The USS Crazy Horse holds an NCC number of 4681.  Its crew is charged
with the newest prototypes off the Starfleet drawing board for
experimental and shake-down purposes.  At present, Moira^2, the AI
second officer assures us that the USS Crazy Horse 4681-S is nearing the
end of her evaluation cruise, and only paperwork will delay approval as
a ship of the line.
Expectations are that the "T" will be ready for the crew Real Soon Now.

 Thanks for reminding me!  I think it was one of the first
 instances when he was less than coy about his former role.
 After a while he seemed to change toward an attitude of "oh,
 heck, the cat's out of the bag, so why deny it?"
 I was somewhat disappointed that Garak's role wasn't explored
 more in the Occupation Arc.  To me, he seemed in a position to
 become a turncoat or at least be tempted to betray his Starfleet
 pals in order to reinstance himself as a good Cardassian.

of Gene Roddenberry.  From time to time Questor, Genesis II, and Spectre
come up in this echo, and it has never caused a problem.  Extending this
logic, I would conclude that occasional comments about Earth: Final
Conflict are reasonable.
Earth: Final Conflict does *not* have equal topic standing with Star
Trek, in my opinion.  The best way to discuss E:FC would be in the
context of comparing and contrasting it with the themes and story
elements Roddenberry used in TOS and TNG.
