[edit] Merge

If noone objects to this in the next few days, I'll go ahead and merge Picard maneuver here, because I think it's too small a piece of trivia to stand on its own. Comments, flames, etc welcome. --Sam Pointon United FC 23:49, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] First Contact

In the article intro it says the battle of maxia was the first contact between the human and ferengi races. However, there is an Enterprise episode where NX-01 is taken by ferengi, making that the first contact. Was it explicitly said in ST-TNG that the battle of maxia was the first contact or is the info on the article mistaken?

I'm no expert but in my experience, the writers of Enterprise rode roughshod over established cannon points quite often. Prime examples are The Borg appearing on Earth frozen in ice long before Picard met them in "TNG Q-Who?" (previously, and logically, advertised as first contact), and a Klingon being shot on Earth about 100 years prior to the date given in TOS for First Contact with them. I wouldn't be surprised if they drove a coach and horses through this piece of continuity as well. Personally, where there's a conflict between Enterprise canon and other canon, I go in favour of the other canon - but that's mainly because I'm not a fan of Enterprise than for any more scientifically rigourous reason.

There's only one Trek canon, and in that canon Ferengis met Humans (the Federation) on board the NX-01 before the battle of Maxia, therefore the article should be changed to reflect that Alastairward 16:53, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
