Thanks Fantasy Flight for the Star Trek easter egg in the recent expansion

By Neos472, in Star Wars: Imperial Assault

when i looked at the new expansion seeing CT-1701 made me smile a bit kudos for sneaking in that little easter egg :)

Good catch. That can't be a coincidence. Although whoever came up with that number might have been able to "sneak" it past the QA people.

It seems like some other numbers would have been more appropriate:

1138 - cell block, among other things
327 - docking bay and landing platform
3270 - odds of successfully navigating an asteroid field
TK-421 - some trooper
2187 - Leia's cell block

But I approve of this Star Trek nod. Lets home that unit has some special action that is also a ST easter egg (2xp-1strain-Make it so-Pick an enemy trooper within 3 spaces. That trooper must skip its next turn).

Or are you asking for the reference to star trek? 1701 is the designation of the Enterprise.

I think the clone's operating number should've been 1142-EMA.

How about B-263-54?

Huh, that's a neat Easter Egg.

Federation Assault confirmed.

I think the reference is nebulous at best, the designation of the Enterprise is NCC 1701 (A, B, C, D)
