| − | During early [[World War II]], the designation "PQ" (later "JW") described a route from [[England]] to [[Russia]], whereas "QP" described a route from Russia to England. "PQ-1" was a designator of the first Allied convoy from England to Murmansk, which sailed during September 1941. Noting the similarities in terminology, this might suggest that the "convoy PQ-1" here describes the route between one system in the Federation ([[Bajoran system]], perhaps) and the Vegan system. |
