Yes, the XCV-330 was an early Matt Jeffries concept for the Enterprise back in 1964. That’s why it turned up in TMP as a painting.

Isn’t that the Janeway?

I try to always say, “I don’t know what it is, but it’s weird and pissed off,” when people ask me to identify something.

You may be thinking of Ch’Pok, the Klingon advocate from DS9: “Rules of Engagement”, where they were trying to extradite Worf on the grounds that he had destroyed a civilian transport.

CH’POK: I look forward to fighting on your terms.

SISKO: This is not a fight. It’s the search for the truth.

CH’POK: The truth must be won. I’ll see you on the battlefield.

And later:

CH’POK: What matters to me is the thrill of the fight, not which side I’m on. And I think we both know the extradition fight is over.
