Heard over subspace channel six from Owen E. Oulton:
  [> Owen E. Oulton [> BZZZZZZT!  Sorry, Ed, but thanks for
  [> playing!  Here's the lovely Zorchelle to show you what we
  [> have for you as a consolation prize!  A copy of our Wheel
  [> Of Torture home game, complete with Agoniser Booth!  A
  [> case of Klingon Ridge Wax! A year's supply of qagh-A-Roni,
  [> the Qo'noS Treat!
  [> 
  [> Rachel Garrett was, in fact, the third.  The first
  [> on-screen appearance of a female Federation Starship
  [> Captain was the CO of the USS Saratoga in Star Trek IV:
  [> The Voyage Home.  The second was Capt. Tryla Scott, the
  [> youngest Starfleet Captain ever, in TNG's first season
  [> episode Conspiracy.  Capt. Pillipa Louvois, who appeared
  [> in the 2nd season episode The Measure Of A Man was a JAG
  [> officer, not a Starship commander, so she doesn't count.
     I typed a little too fast and left out "of the Enterprise" after "center 
seat" in my message; you have to admit that Capt. Garrett was the first woman 
assigned to the post [that we know of].
