he Picard Maneuver is named after Captain Jean-Luc Picard, who devised it while he was in command of the U.S.S. Stargazer NCC-2893.
It was while crossing the Zeta Maxia star system in 2355 that the Stargazer was attacked without warning by a Ferengi Marauder vessel. In this combat situation Picard was present with a number of options; he could have launched a frontal attack, but this was risky since his ship was already badly damaged by his adversary's powerful plasma weapons. The alternative was to retreat, but Picard realized that the increased maneuverability afforded Constellation-class ships by their additional warp nacelles gave him a tactical advantage. The Stargazer's sensor scans also revealed a ***** in the enemy's armor; the Ferengi Marauder appeared no to have the ability to detect objects moving at faster-than-light speeds.
Multiplying ships
The Stargazer was positioned about nine million kilometers from the attacking vessel, and since light travels at roughly 300,000 kilometers per second, Picard calculated that it would take at least 30 seconds for the light generated by his ship to traverse the distance between them; the image seen aboard the Ferengi vessel was therefore always 30 seconds old. The Stargazer engaged its warp drive and accelerated faster than light, but because of the enemy's sensor deficiency they would not be able to see the Federation ship's moving for another 30 seconds. After 15 seconds the Stargazer had moved within firing range, and because of its proximity to the Ferengi Marauder the light from its current position reached the enemy while the light from its old position was still en route, and so to the Ferengi, it appeared to be in two places at once. In effect, the enemy vessel saw a second Stargazer appear, while the first seemed to remain in its original position.
The Ferengi Marauder never witnessed the warp jump of the Stargazer vessel as, less than 20 seconds into the maneuver, it was destroyed from point blank range by the Federation vessel. This tactic was so effective that it became required reading for students at Starfleet Academy.

I had a scare on my way over to Ikes. I was sitting at a red light waiting to turn right when CHP came up sunrise to my left. I saw a cameraman in the passenger seat and a woman in the back. They turn right on to the street I'm currently on and he immediately turns around and gets behind me.
I thought for sure he was going to get me for tint. Then we both turned on to sunrise - the direction he had previously been traveling, and he just went right by me. wtf
edit: the cameraman was from KCRA 3 so you might see me on the news tonight
