Changes: DY-500

Revision as of 10:32, 13 July 2007

The DY-500 was a class of early Earth space vehicles.

The DY-500 was based on the earlier DY-100 spacecraft of the late 1990s. The DY-500 and DY-100 were similar enough in appearance that even experienced Starfleet officers were unable to tell the difference between such ships from a distance. For example, upon first encountering the SS Botany Bay, Captain James T. Kirk initally believed the ship to be a DY-500, it was Spock who correctly identified the ship as an older DY-100 type vessel. (TOS episode: "Space Seed").

 The '''DY-500''' was a class of early [[Earth]] space vehicles.
 The DY-500 was based on the earlier [[DY-100]] spacecraft of the late [[1990s]].  The DY-500 and DY-100 were similar enough in appearance that even experienced [[Starfleet]] officers were unable to tell the difference between such ships from a distance.  For example, upon first encountering the [[SS Botany Bay|SS ''Botany Bay'']], [[Captain]] [[James T. Kirk]] initally believed the ship to be a DY-500, it was [[Spock]] who correctly identified the ship as an older DY-100 type vessel.  (''[[TOS]]'' [[episode]]: "[[Space Seed]]").
