In the 25th century….

And she is done.
Will adjust the details for the 1701-D version which I will be available on my etsy from today. On request, so that CBS don’t get all uppity.

For anyone just stumbling on this, the specs above are due to this Galaxy Class being a Dominion War build, which was later stripped down and completely refitted and upgraded with the best tech available at the time. This included new warp coils, new warp core, the latest structural integrity systems and inertial damping. All this allows for the Saturn to basically fly like an over ground Intrepid class, and then some. While she may look like the 1701-D. She is much faster and more powerful.

“But actually, the Galaxy class can only go x warp. It only has 1650 max Cochranes…. etc etc”

– Well, I strongly believe a Galaxy Class that was built and launched almost 20 years after the prototype would not be identical, but superior. It would incorporate all the lessons learned form the earlier builds. The Arleigh Burke class destroyers are a prime example of this. 70 built and not one of them identical to the next. They all have their little or even large differences.

Furthermore, this class of starship was designed to undergo upgrades and updates. It’s frame life is supposed to be 100 years at least.

You don’t push a ship out of drydock and then never upgrade it.

It’s all in the detail

So, before I get lots of people telling me a Galaxy class is “slower than that”, “doesn’t have that much power” etc, etc. This MSD is first of the U.S.S. Saturn. She was completed just before the dominion war and outfitted for it. Post war she went into drydock for a complete tear down and refit. During which time she was given the latest model of warp core, structural systems, warp coils etc. The result being the numbers show here.

Of course, it means for a 1701-D MSD I’d need to revert to tech manual numbers, with a little embellishment to allow for her 8 years of service improvements (We see her get at least one new warp core)

Sneak peak

Exclusive sneak peak for the loyal subscribers here. The 25th Century LCARS version of my Galaxy Class MSD. All new interior objects and details. And of course a new colour scheme to match the LCARS in the Picard series. Still a WIP.

It’s S/COMS not Movie LCARS

I was having a talk with the LCARS wizard Mike Okuda and asked him if there was an official name for what everyone calls “Movie LCARS”. You know, the blues and greens we see on 1701-A and B (and also on C in “Yesterday’s Enterprise”
He said he would regard them as an evolution of the operating system on the NX-01 – S/COMS. Spacecraft operations management system.
Works for me.


I just finished a couple of panels for an upcoming fan film. Here there are for you to enjoy.

First steps

I thought I had posted this here when I first completed it, but, I can’t find it.
So, here it is

This is the Conestoga class colony ship. Mentioned in ST Enterprise. I believe Doug Drexler designed it. When I posted it on a star trek fan page on Facebook he gave it a like. Now, he either did like it or was just being diplomatic, as he always is. But hey… the Drex has seen it! Enjoy

Something’s cookin’

All good things, maybe?

By popular demand, here is the Galaxy X type. A fully detailed version is still a WIP.
But this is an Engineering style MSD with all major systems landmarks and a more technical looking read out.

Another complete commission

I was contacted by someone via my ETSY store. They wanted an Intrepid Class MSD, but not the standard one as seen on screen (which I have replicated). They wanted theirs based on these plans: http://cydonia6.com/intrepid.html

So, I did just that.

(Note: I have altered the LCARS, ship’s name and registry and several interior spaces to differentiate this from the commissioned work and also align it to known Treknology requirements.)

What’s cookin’?

Can you tell what it is yet?

For I dipped into the future…

Working on a fan film and doing some 29th century graphics. Essentially making this up as I go seeing as we know very little about this interface design, which is simultaneously freeing and stressful! This is the helm and conn console for a ship roughly Runabout sized.
