Posting in the new thread so others can see. >But what you just told me about that novel is heartwarming and I would enjoy knowing which one it was so I can acquire it. Certainly. It's The Light Fantastic. Though you'll be confused as to why Data is alive Post Nemesis if you don't read the Cold Equations trilogy, which are the Persistence of Memory, Silent Weapons and the Body Electric. All three do a really good job of explaining why Data came back, as well as why he's not with Starfleet any more. It also adds some pathos to Data's life involving a hard choice he has to make in the course of the series, which makes The Light Fantastic hit even harder.
my feels Having Data act like a doting father to Lal is one of the best things about the novel. Especially the lengths he goes to to get her back.

Isaiah Jones
goddamn what an uggo.

Is that a TNG-era Constellation class?
Isaac Flores
Yeah.
"Launched in the 2340's, the Niagara class was nothing more than thinly veiled dreadnought. With its distinct tri-nacelle configuration and sheer mass, she represented Starfleet's excess prevalent during the period. Conveniently classified as a "Long Range Explorer", her true function was to provide long range fire support for fleets. With high yield phaser banks and rapid fire torpedo launchers, they served with distinction during the Cardassian Border Wars.
Seen here is the USS Henrietta, a generation two Niagara with technologies trickled down from the Galaxy project. Her stocky spaceframe was further acerbated by the upgraded nacelles. Giving rise to many derogatory remarks from officers, with "Go Ugly Early" being the most prominent example."

It's a TNG Relaunch novel from 2014.

Nope, it's one of those really weird pre-Wolf 359 ships that the Feds made like one or two of and then got rid of them.
