Appendices

Background information

The USS Magellan was named for Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan mentioned in ENT: "Horizon". (Star Trek Encyclopedia (4th ed., vol. 2, p. 10))

According to the Star Trek Encyclopedia (4th ed., vol. 2, p. 331), the Magellan was described as a Constellation-class star cruiser, with the registry number NCC-3069.

According to USS Enterprise Owners' Workshop Manual, the Magellan was a Galaxy-class sister ship of the USS Enterprise-D, with a registry of NCC-71820. Dialogue and footage in "Sacrifice of Angels" also supports this, as the USS Venture was previously established as a Galaxy-class ship:

Sisko: "Ensign, have Galaxy-wings 91 and 93 engage those destroyers. All other ships, head for that opening. Anyone who makes it through doesn't stop until they reach Deep Space 9."

The subsequent shot was of two Galaxy-class starships attacking a Cardassian destroyer at close range.

Elim Garak: "Congratulations, captain. You wanted them angry. They're angry."

Sisko: "The Magellan and the Venture are supposed to be protecting our starboard flank. They're in too tight..."

According to a PADD prop which was only seen from the back in Star Trek: Insurrection, titled Bartisi Social Protocol, the Magellan was the ship that had initiated contact with the Evora, in 2372, upon it being determined that the Evora homeworld was on the brink of warp capability. [1]

-According to the ''[[Star Trek Encyclopedia]]'' (2nd ed., p. 473), the ''Magellan'' was a {{ShipClass|Constellation}} [[star cruiser]], with a registry of NCC-3069. According to ''[[USS Enterprise Owners' Workshop Manual]]'', the ''Magellan'' was a {{ShipClass|Galaxy}} sister ship of the {{USS|Enterprise|NCC-1701-D|-D}}.

-Dialogue and footage in "Sacrifice of Angels" also suggests the ''Magellan'' was in fact a ''Galaxy''-class starship:

-The subsequent shot was of two ''Galaxy''-class ships attacking a [[Galor class|Cardassian destroyer]]. It suggests that the ''Magellan'' was a ''Galaxy''-class as the ''Venture'' has been previously established as one.

-It was however also possible that the ''Magellan'' was either an ''Excelsior-'' or ''Miranda''-class starship as prior to Garak's statement ships from these two [[starship classification|classes]] were holding to the starboard side of the ''Defiant'', with a {{ShipClass|Miranda}} ship holding close off the ''Defiant''{{'}}s starboard [[aft]] quarter.
