ost_uid0]TAS == The Animated Series, which was a bunch of TOS cartoons they made sometime WayBack and which some people don't quite consider canon, which beats me as to why.
Also-- I'm not too sure about the 16km length of the Sovereign class starship. It's 24 decks high, so that would make it about three-quarters of a kilometer high (taking the 1 deck == 3m estimation, which works for modern buildings, except in Singapore where they're closer to about 2.5 for the newer flats).
Looking at the CGI pictures of the E doesn't convince me that it's 22 times as long as it is high. I might give 12-14 km as its length, but 16 is stretching it a bit (pardon the pun).[/color
