More trivia I guess. Does anyone know the names of shuttle craft from Star Trek? The Galileo is probably the most famous.

The Galileo (NCC-1701/7) appears in many episodes of Star Trek, and is
certainly the most famous. (Note: if anyone is calling that shuttle 'the
Galileo Seven,' stop. That's the name of an episode, not the craft.)
I have heard that a shuttle called Columbus appeared in one episode. I
don't remember the occasion. If someone can substantiate this, please let
me know.
In the animated ST, there was a shuttlecraft called Copernicus. There was
also a special (unnamed) aquashuttle, capable of maneuvering underwater
and on an ocean surface, as well as in space.

Ah, now that this last bout of Rigellian kassaba fever is gone, I can get back to important things, like Star Trek trivia. The shuttle "Columbus" appeared in the same episode as "Galileo", namely "The Galileo Seven". It was used in the attempt to rescue the landing party and also to stall Commissioner Ferris. "Copernicus" appeared in the animated episode "The Slaver Weapon". The aquashuttle was used in the animated episode "The Ambergris Element". Also, I would confirm the articles posted by B.K. Cobb (ihuxs!okie) and Stewart Wiener (tilt!smw) with regard to the topic of "multiple Klingons". No named Klingon ever appeared more than once in the original Star Trek episodes, but there are three instances of named Klingons appearing in one of the original TV episodes and one or more animated episodes. Again, they are Koloth and Korax in "The Trouble with Tribbles" and "More Tribbles, More Troubles" and Kor in "Errand of Mercy" and "Time Trap". Kor was promoted from Commander to Captain between those two episodes. I do not know about the novels or comics, so I really can't comment on those. Thanks to Stewart Wiener for his excellent list of Klingons. By the way, in all of those three instances above, the person who did the voice of the character in the animated episode was not the same as the one who played the character in the original TV episode. The original questioner (uw-june!moriarty) is probably correct in speculating that someone has probably resurrected a Klingon somewhere along the line, but there are far greater discrepancies in the Star Trek universe when we include novels, short stories, and comics along with TV episodes and motion pictures. -- Roger Noe ihnp4!ihlts!rjnoe

[x] There is a shuttle named 'Columbus', it is used by Kirk to search a planet inside of some quasar (?). Close examination of the launch, however, shows it to have the same number as the Galileo (NCC 1701/7). The episode was called 'The Galileo Seven.'
