This was an excellent use of the medium. Not just "check out this cool thing that didn't get enough love", but "let's play with the idea of what we known and how it would fit in an alternate timeline". Great example of how to merge ideas from a different timeline and how to make things fit. It added weight and "reality" to Kelvin timeline. Bravo.

[@jaspr1999]

What an amazing Vengence model!!! Just WOW! I really enjoyed the story you put together from the piecemeal fragments of the lore. The only thing I wonder about is mothballing the Vengence program. The one sad truth about governments is that once a tech exists, no matter the ethics behind it, a government will capitalize and build on it to give them any advantage over potential adversaries. The Federation/Klingon cold war during Kirks' time is just one example.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

I know right? :) And to answer your question about the Mothballing, well there will be a future video that will answer ALL those questions ;) Remember, all I said was that the Vengeance Class was Mothballed ;)

My nickname for this bird is "the Galaxy Class from Hell"- granted that was before we got a view of the World Razer from Picard lol (great ship design, terrible name) I'm a fan of the unique saucer; with some modification you could really add in some interior facing shuttle/fighter bays a la the Lucrehulk from Star Wars

[@Jules_Diplopia]

Fascinating. Thank you for all that background info. Trusting Khan to design a ship for you always seemed far too risky. But the core idea of Khan that a Starship should have a much smaller crew, especially in times of war, is sound. I am sure that the "sentient" ship AI will return, if not in a Vengeance class then in another class of ship. I look forward to your future stories of the success or failure of the Vengeance class successors.

the Vengence is starfleets version of the Scimitar from nemesis.

[@davebignell773]

Very impressive video, and the weaving together of the characters and events from different eras is very clever. Unfortunately this ship has always been an issue for me. In The Wrath of Khan the USS Reliant was a more modern cruiser, roughly equivalent to the refit USS Enterprise. Reliant gained an advantage through an almost perfect ambush, but when it came to the second fight in the Mutara Nebula the 2 ships were very evenly matched, with Kirk and his command teams experience at space warfare eventually proving decisive against the inexperience of Khan and his crew. But all the way through, Reliant always felt like she was a match for Enterprise - in almost every exchange of fire, the Enterprise took more punishment and casualties (the image of the Enterpise's port torpedo bay being engulfed in flames from the Reliant's phaser hits and the crew members caught in the inferno is still haunting). And then the "not a remake" Into Darkness came along, and pitted its version of the Enterprise against a massively overgunned and overpowered superdreadnought with an edgy name... With the obvious and completely predictable result - because plot.

Am I crazy or is there a missing video about the ATLAS class? I swear to god I watched this video, I even remember things like "They sold the Vulcan moon on expectations" and that the ship had two reactors and in the end it was a failure. But I can't find this video anywhere, did it exist or did I cross some form of portal to an alternate reality where it doesn't exist? @V@ 2:20 this is a deleted scene?

The whole “not being able to attack another ship at warp” makes perfect sense, it also go against every episode of Trek with space battles.

I know I'm a year late but I loved hearing this story. I agree with firebirdone03 that it was cool to hear Lorca be the one to find Khan. I liked seeing the Enterprise-A at the end of the video. I have a 3D printed model of the Enterprise-A from Star Trek Beyond. It's definitely a better design compared to her predecessor.

This explanation makes Kahn look alittle understandable in his actions! Kahn was used and betrayed aswell as threatened,hunted..pushed into insanity

[@scottyb68]

You did good. But this goes to show all the complications of a prime, alternate and stupid (Discovery premise) timelines. It's also why I have come to hate time travel episodes because it makes it all the more murky. But you did a very good job of making it make better sense. Again I say you should be in the writing dream team for ST.

[@senatuspopulusqueromanus2082]

The look swap for Khan sounded least plausible

[@axelhopfinger533]

I will never understand why a ship designer would put a massive structural weakness in form of a giant hole right in the middle of the saucer section, where its core systems would be the safest, presenting the enemy with that much more surface area to attack. Also, why does a ship with such a minimized crew need so many windows everywhere still, all structural weaknesses? And that on a designated DREADNOUGHT cruiser, whose purpose is to be as rugged, tough and survivable as possible. A clear case of looks before sense and function.

[@primetime8717]

Why didn't Starfleet use any of this technology or rebuild this ship? This would had giving them a huge advantage.

[@AtomicNuke-gn3qm]

It was named the Vengeance Class? I thought it was just classified as an Intel Dreadnought from the Kelvin Timeline.

No it isnt... As although the ship exists, the events are completely different in the Kelvin Timeline, just like the events of the Enterprise and Kirk etc were different! And of course Marcus also exists in the Prime Timeline as Carol Marcus (From The Wrath Of Khan) had to have a father...

I still think it's stupid that Starfleet didn't use Vengeance's phaser weapons or warp drive in the their newer ships or the Enterprise at the end of Into Darkness because those phaser weapons could really come in handy against stronger enemies and the Venegance's warp drive could get other ships from one place to another much faster.

In Beyond we don't have any knowledge of the relative speed of the rebuilt Kelvin Enterprise relative to the pre-Darkness Enterprise. Note that the enemy in Beyond uses a very different tactic to attack the Enterprise and therefore Vengence-tech ships may have still been inadequate.

Discovery is not part of the Kelvin timeline. Vulcan still exists and becomes N'var in Discovery. We know what sadly became of Vulcan in the Kelvin timeline It's a cool concept and I normally don't disagree with you but since I'm biased towards the Kelvin timeline, it doesn't gel. Apologies.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

You cant actually say "Discovery is not part" of anything... And chances are youd be wrong anyhow as it is a different but close congruent Universe! And since this is a different timeline with a different Discovery, saying things dont gel makes no sense... It almost actually sounds like you didnt listen to my intro into the video and assumed I was saying DSC is not Prime Timeline, which is not the case at all... So although I respect your opinion, I disagree and am glad everyone else sees and loves it!
