Talk:Terra Nova

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

I'll put this question here, although the pages Deneb Kaitos v and Epsilon Bootis III are concerned as well: What about this conjectural information from the Star Trek: Star Charts? It is official, but not canon (which, at the moment, is a guideline here), and fact is: we don't know that Terra Nova orbits Eta Cassiopeiae from any of the series. I don't think this should be included at the moment... -- Cid Highwind 15:59, 3 Jan 2004 (PST)

I don't recall either Deneb Kaitos V or Epsilon Bootis being mentioned in the canon at all. If there had been a mention, I would support a page being there (though not necessarily the data from the Star Charts). As it stands, I agree with there being no need for their inclusion, as with the location of Terra Nova. -- DarkHorizon 16:11, 3 Jan 2004 (PST)
Epsilon Bootis is in fact also known as Izar, but although this might make sense, the connection was never made on-screen. The only thing we know about Treks Izar is that there's a Garth of... ;) -- Cid Highwind 16:32, 3 Jan 2004 (PST)
Agreed. Star Trek Star Charts is not canon. It may have some nice assumptions, and those might be referenced in Notes or Background information sections in articles, but not in the main body. Besides, there are also assumptions in the Charts that are just plain simply wrong or incomplete (like it's Federation members list). -- Harry 12:30, 4 Jan 2004 (PST)

[edit] Disambiguation

Would it make sense to move this page to Terra Nova (planet) and create a disambiguation page here? There is the Terra Nova (episode) and this page with content and at least Terra Nova (colony) page linked on the SS Conestoga page. Avron 14:28, 6 Jun 2004 (CEST)

[edit] pna-incomplete

Marked this one as a stub. There's a lot of history explained in the episode, and material enough to spawn a page on the Novans and their culture. I'll try to come back to it, but I won't complain if someone beats me to it. --Short Circuit 04:22, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Changed to PNA-incomplete, as it looks more then a stub with the pictures I added. :-) This page still deserves alot on the history though. -AJHalliwell 00:51, 8 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Expanded it some, but it still needs work. Off the top of my head, it needs more dates, better detail on surface conditions, a description of the planet's geology (continents and oceans, and which were affected by the meteor strike), and details of the meteor strike itself. --Short Circuit 21:20, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Inspired by Heavy Gear

This planet is definetly inspired by the planet Terra Nova in the role playing universe Heavy Gear. - Metnever 14:07, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] UESPA

When did it ever say anything about the United Earth Space Probe Agency in that episode, all it ever said was The Space Agency, so maybe that should have its own article. Plus the International Space Agency was another Space Agency why couldn't it have been that one.--UESPA 03:40, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] How many years?

The article says that landing at Terra Nova took place in 2078. "After five years, UESPA grew interested in repeating the experience. [...] By 2081, relations with Earth became severely strained". Five years after 2078 is 2083, not 2081. Also, why does it authoritatively say that UESPA was involved? -- Connor Cabal 18:40, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

The UESPA ref is indeed inapropriate. I've tried to correct this some time ago, but I seem to have forgotten one reference. It's fixed now. As for the "2081", my guess would be that someone substracted 70 years from 2151. Not that that offers much of a solution, there was one mention that noone heard of the colony in "over seventy years" so we know it has to be even before '81. :s -- Capricorn 00:12, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
