Thanks.
I was racking my brain for something funny to say that NCC stood for and then in frustration I thought of mixing Star Wars and Star Trek characters.
Later I thought NCC could stand for "No Campy Canadians" but William Shatner IS campy.
By then, I felt this thread was getting old and I would be artificially keeping it alive by making a second comment. But I guess I have right now.

According to The Star Trek Encyclopedia, the registry number "NCC-1701"
...was devised by Matt Jefferies, art director of the first Star Trek series. Jefferies, who is a pilot, based NCC on 20th century aircraft registration codes. In such 20th century usage, an "N" first letter refers to an aircraft registered in the USA. ...[text shortened]... raft. Jefferies added a second "C", just because he thought it looked better."[1]
