Galaxy class

The culmination of an ambitious, 14-year design process, the Galaxy class represented Starfleet 's most sophisticated achievement in multimission ship systems design at the time of the commissioning of the lead vessel, the U.S.S. Galaxy NCC-70637 in 2357. When the Galaxy Class Starship Development Project was announced in July 2343, much of the original theoretical work had been accomplished, particularly in the propulsion field. While the attempt to surpass the primary warp field efficiency barrier with the Transwarp Development Project in the 2280s proved unsuccessful, the pioneering achievements in warp power generation and field coil design eventually led to the uprated Excelsior and Ambassador class starships. [2] Many of the new developments created for the Galaxy Class Development Project found their way into other ship classes that entered service before the Galaxy class itself joined the active ranks, such as the Nebula class . [9]

Some in Starfleet Command wanted the Galaxy class to serve first and foremost as a warship. A vocal member of that group was Admiral Carstairs , of the Starfleet Operations Planning Board, said that "what we need is something that will frighten our enemies away from [our] territory once and for all. The new Galaxy class is just such an instrument of deterrence." This view, however, was ably countered by the board's Commodore Santin , who responded to Carstairs that "converting this class into the ultimate battlewagon—as you have described it on more than one occasion—may well have an effect opposite the one you desire." [3]

Due in part to their size, Starfleet Command never intended to order a large number of Galaxy class vessels. [9] Starfleet Command initially ordered six Galaxy class ships. A projected total of twelve vessels were held as an option to be activated, should conditions warrant. Once the initial spaceframe design was finalized, it was decided to proceed with the completion of six vessels and to take the other six to the end of the framework stage only. These six spaceframes were broken down into manageable segments and dispersed by cargo carriers to remote sites within the Federation as a security measure. [2] Those projected emergency conditions came in the aftermath of the Battle of Wolf 359 , those six spaceframes were completed, and additional Galaxy class vessels were ordered. [9]

Pursuant to Starfleet Exploration Directive 902.3, the following objectives were established for the Galaxy Class Starship Development Project:

Provide a mobile platform for a wide range of ongoing scientific and cultural research projects;
Replace aging Ambassador and Oberth class starships as primary instruments of Starfleet's exploration programs;
Provide autonomous capability for full execution of Federation policy options in outlying areas;
Incorporate recent advancements in warp power-plant technology and improved science instrumentation. [2]

In 2369, the Galaxy class saw an Uprated refit, which added a third torpedo tube; this tube, located within the aft-facing cavity on the separated Saucer Module, gave additional firepower to the saucer during separated flight modes. Additionally, newer, more powerful deflector arrays were installed, further enhancing the defensive capabilities of the Galaxy class. [9] Resulting from the loss of several vessels, including the U.S.S. Yamato NCC-71807 , [10] this refit was meant to counter new, unforeseen threats, and to safeguard the crew. [9]

Galaxy class starships took part in a number of large-scale fleet actions during the Dominion War , and entire wings of these mammoth vessels engaged Dominion forces in battle at Vulcan , the Chin'toka system , and Earth . [9] During the war, a number of Galaxy class hulls were pulled from the internal structures work path, equipped with additional weapons, and launched with 65% of their spaceframe volumes empty. [1] Following the war's end, Starfleet Command halted production on the Galaxy class in favor of a return to more mission-specific designs like the Nebula, Nova , and Akira classes. [9]

Saucer Module Separation

Galaxy class saucer separation ( ST07 )

The Galaxy class consists of two spacecraft systems integrated to form a single, functional vessel. Under specific emergency conditions, the two vehicle elements may perform a separation maneuver and continue independent operation. The two elements, the Saucer Module and the Stardrive—or Battle—Section, were normally joined together by a series of eighteen structural docking latches, numerous umbilicals, and turbolift pass-throughs. Risks and vehicle stress associated with repeated undockings and redockings, however, prevented frequent use of the separation maneuver. In the event the Saucer Module was disabled near a planetary body and could not maintain a stable orbit, landing the saucer was the final option. [2]

Main Engineering

Galaxy class Main Engineering ( TNG 107 )

Galaxy class warp core ( TNG 106 )

The Main Engineering control center on Deck 36 served as a master control for the ship's warp propulsion system, as well as the impulse propulsion system and other engineering systems. Main Engineering also served as a backup control center in the event of failure of the Main Bridge and the Battle Bridge. Workstations at this location could be reconfigured to emulate Conn, Ops, Tactical, and other command operations. [2]

Star Trek is an American science fiction entertainment series. The original Star Trek is an American television series, created by Gene Roddenberry, which debuted in 1966

and ran for three seasons, following the interstellar adventures of Captain James T. Kirk and the crew of the Federation Starship Enterprise , following an earlier pilot film “The Cage,” which starred Jeffrey Hunter as Captain Christopher Pike. Following the release of other series in the franchise, the Kirk-headed series was retroactively referred to as " Star Trek: The Original Series ". These adventures were continued by the short-lived Star Trek: The Animated Series and six feature films. Four more television series were eventually produced, based in the same universe but following other characters: Star Trek: The Next Generation , following the crew of a new Starship Enterprise set almost a century after the original series; Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager , set contemporaneously with The Next Generation ; and Star Trek: Enterprise , set before the original series, in the early days of human interstellar travel. Four additional feature films were produced, following the crew of The Next Generation , and most recently a 2009 movie reboot of the franchise featuring a young crew of the original Enterprise set in an alternate time line.

The franchise also includes dozens of computer and video games, hundreds of novels, as well as a themed attraction in Las Vegas (closed in September 2008). Beginning with the original television series and continuing with the subsequent films and series, the franchise has created a cult phenomenon and has spawned many pop culture references.

Conception and setting [ ]

As early as 1960, Gene Roddenberry had drafted a proposal for the science fiction series which would become Star Trek . Although he publicly marketed it as a Western in outer space—a so-called "Wagon Train to the Stars"—he privately told friends that he was actually modeling it on Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels , intending each episode to act on two levels: as a suspenseful adventure story and as a morality tale.

Star Trek stories usually depict the adventures of humans and aliens who serve in the Federation's Starfleet. The protagonists are essentially altruists whose ideals are sometimes only imperfectly applied to the dilemmas presented in the series. The conflicts and political dimensions of Star Trek sometimes represent allegories for contemporary cultural realities: Star Trek: The Original Series addressed issues of the 1960s, just as later spin-offs have reflected issues of their respective decades. Issues depicted in the various series include war and peace, the value of personal loyalty, authoritarianism, imperialism, class warfare, economics, racism, religion, human rights, sexism and feminism, and the role of technology. Roddenberry stated: "[By creating] a new world with new rules, I could make statements about sex, religion, Vietnam, politics, and intercontinental missiles. Indeed, we did make them on Star Trek : we were sending messages and fortunately they all got by the network."

Roddenberry intended the show to have a highly progressive political agenda reflective of the emerging counter-culture of the youth movement, though he was not fully forthcoming to the networks about this. He wanted Star Trek to show mankind what it might develop into, if only it would learn from the lessons of the past, most specifically by ending violence. An extreme example are the Vulcans, who had a very violent past but learned to control their emotions. His efforts were somewhat thwarted by the network's concerns over marketability, e.g., they were opposed to Roddenberry's insistence on a racially diverse crew of the Enterprise .

Production history [ ]

Beginnings [ ]

In 1964 Roddenberry made a proposal for the original Star Trek TV series, to Desilu Studios as a " Wagon Train to the stars." The show's first pilot, "The Cage," starring Jeffrey Hunter as Enterprise Captain Christopher Pike, was rejected by the network; however, Desilu executives were still impressed with the concept and made the unusual decision to commission a second pilot: "Where No Man Has Gone Before".

The threat of cancellation loomed during the show's second season. The show's fanbase conducted an unprecedented letter-writing campaign, petitioning NBC to keep the show on the air. NBC renewed the show, but moved it from primetime to the "Friday night death slot", and substantially reduced its budget. Roddenberry reduced his direct involvement in Star Trek before the start of the season to protest the changed timeslot, and was replaced by Fred Freiberger.

The series was canceled in its third season, despite the protests of a renewed letter-writing campaign. Marketing personnel of the network complained to management that the series' cancellation was premature. New techniques for profiling demographics of the viewing audience later showed that Star Trek had been highly profitable for advertisers, though this news came too late to resume production of the series.

Rebirth [ ]

When the show was canceled, owner Paramount Studios hoped to recoup its production losses by selling the syndication rights to the show. The series went into reruns in the fall of 1969, and by the late 1970s had been sold in over 150 domestic and 60 international markets. The show developed a cult following, and rumors of reviving the franchise began.

The first new Star Trek was Star Trek: The Animated Series . The series was produced by Filmation in association with Paramount Television and ran for two seasons on Saturday mornings from 1973 to 1974 on NBC, airing a total of twenty-two half-hour episodes. Although short lived as typical for animated productions in that timeslot during the period, the series garnered the franchise's only "Best Series" Emmy Award, as opposed to its later technical ones.

The popularity of the syndicated Star Trek led Paramount Pictures and Roddenberry to begin developing a new Star Trek: Phase II series in May 1975. Work on the series came to an end when the proposed Paramount Television Service folded.

Following the success of the science fiction movies Star Wars and Close Encounters of the Third Kind , the planned pilot episode of Phase II was adapted into the feature film, Star Trek: The Motion Picture . The film was released in North America on December 7, 1979, with mixed reviews from critics. The film earned $139 million worldwide, which fell short of studio expectations but was enough for Paramount to propose a sequel. The studio forced Roddenberry to relinquish creative control of future sequels. In total, six Star Trek feature films were produced between 1979 and 1991.

In response to Star Trek's popularity in the movie theater, the series returned to the television in the critically acclaimed series Star Trek: The Next Generation ( TNG ) in 1987. The show was unusual in that it was broadcast as first-run syndication rather than on a major network. Paramount and the local stations split the advertising time.

After Roddenberry [ ]

Star Trek' s creator, Roddenberry, died on October 24, 1991, of heart failure at the age of 70. Roddenberry granted Rick Berman, the executive producer of TNG , control of the franchise. TNG had the highest ratings of any of the Star Trek series and was the #1 syndicated show during the last few years of its original seven-season run.

In response to TNG's success, Paramount began production of a spin-off Star Trek series Deep Space Nine , which was released in 1993. While never as popular as TNG , DS9 had solid ratings, and it also lasted seven seasons.

In January 1995, a few months after TNG ended, a fourth TV series, Voyager was released. Viewer interest in Star Trek peaked in the mid-1990s with DS9 and Voyager airing concurrently and three of the four TNG -based feature films being released in 1994, 1996 and 1998. Voyager was the flagship show of the new United Paramount Network (UPN) and thus, the first Star Trek series since the original that was shown on a major network. The show lasted seven seasons until 2001, making it the longest running show in UPN's short history.

A new prequel Star Trek TV series, Enterprise , set before TOS (The Original Series), was produced after Voyager ended. Enterprise did not enjoy the high ratings of its predecessors and by the series' third season, UPN threatened to cancel Enterprise . Fans launched a campaign reminiscent of the one that saved the third season of the Original Series . Paramount reacted to the fan requests the same way it did for TOS by renewing Enterprise for a fourth season, but moving it to the "Friday night death slot". Like the Original Series , Enterprise did not fare well during this time slot. UPN announced the cancellation of Enterprise at the end of its fourth season, and its final episode aired on May 13, 2005. Fan groups, such as "Save Enterprise", again attempted to save the series and even announced a drive to raise $30 million to privately finance a fifth season of Enterprise . [18] Though the effort garnered considerable press, the fan drive was unsuccessful in saving the series. The cancellation of Enterprise ended an eighteen-year production run of Star Trek programming on television. This, along with the poor box office performance in 2002 of the film Nemesis , cast an uncertain light upon the future of the Star Trek franchise in general.

Berman, who had been responsible for many of the franchise's commercial successes, was relieved of control of the Star Trek franchise upon the cancellation of Enterprise .

In 2007, Paramount hired a new creative team to reboot the franchise. Writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, and Lost producer, J. J. Abrams, were given the freedom to reinvent the feel of Trek and alter the canonical timeline.

An eleventh film, titled Star Trek , was released in May 2009. The eleventh Star Trek film's marketing campaign targeted non-fans, even using the phrase "this is not your father's Star Trek " in the film's advertisements. [19]

The film has earned considerable critical and financial success, grossing the most of any Star Trek film, even in inflation-adjusted dollars. The plaudits include the franchise's first Academy Award (For makeup). The film's major cast members have signed on for two sequels. Paramount is planning to release a sequel to the reboot on June 29, 2012.

Abrams' was not the first team to propose a reboot. An attempt was also made by J. Michael Straczynski and Bryce Zabel to reboot the franchise in 2004 with the crew of the original series, but Paramount ignored the proposal as they were not "even willing to talk about Star Trek ".

Franchise ownership [ ]

The original Star Trek series began production under Desilu Productions. With the merger of Desilu into Paramount Pictures, that studio assumed outright ownership of the Star Trek franchise until 2006, after which CBS took ownership of the franchise, though certain aspects (feature film and DVD distribution rights) are still owned by Paramount.

Television series [ ]

The core of the Star Trek franchise is six television series: The Original Series , The Animated Series , The Next Generation , Deep Space Nine , Voyager , and Enterprise . In total 727 Star Trek episodes have been produced across the 30 seasons of the TV series.

The Original Series (1966–1969) [ ]

Star Trek , also known as " TOS " or The Original Series, debuted in the United States on NBC on September 8, 1966. The show tells the tale of the crew of the starship Enterprise and its five-year mission "to boldly go where no man has gone before." The original 1966–69 television series featured William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk, Leonard Nimoy as Spock, DeForest Kelley as Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy, James Doohan as Montgomery "Scotty" Scott, Nichelle Nichols as Uhura, George Takei as Hikaru Sulu, and Walter Koenig as Pavel Chekov. During its original run, it was nominated several times for the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation and won twice: for the two-parter "The Menagerie" and the Harlan Ellison-written episode "The City on the Edge of Forever". After three seasons the show was canceled and the last original episode aired on June 3, 1969. It was, however, highly popular with science-fiction fans and engineering students, in spite of generally low Nielsen ratings although later demographic profiling techniques indicated the series was appealing to a highly lucrative audience. The series subsequently became popular in reruns and a cult following developed, complete with fan conventions. Originally presented under the title Star Trek , it has in recent years become known as Star Trek: The Original Series or as "Classic Star Trek"—retronyms that distinguish it from its sequels and the franchise as a whole.

The Animated Series (1973–1974) [ ]

Star Trek: The Animated Series was produced by Filmation and ran for two seasons from 1973 to 1974. Most of the original cast performed the voices of their characters from The Original Series , and many of the original series' writers, such as D. C. Fontana, David Gerrold and Paul Schneider, wrote for the series. While the animated format allowed the producers to create more exotic alien landscapes and lifeforms, the liberal reuse of shots and musical cues as well as animation errors have tarnished the series' reputation. Although it was originally sanctioned by Paramount, which became the owner of the Star Trek franchise following its acquisition of Desilu in 1967, Roddenberry forced Paramount to stop considering the series canonical. Even so, elements of the animated series have been used by writers in later live-action series and movies. As of June 2007, the Animated Series is once again part of the official canon, as confirmed by the official website, Startrek.com.

TAS won Star Trek's first Emmy Award on May 15, 1975. Star Trek TAS briefly returned to television in the mid-1980s on the children's cable network Nickelodeon. Nickelodeon's Evan McGuire greatly admired the show and used its various creative components as inspiration for his short series called Piggly Wiggly Hears A Sound which never aired. Nickelodeon parent Viacom would purchase Paramount in 1994. In the early 1990s, the Sci-Fi Channel also began rerunning TAS. The complete TAS was also released on Laserdisc format during the 1980s. The complete series was first released in the USA on eleven volumes of VHS tapes in 1989. All 22 episodes were released on DVD in 2006.

The Next Generation (1987–1994) [ ]

Star Trek: The Next Generation , also known as " TNG ", is set approximately a century after The Original Series (2364–2370). It features a new starship, the Enterprise -D, and a new crew led by Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and Commander William Riker (Jonathan Frakes). The series introduced alien races new to the Federation as crew members, including Deanna Troi, a half-Betazoid counselor played by Marina Sirtis, and Worf as the first Klingon officer in Starfleet, played by Michael Dorn. It also featured Gates McFadden as Dr. Beverly Crusher, LeVar Burton as chief engineer Geordi La Forge, the android Data portrayed by Brent Spiner, and Dr. Crusher's son Wesley Crusher played by Wil Wheaton. The show premiered on September 28, 1987, and ran for seven seasons, ending on May 23, 1994. Unlike the previous television outings, the program was syndicated instead of airing on network television. It had the highest ratings of any of the Star Trek series and was the #1 syndicated show during the last few years of its original run, allowing it to act as a springboard for ideas in other series. Many relationships and races introduced in TNG became the basis of episodes in Deep Space 9 and Voyager . It was nominated for an Emmy for Best Dramatic Series during its final season. It also received a Peabody Award for Outstanding Television Programming for the episode "The Big Goodbye".

Deep Space Nine (1993–1999) [ ]

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine , also known as "DS9", is set during the last years and the immediate post-years of The Next Generation (2369–2375) and was in production for seven seasons, debuting the week of January 3, 1993. Like Star Trek: The Next Generation , it aired in syndication in the United States and Canada. It is the only Star Trek series to take place primarily on a space station rather than aboard a starship. It is set on the Cardassian-built space station Deep Space Nine, located near the planet Bajor and a uniquely stable wormhole that provides immediate access to the distant Gamma Quadrant. [35] The show chronicles the events of the station's crew, led by Commander (later Captain) Benjamin Sisko, played by Avery Brooks, and Major (later Colonel) Kira Nerys, played by Nana Visitor. Recurring plot elements include the repercussions of the lengthy and brutal Cardassian Occupation of Bajor, Sisko's spiritual role for the Bajorans as the Emissary of the Prophets and in later seasons a war with the Dominion. Deep Space Nine stands apart from earlier Trek series for its lengthy serialized storytelling, conflict within the crew, and religious themes—all of which were elements that were praised by critics and audiences but that Roddenberry had forbidden in the original series and The Next Generation . Nevertheless, he was made aware of plans to make DS9 before his death, so this was the last Star Trek series with which he was connected.

Voyager (1995–2001) [ ]

Star Trek: Voyager was produced for seven seasons, airing from January 16, 1995, to May 23, 2001, launching a new Paramount-owned television network UPN. It features Kate Mulgrew as Captain Kathryn Janeway, the first female commanding officer in a leading role of a Star Trek series, and Commander Chakotay, played by Robert Beltran. Voyager takes place at about the same time as Deep Space Nine and the years following that show's end (2371–2378). The premiere episode has the USS Voyager and its crew pursue a Maquis ship (crewed by Federation rebels). Both ships become stranded in the Delta Quadrant about 75,000 light years from Earth. [39] Faced with a 75-year voyage to Earth, the crew must learn to work together and overcome challenges on the long and perilous journey home while also seeking ingenious ways to shorten the return voyage. Like Deep Space Nine , early seasons of Voyager feature greater conflict between its crew members than is seen in later shows. Such conflict often arises from friction between "by-the-book" Starfleet crew and rebellious Maquis fugitives forced by circumstance to work together on the same ship. Eventually, though, they settle their differences, after which the overall tone becomes more reminiscent of The Original Series . Voyager is originally isolated from many of the familiar aspects and races of the Star Trek franchise, barring those few represented on the crew. This allowed for the creation of new races and original plot lines within the series. Later seasons, however, brought an influx of characters and races from prior shows, such as the Borg, Q, the Ferengi, Romulans, Klingons, Cardassians as well as cast members of The Next Generation .

Enterprise (2001–2005) [ ]

Star Trek: Enterprise , originally titled Enterprise , produced for an abbreviated four seasons airing from September 26, 2001, to May 13, 2005, is a prequel to the other Star Trek series, taking place in the 2150s, some 90 years after Zefram Cochrane developed the first warp-capable starship from a ballistic missile and about a decade before the founding of the Federation. The series shows how the first extraterrestrial contact with the Vulcans and subsequent guidance led to Earth's first warp-five capable starship, the Enterprise , commanded by Captain Jonathan Archer played by Scott Bakula, and Commander T'Pol, played by Jolene Blalock. For the first two seasons, Enterprise is mostly episodic, like The Original Series , The Next Generation and Voyager . The third season's "Xindi mission" arc carried through the entire season. Season 4 was especially known for showing the origins of several common elements in the other series, due to the producers having recruited as writers Trek experts Mike Sussman and the writing team of Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens. In addition, season 4 rectified and resolved some core continuity problems in the series (some of which were created in season 1 of Enterprise ), most notably the decades-old issue of the drastic change in the appearance of the Klingons between TOS and other Trek series. The fourth season's story arcs are often spread to two or three episodes. Ratings for Enterprise started strong but declined rapidly, although longtime viewers were pleased by the final season's many homages to other Trek series.

Feature films [ ]

Main article: Star Trek (film series)Paramount Pictures has produced eleven Star Trek feature films, the most recent released in May 2009 with a twelfth in development, to be released in 2012. The first six films continue the adventures of the cast of The Original Series ; the seventh, Generations was designed as a transition from that cast to The Next Generation ; the next three, 8–10, were exclusively Next Generation . Although North American and UK releases of the films were no longer numbered following the sixth film, European releases continued numbering the films up until Nemesis . The eleventh film, titled Star Trek , is a prequel/reboot of TOS set prior to James T. Kirk's graduation from Starfleet Academy, and promotion to the rank of Captain. A twelfth film is currently in its early stages of production.

Spin-off media [ ]

The Star Trek franchise has a large number of novels, comic books, video games, and other materials, which are generally considered non-canon.

Since 1967, hundreds of original novels, short stories, and television and movie adaptations have been published. The very first original Star Trek novel to be published was Mission to Horatius by Mack Reynolds, which was published in hardcover by Whitman Books in 1968.

The first publisher of Star Trek fiction aimed at adult readers was Bantam Books. In 1970, James Blish wrote the first original Star Trek novel published by Bantam, Spock Must Die! . Pocket Books is currently the publisher of Star Trek novels.

Prolific Star Trek novelists include Peter David, Diane Carey, Keith R.A. DeCandido, J.M. Dillard, Diane Duane, Michael Jan Friedman, and Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens. Several actors and writers from the television series have written books: William Shatner, and John de Lancie, Andrew J. Robinson, J. G. Hertzler, and Armin Shimerman have written or co-written books featuring their respective characters. Voyager producer Jeri Taylor wrote two novels featuring backstory for Voyager characters, and screen authors David Gerrold, D. C. Fontana, and Melinda Snodgrass have also penned books.

Star Trek -based comics have been published by a number of companies almost continuously since 1967. Publishers include Marvel, DC, Malibu, Wildstorm, and Gold Key. Tokyopop currently is publishing an anthology of Next Generation -based stories presented in the style of Japanese manga. [42] As of 2006, IDW Publishing secured publishing rights to Star Trek comics and published a prequel to the 2009 film, Star Trek: Countdown .

The Star Trek franchise also has numerous games in many different formats. Beginning in 1967 with a board game based on the original series and continuing through 2009 with online and DVD games, Star Trek games continue to be popular among fans. The most recent video games of the series are Star Trek: Legacy and Star Trek: Conquest . An MMORPG based on Star Trek called Star Trek Online is developed by Cryptic Studios and published by Atari. It is set in the TNG universe approximately 30 years after the events of Star Trek: Nemesis , and not the re-imagined Universe portrayed in JJ Abrams' Star Trek , although it will take into account the events portrayed at the start of the film and in the prequel comics. Star Trek Online was released on February 2, 2010. [44]

Cultural impact [ ]

The Star Trek media franchise is a multi-billion dollar industry, currently owned by CBS. Gene Roddenberry sold Star Trek to NBC as a classic adventure drama; he pitched

689px-Space shuttle enterprise star trek

Prototype space shuttle Enterprise named after the fictional starship with Star Trek television cast members and creator Gene Roddenberry.

the show as " Wagon Train to the Stars" and as Horatio Hornblower in Space. The opening line, "to boldly go where no man has gone before," was taken almost verbatim from a US White House booklet on space produced after the Sputnik flight in 1957. The central trio of Kirk, Spock, and McCoy was modeled on classical mythological storytelling.

Star Trek and its spin-offs have proved highly popular in syndication and are currently shown on TV stations worldwide. The show’s cultural impact goes far beyond its longevity and profitability. Star Trek conventions have become popular, though they are often merged now with conventions related to other genres and series. Some fans have coined the term Trekkies to describe themselves. Others, however, prefer the term Trekkers. Fans of Deep Space Nine are better known as Niners. An entire subculture has grown up around the show which was documented in the film Trekkies . Star Trek was the top rank cult show by TV guide.

The Star Trek franchise has influenced the design of many current technologies, including the Tablet PC, the PDA, mobile phones, and the MRI (based on Dr. McCoy's diagnostic table). It has also brought to popular attention the concept of teleportation with its depiction of "matter-energy transport." Phrases such as "Beam me up, Scotty" have entered the public vernacular. In 1976, following a letter-writing campaign, NASA named its prototype space shuttle Enterprise , after the fictional starship. Later, the introductory sequence to Star Trek: Enterprise would include footage of the shuttle, along with images of a naval vessel also called the Enterprise , depicting the advancement of human transportation technology.

Beyond Star Trek's technological innovations, one of its greatest and most significant contributions to TV history is its creation of a cast of different races and cultures in the sets. This became common in television shows in the 1980s such as L.A. Law but was controversial and daring in the 1960s. On the bridge of the Enterprise was a Japanese helmsman, a Russian navigator, a black female communications officer, and a Vulcan-Earthling first officer - among other members. Also, controversial at its time (in the episode Plato's Stepchildren ), was Captain Kirk's kiss with Lt. Uhura which became a defining moment in television history as it was American TV's first interracial kiss.

Parodies [ ]

Notable parodies of Star Trek include the Star Wreck movie series, the internet-based cartoon series Stone Trek , the Star Wreck novel series, the song "Star Trekkin'" by The Firm, the feature film Galaxy Quest , an episode of Futurama called "Where No Fan Has Gone Before" which featured several characters from the original series, and the episode of Family Guy titled "Not All Dogs Go to Heaven", which featured the entire cast of Star Trek The Next Generation , as well as an episode of The Simpsons titled "Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie", featuring some of the cast of the original Star Trek television series. The news satire site The Onion created a Star Trek XI based clip just before the release of the film. An adaptation by Jon Mullich of Gilbert & Sullivan's H.M.S. Pinafore which sets the operetta in the world of Star Trek is currently playing in Los Angeles.

Awards and honors [ ]

Of the various science-fiction awards given for drama, only the Hugo award dates back as far as the original series. Although the Hugo is mainly given for print-media science-fiction, its "best drama" award is usually given to film or television presentations. The Hugo does not give out awards for best actor, director, or other aspects of film production. Prior to 2002, films and television shows competed for the same Hugo, before the split of the drama award into short drama and long drama. In 1968, all five nominees for a Hugo award were individual episodes of Star Trek , as were three of the five nominees in 1967 (the other two being the films Fahrenheit 451 and Fantastic Voyage ). The only Star Trek series to not get even a Hugo nomination are the animated series and Voyager , though only the original series and Next Generation ever actually won the award. No Star Trek film has ever won a Hugo, though a few were nominated. In 2008, the fan made episode of Star Trek: New Voyages entitled "World Enough and Time" was nominated for the Hugo for Best Short Drama, where it competed with professional episodes from shows such as Doctor Who and Battlestar Galactica .

The prestigious science-fiction Saturn Awards did not exist during broadcasting of the original series. Unlike the Hugo, the Saturn Award gives out prizes for best actor, special effects and music, and also unlike the Hugo (until 2002) movies and television shows have never competed against each other for Saturns. The two Star Trek series to win multiple Saturn awards during their run were The Next Generation (twice winning for best television series) and Voyager (twice winning for best actress - Kate Mulgrew and Jeri Ryan). The original series retroactively won a Saturn award for best DVD release. Several Star Trek films have won Saturns including categories such as best actor, actress, director, costume design, and special effects. However, Star Trek has never won a Saturn for best make-up.

The Star Trek series has also won 31 Emmy Awards.

Star Trek won the 2009 Academy Award for Best Makeup, the franchise's first Academy Award.

Tzenkethi Tzen-tar Dreadnought Carrier 1

A Tzenkethi Tzen-tar Dreadnought Carrier

Carriers are a type of playable starship . They are among the largest vessels in the Starfleet , KDF , RRF and Dominion fleets, and due to their massive size they are also the slowest and least maneuverable. This weakness is offset though by the vessels ability to launch hangar pets and other small craft to aid it in combat. For example, a Vo'Quv -class Carrier can launch hangar pets such as B'rel Birds-of-Prey or To'Duj Fighters to draw fire or attack a target, or it can launch debuff pets such as Power Siphon Drones or Tachyon Drones that will automatically weaken the opponent.

All Carriers have two hangar bays and can utilize carrier commands to manage their hangar pets. While the number of weapon and device slots varies with each individual ship, they can all equip Dual Cannons . Certain hangar pets may only be equipped by "Full Carriers", i.e. those described on this page.

Consoles have no effect on pets unless explicitly stated in their tooltip, however target applied buffs like Attack Pattern Beta and Fire On My Mark will. Flight Deck Duty Officers also have different effects that will modify carrier pets based upon current carrier commands like Recall Mode , Intercept Mode , and Escort Mode .

Vo'Quv Carrier [ | ]

Vo'Quv class

The recently built Vo'Quv Carrier is the pride of the Klingon Defense Force . This gigantic ship spans nearly 1,300 meters in length which is over 5 times the length of an average Klingon Bird-of-Prey . Unlike most other Klingon vessels the Klingon Carrier does not have any cloaking technology so it cannot hide itself in or out of combat however doesn't require it as much as vessels like Raptors due to its sheer power and strength. The Vo'Quv Carrier has set the standard for all currently existing Carriers in the game, and is often referred to as the original Carrier in Star Trek Online.

Mirror Universe Vo'Quv Carrier [ | ]

The Mirror Vo'Quv Carrier is very similar is design to the Prime Universe Vo'Quv, with the main differences aesthetically being simply hull textures. Systems-wise, the Mirror Vo'Quv exchanges a Lieutenant Science Bridge Officer station with a Lieutenant Engineering Bridge Officer station, as well as exchanging a Science console slot with an Engineering one. Both of these changes make the Mirror Vo'Quv slightly tougher than the Prime-counterpart, but not as capable as a support Carrier.

Kar'Fi Battle Carrier [ | ]

Kar'Fi class

The Kar'Fi class takes many of the Fek'Ihri stylings, and as such doesn't look much like the normal Klingon designs. This class unlike the others were captured by the Klingon Defense Force during the conflict with the Feh'Ihri Horde. This Carrier is much more tactically biased than the Vo'Quv and, as a result, is often utilised as a support-damage Carrier, moreso than the Vo'Quv.

Cross-Faction Carriers [ | ]

Tholian recluse carrier [ | ].

Recluse class

Recent conflicts with the Tholian Assembly have resulted in a handful of captured Tholian vessels. Tholian technology is very different from other Alpha Quadrant powers, and these vessels are prized as opportunities for study as well as new combat vessels. The Recluse Carrier is an example of high-survivability and high-versatility on any single Carrier. Its ability to survive extended situations make this one of the toughest vessels to take down.

Obelisk Carrier [ | ]

Obelisk class

Advanced Obelisk Carrier [ | ]

This strange and powerful ship is from an ancient culture that has had limited contact with the Alpha Quadrant. Although the ship is not Elachi in design, it shares enough similarities with their technology to have a common origin and is believed to be a ship designed for the service of the Iconians (whether it be directly or indirectly an Iconian ship is unknown). A single Obelisk Carrier was stolen and its designs and specifications has since been copied and distributed throughout the Alpha Quadrant. The Advanced Obelisk Carrier is an upgraded version of the standard Obelisk, featuring an additional Engineering console and better overall hull strength and shields. Currently, the Advanced Obelisk Carrier has the highest base hull of any playable ship in the game.

Crew Abilities

Ship Combat is a core gameplay mechanic in Star Trek Timelines , and a key part of Ship Combat are the abilities your crew bring to the battle. As captains of a starship, players may build and upgrade two dozen different ships, from common ships like the Constellation Class to Legendary ships like the Borg Cube . Those ships may be used in Missions , or in the Arena . Alongside those ships are hundreds of crew , who provide all sorts of abilities for your ships.

Crew Ability Overview

Crew Abilities are broken down into two types: Standard abilities and special abilities . All abilities only apply when a crew member is tapped in combat, and only for a period of time.

Standard abilities are the primary stat modifiers that you see on the crew’s portrait. It’s what you should think of when you see a red “+5” next to a crew. This ability increases the stats of your ship while it’s active. All crew have an inherent ability.

Special abilities are specific actions that occur when that crew is activated. Some crew provide a one-time damage bonus; others may modify your crit rating or crit bonus. Some crew may not have any special abilities at all.

Many special abilities are triggered only when your ship has the capability of Cloaking , Positional , or Boarding , and that ship feature has been activated. For an overview which ships can provide which triggers, see ships .

Your crew also have Initialize , Cooldown , and Duration . The crew’s Initialize is how long from the beginning of the battle you need to wait until you can use their ability. This means that an initial warm-up of 15s prevents me from using that crew for the first 15s. Cooldown is how long you need to wait after using the crew for them to recharge. And Duration is how long their ability stays active.

NOTE: Some crew abilities come with a penalty as well. For example, a crew ability may increase Attack by 3, but at a cost of reducing your Evasion by 1. Look for the details by tapping and holding on your crew’s ability, or when slotting them into your Battle Stations.

Equipment Bonuses

Your ship’s crew slots have a bonus. If you slot a crew member that meets that bonus, they will apply an equipment bonus to your ship. This equipment bonus is a passive bonus that applies to your ship while it is in combat. It is only active if you match a crew member of the correct type with the ships slot type. You may still slot different crew in that spot, but they will not give their equipment bonus.

Activating Crew Abilities of the Same Type

When adding crew to your Battle Stations, you’re able to slot in crew with the same type of standard ability. That means, if you wanted to, you could slot in four crew that all changed your Attack stats. What happens when you attempt to use those crew at the same time?

First, the crew with the highest value gets applied to your ship. When activating two crew at the same time that have the same type of bonus, the highest value is applied to your ship.

Second, this is recalculated if an ability ends, so if you had two crew who applied a bonus of 9 and 7, and the 9 bonus ended but the 7 bonus continued, you would see your ship attack increase by 9, then decrease to 7 when the higher value crew ended their ability.

Third, changes to your ship’s stats from your crew don’t stack. If you had three crew activated, and all three modified your attack, only the change from the highest value crew would be applied. NOTE: Specific crew abilities, like one-time damage increases or modifiers, would still affect your ship even if the crew’s primary stat isn’t applied.

Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 Returning Cast & New Character Guide

Star trek: discovery introduced a better vacation spot for picard than risa, star trek: discovery’s neelix reference reveals what happened after voyager.

Warning: SPOILERS for Star Trek: Discovery Season 5, Episode 7, "Erigah"

Four Starfleet ships defended Federation HQ in "Erigah" on Star Trek: Discovery, but the USS Voyager-J and the 32nd century USS Enterprise were absent.
Breen arrived for a blood bounty and President T'Rina negotiated with Primarch Ruhn in a tense face-off.
The identified Starfleet ships backing up Federation HQ in "Erigah" were USS Excalibur-M, USS Credence, USS LaMar, and USS Locherer.

The four Starfleet ships that arrived to defend Federation HQ in Star Trek: Discovery season 5, episode 7, "Erigah," have been identified, and the USS Voyager-J and 32nd century USS Enterprise weren't among them. Written by M. Raven Metzner and directed by Jon Dudkowski, "Erigah" brought the Breen to the United Federation of Planets' doorstep to collect the Eriagh (Breen blood bounty) on L'ak (Elias Toufexis) and Moll (Eve Harlow). President T'Rina (Tara Rosling) led the Federation's tense negotiations with the Breen's Primarch Ruhn (Tony Nappo), and four starships warped in to join the USS Discovery in facing the Breen's massive Dreadnought.

On X, Jörg Hillebrand (@gaghyogi49), who was a renowned researcher on Star Trek: Picard season 3, identified the first two Starfleet ships to back up Federation HQ in Star Trek: Discovery season 5, episode 7, "Erigah ", as the USS Excalibur-M and the USS Credence. Check out Hillebrand's posts below:

The final two Starfleet ships warping to the rescue in Star Trek: Discovery season 5, episode 7 are the USS LaMar and the USS Locherer , according to Memory Alpha . The Locherer was the starship that captured Moll and L'ak at the start of "Erigah."

As Burnham seeks the universe's greatest treasure in Star Trek: Discovery season 5, she'll need help from a host of new and returning characters.

Where Are USS Voyager-J & USS Enterprise In Star Trek: Discovery Season 5?

Other starships are helping the uss discovery.

The USS Voyager-J and a future version of the USS Enterprise are confirmed to be in service in Star Trek: Discovery 's 32nd century, but neither have been seen in Star Trek: Discovery season 5. Voyager-J was shown in Star Trek: Discovery season 3 , and Lt. Commander Nillson (Sara Mitich) transferred to Voyager-J from the USS Discovery before Star Trek: Discovery season 5 began. Voyager-J was also outfitted with a prototype Pathway Drive, Starfleet's new warp system meant to replace the USS Discovery's spore drive .

Star Trek: Discovery season 5 introduced the USS Antares.

Star Trek: Discovery has yet to show the 32nd-century USS Enterprise or determine what generation the legendary starship has reached. The Enterprise was mentioned in Star Trek: Discovery season 4, joining the USS Voyager-J to scan a subspace rift left behind by the Dark Matter Anomaly. Star Trek: Discovery season 5 introduced the USS Antares, the starship formerly commanded by Captain Rayner (Callum Keith Rennie). Since Star Trek: Discovery season 5 is its final season, it's unknown whether the USS Enterprise or USS Voyager-J will be seen before the series ends.

Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection

View history

Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection was a British magazine / display model collectible partwork publication and product line that was published by Eaglemoss Collections under its Hero Collector imprint and overall supervision of Project Manager Ben Robinson . Authorized and licensed by Paramount Consumer Products , it had been available in a substantial number of countries worldwide.

Each fortnightly issue included a hand-painted [1] ABS and die-cast metal scaled replica of a starship from the Star Trek universe. Notably, an unparalleled variety of ship designs have been produced as display models for this line, many for the first time, beyond the scope of all other mass-production manufacturers. Eaglemoss' Star Trek starship model line had become by far the largest starship model line(s) of any entertainment media franchise ever released by a single company – especially when taking the near-identically executed follow-up Discovery , Online , Universe , and Lower Decks spin-off/sister collections into account as well. Robinson himself has later intimated that a Star Trek starship model collection of this scope is highly unlikely to be surpassed, or even emulated, anytime soon, " I think it’s pretty clear that there are lots of ships wh [ich] ere we did that were really obscure, that nobody’s going to make again. " [91]

Robinson and his team utilized original CGI studio models for reference whenever they are available. [2] A Star Trek Fact Files veteran, reference book author, and custodian of his own Star Trek production art archive, Robinson oversees the preparation of the magazines and the selection, commissioning, and decoration of the starship miniatures. John Ainsworth, Hero Collector's Development Manager, assumed many of Robinson's roles for the production of the miniatures after the first 120 issues.

Robinson has also acted as a co-author and co-editor of the magazine content, which consists of a mix of "in-universe" articles and real world production POV articles dealing with the design and usage of the models in question [3] , alongside Marcus Riley (another former member of the Fact Files team) and Mark Wright , and continued to contribute starship articles, [92] much of which eventually finding its way into the company's lines of spin-off reference book series.

Many production-used 3D studio models have been adapted for use as miniatures. Alongside studio assets, starship designers including Rob Bonchune , Adam Buckner , David Carson , Dan Curry , Daren Dochterman , Doug Drexler , Pierre Drolet , John Eaves , Sean Hargreaves , Alex Jaeger , Matt Jefferies , Greg Jein , Joe Jennings , Koji Kuramura , "Mojo" Lebowitz , Jim Martin , Brandon MacDougall , Ed Miarecki , Michael Okuda , Andrew Probert , Mark Rademaker , Alain Rivard , Nilo Rodis-Jamero , Rick Sternbach , Sean Tourangeau , and "Meni" Tsirbas have built or assisted in the construction of these models, provided the original CG files, or have shared background material about their designs. [4] A number of original models have also been provided by other former production staffers and producers, including David Lombardi and Dave Rossi .

Where existing models were unavailable, unusable, or deemed unsuitable for use, many models had been commissioned by the company and wholly recreated by independent contractors including Bonchune [5] , Lebowitz, Fabio Passaro 's Meshweaver Productions [6] , and Ed Giddings of Cgreactor [7] .

The models were modified, retexturized, and converted into CAD files by these contractors before CAD tooling masters were created at the Holinail Group, [93] Eaglemoss' manufacturing partner in Dongguan, China. 2D renders were often used for the publication's illustrations and newly-created annotated schematics by its art editors in the UK.

Each accompanying twenty-page magazine (measuring 219 × 284 mm, except as noted) featured comprehensive articles about the design, filming, and on-screen appearances of the original studio model(s). Alongside the use of archival material, new interviews were conducted with a number of Star Trek cast members and production staff for the publication. Reference photographs of studio models, production stills, and concept art reproductions are also used extensively. Detailed "in-universe" information about the vessel's history, crew, weapons, and technology was explored within starship profiles and in other feature articles.

Gift premiums and magazine online versions [8] of many issues were also made available to subscribers.

Following the August 2020 conclusion of the Standard Edition in the UK, new releases for the Bonus, Special, XL, shuttlecraft set, and resin dedication plaque sub-collections continued to be produced for the line, as were magazine binders and hardcover reference books. A number of products have also been re-released in new packaging for direct sale through the UK webshop.

Though the "Standard Edition" had already completed its run by then, some of the other sub-collections of the Collection were still releasing issues when on 12 July 2022 all Eaglemoss product lines came to a sudden and unexpected end, as the company was forced to cease its business activities under the UK Insolvency Act – meaning a company is no longer able to pay off its debts. [94] Though having achieved a considerable portion of its goal, i.e. to have all pre- Kurtzman-era Star Trek ships released in one format or another in the Collection , the bankruptcy of Eaglemoss (which became effective on 5 August 2022 , as confirmed by Robinson [95] ) meant that the Collection fell short of its lofty goal in the end – albeit not by much.

In 2023, the company (new) Master Replicas had purchased the rights to Eaglemoss's remaining stock, and started to re-issue various ships ( and books) from the entire line from March onward, which also included a variety of issues Eaglemoss itself had not yet been able to release themselves because of its 5 August 2022 bankruptcy.

Standard Edition issues (UK) [ ]

Standard Edition models commonly measure between four and six inches long and were released fortnightly. A number of these issues were later reissued in new packaging, and can be viewed below under the Collector's Editions section of Repacks.

In the UK, the Standard Edition release run concluded with issue 180 in August 2020, just two weeks shy of a full eight-year run. The cessation of the Standard Edition release automatically entailed the termination of the subscription service for those eligible customers who had opted to take out one. [9] Nonetheless, the 2020 cessation did not spell out the end of the Collection , as additional issues continued to be regularly released afterwards in the various sub-collections, mentioned hereafter, but these had to be ordered separately and individually at the company's webstores – like it always had needed to be, since none of the sub-collections were ever conceived as part of the subscription setup.

Bonus Edition issues [ ]

Bonus Edition issues commonly feature registry variants, concept designs, model ships, ships seen only on background displays, and other designs originating from comics , novels , Star Trek Online , and Ships of the Line calendars , and these often as "extended/soft canon " referred to starships were initially released in similar vein as the regular Standard Edition. The accompanying magazine is in contents similar to the Standard Edition magazines. The early SS Yorktown (first "convention exclusive") and Future USS Enterprise -D (subscription gift item) releases though, were issued in the "Standard Edition" packaging without magazines. Like the Special Editions, a number have been created in close consultation with the production artists who conceived the ships' original designs.

Cloaked USS Defiant in convention box packaging

Those Bonus Editions models selected for convention purposes, were repackaged in redesigned "display boxes" like the one pictured on the right, with the same magazines that came with the Standard Edition, but downsized to 145 × 183 mm in order to fit within the box. Introduced in 2018 for the Collector's Edition , this packaging format became the norm for the Bonus Edition after the cessation of the regular Standard Edition two years later. No binder has been provided for the deviant magazine format by the company while it was in business. This Bonus/Collector's Edition format also became the regular format of choice for the later Star Trek Online Starships Collection spin-off publication, and where a binder for the deviant magazine format was made available.

Some vessels bear Terran Empire liveries and parts (as seen in the mirror universe ), while the Federation fleet seen in the Kelvin Timeline was added to the Bonus Edition releases in 2021, following later adjustments to licensing with CBS. [40]

It was the Bonus Edition that became the replacement format for the (mostly "canon") regular Standard Edition and was meant to yet release "some of the big deal missing ships we haven't got to" left over from that edition, [97] after it had concluded its run in the UK during 2020. The models in the Standard Edition size range (about four to six inches long), commonly debuted at Eaglemoss' Hero Collector convention booths – explaining the choice for the display box packaging – , and became afterwards available as "webshop exclusives". The August 2022 Eaglemoss bankruptcy had cut the intended release run short though.

Unrealized considered Bonus Edition issues [ ]

These concerned issues that were considered, but had not entered the asset production stage yet.

Special Edition issues [ ]

Ira Steven Behr with a DS9 model

Eaglemoss received licensing to release starships from Star Trek 's alternate reality (officially known as the Kelvin Timeline since 2016) as Special Editions, alongside unique starships and space stations from Star Trek 's prime reality .

Made of the same materials as the Standard Editions, most Special Edition models are about six to eight inches long, and subscribers receive a small discount when purchasing them. The seventeenth release featured a battery-powered internal LED light.

These larger releases are retailed by the company's webshops and a number of other retailers.

XL Edition issues [ ]

A number of "significant" starships from the Star Trek universe have also been produced in a larger size than the Standard, Bonus, and most Special Editions. Released as XL Editions, these models generally measure between eight-and-a-half and twelve inches long, and are available from company webshops and a variety of other retailers.

XL and Standard Edition USS Enterprise models

Following the successful roll-out of the first three of these "Oversized" (or "Large Scale") issues to subscribers and retail, this sub-line was also marketed as the " Star Trek Starships XL Edition " and was launched as a separate subscription partwork on Eaglemoss' US website. [98] The company has plans for about thirty XL issues in total, as of September 2020. [99]

Beginning with XL Edition 22, a slightly smaller 20-page magazine (measuring 227 × 155 mm) is enclosed with each XL Edition, which has been designed to be stored (and retailed) within the box beneath the model. This format was also used for the magazines enclosed with the repackaged Best of XL Edition releases outlined below (in Repacks).

Limited Edition Gold XL Exclusives [ ]

Similar to the displayed models seen in the observation lounge of the USS Enterprise -E and commonly debuting as "Exclusives" for conventions, Limited Edition versions of a number of XL USS Enterprise models are also manufactured with 18-carat gold-plated exteriors and are available in limited quantities.

Shuttlecraft issues [ ]

Shuttlecraft models are smaller than the other releases, are made of metallic resin, include a small standardized stand, and are individually packaged within each four-pack box. Presently, shuttle issues are only available for purchase in four-packs, in all markets. Shuttles may be offered as individual issues and alternate deco (or registry) variants may be manufactured in the future, if further production runs occur. [100]

In January 2015, shuttle issues were previewed to subscribers in Germany. By adding the "Premium" subscription option (for a small monthly fee), subscribers received a new shuttle every twenty issues. The first shuttle reached these subscribers in November 2015 [101] , and only ships from the first two shuttle packs were included in the offer.

An eight-page booklet (measuring 150 × 210 mm, the smallest magazine dimension of all Eaglemoss' Star Trek publications) that contains (exclusively) "in-universe" information accompanies each model. It features master systems display illustrations ( okudagrams ) newly created for each issue by Mike Okuda .

These schematics are also printed onto translucent plastic sheets (measuring 120 × 80 mm) which can be mounted on (included) plastic clip stands.

Rick Sternbach and Tim Earls designed the sheets for the third shuttlecraft four-pack, while Doug Drexler was enlisted to design them for the fifth and sixth sets. Okuda designed the sheets for the seventh set.

Repacks [ ]

Starship sets [ ]

Each set includes a fifty-page booklet (measuring 168 × 216 mm) that contains material covering all of the starships in the set, compiled from the previously released individual magazines, as is detailed above. The booklet for both versions of the third set has sixty-five pages to accommodate the content for the extra (fourth) ship. All models are identical to their earlier releases (as Standard or Bonus Editions) and are packaged individually within the box for the set.

Collector's Editions [ ]

Packaging mockup

Debuting exclusively in North America in February 2018 and marketed as the Best of the Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection for its first three years, Eaglemoss re-released twelve of its most popular Standard Edition issues in new windowbox packaging with attached J-hooks, enabling the boxes to be hung on pegs at retailers. The models within are identical to their earlier releases.

Downscaled to fit into the box beneath the model, a twenty-page booklet accompanies each starship and its stand. Each "collector's guide" (measuring 145 × 183 mm, a smaller format which fits the box packaging) contains the same content as the larger, original full-sized A4 magazine (as is detailed above) but the issue number is not printed on the cover. Later, in 2019, this packaging style (without the J-hook) became used for the cloaked USS Defiant 2500-copy convention exclusive in the US and UK as well.

In 2020, the range was expanded by six ships and its availability in entirety to the UK was announced as a convention exclusive range, [102] (X) though like in the US, unsold copies ended up in the UK webstore as well. From 2021 onward however, after the Standard Edition range was terminated, the Collector's Edition packaging style became the standard for new outings in the Bonus Edition range.

Eleven more ships, USS Titan NCC-80102 (B05), Pralor Warship (B37A), USS Prometheus NX-59650 (25), USS Phoenix NCC-65420 (112), Federation Attack Fighter (68), USS Excelsior NCC-2000 (8), USS Appalachia NCC-52136 (54), UES Warp Delta (82), USS Equinox NCC-72381 (15), SS Emmette (124), and USS Bozeman NCC-1941 (120) were scheduled for a 2021 (re-)release in this format. That intent however, became thwarted by the COVID-19 pandemic which necessitated worldwide lock-downs, meaning the cancellation of every convention as well. The Titan re-release became one of only two realized, but was not able to reach market because of the lock-downs. [94] The other realized planned release concerned the 500-copy Pralor warship model-only convention exclusive. [61]

Collector's XL Editions [ ]

In 2020, the company began to re-release a number of its most popular XL Edition starship models as the Best of the Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection XL Edition , which transitioned to Collector's XL Edition in the following year.

In new "retail-friendly" premium boxes made of thicker cardboard (and the models within held in black foam), lifting the magnetic clasps and opening the gatefold on the box's front allows the model to be displayed (in a windowbox) while still packaged.

A downscaled version of the magazine (measuring 227 × 155 mm) with identical contents to the XL Edition (as is detailed above) is included with each model and is stored (and retailed) within the box behind the ship.

Gift premiums [ ]

Gift premiums (known here as "loyalty gifts") are sent to subscribers and include a binder able to hold sixteen magazines (afterwards becoming the regular, standard binder for sale at the company's webstores), a polyresin USS Enterprise -D dedication plaque, a three-nacelled Future USS Enterprise -D model, and a battery-powered, LED-illuminated PVC Borg Cube. An enamel starship pin was added as a gift in June 2018, which was superseded by a pair of steel bookends in September 2018. [95]

In Japan, early subscribers received a unique, smaller, LED-illuminated PVC Borg Cube after De Agostini , the magazine's local publisher, "declined" to release the UK version of the Borg Cube and manufactured its own. De Agostini also released a key ring as a gift, in lieu of the UK's free magazine binder.

Initially advertised as subscriber "exclusives", the UK version of the Borg cube, the USS Enterprise -D plaque, and the Future USS Enterprise -D model were later retailed to the general public through company webshops. Magazines were not included with these starship models.

Starship dedication plaques [ ]

Painted, scaled, metallic polyresin starship dedication plaques are made available through company webshops and retail outlets, and were designed by Michael Okuda. In late 2018, the company indicated that a "few more" dedication plaques were being planned.

The first release was initially distributed to subscribers as a gift premium.

Commencing in September 2018, US subscribers who opt for a "Platinum" subscription will receive a plaque every ten issues, for an additional ongoing fee.

Reference books [ ]

Designing Starships series [ ]

In October 2016 , Eaglemoss Publications premiered the first volume of the Star Trek: Designing Starships series, a line of hardcover reference books that are primarily comprised of starship design articles from the Starships Collection partworks' individual magazines, combined with new artwork, charts, and expanded material.

Published under the Hero Collector imprint, second editions of the first three volumes and all subsequent books in the series were released by Eaglemoss in mass-market editions, utilizing Penguin Random House 's Publisher Services division.

Shipyards series [ ]

Star Trek: Shipyards , subtitled The Encyclopedia of Star Trek Ships , is a mass-market hardcover reference book series that presents an "in-universe" chronological history of canon starships, and is published by Eaglemoss Collections through Penguin Random House's Publisher Services division, under its Hero Collector imprint. Starships from the alternate reality ( Kelvin Timeline) and TAS are not covered in this series, and ships seen only on displays will not be incorporated.

Volumes are principally comprised of starship profile articles produced for the Starships Collection partworks, combined with new artwork, charts, and expanded material. The series was characterized by Ben Robinson as an effort to create "an equivalent of Jane's Fighting Ships for Star Trek ". [104] [99]

A Special Edition of the first volume included a model of the USS Enterprise from (Standard Edition) issue 50 of the Starships Collection . [105]

In Japan, the first editions of the first two volumes were published by De Agostini and carried its imprint on the covers. The Books-A-Million Edition of these two books bore variant covers and were exclusively retailed by the American bookshop chain, Books-A-Million. Polish editions of these books were also published by HarperCollins Publishers .

A second edition of the second volume incorporates ships from Star Trek: Lower Decks , Discovery , and Picard .

A "limited edition" three-volume box set included a specially-designed slipcase, a fold-out starship size chart (a 35 × 25-inch poster), and the first, second, and fourth books of the series. [106]

The fifth and sixth volumes explore almost every Borg vessel and starship seen in the Delta Quadrant , and the company has created new CG starship models for many of the VOY ships that were solely created as practical (physical) studio models. [107]

The seventh, eighth, and ninth volumes would have covered major races and ships from the Alpha , Beta , and Gamma Quadrants . The August 2022 bankruptcy of Eaglemoss meant that only the seventh title saw an actual release.

Illustrated Handbook series [ ]

The first volume of the mass-market hardcover Illustrated Handbook reference series comprehensively explores the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D starship and its history, technology, and crew, incorporating updated and expanded content from the Star Trek Fact Files , alongside some new material and artwork. [108]

A Special Edition of the first book includes a starship model (from the first Standard Edition issue of this partwork), and both editions were published by Eaglemoss Collections through Penguin Random House's Publisher Services division under its Hero Collector imprint. [109]

The second volume features the USS Enterprise and USS Enterprise -A , as they were seen in The Original Series , Discovery , and feature films. [110] A model of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A (from Standard Edition issue 72) is included with the Special Edition.

A third volume focuses on the USS Voyager and was slated for release in two editions but its Special Edition (with a model of the ship from Standard Edition issue 6) was "postponed indefinitely" before publication.

The fourth volume covers the Deep Space 9 space station , the USS Defiant , and the Danube -class runabouts from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine .

Many fans consider this series to be the contemporary successor to Pocket Books ' acclaimed Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Technical Manual s from the 1990s.

Comic book [ ]

A limited edition of 1,000 copies of IDW 's Star Trek: Year Five Issue 6 comic book featured artwork and photography by Nils Walter Khan on its cover, and showcased the XL Edition model of the USS Enterprise .

The comic book debuted at Eaglemoss/Hero Collector 's New York Comic Con booth in October 2019 , where writer Jody Houser , "showrunners" Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing , and cover artist Khan autographed covers for convention attendees. [111] Additional autographed copies were also retailed at later conventions and through company webshops.

Eaglemoss/Hero Collector also retails the Star Trek Graphic Novel Collection partwork , which comprehensively republishes many of IDW's Star Trek titles and a wide range of comics from other publishers.

Non-regular magazine binders [ ]

The gift premium binder, listed above, became the regular, standard Collection magazine binder marketed on the company's webshops. [98] Additional "limited edition" binders with "Federation" and "Alien" starship illustrations on their covers have later been made available at a higher price point to supplement the standard binder design.

Originally released as a "limited edition" exclusive in December 2014, a "Federation & Alien" binder featuring a silver foil Star Trek logo (left) was only retailed for a brief period and did not reappear (on the US shop) until 2021. [100] The separate "Federation" (center) and "Alien" (right) binders, the other "limited edition" releases, later became available from company webshops on an ongoing basis.

When the smaller sized 145 × 183 mm magazine format was introduced for the "Collector's," and post-2020 issues of the "Bonus Editions" sub-collections, a new binder capable of holding the smaller-sized magazine format became required. However, this new binder was never marketed by Eaglemoss while it was still in business – though collectors could have made do with the similarly-sized Online Collection binder which had been released. It was only after the 2022 bankruptcy that new remainder stock owner Master Replicas discovered that the new format binder had just entered production for retail dissemination when the bankruptcy occurred. A small stockpile of these binders of about 60 copies was uncovered, and ultimately sold by them in September 2023. [77] [112]

Marketing [ ]

Uk and german test marketing [ ].

Originally identified as prospective product line during market research for (predecessor company) GE Fabbri 's short-lived Star Trek: The Figurine Collection , the first five Starships Collection issues were test-marketed at retail in England's south-west region beginning in May 2012 with selected regions in Germany – Star Trek 's biggest market after the US and UK – to follow, and the company's website began to solicit UK and German subscriptions. Due to unexpected heavy demand and the resulting production and distribution challenges, new subscriptions were suspended at the end of July 2012. As commonplace, the test issues were accompanied by local TV ads in the selected UK and German testing regions.

Upon receipt of the first five issues, subscribers were advised that the magazine had been suspended and that confirmation of forthcoming issues from the publisher was pending. Gift premiums were not distributed to subscribers. This type of early "test release" is a common practice for partwork publishers, in order to gauge public interest.

UK and Ireland marketing [ ]

In September 2012, a Facebook page was established for the magazine and Eaglemoss subsequently announced that a full UK roll-out of the line was slated for February 2013. New subscriptions resumed on 17 September 2012 and the company confirmed that gift premiums and more issues were forthcoming. Residents of the Republic of Ireland were added to the UK subscriber base in early 2013.

At the very inception of the project, a production run of fifty issues was foreseen, [113] but by the time the project was gearing up for its initial run, the company increased that number to seventy issues and displayed a "provisional list" of ships at the Destination Star Trek London convention in October 2012. A large number of additional issues have been identified by company representatives through social media and interview podcasts.

On 9 January 2013, the company announced that the line would be indefinitely placed on hiatus until a new manufacturer was found, following the closure of their contracted production facility by Chinese authorities.

Starship models produced with the toolings and paint masks from the closed factory subsequently appeared in large-volume online auctions from Hong Kong. The two USS Enterprise -D models were later dubbed " Shadyprise " variants by collectors, due to their somewhat shady origin. Notably, the early Klingon Bird-of-Prey, USS Enterprise -D and Future USS Enterprise -D models feature paintwork that differs markedly from the official releases.

In early April 2013, Eaglemoss sent emails to subscribers stating that the magazine was back in production at a new factory and indicated that shipping would resume in August 2013. This re-launch date was confirmed on the line's newly redesigned website in May 2013 and the first issue was re-released on 21 August 2013.

The Standard Edition-sized starship models are produced in "box scale", designed to fit within a standardized box size for sale at a common price point. The boxes for almost all of these starships (the Standard, Bonus and Shuttlecraft issues) measure 168 × 127 × 51 mm. Smaller (and taller) boxes (measuring 123 × 101 × 80 mm) were supplied for Standard issues 10, 58, 94, 96, 109, 127, 146, and 180, and Bonus issue 22. A larger box (measuring 176 × 176 × 80 mm) was made for the Bajoran Solar-Sailor and another (measuring 164 × 138 × 86 mm) encompassed the Xindi-Insectoid Warship. The dimensions of the boxes for the Special and XL Edition starship models vary greatly.

In all cases, the model can be easily removed from (and put back into) the box without damaging the packaging or model whatsoever. There are no holes made in the models for the stands.

In the UK and Ireland, COMAG UK distributes subscriptions through the Royal Mail while DPD (UK) and the Royal Mail distribute webshop orders. Most products are also available through specialty shops.

International marketing [ ]

Following the successful roll-out of the magazine in the UK and Ireland, Eaglemoss launched the magazine in a number of other territories worldwide, beginning in late 2013. English-language magazines distributed outside of the UK are identical to the UK releases. [101]

In Japan, the (numbered) Standard Edition issues are published and distributed by De Agostini and carry its imprint on the covers. The first six issues were retailed in 2012 in a test marketing run, similar to the initial UK five-issue test release. The subsequent regular Japanese release was marketed differently as magazine and model came standard packaged within a gatefold box, reminiscent of, but not entirely similar to, the later Collector's Edition packaging style. Like it became with the Collector's Edition, the Japanese magazine issues were released in a smaller format to fit within the box. As already stated above , the German release of the line became the only other international release that also saw a (five-issue) test run before its full launch.

John Van Citters , the Vice President of CBS Consumer Products ' Product Development division at the time, supervised the production of the partwork for the licensors and formally announced the expansion of the magazine to ninety regular issues at a panel on 2 August 2014 at the Official Star Trek Convention in Las Vegas. [114]

Further extensions were announced on 11 December 2015 (to 110), 4 September 2016 (to 130), 22 September 2017 (to 150), 25 December 2017 (to 160), and 3 August 2019 (to 180).

A small number of models were manufactured with minor painting errors that were corrected during subsequent production runs. Issues affected include 1, 9, 15, 16, and shuttle issue 08.

The Collection was briefly seen in the 2018 " Star Trek " episode of the Netflix documentary series The Toys That Made Us , where it was characterized as an accurately reproduced product line from a latter-day company that is specifically aimed at adult collectors. It also opined that the line is not a toy line nor typical mass-market merchandise, as it caters to a very specific and relatively small niche in the collector market.

Online contests

In many countries worldwide, products were available at the company's webshops, and through other retailers, where available. In some of the larger sized foreign markets they had also been available by subscription at first. Most products were also retailed by newsagents and booksellers, and by comics, collectibles and gaming shops affiliated with Diamond Comic Distributors . Amazon.com , Anovos , Sideshow Collectibles , ThinkGeek/GameStop , and other retailers marketed a number of releases from this partwork and its Discovery spin-off . Loot Crate also released a small number of models within its Star Trek Mission Crate subscription box line.

Incidentally, the XL, Bonus, and Special editions rarely saw translated magazines, and the German- and Japanese-language regular edition magazines were by the time of the August 2022 Eaglemoss bankruptcy the only two non-English editions left. Over the course of the Collection 's release, most foreign-language magazines later switched over to English-only releases. [102]

When Eaglemoss went bankrupt in 2022, stock held by, or earmarked for, DeAgostini Japan was not part of the bankruptcy settlements and subsequent takeover by Master Replicas contrary to the German-language stock, as it was not owned legally by Eaglemoss but by the Japanese branch of DeAgostini.

In a Q&A session on his Twitter page, project manager Ben Robinson wrote, " It's a question of economics, though. If enough people are buying, we'll keep going. We're already doing more ships than anyone ever imagined. Hurrah! " [103]

The project manager had stated that he considered every Andorian , Borg , Dominion , Kazon , Klingon , Romulan , Suliban , Tellarite , Vidiian , Vulcan , and Xindi ship to be "essential" to the collection, and aspired to produce all of the Federation ships seen on-screen. [104]

In October 2019, the company announced that Standard Edition (numbered) issues would conclude with the publishing of issue 180, and later outlined plans to continue to produce more Standard Edition-sized Bonus ships that would have reached market "roughly every three months", beginning around "the middle" of 2021. [115] Bernd Schneider of Ex Astris Scientia , the noted Star Trek reference website, had assisted CG modeler Fabio Passaro by providing reference material for many of these alien ships and lesser-known "ships of the week", mainly from TNG and VOY. [116] EAS and MA member Jörg Hillebrand also contributed reference material for some of these issues. [117] [118]

More "extended-canon" or "soft-canon" Bonus Editions might had been produced, including newly-created models based on concept designs, and more cloaked ships are under consideration. "Battle-damaged" versions of some starships might had been made as XL Editions, while future starships from the older Star Trek films would likely had been released as Special Editions, due to the added costs of producing all-new CG models and toolings from scratch. A few Star Trek: The Animated Series ships might eventually had reached production, possibly alongside ships from later animated Trek series.

Registry , "cloaked", and gold variants might had been continued for release as convention exclusives but all new classes of starship would remain available to subscribers and retail. Robinson had indicated that the company wanted to ensure that missed con exclusives would "not be too painful" for those who could not attend, while still providing "something special" for collectors who did.

Robinson indicated that he hoped that the producers of Star Trek Beyond would allow Eaglemoss to manufacture a USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A model, something they have declined to sanction in the past due to uncertainty about its future appearance.

Eaglemoss had been hoping to produce the classic starship designs created by Franz Joseph as models, and has indicated that his estate had been engaged in negotiations with CBS.

XL Edition USS Cerritos

The company had revealed that the USS Cerritos , USS Titan , and USS Vancouver would be forthcoming models and confirmed that its Star Trek: Lower Decks starships line would debut at retail in January 2022 . Robinson also indicated that the company would manufacture starships from Star Trek: Section 31 and Star Trek: Prodigy . [119] [120] [121] [122]

Star Trek Discovery Official Starships Collection ship promos

In January 2018, Eaglemoss/Hero Collector launched the Star Trek: Discovery The Official Starships Collection partwork, a monthly spin-off publication that features starships from the Star Trek: Discovery series.

The starship models measure from about fifteen to twenty-five centimeters in length, comparable to many of the Special Editions from this collection. Larger "Special Edition" DIS starship models, similar in size to the "XL Edition" models released in this partwork, have also been produced.

As is detailed above, XL Edition models of the USS Enterprise (as it appeared in Discovery ), the USS Shenzhou , and the USS Discovery were also released in this collection, following their release as smaller models in the DIS partwork. A USS Discovery -A refit model is also planned for this line.

In October 2020, the company announced that its forthcoming starship miniatures from DIS (after numbered issue 33), PIC, and SNW would be combined into a new product line, [123] which was subsequently identified as the Star Trek Universe: The Official Starships Collection . (see below)

Star Trek: The Next Generation Build The USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D [ ]

Star Trek TNG Build The USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D model details

In March 2021, the company launched the Star Trek: The Next Generation Build The USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D partwork, a new line featuring a seventy centimeter-long electronically-lit model of the USS Enterprise 1701-D.

Subscribers construct the die-cast metal and ABS model over 120 kit "stages", and typically receive four kits (sent together) each month. A magazine containing the relevant assembly instructions, some feature articles, and a TNG episode guide accompanies the model parts.

Art prints and die-cast models of the ship's shuttles (in Standard Edition size, as above) are also produced as Special issues of the partwork. [124]

Star Trek Online Starships Collection [ ]

On 6 June 2020 , the company debuted the Star Trek Online Starships Collection , a new partwork featuring four to six-inch die-cast metal and ABS starships, similar in size to the Standard Edition models from this series.

This collection exclusively presents starships from Star Trek Online , the massively multiplayer online role-playing game .

After launching with ten, the company announced that the series would be extended to twenty issues in July 2020 . On 10 August 2021 , project manager Ben Robinson announced that the line would conclude following the release of the twentieth issue, due to an insufficient response at retail. [125]

Developed from a design originally commissioned for the game, Eaglemoss has previously manufactured two starship miniatures (in two distinct liveries) of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-F ( β ) as Bonus Editions within the first Starships Collection , as is detailed above.

Star Trek Universe: The Official Starships Collection [ ]

The Star Trek Universe: The Official Starships Collection partwork and product line premiered in March 2021 .

Each issue includes a (roughly) six to ten inch-long (150 to 250 mm-long, similar in size to Special Editions from this partwork) die-cast metal and ABS scaled starship replica from Star Trek: Picard and/or Star Trek: Strange New Worlds , and the line will later serve as a continuation of the Star Trek: Discovery The Official Starships Collection .

Larger Special Edition models may also be produced for the Universe series, though a number of XL Edition ships from DIS, PIC, and SNW will continue to be released in this partwork.

Promellian Battle Cruiser model in PIC Season 2 trailer…

a A copy of the Promellian Battle Cruiser model (Regular issue 142) was sent by Ben Robinson to Star Trek: Picard ' s Production Designer Dave Blass for a ship in a bottle set decoration that first appeared as a Château Picard fireplace mantel display piece in the Season 2 trailer , [126] like it was in the episode " The Star Gazer ", while making an additional appearance in the episode " Hide and Seek " as part of a childhood memory of Jean-Luc Picard . [127] Designed by series' prop master Jeffrey Lombardi , the 11.5×6×5 inches measuring ship-in-a-bottle model prop turned up later at auction as Lot #178 in Prop Store 's 15-29 November 2022 Star Trek: Picard Seasons 1 & 2 Online Auction , eventually selling on 29 November for US$9,375. [128]

The Eaglemoss retcon Enterprise model in a display case (top)…

b After the above-mentioned canon appearance of the regular issue Promellian Battle Cruiser model in "The Star Gazer", three more Eaglemoss display models from the "Special Edition" side collection also made an appearance in Picard's childhood memories in the "Hide and Seek" episode alongside the Promellian Battle Cruiser model, which made an encore in the episode; The first one concerned the NX-class refit model (issue SP06) – in the process making the hitherto apocryphal design canon as well – whereas the two other ones concerned the Deep Space Station K-7 (issue SP10), and Regula I (issue SP24) models. A fifth additional Eaglemoss model that was featured concerned issue 11 from the XL Edition sub-collection, that of the Discovery retcon- Enterprise which was seen on the top shelf of the same display where the two space station models were also displayed in. Each of the four additional Eaglemoss models were featured non-modified.

Footnotes [ ]

↑ The models were painted freehand and with the use of paint masks (templates), alongside pad and tampo printing processes, while electro-plating is employed for the 18k gold-plated Enterprise -D release. The earliest prototypes are 3D printed in resin and, once approved by Eaglemoss and CBS, were manufactured using a variety of injection, vacuum, and compression molding techniques. [1]
↑ Ben Robinson had previously used live-action production CGI studio models to create illustrations for other licensed Star Trek print publications, in the process becoming, at least where the Star Trek franchise was concerned, a pioneer by doing so. He commissioned Rob Bonchune (and others) to render these models for use in the Star Trek Fact Files and its US magazine derivative . Robinson served as project manager, editor and writer of many issues of those publications (incidentally published by one of Eaglemoss Collections' two original constituent parts, GE Fabbri ), foreshadowing his similar role at the Official Starships Collection . Regarding the availability of production-used digital models, Robinson has stated, " There is an excellent archive of ships from Voyager and Enterprise . Less so with the other shows. " [2] To alleviate this shortage of models, Robinson solicited the input of former Digital Muse Effects Supervisor David Lombardi , who turned out to still have a partial database of digital models that Digital Muse had specifically constructed for Deep Space Nine . [3] [4] Years earlier, Lombardi had constructed a digital model of the Enterprise -E as Digital Muse's solicitation model for possible use in Star Trek: Insurrection , and it was his model that was used for the orthographic views in issues 21 and XL3 of the Collection , alongside the beauty views of the later Star Trek Nemesis version created by Digital Domain . (See: Sovereign -class model )
↑ Ben Robinson stated that he wrote the first magazines of this partwork in their entirety.
↑ Some of the designers' background art and material about starship design is based on archival material, and may have been previously published in the Fact Files and its derivatives.
↑ As identified online, Rob Bonchune has created 3D starship models and/or renders for issues 4, 10, 23, 24, 26-28, 30-32, 34, 37, 38, 40, 41, 48, 50, 55, 57, 60, 63, 65, 67, 71, 88, 93, 94, 98, 99, 102, 115, 117, 134, 154, 155, XL1, XL4, XL8, and Shuttlecraft Set 1. [5]
↑ CG models that Fabio Passaro's Meshweaver Productions has provided for the Collection , as identified online, include issues 12 (not a new build, but a re-rendered version of the Digital Muse model), 14, 20, 47, 54, 56, 61, 64, 73, 75, 79, 80, 85, 86, 91-93, 95, 96, 100, 104, 105, 108, 110, 114, 116, 118, 120, 122, 126, 127, 138, 143, 159, 161, M1, SP3, SP4, SP5, SP7, SP9, SP11, Bonus issues 05, 07, and 11, and Shuttle issues 05, 13, 14, 15 and 16. [6]
↑ Praised by Lebowitz for their high level of detail, Ed Giddings' pre-existing Centaur and Excelsior models, constructed for the canceled 2000 Unseen Frontier reference book project, were deemed as quite suitable for use in the Official Starships Collection , as was his 2010 spin-off build of the refitted Excelsior -class which he had built for Bonchune's USS Enterprise Owners' Workshop Manual reference book. [7] New or replacement CG models that Ed Giddings' Cgreactor has provided for the Collection , as identified online, include issues 8 , 40 , 42 , 46 , 52 , 59, 90, 98 , 103, 123, SP1 , Bonus issues 08 and 19, and XL issue 17.
↑ Magazine PDF versions of most of the main and sub collections can be found at Wikiban.com .
↑ Though some Standard Edition-only subscription services had initially been offered to international customers in those countries that had a dedicated Collection website, most were prematurely terminated due the early closure of these websites , leaving only the UK and north-American subscription services in place in the end. Only open to UK inhabitants for this collection at first, the service was eventually extended to selected categories of non-UK inhabitants, typically those from continental EU countries, for the Discovery and Universe follow-up starships collections as well. In hindsight, it became clear that the overall 2020 termination of subscription services for the Standard Edition was actually intended as a desperate cost-saving measure by the soon-to-be-bankrupt Eaglemoss.
↑ International release dates, invariably lagged behind those for the UK home maket, ranging from weeks to years in some rare cases. UK releases started to regularly experience delays beyond the release dates as planned by the company from early 2020 onward due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Brexit -inspired move of the company's warehouse and distribution centre from London, UK, to Waghäusel-Kirrlach, Germany, in early January 2021. (see also footnotes of main article ) It has resulted in a delay ripple effect for the international releases as well, since the UK release was leading for the others – even for Germany and the EU, somewhat ironically. The post-2020 release dates mentioned in all tables, are therefore indications of intention rather than the actual release dates. This applied to all partwork releases by the company.
↑ The cover of the XL Edition of the Akira -class gives a different "real" ship length of 440 meters long rather than 464.43 meters, resulting in a scale of 1:3667.
↑ The "real" Solar-Sailor's length is given as 49 meters on the Starfleet & the Federation scale chart included with the Star Trek: Shipyards - Starfleet & the Federation Box Set , and was published in late 2019. Scale was calculated from this figure, courtesy of Wixiban.com [8]
↑ The magazine states that the size of the Prometheus is 126 m (used for scaling here) but other sources (and its onsceen appearances) indicate that a more appropriate size for the ship is 415 m [9] , placing the scale at 1:2964. Courtesy of Wixiban.com [10]
↑ Scaling is based on an estimate of the armored Voyager set at a length of 360 metres (a 5% increase from the standard hull configuration), courtesy of Wixiban.com. [11]

↑ The original studio model of the Academy trainer craft bore a (too small to be seen on-screen) Cobra logo (from G.I. Joe ) as a nose marking. Hasbro , the owner of this design, "declined" Eaglemoss' request to use it for the starship model so a Red Squad logo was substituted.
↑ The dimensions of the Borg Queen's ship are not stated in the magazine. Scale is based on a length/beam of 820.4 m, as published in the Star Trek: Starship Spotter reference book.
↑ The remastered Eymorg ship's scale is based on an estimated length of 10 meters. Courtesy of Wixiban.com. [14]
↑ The scale of Arctic One was based on the magazine's cover which stated the ship's length was 80 meters. As the assimilated version of the vessel is also deemed by the earlier magazine to be the same length, this version would be more appropriately sized at 60 meters, placing the scale at 1:480.

↑ The length of the Warship Voyager was not stated in the magazine so it was estimated at 348 meters long. Courtesy of Wixiban.com. [16]
↑ A more appropriate length for the "real" Vaadwaur Fighter appears to be about 24 meters, placing the scale at 1:209. However, the stated length from the magazine was used here.
↑ According to a scale chart later created by the show's VFX supervisors, the Federation Tug is approximately 66 meters long, placing the scale at 1:733. [17] However, the stated length from the magazine was used here.
↑ Although the magazine cover states that the "real" T'Pau is 470 meters long, the 142.5 meter length printed on the poster included with Eaglemoss' Star Trek: Shipyards - Starfleet & the Federation Box Set was used for scaling here, as it appears to more accurately reflect the ships seen on-screen. Courtesy of Wixiban.com. [18]
↑ The Fesarius' scale was based on an estimated diameter of 2,080 meters. The magazine's cover states the "real" vessel's diameter is "more than 1.6 km". Courtesy of Wixiban.com. [19]
↑ As the lengths of the "real" USS Excelsior concept designs are not stated in the magazines, scale was based on the final ship's length of 467 meters. Courtesy of Wixiban.com. [20]
↑ The size of the "real" D'Vahl is not stated in the magazine so scale was based on an estimated length of 30 meters. Courtesy of Wixiban.com. [21]
↑ The sticker on the base of the Nebula -class USS Melbourne model's stand has "USS Nebula (Prototype)" printed on it.
↑ Like the other Nebula class variants, the USS Melbourne 's magazine states that the "real" ship is 442.23 meters long, placing the scale of this model at 1:3810, which is used here. However, due to the ship's extended hull and other configuration differences, Ex Astris Scientia's estimated length of 535 meters would more appropriately set the scale at 1:4612. [22]
↑ As the lengths of the "real" USS Excelsior concept designs are not stated in the magazines, scale was based on the final ship's length of 467 meters. Courtesy of Wixiban.com. [23]

↑ The scale of the Karemma starship model was calculated using the Star Trek Fact Files ' stated length of 380 meters for the "real" ship, as the ship's length was not provided in the issue. Courtesy of Wixiban.com. [26]
↑ Erroneously, the sticker on the bottom of the Tamarian Deep Space Cruiser model's stand has "Karemma Starship" printed on it. A corrected sticker was sent to UK subscribers with issue 175.
↑ A design chapter is listed for pages 10-11, which however, is not featured in the magazine.
↑ Kes' "real" shuttle was estimated as 30 meters long for scaling purposes by Wixiban.com, the length of a previous incarnation of the ship when it appeared in 'Drive', as the ship's length was not provided in the magazine. [27]
↑ The "real" Denobulan Medical Ship was estimated as 23 meters long for scaling purposes by Wixiban.com, as the ship's length was not provided in the magazine. Courtesy of Wixiban.com. [28]
↑ The "real" Xindi-Insectoid Scout was estimated as 140 meters long for scaling purposes by Wixiban.com, based on a concept drawing in the magazine, as the ship's length was not provided in the issue. [29]
↑ Courtesy of Wixiban.com, the scaling of Archer's "real" toy ship was calculated using an estimated length of half a meter, as information about the toy's dimensions was not provided in the magazine. The "real" spaceship that the "in-universe" toy ship was based upon was estimated by Wixiban at 18 meters long, which would place the scale of the Eaglemoss replica at 1:200. [30]
↑ As no information is included in the magazine, the scale of the Vidiian Starship model was calculated using a length of 500 meters for the "real" ship, as estimated by Ex Astris Scientia. [31]
↑ The company has created new CG models for the Bonus Edition fleet ships from the Kelvin Timeline because the films' producers could not locate some of the original CG files within their archives.
↑ The Bonus Edition issue numbers and sequence shown here were provided by Eaglemoss UK in October 2019, are substantially revised from earlier versions, and do not necessarily list the ships in the order of actual release.
↑ The Future USS Enterprise -D model was first released on 28 November 2013 as a gift premium for subscribers and later became available to the general public exclusively from company webshops. A magazine was not included.
↑ A model of the apocryphal SS Yorktown model premiered at the New York Comic-Con and the Destination Star Trek Europe conventions in October 2016. [32] (X) Subscribers were able to purchase it at a discount [33] (X) and some remaining "limited stock" was retailed as a webshop exclusive. [34] (X) [35] (X) In total, 5,000 models were produced as a limited edition and a magazine was not included.
↑ Following a successful online fan petition championed by The Trek Collective and Geekology , [36] (X) models of the USS Titan (which primarily appears in Star Trek novels, video games and calendars, but made its first canon appearance in the Star Trek: Lower Decks episode " No Small Parts ") were produced. The original CGI model was designed by Sean Tourangeau and constructed by Ellery O'Connell , but the model was modified by Fabio Passaro for this collection. Project Manager Ben Robinson has later divulged that the Titan was considered an important release for Eaglemoss, as it was at the time the very first non-canon ship they released in the "Bonus Edition" side-collection. [37] Robinson had indicated at the time that, like with the preceding Yorktown issue, 5,000 copies was the minimum pre-sale number required for any petition to be successful, which was apparently achieved. [38] Unlike the preceding Yorktown issue, a magazine was now included.
↑ Following a successful online fan petition championed by The Trek Collective and Geekology , [39] (X) models of the USS Aventine (which primarily appears in Star Trek novels, video games and calendars) were produced. The ship saw a very limited retail release, outside of Eaglemoss sources. The CGI model was constructed by the ship's designer, Mark Rademaker .
↑ Andrew Probert's USS Enterprise -C concept design appeared (in profile) in a six-ship relief sculpture of vessels named USS Enterprise , displayed on a wall in the USS Enterprise -D's observation lounge .
↑ The scale of the USS Enterprise -C Probert concept model was calculated using Andrew Probert's scale chart, indicating that that the "real" ship was intended to be 1721 feet (or 525 m) long. [40] This information was not stated in the magazine.
↑ The length of the "real" Phase II USS Enterprise is not stated in the magazine so scale was calculated using Kennedy Shipyards' specifications, placing the length of the ship at 301.55 m. [41] Designed for use in Star Trek: The Motion Picture , Andrew Probert lengthened the Enterprise refit to a thousand feet (304.8 m), "just a few feet longer than it was", in reference to Matt Jefferies' Phase II ship dimensions. Computer screens also displayed the Phase II Enterprise design in the first two Star Trek films . ( Designing a refit- Enterprise for Phase II )
↑ The USS Defiant model features phosphorescent paintwork to simulate the starship's appearance when it became trapped in Interphase . Chronologically, it was the seventh Bonus issue released but it is identified as the tenth in Eaglemoss' catalogs.
↑ Scale of the "real" Voyager concept ship was based on a length of 1,250 feet (381 m), as stated by Rick Sternbach on the Unofficial STSS Facebook page on 28 September 2018. [42]
↑ Following a successful online fan petition championed by The Trek Collective and Geekology , [43] (X) models of the USS Bonaventure , which originated in the 2006 Ships of the Line calendar and its book derivatives , were produced. The CGI model was constructed by the ship's designer, Meni Tsirbas .
↑ The length of the "real" Bonaventure is not stated in the magazine so scale was based on an estimate of 265 meters. Courtesy of Wixiban.com. [44]
↑ Both Enterprise -F models included an A5-sized printed insert bearing a code for a free Tier-5 Odyssey class ( β ) tactical cruiser and exclusive Ship Material and Ship Upgrade tokens for the Star Trek Online PC game. The magazines contain the same content but have different covers.
↑ A limited edition of 2500 cloaked (translucent resin) USS Defiant models debuted on 3 October 2019 at the New York Comic Con , and was also retailed on the 25th of the month at the Destination Star Trek convention in Birmingham, England. A smaller magazine (measuring 144 × 182 mm) is included within its windowbox package. [45] [46] [47] (X)
↑ The length of the "real" Conestoga is not stated in the magazine so scaling was based on an estimated length of 211 meters. Courtesy of Wixiban.com. [48]
↑ The length of the "real" Klingon D4 concept is not stated in the magazine so scaling was based on an estimated length of 145 meters, equal to that of the Klingon Raptor. Courtesy of Wixiban.com. [49]
↑ The diameter of the "real" Cardassian orbital weapons platform was not stated in the magazine and was estimated at 120 meters. Courtesy of Wixiban.com. [50]
↑ Tiny hull markings painted on the outer rim of the USS Reliant Concept's saucer (and behind its bridge) identify the model as the "USS Antares ", whereas its other hull markings are correct (for Reliant ).
↑ Starting in 2021, the Bonus Edition side collection dispensed with the packaging format of the standard edition which had just been suspended perminently previously, and went hencefort with the Collector's Editions packaging and magazine format from issue 26 onward as standard.
↑ 60.0 60.1 60.2 60.3 All scheduled, but cancelled Eaglemoss issue releases had already entered regular production when the company went bankrupt and commercial quantities in the 500/2000-copy range of the display model at least had actually been produced by the manufacturer in China before production had to cease. [51] [52] They were acquired from the administrators by (new) Master Replicas along with the regular remainder stock, and sold to the public after all through their webstore, starting in April 2023 with the XL edition of the USS Stargazer and the regular edition of the USS Vancouver from the main and Lower Decks collections respectively, [53] several of them selling out within a day. Third-party UK and Far Eastern eBay retailers who had managed to get their hands on a handful of these unreleased Eaglemoss issues previously – and selling them at hugely inflated prices – , had already reported that these previously unreleased models came without the magazine, they apparently not having entered the regular print-run yet by the time of the bankruptcy, [54] (X) a state of affairs confirmed later on by the ones marketed by Master Replicas. It turned out a short while later though, that in the cases of the unreleased Special and XL issues at least, digital magazine versions were actually completed. Master Replicas only included (physical) magazines if they had already been packaged with the model (which was for the previously released issues not always the case, explaining in the process the large stock of back issues), some of which in German, the only foreign language version (besides Japanese, which however fell under the auspices of DeAgostini) still being printed by the time Eaglemoss had gone bankrupt; an 100,000-copy magazine (back-)issue stock did exist at two printer-owned warehouses somewhere (possibly also holding magazines of the unreleased issues as well), but the printer refused to release them until debt owned by the bankrupt Eaglemoss was fulfilled in full. As the new formal (model) inventory owners, Master Replicas had entered into legal negotiations with the disgruntled printer and was able to resolve the issue in August 2023. [55] [56] [57] The sale of this magazine stock started on 26 December 2023. [58]
↑ 61.0 61.1 Originally announced as the Pralor vessel in the February 2019 survey . It was initially assumed by Master Replicas that neither model nor magazine for this issue had entered the manufacturing stage yet when Eaglemoss went bankrupt, as only a prototype model (in Pralor vessel livery) was included in an earlier batch of stock received from overseas. That prototype model became offered as a reward for the winner of an online competition Master Replicas ran on their Twitter account in July 2023. It was only afterwards that it was discovered that the model had actually entered regular production, and the company subsequently sold an uncovered 2000-copy Cravic ship variant stock on 1 September 2023. [59] Not only that, but a short while later a smaller stock of 500 Pralor warship variant models was also uncovered which had been intended as a model-only convention exclusive. It went on sale by ballot at a higher price point on 2 October with the proceeds earmarked for charity, though twenty copies turned out to have suffered transportation damage beyond salvation. [60]
↑ From the proposed 8th season of DS9 as seen in the What We Left Behind documentary and named for Emmett Till , a 14 year-old African-American boy who was lynched in 1955. Designed by John Eaves .
↑ The Special Edition Deep Space 9 model does not include a display stand.
↑ The length of the "real" USS Enterprise from the 2009 film was not stated in the magazine. The ship was designed to be 366 m long but was scaled up by a factor of two for some sequences. 725.35 m (used here to calculate scale) is the length indicated by the film's Blu-ray disc. [61]
↑ The magazine's cover states that the Kelvin is 315 m long (used here to calculate scale) but the ship was also scaled at 457.2 m and 655 m during the film's production.
↑ Diameter of K-7 is not stated in the magazine. Scale calculated using Ex Astris Scientia's estimated (approximate) diameter of 450 m. [62]
↑ Length of the USS Enterprise XCV-330 is not stated in the magazine. Scale calculated using the Star Trek Spaceflight Chronology 's stated length of 300 m.
↑ The length of the Klingon Warbird is not stated in the magazine so scale was calculated using an estimated length of 350 m, as indicated by Ex Astris Scientia. [63]
↑ The "real" Kobayashi Maru 's size is not stated in the magazine. Scale is based on Ex Astris Scientia's estimated length of 562 m. [64]
↑ Spacedock stands approximately 225 mm high when displayed on its stand.
↑ Scale derived from placing the "real" V'ger 's length (after shedding its energy cloud) at 78,000 km, as stated in the novelization and seen in a film outtake. The magazine cover states the vessel's length is 300 million km, placing the scale at 1:1363636363636. Courtesy of Wixiban.com. [65]
↑ The Planet Killer features internal electronic lighting, requiring two LR41 button cell batteries that are not included with the model.
↑ The Planet Killer model's scale was based on an estimated "real" length of 5 km. Courtesy of Wixiban.com. [66]
↑ A full-sized magazine (with a typo in its title) was included with the 18 karat gold-plated USS Enterprise -D model that was released in the UK. The model began to be retailed by the US e-shop on 23 December 2019 but did not include a magazine when first shipped. The model is enclosed in a Standard Edition box, within a printed outer sleeve that correctly identifies the product as the "Gold Model of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D".
↑ The size of the "real" Vulcan Warp Sled is not stated in the magazine so scaling was based on the 48 meter length printed on the poster included with Eaglemoss' Star Trek: Shipyards - Starfleet & the Federation Box Set . Courtesy of Wixiban.com. [67]
↑ Regula I stands approximately 225 mm high when displayed on its stand.
↑ 77.0 77.1 Starting with issue 25, a fifth magazine size dimension variant was introduced for the "Special Edition" sub-collection; the magazine was downsized from the hitherto regular large A4 format to the smaller 176 × 227 mm dimension in order to fit within the box packaging, just as the similar case would be with the Bonus Edition sub-collection later that year, though at 145 × 183 mm that magazine size variant would become even smaller. Collectors found themselves confronted with another magazine size variant yet again, and one for which, unlike most other size variants introduced after the Standard Edition was terminated, no binder was ever provided.
↑ The scale of the Son'a Collector was based on a "real" ship length of 5000 feet (1524 m), based on John Eaves' concept drawing, courtesy of Wixiban.com.
↑ The Eaglemoss version of the station differs in several respects from the one featured in DS9 : " Apocalypse Rising " (its only canon appearance) because of the artistic license taken with the production model; firstly, the elaborate antenna array on top is for the Eaglemoss version switched to the bottom, and secondly, a fourth, lower arm was added at the rear of the CGI model, which had never been there on the production-used studio model (see main article for further clarification), making this outing one of the most apocryphal and egregious – for a company that prides itself for its "accurate" representations of canon models, that is – renditions by Eaglemoss of a structure that has appeared in canon.
↑ Later reseller (new) Master Replicas has confirmed that this was the very last "Special Edition" issue to have entered production, with no others planned yet at that moment in time. [68] (X) This model too came without a magazine – even though a digital mock-up had actually already been completed [69] – , but 1250 of them were produced before the cessation of model production. [70] .
↑ The final production version of the XL USS Thunderchild model does not have the ship's name printed on the saucer, in line with the studio model's appearance in First Contact . Inadvertently, a small number of models were released (mainly to Brazil) that had purple-painted impulse engines instead of grey. [71]
↑ Scale was calculated based on the "real" Akira -class' length being placed at 440 meters, as is printed on the XL magazine's cover. A length of 464.43 meters, as is printed in the Standard Edition magazine, was not used here but would result in a scale of 1:2101. Courtesy of Wixiban.com. [72]
↑ The XL Edition Deep Space 9 model includes a display stand.
↑ The XL Edition USS Shenzhou model erroneously bears mirror universe Terran Empire markings on its nacelles, rather than Starfleet logos. Beginning with this issue, slightly smaller magazines (measuring 227 × 155 mm) were enclosed with all XL Edition models, now sized to fit within the boxes.
↑ The only time that no new render of the CG model was made for the cover; instead, the exact same render was used as the one used seven years earlier for regular issue 36.
↑ While (new) Master Replicas sold the model without the magazine, a digital magazine mock-up had actually already been completed. [73]
↑ The Limited Edition (XL) version of the 18-carat gold-plated USS Enterprise -D is identified as the "Gold USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D" on its box and the "USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D (Special)" on its stand's label. It was made available for pre-order from company webshops (with only 1000 copies available worldwide) as a convention exclusive for the New York Comic Con x MCM Comic Con Metaverse online event (8-11 October 2020), and was first shipped (in a premium "Best of" box) to US customers in January 2021 and to UK customers during the following month.
↑ The Limited Edition (XL) version of the 18-carat gold-plated USS Enterprise was made available for pre-order from company webshops (with only 500 copies available worldwide) in late April 2021.
↑ When (new) Master Replicas received its stock acquired from the Eaglemoss administrators, it was discovered that the model was produced in larger quantities than originally announced, coming in at roughly twice the number Eaglemoss said it would. [74] Master Replicas planned to sell them in two batches to the public after all through their webstore in May and July 2023, [75] though it was eventually decided to forego the two-batch sale and stick to an one-time-sale only format on 26 May after all, [76] and where it sold out within the hour. [77] This was the second model for which Master Replicas strictly adhered to its recent 1-copy/1-customer rule, which the company had conditionally instituted for specific items, [78] the first one having been the Enterprise -E XL3 issue. [79]
↑ The Type-7 shuttlecraft was constructed from Andrew Probert's concept design that appeared on LCARS displays, at the designer's request.
↑ The Med Evac shuttle model is marked as shuttle 43, a shuttle that didn't have a red livery in the film.
↑ In the second, third, and fourth editions of the Star Trek Encyclopedia , information about this Hawking was added to the entry about the original Type 7 Hawking while a diagram of a Type 6 shuttlecraft appeared alongside, which might explain the designation used here. Both the miniature and the full-sized shuttle used in Star Trek Generations for the Hawking were slight redresses of one of the Galileo -type shuttlecraft shuttles built for Star Trek V: The Final Frontier . The Type 6 was also originally constructed from another one of the Final Frontier shuttles.
↑ An early production run of this 2018 re-release erroneously omitted the USS Enterprise -B model and included the USS Enterprise -E model. Free replacement ships were provided to customers by the company.
↑ After the August 2022 Eaglemoss bankruptcy, (new) Master Replicas sold the stock of the Titan convention exclusive through their webstore in May 2023, divulging that a little over a 1,000 copies had been produced of this format version. [80] Ben Robinson had observed that a handful of copies had fallen into the hands of "scalpers" who sold them at hugely inflated prices on eBay. [81] Having eventually become canon in 2020 through Lower Decks though, was actually the very reason for its inclusion in the otherwise entirely canon Collector's Edition convention exclusive range.
↑ Distribution issues resulted in some subscribers receiving their gift premiums much later than the scheduled intervals indicated on the magazine's subscription sites. Nonetheless, the magazine's Terms and Conditions state that the company had the right to modify this schedule (and the gifts) unilaterally. For American and Canadian subscriptions, the gift premiums were scheduled for much later subscriber milestones than had been the case with all other territories.
↑ The bookends were previously released as a Star Trek Graphic Novel Collection gift premium and were added as gift premiums for new Starships Collection subscribers in September 2018.
↑ This enamel pin was previously released as a FanSets product and was added as a gift premium for new subscribers between June and August 2018.

Eaglemoss Star Trek regular binder variant

Variant standard binder

↑ Robinson had actually been mulling over the concept as far back as 2012 when he worked on the two ( Star Trek ) Owners' Workshop Manual s for Haynes Publishing , " I think the logical thing to do, and I haven’t even said this to Haynes, would be a Starfleet shipyard. I’m actually working on a collection of small model Star Trek ships. We’re collecting all the different CG models together as reference and then producing die-cast scale-model ships. These ships, like the Akira or… you can get much more obscure, like the Equinox or the Prometheus… they’re a big part of what makes the franchise cool for people, and there’s been remarkably little done about them. So if Haynes come back and say, “That went really well. What do we do next?” I think that’s what I would suggest to them. " [82] As it turned out, Haynes was not interested in Robinson's ideas, and what he had in mind eventually became the Eaglemoss Shipyards book series. In August 2020, Eaglemoss/Hero Collector released a similar shipyard book, entitled Battlestar Galactica Shipyards , that focused on spaceships from the Battlestar Galactica franchise ( ISBN 1858756111 ), whereas a second book, Battlestar Galactica: Designing Spaceships ( ISBN 1858758009 ), was announced for an initial release in July 2021, but which was postponed to 5 October 2021. [83] Like their Star Trek counterparts, both titles originate from magazines articles first published in its related partwork from the same publisher.
↑ Since it first became available, the "Federation & Alien" (left) binder has been retailed continuously by the company's German webshop and was still in stock as late as 2021 – albeit language-adapted. [84]
↑ Aside from those countries where it had entered into joint ventures with established outside publishing partners (such as De Agostini in Japan), Eaglemoss has utilized Data Base Factory for its customer service, distribution, translation, and editorial services for the UK and non-English language areas. Data Base Factory is now a subsidiary of CCA International Inc.
↑ The company's discontinuation of non-English-language magazine releases were accompanied with not only the closure of the relevant official websites that had operated since the debut of the Collection in non-English territories, but also with the (premature) termination of subscription services in the foreign-language territories those websites had covered.
↑ In conjunction with the expansion from seventy to ninety issues, Robinson later confirmed that former Star Trek Producer Dave Rossi had made the entire starship database of the remastered Original Series available to the publication. [85] From this acquisition, Robinson scored a coup for his project as it constituted the first time that the remastered Original Series ships, particularly those specifically constructed for the production, [86] were made available for products produced for the general public. This availability enabled Robinson to incorporate several of these into the starships lineup past issue 50 (including issues 60 and 63) and the run increase enabled him to slate more for release in later issues. [87] Rob Bonchune contributed new meshes for issues 57 (though strictly speaking, this was Bonchune revisiting the model he had already constructed for Robinson in 1999 which had made its debut in Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 1, Issue 4 ) and 62 , as the remastered TOS CG models had not reached Robinson by the time the models were first required. However, these models were not quite production-ready, as CBS Digital had used Autodesk Maya software for their CGI effects at the time and the models needed to be converted into LightWave 3D , the software package of choice for the vast majority of Star Trek digital modelers. Robinson assigned Fabio Passaro, among others, to this chore. [88] Ironically, CBS Digital had originally bought the majority of the "hero" ship models from Finnish digital modeler Petri Blomqvist but had to convert them to Maya as he had constructed his models in LightWave. ( Sci-fi & fantasy modeller , Vol. 26, p. 48-50) If his models were to be used (such as for the planned Terran Empire Enterprise extra issue), then they need to be reconverted back into LightWave.
↑ Following an unsuccessful search and appeal to a number of past Star Trek production artists, it appeared that the original CG models created for Star Trek: Insurrection and Star Trek Nemesis have been lost, necessitating Robinson's decision to commission all-new models for the Collection . [89] [90] Robinson has also commented that some existing models might be in file formats that require computer software that no longer exists, sometimes due to the use of proprietary 3D software in the past. In addition, subsequent upgrades to LightWave software has resulted in alterations to the current appearance of some production-used models, as some legacy features (including some shaders) are no longer supported.
↑ Both incarnations of the Adam / McQuarrie -designed Planet of the Titans USS Enterprise study models (that were briefly seen on-screen as unidentified background ships) were slated for production as miniatures (with new CG models created by Eaglemoss) but after years without change in their licensing status by the licensor, Ben Robinson conceded that they "probably won't happen" due to legal ambiguities.
