Acamarian


Ship

General description

This type of ship is equipped with a twin phaser array and shields, but no threat to a Federation Galaxy class.
Article: Redresses of the Mondor

Known ships

No name given
 

Annotations

The Acamarian ship owned by the rogue "Gatherer" faction of Chorgan from TNG: "The Vengeance Factor" is the first re-use of the Pakled ship from TNG: "Samaritan Snare". There are no obvious modifications to the miniature. Only the color was changed to bluish gray, probably just through the lighting or post-processing. The two might be the same design.

Andorian


Escape pod

General description

No details of the Andorian escape pod are known instead that it probably fits into the launch bay of the NX class.

Known shuttles

No name given
 

Annotations

The pod was used in "Proving Ground" and could be briefly seen at the end of the episode when Archer returned to Enterprise. It is possible that the model re-uses parts of the CGI of the big Andorian warship.

Kumari

General description

The Andorian warships are apparently a match for Vulcan combat cruisers. They are equipped with tractor beams and have a cargo hold or shuttlebay on the underside which may be shielded to hold radiating cargo.
Gallery: Major Alien Ships of the 22nd Century

Known ships

Kumari
 

Annotations

  1. These Andorian starships could be seen in ENT: "Cease Fire", "Proving Ground", "Zero Hour", "Kir'Shara" and in the Andorian trilogy beginning with "Babel One". In "Kir'Shara" they appeared to be considerably smaller than the Vulcan ships of the D'Kyr type, which are consistent at some 600m. A size chart by CGI wizard Rob Bonchune reveals that the ships is supposed to be 360m long. This is reasonable and would give us a deck height of about 3.5m.
  2. Shran stated in "Babel One" that his ship was the first of her class. This is why we can refer to it as Kumari class. The name honors the first ice cutter to circumnavigate Andoria. The crew complement of (only) 86 is from this episode too.

Class specifications

Length: approx. 360m
Crew complement: 86

 


Ship type 2

General description

The type, size or capabilities of these vessels remain unknown. We only know that they are equipped with beam weapons.

Known ships

No name given
 

Annotations

The second type of Andorian vessels could be seen in ENT: "Kir'Shara", approaching the site of the battle alongside the already familiar Kumari-class warships (above). None of these ships was shown up close. The design is essentially a re-use of the Valakian sublight ship from ENT: "Dear Doctor", but now with elongated wings, blue engines and a hull color as on the Kumari. It looks like the ship type 2 is smaller than the Kumari.

Class specifications

Angosian


Escape pod

General description

The Angosian transport vessel carries this type of small escape pods. At least one of them is stored in the ship's engineering section.

Known shuttles

No name given
 

Annotations

The escape pod (TNG: "The Hunted") was later re-used as Bok's probe in TNG: "Bloodlines". Since the escape pod was barely recognizable, we are able to deny the similarity.

Class specifications

Length: approx. 7m

 


Transport vessel

General description

This is a lightly armed sublight vessel for use inside the Angosian system. Its engineering section can be detached and operate separately.
Article: Redresses of the Straleb Vessel

Known ships

No name given
 

Annotations

The Angosian vessel is a modification of the Straleb vessel from TNG: "The Outrageous Okona" with an additional aft section (the detachable part). The same model was used for the ship in which Roga Danar escaped as well as for the police shuttle that was to take over the captured Danar. Stock footage of the transport vessel will reappear as the Dorian in TNG: "Man of the People".

Class specifications

Length: approx. 110m

 


Tube system

General description

The planet Angosia III has a system of trains running in transparent tubes.

Known vehicles

No name given
 

Annotations

A tube with a moving light inside, obviously representing a train, can be seen in the cityscape on Angosia III.

Class specifications

None available

 

Arkonian


Patrol shuttle

General description

The Arkonian patrol shuttle is armed with two pulse cannons.
Article: Redresses of Alice

Known shuttles

No name given
 

Annotations

  1. The Arkonian shuttle appeared in ENT: "Dawn". The vessel may be warp-capable, but more likely it was released from the Arkonian warship to intercept Trip's shuttle. It was also him who called the shuttle a "patrol ship", which was obviously an overstatement.
  2. The CG model previously appeared as "Alice" in VOY: "Alice". It was modified for the Arkonian shuttle, such as with smaller side windows. We couldn't see the full-scale mock-up very clearly in the ENT episode, but there are slight discrepancies when compared to the CG version. We can assume the shuttle is still the same size as "Alice".

Class specifications

Length: approx. 5m

 


Warship

General description

The capabilities of the Arkonian warship remain unknown.
Article: Redresses of the Arkonian Warship
Gallery: Other Alien Ships of the 22nd Century

Known ships

No name given
 

Annotations

The Arkonian warship showed up in ENT: "Dawn". The Arkonians acquired warp drive 100 years ago, according to T'Pol.

Class specifications

Length: approx. 250m

Axanar


Cargo vessel

General description

Nothing is known about this Axanar ship except that it seems to be a cargo vessel.
Gallery: Other Alien Ships of the 22nd Century

Known ships

No name given
 

Annotations

This Axanar vessel fell victim to the unidentified "bodysuckers" in ENT: "Fight or Flight".

Class specifications

Crew complement: 15

 


Rescue vessel

General description

This Axanar vessel is comparably well-armed.

Known ships

No name given
 

Annotations

The second Axanar vessel appeared towards the end of ENT: "Fight or Flight". While the weapons of Enterprise (prior to the installation of phase cannons) were no help against the huge ship of the "bodysuckers", the beam weapons of the Axanar were capable of penetrating their shields. The second Axanar ship shares a lineage with the first one, but the essential parts, like the command section, the central section and the engines are different.

Class specifications

Boreal III


Kallisko type

General description

No further details are known about this type of freighter which is equipped with warp and impulse propulsion and with low-level particle phasers.
Article: Redresses of the Husnock Ship

Known ships

Kallisko
 

Annotations

The Kallisko's crew was killed by the crystalline entity in TNG: "Silicon Avatar". All shots of the ship are stock footage of the Kivas Fajo's Jovis from TNG: "The Most Toys", so it is obviously the same type as a Zibalian freighter.

Class specifications

Freighter
Length: approx. 250m

 

Boslic


Cargo vessel

General description

This is a relatively large cargo vessel.
Article: Redresses of Jaheel's Ship

Known ships

No name given
 

Annotations

  1. Jaheel was the stubborn captain of this ship who ignored the quarantine in DS9: "Babel" and tried to escape with his ship, thereby overloading the engines. His race or affiliation was not mentioned in the episode, but a comparison with the Boslic captain in "Sons of Mogh" demonstrates that Jaheel was a Boslic too.
  2. The model looks like a ship that had been built by Kenneth Larson for "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" (external link), with some modifications to make it look bigger. Curiously the miniature of Jaheel's ship was the basis for the CGI of Neelix's shuttle.

Class specifications

Length: approx. 300m

 


Freighter

General description

Boslic freighters are relatively small ships with characteristic diagonal "wings".
Article: Redresses of the Talarian Warship

Known ships

No name given
 

Annotations

The Boslic freighter was docked to Deep Space 9 in DS9: "Sons of Mogh". Since the Talarian patrol ship and warship look like closely related designs, the various later incarnations of the characteristic warships may be of Talarian origin. They are mostly used as freighters or science ships, though. All takes of the Boslic ship are stock footage of the Valerian freighter Sherval Das from DS9: "Dramatis Personae", so at least these two designs must be identical.

Class specifications

Freighter
Length: approx. 230m

Coppelius aka Ghulion IV


Orchid

General description

Orchids are orbital defense weapons that attach themselves to ships and drain them of power.

Known drones

No name given
 

Annotations

  1. The technology of the orchids, seen in PIC: "Et in Arcadia Ego I/II", remains a mystery.
  2. While the idea of space flowers is a bit silly anyway, it remains totally implausible how just three of them can drain a Borg cube of all power.

Class specifications

None available

 

Coridan


Fighter

General description

The Coridan fighter is a fixed-wing aircraft with better atmospheric maneuverability than a standard-issue shuttlepod.

Known aircrafts

No name given
 

Annotations

The Coridan fighter appeared in ENT: "Shadows of P'Jem".

Class specifications

None available

 

Corvallen


Freighter

General description

The Corvallen freighter is a small and slow interplanetary vessel with no or ineffective armament.
Article: Redresses of the Straleb Vessel
Article: The Antares Class(es)

Known ships

No name given
 

Annotations

A Corvallen freighter was destroyed by a Romulan Warbird in TNG: "Face of the Enemy". The whole appearance of the ship is stock footage of the Straleb vessel from TNG: "The Outrageous Okona", partially mounted into a Romulan viewscreen. Therefore, as opposed to the incorrect drawings in the Fact Files, there is no difference between the two ships. Between the two episodes the studio model had been modified to become the Angosian ship (see above).

Class specifications

Freighter
Length: approx. 150m
Crew complement: 18

 

Cytherian


Probe

General description

This is an autonomous probe, equipped to modify either technology or brain functions in a way to show alien civilizations the way to the Cytherian homeworld. Irregularly shaped channels on the surface light up when the probe is activated. The probe is impervious to phaser fire. Its propulsion system is unknown, it exhibits neither particle emissions nor subspace distortions.

Known probes

No name given
 

Annotations

The probe appeared in TNG: "The Nth Degree". The Cytherian homeworld is presumably located in the center of the galaxy (which could be in any of the four quadrants, strictly speaking).

Class specifications

None available

 

Dekendi


Shuttle



Shuttle (color variant)

General description

Nothing is known on this shuttle.

Known shuttles

No name given
 

Annotations

A brownish shuttle transferred Feezal, one of Phlox's wives, to Enterprise. It was most likely a shuttle of the planet Dekendi III where the conference was taking place. Another, rather gray shuttle of the same type could be seen on the ground. It was a bad choice to re-use the early Ferengi ship, which had been said to be of an unknown design. Clearly the two may not be related.

Class specifications

None available

 


Train system

General description

The planet Dekendi III seems to have a train system of unknown type.

Known vehicles

No name given
 

Annotations

The rails leading to the conference hall point to the existence of a train system.

Class specifications

None available

 

Denobulan


Shuttle

General description

The shuttle was seen on a landing approach on Ceti Alpha V around 2166.
Article: Redresses of the Mazarite Shuttle

Known shuttles

No name given
 

Annotations

  1. The shuttle appeared in a parallel reality in ENT: "Twilight", and it was implied that it carried Phlox to Ceti Alpha V. The origin of the design is uncertain, but since he came directly from Denobula, it is most likely Denobulan. It may well exist in a better future too. The model appears to be a re-use of the Mazarite shuttle.
  2. Another shuttle that previously transferred Phlox's wife Feezal from Dekendi III (see above) to Enterprise was a re-use of the early Ferengi ship, the Ferengi being an unknown race at that time. It would only unnecessarily complicate the matter if we claimed this was another Denobulan vessel.

Class specifications

None available

 


Medical ship

General description

The small ship is equipped to react to distress calls.

Known ships

Barzai
 

Annotations

  1. Clearly the large bridge set and the cockpit window visible from outside indicate that this is a ship of more than 20m length and more than one deck, yet it looks smaller than the bridge section of the Klingon BoP when the two ships meet for the first time in ENT: "Cold Station 12". But to make things much worse, when Soong and the Augments escape from CS-12 with 1800 embryos, the Denobulan medical ship approaches the shuttlebay at the rear end of the BoP, and now it seems to be just a few meters wide as if it were a shuttle. Whether such a ship with the required capacity could land in the BoP's shuttlebay at all is highly doubtful, as the Denobulan ship has to be considerably larger than a humpback whale and the pre-TOS BoP is evidently the same size as its 23rd century counterpart. The vessel's vertical orientation is the ultimate obstacle. This is a severe blunder not only in the VFX but already in the plot. There are likely more crew members than just the pilot (why else would it need several seats on the bridge?).
  2. The Denobulan medical ship looks a bit like the Triannon vessel (both are vertically oriented and share some of their lines) but is a different design.

Class specifications

None available

 

Ekosian


Rocket

General description

The regime on the planet Ekos is using this type of interplanetary nuclear missiles.

Known missiles

No name given
 

Annotations

  1. The Ekosian missile appeared in TOS: "Patterns of Force". The footage is of a German V-2 rocket (quite purposely, seeing how the planet is modeled after Nazi Germany). Only that the V-2 was neither carrying an atomic warhead nor did it have interplanetary capability.
  2. In the remastered episode we can see a CGI rocket from a distance on the Enterprise's viewscreen instead of just a red light. It is unknown whether the CGI model is an authentic reproduction of a V-2.

Class specifications

Interplanetary nuclear missile

 

El-Aurian


Star killer

General description

This weapon incorporates a trilithium warhead capable of disrupting the fusion process inside a star. It is warp-capable.

Known probes

No name given
 

Annotations

  1. The weapon launched launched by Soran in "Star Trek Generations" to destroy the Veridian sun must be warp-capable to arrive at the star in a matter of minutes. Well, this still doesn't explain why the star, as seen from the planet, turns black immediately upon its impact.
  2. Soran's weapon is listed here although there is clearly no El-Aurian authority any longer. We can assume that El-Auria is located somewhere at the far end of the Beta Quadrant.

Class specifications

Length: approx. 3m

 

Eminiar VII


Train system

General description

Nothing is known about this apparent public transportation system.

Known vehicles

No name given
 

Annotations

Among other changes and refinements, two previously non-existent tracks of what appears to be a system of hovertrains were inserted into the matte painting of Eminiar VII for TOS-R: "A Taste of Armageddon".

Class specifications

None available

 

Enolian


Patrol ship

General description

Enolian patrol ships clearly outgun a prisoner transport.
Gallery: Other Alien Ships of the 22nd Century

Known ships

No name given
 

Annotations

Two of the patrol ships, just as all other Enolian vessels, appeared in ENT: "Canamar".

Class specifications

None available

 


Prison transport

General description

This is a small ship carrying prisoners to Enolian detention colonies. There is apparently only one inhabited deck on which the prisoners are sitting in rows like on an ancient galley. The ship has at least three aft cannons, but is weakly armed compared to patrol ships.

Known ships

No name given
 

Annotations

The prison transport could be seen in ENT: "Canamar". Archer and Tucker managed to disable the pursuing patrol ships by opening the aft plasma vents and igniting the plasma.

Class specifications

Length: approx. 70m
Crew complement: 3, plus 16 prisoners

 


Shuttle

General description

This small warp-capable vessel is armed with forward and aft particle cannons and could be overwhelmed with ease by Enterprise NX-01.
Article: Redresses of the Mazarite Shuttle

Known shuttles

No name given
 

Annotations

The shuttle could be seen in ENT: "Canamar". It was not explicitly stated to be an Enolian design, but would very likely be one, considering that the Enolian Kuroda was supposed to be freed with this vessel. It looks like the design is a modification of the Mazarite shuttle with additional hull details.

Class specifications

Length: approx. 30m

 

Eymorg


Ion drive ship



Ion drive ship (TOS-R)

General description

The Eymorg vessel is equipped with an advanced propulsion system compared to Federation technology.

Known ships

No name given
 

Annotations

  1. The ship appeared in TOS: "Spock's Brain". It was a poor choice to call the propulsion system an "ion drive", since such a technology (which will be available in the real world soon) would not provide FTL capability. There must be something else about it to make a so equipped ship even faster than with conventional warp drive. On the other hand, it was correct in the episode that such an engine would leave a trail of charged particles that could be tracked.
  2. The ship must be more than 10,000 years old, considering that the Eymorg wouldn't have the technical knowledge to build it. It must also be a miracle of easy maintenance, considering the Eymorg have absolutely no idea how their technology works.
  3. I wonder if the modeler who built this vessel was aware of what it looks like (it was in the 1960s after all). Or could it have been an intentional in-joke, the Eymorg being a female-only civilization? ;-)
  4. The Eymorg ship was completely redesigned for TOS-R to a ball with attached engine pods. The rationale, according to CBS: "...The comparison between the original and the remastered version provides two totally different looks, with styles defined more by the contemporary technology. The original is a standard rocket-shaped configuration. At the time, 'spaceships' tended to fall into a one of two classic looks, the other being the flying saucer. The new, remastered version of the ion propulsion craft is smaller and more utilitarian, reflecting its single-person occupancy, and it ditches the unnecessary missile/rocket configuration. The design also reflects more modern-day ion propulsion prototypes." Aside from avoiding the dildo comparison, this official justification neglects that, with its rocket pods modeled after 21st century ion drive concepts, the remastered ship actually looks rather outdated than the original, and not at all like the highly advanced vessel that the script called for. Also, it is notable that "rockets" are a rarity in TOS and have appeared in larger numbers only lately in Star Trek Enterprise.

Class specifications

Age: more than 10,000 years
