )

First it's canon, not cannon. It's the same word as "singing canon", meaning the same song starting at different points of time (for example "Row, row, row your boat").

I don't know if this saying is common in English, too, but in German you sometimes say: "That fits to the canon." meaning it fits to the general attitude of a group of people concerning the same topic.

So in fact, canon means in this case, that it's "official" because it has either been stated by the people who make Star Trek but more so if it has been seen either in an actual TV series or movie.

Sometimes it's also called conjectural and non-conjectural if talking about things that have been designed by people from the show but not actually been used.

So, canon is generally everything that can be seen in released movies and series while non-canon stuff is everything else, especially everything fan-made.

thanks a lot for this explanation

Yes Eufnoc everything the designers make in the beginning is not canon, but once it's in the show it's considered canon. This ship, being an ugly ass kitbash, dosen't appeal to me design wise already, and the fact it was never in a show leaves me wondering why we couldn't use all those ships first, then make them up.

TanEdos, don't worry i'm not jealous.

And thank you white for your nice little correction/I TOLD YOU explanation.

I still like the ship. You don't have to like her, you're opinions are your own. I know I wont be called to fly her in any fleets of yours while She's commissioned. Cannon Ships are ok, but I like the unconventional aproach to some things. Is all.
