Quizzle: What was the number designation of Voyager?
Well, there were Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 from NASA.
Or the Intrepid class starship from Star Trek, designation # NCC 74656
and no, I didn't look it up on the internets.
I don't think Vyger(ST:MP) had a number designation to it though. Good on ya not using the intertubez, they eat brains
blue screen "shudders"
