Additional Information


Gemenon Liner 1701 is one of the first ships to join a convoy of stranded ships growing around Colonial One in the midst of the Fall of the Twelve Colonies. Its name is given in dialogue by the captain of Colonial One as he greets it (Miniseries).

Notes[edit]

During an exterior shot just prior to this scene, Colonial One, a Gemenon Traveler/Kimba Huta type ship, and a Flattop/Virgon Express type ship can be seen approaching a red Luxury liner, engaged in a clockwise spin. The captain of Colonial One announces that they will be approaching the liner's starboard docking hatch, which matches the physical arrangement of the ships in the external shot.

"Gemon Liners"

The CGI model of this ship, made available on Gabriel Köerner's website, identifies an intersun liner in similar red livery as "Gemon Liners". The spelling discrepancy is interesting, but as the name cannot be resolved on-screen, it probably isn't worth pursuing.

The number '1701' is an in-joke to the registry numbers of the various starships Enterprise featured in Star Trek and Star Trek: The Next Generation. Ron D. Moore was a long-time writer for these sequels of the original Star Trek series.
