removing note[]

I am removing the following note:

Another Alternative is that in the context which it was discussed, the exact make and model was unknown to Commander Hudson, and he was comparing them to the output capacity of the phasers found on a Galor class warship.

It is very unlikely that Hudson, a starfleet/maquis officer working in the DMZ with/against Cardassians would not know standard Cardassian weapons terminology. Also, Sisko says the same thing in front of Gul Dukat while on the runabout, and Dukat does nothing to create him, and is equally surprised they were there. There is absolutely no way Gul Dukat would not know the proper terminology. --OuroborosCobra talk 06:09, 8 July 2006 (UTC) You seem to have missed the point of the comment. It clearly explains that the phaser banks may not be Galor Class in name, but Galor Class in comparison to the weapons found on the Galor Class vessels. It IS highly unlikely that Hudson would know what the Cardassian millitary classification is, and therefore would refer to it by comparison, rather then name. Do Cardassians know the phasers on a Galaxy class are Type 10? Or do they call them Galaxy-Class phasers? - 59.167.229.114 09:33, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I would expect a Cardassian Gul, like Dukat or Evek, to call them a type-10, not a Galaxy class. --OuroborosCobra talk 10:34, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
Unless we're going to go about doubting every mention of non-Federation classification, I think it's best removed. It takes longer to explain the context that may have occurred than to present the evidence for such. – AJHayson 23:47, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
