Questions for fanfic

[Alien-Carrot]

I'm going to be writing a SW/ST crossover, and i need two pieces of information for the first chapter.

Will a standard imperial shuttle fit in the Enterprise E's shuttlebay.

And what was the name of the lead scientist at the Maw cluster. (not Qui Xux)

I can't seem to find any information on the Maw Instalation personell except for Daala and Xux. And no site anywhere seems to have a size chart for Star Trek shuttlebays.

Will a standard imperial shuttle fit in the Enterprise E's shuttlebay.

Almost certainly not, it's perhaps an order of magnitude larger.

And what was the name of the lead scientist at the Maw cluster. (not Qui Xux)

Bevel Lemelisk (sp?) was the lead engineer on the Death Star project. He was executed for the whole 'exhaust port' debacle, though.

[lord Martiya]

Bevel Lemelisk (sp?) was the lead engineer on the Death Star project. He was executed for the whole 'exhaust port' debacle, though.

I remember that Bevel Lemelisk was too intelligent to dispose permanently of him and that Palpatine forced his soul in a cloned body after that error.

[NecronLord]

To be specific, he was excecuted and revived by Palpatine in his life-transfer experiments.

Repeatedly.

He was "What the hell is an Aluminum Falcon?" pissed off...

[The Romulan Republic]

Was not Lemelisk ultimately executed by the Rebellion for war crimes?

[NecronLord]

I seem to recall that his last words were recorded as "Just get it right this time."

[The Romulan Republic]

Pretty much, yeah. That's what I was talking about. Not sure where that appears in the EU, though.

On topic though, Lemelisk may have been the head scientist at the Maw Instillation at one time, but not at the time it was introduced into the EU. I vaugely recall that the head guy was a Twielik (spelling?) and that his name began with the letter T, but I wouldn't want to bet on anything more detailed than that.

this has the specs for trek shuttles not sure how accurate they are but should give a good idea on the size of a shuttle bay. and below is the imperial Lambda....

http://www.starwars.com/databank/starsh ... index.html

as you will no doubt notice the Lambda actually has twice the length of the type 9 shuttle which I'm guessing is what equips the Ent-E.

You could just put a hole in a cargo bay??

Seven times, to be precise.

As I recall it, though, it was hardly experimental; that would not have made sense in any case, using a key scientist for such things. He was just being a sheer fucking sadist.

I am, however, amazed that Lemelisk could continue to be an "absentminded professor" after several torturous executions. Were I him, I would be a wreck and devote every minute of my life to worrying that I might fail at anything, prompting further executions. I suppose it is a testament to his character (or stupid KJA writing ) that he suffered so little overt effect from his torture.

I seem to recall that his last words were recorded as "Just get it right this time."

Well, to be pedantic that was what he said when captured and briefed on the possibility that he might face execution, long before any trial or verdict.

Pretty much, yeah. That's what I was talking about. Not sure where that appears in the EU, though.

The only novel he appears in (that I am aware of) is Darksaber; his subsequent fate is related in sourcebooks.

As for the Maw chief scientist, I believe you mean Tol Sivron, perhaps the one KJA villain to make Daala look competent.

[Lord Revan]

at about 30 meters or so (30-50m IIRC) I dout Lamda is too long, it is how ever probably too tall even in docked mode to fit E-E docking bays (but then the Empire/republic does have other shuttle designs that might fit).

[Ryan Thunder]

Yeah, what about one of those DX-series stormtrooper boarding craft?

[Alien-Carrot]

Thank you Hoth, Tol was the name i was looking for.

As for the shutlebay topic, i was pretty sure it wouldnt fit, but wanted to be sure befor having Vader fly over in his TIE.

[The Romulan Republic]

Isn't their a Tie shuttle? Would that fit?

[Ryan Thunder]

Isn't their a Tie shuttle? Would that fit?

Indeed, there is, based on the TIE bomber chassis.

[The Romulan Republic]

Wookiepedia has its length at 7.8 meters. But it looks wider than it is long. Perhaps it would be fit, though.

[Lord Revan]

I seem to recall that at least the Galaxy class could carry several runbouts and there's ofc that shuttle from nemesis so it's pretty obvious type-9s don't repesent the max size of ship capable of fitting into the Enterprise shuttle bays, also E-E seemed to have used the ones marked type-11s in that website (the ones designed for the movie Inserection) then type-9s

that said though, like I said before I think the large dorsal wing would make the lamda too tall to fit.

[charlemagne]

and there's ofc that shuttle from nemesis

Wasn't that the Captain's yacht, and isn't the yacht not stored in the shuttle bay, but docked to the bottom side of the saucer? Or was that just Intrepid-class design?

I thought the Intrepid only carried two dinky little shuttles ?

[charlemagne]

Yeah, apparently Voyager wasn't equipped with the Captain's yacht, but it's on every bluescreen of the Intrepid class. They just forgot about it during the series.

[Bounty]

No. Insurrection showed the yacht (docked on the underside) and a new shuttle design (parked in the shuttlebay, and sitting somewhere between a Type-7 and a Runabout size-wise).

Nemesis then added the Argo shuttle, which is a flying cargo hold with a cockpit and wings strapped on, launching from the shuttlebay.

They carried however damn many the writers felt like that week. More were blown up each season than most ships carried total.

[charlemagne]

Ok, that shuttle was what I meant, and I stand corrected.

nah we see the Enterprise yacth is Inserection and Argo isn't the same ship (besides we see the Argo Launch in Nemesis and it leaves the saucer shuttle bay, there's even a visible shield ripple)

[Darth Paxis]

I could be wrong about this but wasn't Sivron more on the administrator side of the Maw installation.

Also wasn't Umak Leth involved with the Maw installation

About a million shuttles, and a "waverider", whatever that means. Basically a poor man's Captain's Yacht. They never used it, but were apparently considering doing so in S5, when they decided on introducing the Delta Flyer instead.

Wasn't the official cover-story that they didn't get around to install the yacht on Voyager, so what looked like the yacht was only a "lid" for what otherwise would be a hole in the ship?

Also, I think that going "oh btw we'll build us a new super-duper shuttle" is still better than "oh btw we have this yacht here we totally forgot about the last couple of years"
