Point #1 – In the movie Flight of the Navigator there exists a planet called Phaelon which is 560 light years away. The Trimaxion Drone Ship is able to traverse that distance in roughly 2.2 Earth hours. To put that into perspective the ship is able to travel 4.25 light years in 1 minute. That is the distance from here to Alpha/Proxima Centauri our nearest solar neighbor. I am unsure if any warp capable star ship in Star Trek is able to travel that fast.
Theory #1 – This theory may seem grim but bear with me. I theorize that the race who built the Trimaxion Drone Ship and who lived on the planed Phaelon were a very scientifically advanced and a peaceable race. Centuries ago, they were wiped out by a race similar to the Harvesters from Independance Day because they were unable to fight due to their pacifistic nature. All that remained was their cold dead homeworld and a few drone ships. Because the drone ship's primary purpose was to seek out and study life from other planets their main goal was to find a race intelligent and physically strong enough to take back to their homeworld and to repopulate the planet. The race had to possess high enough intelligence to understand and use their technology.
Theory #2 – I think the shape of the ship is roughly the shape and structure to the aliens' brains that originally build the ship. They evolved past the primitive animalistic structures that us humans still possess.
These are my theories, what are yours?
