Talk:Vetar

Speculation

• The Vetar may have been the Cardassian cruiser brought into the Delta Quadrant by the Caretaker prior to the USS Voyager's arrival, mentioned in "The Voyager Conspiracy". That ship was later returned to the Alpha Quadrant.

What is the basis of this speculation? Why this ship, and not some random other Cardassian vessel? --OuroborosCobra ^talk 01:02, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

No justification, away it goes. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 20:57, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Dvp7 just re-added this

• It was revealed in VOY: "The Voyager Conspiracy" that a Cardassian ship entered the Delta Quadrant at roughly the same time as Voyager, however it isn't said if it was this particular ship, although it most likely was.

Now, I honestly don't think we can take Seven's word for it that the ship was there. She was sort of gorked out, remember. Also, I don't think the ship she showed Chakotay was the same one. I'm'a delete it - again. --TribbleFurSuit 02:37, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Pna-inaccurate, reference in "The Voyager Conspiracy"

There isn't clear evidence or dialogue to establish that the Vetar was the same ship Seven found in "The Voyager Conspiracy" (nor the Vetar the same ship as in "Caretaker" for that matter). Exact dialogue is as follows:

"I've analyzed the hull geometry and warp signature. It was one of the same ships that were pursuing Chakotay and his crew in the region known as the Badlands."

Emphasis on plural ships.

Furthermore Seven states:

I believe that for some unknown reason the Caretaker had sent this ship back to the Alpha Quadrant and that Commander Chakotay attacked the vessel before it could reach its destination. He downloaded its computer core and discovered the presence of the Caretaker's array. He realized that the array could be used by the Maquis as a weapon, to launch surprise attacks against Cardassian and Starfleet vessels.

Since Chakotay's ship was pulled into the Delta Quadrant immediately following the battle with the Vetar, this would have meant that the Vetar was taken to the Delta Quadrant before "Caretaker," returned, then went on to fight Chakotay, at least according to Seven's timeline.

Per the discussion above from over a decade ago, Seven's analysis of the situation was quite unreliable. Clearly there was a Cardassian ship brought into the Delta Quadrant but suggesting that it was the Vetar is no more than speculation. -- Roscoe3400^{( TALK )} 06:55, December 28, 2019 (UTC)
