I just watched First contact again, and the only ships mentioned by name in the battle were the Defiant, the Bozeman, and the Lexington. There is a ship that looks like the picture flying across the screen just as the Borg cube blows up, I guess that's the Thunderchild.

In the novel "The War of the Worlds", the Thunderchild managed to bring down TWO of the Martian machines, before...er...she was obliterated by the heat ray. That's cool!

The USS Thunderchild is of course but one of many Akira class starships, she was designed with the borg in mind as a Heavy Cruiser chasis and features an impressive torpedo compliment, usually quantums and high power phasers. Plus the shields are not much lower than a soverigns in overall power. Somewhat like the defiant the Akira is a tad overloaded, but regardless a kick *** ship that you DO NOT wan't to mess with
What I find interesting is the Akira is larger than an intrepid yet can almost keep pace with the Defiant. Thats some kick *** engines

Never heard of the ship Atoz? Seeing as I have, that means it has more frequently appeared in trek games I've played. I mean, considering you watch the show way more than me, that's the only way I can think of That is weird. Do you mean online games or computer games? I've never played any of those. If it appeared in the movie "First Contact", it certainly was NOT identified as such, or I would have remembered it. According to Baggy's link, it also appeared in battle scenes on Deep Space Nine and Voyager. As I remember, I lost interest in DS9 and stopped watching it before the Dominion War started. After that, I watched an episode every now and then. I must have just missed the ones with battle scenes. Same goes for Voyager. Since the ship was stranded in the Delta Quadrant, if any episodes featured other Starfleet vessels, I must have missed them, too! It was on the voyager episode with the Doctor going over to the Prometheus class! www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGH9Q_6JX_c

Akira class...Didn't know that
About the anime Akira... It's one of the few animes I really like. Worth watching. Princess Mononoke is fine too
