STAR TREK

Space....the Final Frontier....you know the rest! These are my canon and non-canon Star Trek drawings, including designs from FASA's old Starship Combat game as well as Star Fleet Battles. Primarily I've drawn Federation ships. Excellent reference sites include the Starship Schematic Database and Ex AstrisScientia. SFB Nexus is an outstanding site for 3D SFB artwork. The Starfleet Museum is also and outstanding site.

Multiple Eras

Constitution Class Design Evolution Probably one of the most recognized starships in Sci Fi history, the Constitutions were the workhorses of the Federation. This chart shows the evolution of the design from the original model from the late 2240's up through the final upgrade nearly 50 years later. The Testbed is my own design for a prototype for the Enterprise Class, the configuration wasn't as good as the final Enterprise design, so the only ship built to that plan was rebuilt to the Enterprise configuration. The final version of the Enterpriseclass is FASA's upgraded version with rear photons and phasers.

Larson Class Design Evolution A FASA design for a Federation Destroyer. Both the original and upgraded models are shown.

Loknar Class Frigate Another FASA design.

Nelson Class Scout From FASA.

Movie Era

Adamant Class Dreadnought Drawn by Mischa Campen. Originally from the Starfleet Prototypes book, the Adamant is a dreadnought version of the Miranda, with a small secondary hull added to mount the warp drives.

Federation Class Dreadnought Drawn by Mischa Campen. An upgrade of the old Federation class Dreadnought.

Ascension Class Dreadnought Drawn by Mischa Campen. Originally from the Starfleet Prototypes book, et. al. Basically a Drednought version of the Belknap.

Starstalker Class Dreadnought Upgrade Drawn by Mischa Campen. A possible upgrade for the Starstalker Class cruiser, adding a third nacelle.The Secondary hull is redesigned, with the configuration of the existing nacelles being modified to one similar to the Belknap Class.

ADREFT Avenger Class Design Refit Drawn by Mischa Campen. From the book "Starship Design". An attempt to create a Dreadnought version of the Avenger, with a third warp nacelle being added between the two existing nacelles. The design was a failure, with poor warp dynamics, and the third nacelle's support structures and machinery took up valuable cargo and shuttle space in the main hull.

Belknap Class Cruiser Drawn by Mischa Campen. A smaller cruiser, compared to the Enterprise.

Archangel Class Carrier Drawn by Mischa Campen. From the Starfleet Prototypes book. A large shuttle carrier, slow and sluggish, but equipped with numerous fighters and shuttles.

Tarawa Class Assault Transport My design for a large assault carrier. Plenty of shuttles and transporters to get the troops and equipment on the ground with the utmost speed!

S'Harien Class Battlecruiser Drawn by Mischa Campen. From the Starfleet Prototypes book, the S'Harien is an upgrade of the MenhagaClass, with a redesigned secondary hull for better performance. The "pod" beneath the hull is interchangable, allowing for a multitude of roles. The basic troop pod and a smaller weapons pod are shown, as is the "Flight II" version, with additional photon torpedo launchers below the bridge.

Starstalker Class Heavy Cruiser Drawn by Mischa Campen. From Starfleet Prototypes. Heavily armed, the Starstalkeris a pure warship, with multiple photon torpedo launchers fore and aft, along with a unique secondary hull design intended to make it resistant to enemy fire, being composed of angled "slab" sides, instead of a rounded design.

Excelsior Class Cruiser Both the original and "Enterprise-B" versions are shown.

Surya/Miranda Class Cruisers The Surya is from Star Station Aurora and was intended to be the early version of the Reliant, aka Miranda Class.

Mahan Class Cruiser My design for a light to medium cruiser. The two engine nacelles are arranged in a "T" pattern with weapons pod between them.

Nicks Class Exploration Cruiser My design for a long-duration exploration cruiser.

Ranger Class Light Cruiser Drawn by Mischa Campen. From Starfleet Prototypes.

Thruxton Class Tactical Cruiser Drawn by Mischa Campen. From Starfleet Prototypes. Designed to present the minimum silhouette possible from the bow, the Thruxton is well armed with fore and aft photons, port and starboard megaphasers, and traditional phasers.

Dupleix Class Perimeter Action Ship Drawn by Mischa Campen. From Starfleet Prototypes. The unusual twin nacelle design was intended to provide maximum speed and acceleration, though at a loss in maneuverability.

Pharris Class Frigate Drawn by Mischa Campen. From Starfleet Prototypes.

Knox Class Frigate Drawn by Mischa Campen. From Starfleet Prototypes.

Chandley Class Frigate A FASA design.

Shiva Class Destroyer Drawn by Mischa Campen. From Starfleet Prototypes. Basically the upgraded version of the Saladin.

Monoceros Class Scout Drawn by Mischa Campen. From Starfleet Prototypes. Basically the upgraded version of the Hermes.

Oberth Class Scout The ill-fated Grissom from ST3, and a common site on TNG and DS9.

Favorite Class Tug My design, named for a famous Great Lakes salvage tug from the early 20th Century (feels weird referring to the 20th Century in the past tense!)

Belfast Class Cruiser By Mackie A compact cruiser design, eventually refitted

Lochness Class cruiser By Mackie Fast, agile cruiser.

Constitution-X By Mackie a heavily modified Constitution class cruiser.

Tremorian By Mackie Designed for speed above all else, its lacks agility and firepower.

Raymond Anders has sent me a side-view drawing of his "States" class Troop Cruiser, based on the Starstalker. He also sent a color picture of the ship underway. Raymond's website has complete deck plans for the "States" and numerous other starship designs. Quite a nice site!

Akagi Class and Chuck Yeager Class from John Groves

Dragon Class Dreadnought by Bill Simpson Based on a combination of the Starstalker and States Class starships, the Dragon is heavily armed with five phaser banks on the primary hull top and five phaser banks bottom, two quad phaser banks along the bottom of the secondary hull, and two phasers over the secondary hull docking bay. There are two docking bays on the primary hull. There are four torpedo tubes forward and four aft on the secondary hull.
