Talk:IKS Bortas (Vor'cha class)

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

[edit] "IKS Patakt"

This name was never mentioned on screen or otherwise, what is the source for this article? Gvsualan

The episode script. --James Cody 11:39, 17 Dec 2004 (CET)

Yes, however, in the episode it was changed to Bortas, which should negate what the script says. If not, could the policy on accepting what the script says versus what airs be clarified a little better? --Gvsualan 21:54, 17 Dec 2004 (CET)

Are you sure? The Bortas was a Vor'cha class cruiser but the two vessels escorting the Enterprise-D were Bird-of-Preys.--James Cody 23:25, 17 Dec 2004 (CET)

The reference to the named Klingon ship was long before they entered the Neutral Zone and before we saw the BoPs. I saw no implication that any of those ships were intended to be the Bortas, it was more so indicated that this whole "surprise" was arranged with whomever aboard the Bortas, which in turn dispatched the BoPs. --Gvsualan 04:17, 18 Dec 2004 (CET)

While the IKS Bortas was depicted as a Vor'cha-class vessel in TNG: "Redemption", it was also used in dialogue in reference to one of the Klingon birds-of-prey seen in TNG: "The Defector". Obviously these must be two different ships we are talking about. And yes, since the name was changed, I think this article should be deleted. -- Captain Mike K. Bartel
