U.S.S. Reliant, NCC-1864 (command console prefix code 16309) The spoken stardates in the film span 8130.3 (Saavik making her log entry in the first scene) to 8141.6 (Kirk's entry near the end). I just love it when spoken words disagree with printed things; the novelization uses 8130.5 for the opening. Interesting that this is VERY nearly 5000 stardate after the original "Space Seed" episode was set. By contrast, "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" took place around stardate 7413, leading some to speculate that STII is about two solar years after STTMP. I don't know. Roger Noe
