Yeah, that what I thought it was when I saw the thumbnail

[@michaeldayman682]

Or a Shadow vessel - also B5.

[@PatriciaCross]

When the Titan scans the Shrike, it identifies it as multiple ships from multiple factions. I think it is made from parts from multiple ships and that actually is a Galaxy class deflector dish and secondary hull.

[@Jayjay-qe6um]

"...that's not a ship, it's a guillotine." Love that quote.

[@SBrown7525]

I thought the Shrike looked Carrdassian and Dominion mix, but now I see design elements from all the Dominion's allies.

[@JaredLS10]

Honestly makes sense, at one point in the war the Dominion wanted to pull back to the border and rebuild its forces so creating a whole new ship design to better deal with Federation Alliance ships even if it takes a few years is right up the Dominions alley, The Dominion thinks years ahead and the Shrike could have easily been in development during the war.

[@StillSaber]

Maybe the Shrike was a Top Secret Prototype ship that the Dominion was in the process of constructing that combined the Technologies of their allies, but never finished and the Prototype was just sitting there at the Top Secret Dominion Shipyard that was building this thing and Vadek being a Founder had previ. to this knowledge of this Top Secret Shipyard and went to call upon this deadly ship.

[@SBrown7525]

[@Brockyman]

[@jasonavery8247]

You don't see any other rooms because they're all packed full of those torpedoes.

[@jeffbudd7678]

I always felt the Shrike was Reman in its design elements. Has a similar spread wing appearance to the Scimitar and would have been psychologically damaging to Picard for not only his unwilling role the incident with Shinzon but also the loss of Romulus and Remus when their sun went supernova. Rikers line about the Shrike being a guillotine mirrors Picards line about the Scimitar being a predator ad well. Meanwhile the inclusion of Dominion displays and weapons of the Dominion allies still fits the fact that the technology was procured via Dominion allies.

[@vertigo2894]

How was this ship even built and by whom? How did they have the resources and facilities?

[@robcarley7506]

Got a theoretical idea for a video, Shrike Vs Scimitar. Both antagonist ships had the protagonists where they could have blown them away but didn't. These ships are superior to the Sovereign or Neo Constitution. What if these ships went head to head. Both ships not holding punches and full on everything they have trying to destroy each other. Who would more than likely be the victor on a level, open space no advantage playing field. Advantage not present being e.g. planets, asteroids, interfering ships to be thrown around. Just like two ships on the line battling it out to final victory.

[@RyanRead]

The Shrike had a lot of nods to Jem’Hadar bug design and Cardassian color schemes.

[@kewlztertc5386]

There's an error in this. Part of the experiments on the Changelings included nanites acquired from Picard body (also at Daystrum). This is how they escaped, with the help of the Borg queen. It's also what gave her power over them. That's the point of using the hand to communicate.

[@Anthony53106]

That one looks Vorlon from B5.

[@sim.frischh9781]

I think the oversized kitchen sink is what goes as a bed for shapeshifters...

[@Valor115B]

There was a Romulan fighter in the PS2 game "Star Trek: Shattered Universe" which featured a similar 4 wing forward prong design as seen on the Shrike in Picard. Funny enough, this fighter was also named "Shrike"

[@GrumpyMunkyGameDesign]

Shrike is also the name of a bird of prey, and an early Air to Surface missile, speaking to its predatory and first strike nature

[@EZ-D-FIANT]

Vadek was brilliant, I don't know the actresses name although I do recognise her but WOW didn't she do well, I loved everything about her, the ship, them being changelings, right up untill it was suddenly the borg that season was fire imo.....

I can see the Shrike having a dedication line "Mass destruction is my thing. Banzai!"

[@ChristopherSloane]

Again bad writing, The shrike was worthy of taking on two or more SF cruisers easily yet hardly does anything. The tired trope of SF ships being near useless and out gunned and using some sort of spacial mechanic to destroy, damage or escape the big bad.

[@gmradio2436]

That is basically writing. Set the protagonist on a weaker footing than the antagonist, and let them think their way out of the situation. If the protagonist is is the stronger of the two, the conflict is reduced.

[@EZ-D-FIANT]

What, the Riker manoeuvre, cmon give it its due it kicks the shizzle out of the Picard manoeuvre.....😅

[@ChristopherSloane]

@@gmradio2436 Right? It just seems stupid that the UFP or star Fleet which is supposed to be technologically superior in many ways but of course not perfect seems to fail at making decent ships. They know conflict is consistent yet fail to design a ship that is superior or cutting edge to engage said threats. There is no real excuse, there is a myriad of plants to mine for resources, the ship yards to build them and robotic construction methods as well. Not to mention brilliant minds abound with various technologies. What I want to see is a solid battle one where manuvering and a competent Captian uses the ship to win, not a always a crushing defeat but one where you feel the danger and the success of good decisions and tactical thinking.

[@foxdavion6865]

Well by the 25th century, the Dominion's stance on the federation is a tentative truce with Odo pushing them more towards a peaceful defensive form of xenophobia as opposed to their previous aggressive stance. The Dominion is still the Dominion, but they have more of a you keep to your side of the fence, I'll stay on mine approach to everyone around them. Which means Vadic would of been welcomed back with open arms but wouldn't of seen any open support by the Dominion, so Vadic wouldn't of found allies there, as was said in the video, it would of caused a schism, on one side you'd have Odo's faction and in the other Vadic's faction and since Changelings NEVER harm other Changelings and the Dominion slave races are loyal to only the Founders; Vadic would of found little more than a few other Changlings support and the approval to do as they wished by the Founders but no actual military support from the Founders. So instead Vadic stayed in the Alpha Quadrant and sort out a ship which was likely secretly built by the Dominion near the end of the war using parts and components cobbled together from allies and salvaged ships as likely a last bid attempt to win the war when they were cut off from the Gamma Quadrant; The Shrike fits that MO, a secret war winning super weapon that was never deployed in time due to the sudden unexpected Cardassian rebellion. It was likely constructed by the Son'a and the Breen.

[@davidcanoy8579]

Star Trek: Shattered Universe on the original Xbox had a Romulan Shrike fighter, that actually shares some design elements.

[@shanenolan5625]

Species 8742 used an identical design in sto .

[@danom3572]

So glad you said that, great game....I can't believe most kids think it's too hard to play lol.

[@SWATOPR8R1]

Where do all these rogue factions in Star Trek always find a shipyard to build their new totally overpowered designs without anybody noticing it?

[@peterhans3791]

The ship itself was actually just a bunch of changling.

[@krzosu]

After the Scimitar in Nemesis this one here (shrike) is just a lazy way to introduce a threat.

[@DavidEvans_dle]

Just an over weaponized ship, still the portal weapon use was interested. But we wont see portal technology again - destine to be an unused forgettable writer trope.

[@zosowon]

i love how odo and that other baby changeling was found freely floating in space yet that picard one shattered instantly.

[@lezking5060]

I always assumed that the Shrike had been created by Section 31, using aspects of technology from various species/factions (including the Borg) - hence the different types of weapons. Its non-Starfleet/Federation design being a deliberate attempt to disguise who created it. I thought that the forward-swept "prongs" were part of the quantum tunnelling design... so maybe that technology was designed for this ship.

[@rickbindhamer9596]

Considering the devious (and somewhat immoral) schemes that Section 31 has pulled in the past, I think it entirely possible that the Shrike may have been a top secret experimental vessel that the Federation's supers-pies created. With technology and parts harvested from alien wreckage from the Dominion war and adapted into a ship that no one would ever mistake for a Starfleet vessel. This would likely have required Section 31 to find Dominion defectors to help design and build the Shrike. The prison breaking shape-shifters may have commandeered the Shrike in their escape.

[@mechfan01]

I think I heard Sam Jackson saying "Say "Prong" again... I dare you!"

[@dennisud]

When I first saw it it made me compare it to the Simitarn used in Star Trek: Nemesis! I'd love to see those 2 slug it out! They both look scary enough! Glad to hear you again Adam! Imagine in your head BOTH taking on a few IST 2's in another universe! 😉

[@keirfarnum6811]

“Scimitar.” Just FYI.

[@GojiraX]

The Strike reminds me of the Shadow ships from Babylon 5

[@killingragethrowback]

Trek's tech level is officially above Star Wars now. Star Wars has always been seen as the stronger tech since it had Star Destroyers, Death Stars and Hyperdrive, but Trek now has portal guns, not just Planet but System killers, and drives faster than Hyperdrive. And Star Destroyers are just big but everything it can do, a smaller ship can still do, and the Trek ships are just more mobile.

[@lindenh2014]

Which drives are faster than hyperdrive?

[@killingragethrowback]

[@andrewellis4446]

Need to do a video of the Shrike VS the Schmatar. I think that would be a potentially long drawn out battle.

[@MrRich2u]

Yeah, looks like a Vorlon dreadnought..

[@berthulf]

that central pronged section on the main hull, with the curving insert chamfered to a sharp edge looks reminiscent of a Ferengi marauder's forward section, but taken to an extreme, and the hull and glow colours are also very Ferengi. It feels entirely suitable to me that Ferengi engineers may have been behind a ship built from the collective technologies of multiple species; especially those of Dominion and Dominion-allied forces.

[@Wildcard120]

Well done Commander. Thanks for filling in the gaps.

[@a-blivvy-yus]

When you say "not that one" about Michael Myers, I'm unsure if you're saying it wasn't Wayne from Wayne's World, or that it wasn't the hero of the Halloween movie franchise... Whichever way around you meant that to be taken... is it the other one?

[@xedanis101]

Yes. 😂

[@kwisatz_haderach1445]

I have always thought the Sona ships were the most artistic and best looking of all the ships of the franchise. Just personal aesthetics. Still that crescent ship is impressive.

[@thesilentjediknight]

The shrike remind me of an oversized and beefed up version of a Droid starlight from star wars

[@thesilentjediknight]

Meant to say Droid starfighter stupid spellcheck

[@DavidEvans_dle]

Would be cool to see this type of design again - adopted by Star Fleet.

[@Carnutzjoe]

All they had to do was send a temporal agent back to 2375 and stop Luther Sloan from visiting DS9 so Julian doesn’t get the cure! That would have ended the changelings forever. (Poor Odo! But hey, the needs of the many…) After visiting the 21st century in Picard S2 they could’ve stopped by on their way home.

[@nicholasklangos9704]

Picard S3 is a convoluted mess of over complicated plot PRONGS... won’t watch it for the nightmares of face palming it creates...

[@ralphsexton8531]

@Brockyman - I was thinking the Narada and/or Breen ships. But if we're going with B5, I would say more Shadow than Vorlon, or maybe a mix? Shadow shape, Vorlon skin?

[@timothyhenegar7484]

The major issue I have about the Shrike is that it's the same old cliched villainous SHIP! It's the Scimitar, nope it's the Narada, nope IT'S THE SAME DAMN THING! Big ship/multiple big weapons systems/ dark emo gothical/ oh look multi pronged multi winged/ IT'S THE SAME PLOT DEVICE SHIP, WHO...GIVES...A 💩! At least the OG writers for Star Trek TOS and TNG could come up with better ideas than this Russel T Davis BS!

[@whiteboy60001]

The Shrike's hull does look like Sona ship material and somewhat shape. I believe they may have used structure from old Jem'Hadar ships like the cruiser for the fork piece in the center. However also looks like the deflector could be starfleet. And it has the openness of the wings almost like a D'Deridex and the size of the Schimitar. Like they took parts and ideas of old destroyed but formidable ships and made it into one big badass

[@JANEMBA9000]

They should have kept that sweet looking ship an use it as a battle cruiser .... Just upgrade it with some Borgue Tech .... It reminds me of a bit Shadow Ship from Babylon 5 a very Underrated Sci-Fy Show .....

[@cuddlepaws4423]

Finding out about its weapons specifications, made my husband and myself go WTF.... F*ck that! That is one nasty, nasty ship. As you said, it had it all, plus things not mentioned before. If it hadn't aligned with the Borg, what would it have done to them???? If I had been on a Federation ship and saw that thing coming, knowing what it was, I would have farted and followed through, then gone to full warp before my own ship managed to catch up with me.

[@joerussell9574]

Also why was Vadick so scared of the BQ? The Shrike was more than capable of wiping out wounded BQ and the Founders would never play second fiddle to anyone not even The Borg! This is dark dystopian Nu-Trek window dressed up to try and fix the two previous seasons! Much like Jar Jar Abrams did with Rise of Skywalker so poorly in the SW franchise....ughhh so sucky!

[@R2N81]

Shrike deserves more credit than Scimitar.She has every non-conventional weapon technology on her board;all in one ship and can't wait to get it from the event campaign in STO.

[@codyscorner2.082]

This is my Independence Class Starship Enterprise weapons and backstory -30 phaser banks - 4 Photon torpedo launchers (each carry 3,000 torpedoes) - 34 type 7a phaser turrets - 2 quantum torpedo launchers (each carry 500 torpedoes) - sybonnic torpedo launchers (each carry 60 torpedoes) - 2 positron cannons - 8 phaser emitters - Primary, secondary and third shields - Warp 60 cruise speed - Warp 120 max Speed - 2.5 Miles long - 0.75 miles width - Tactical Intergalactic explorer Like this because war with the galactic empire

[@DavidEvans_dle]

Like the design - just seems unbalance, why have photon torpedoes and quantum torpedoes?

[@mephistoxarses8585]

[@shawnbeckmann1847]

[@anthonystone2089]

Have you looked into the new shield affects it looks like a combination of shields ,polarizing the hull and ablative armor to dissipate the energy used against the ship.
