	Annotations When the Discovery sets out to rescue the inhabitants of Radvek V in 3190 in DIS: "The Examples", the Emerald Chain technically doesn't exist any more and the colony is self-governed.	Class specifications 1600 inhabitants

Viridian type	General description The Viridian is a huge irregularly shaped combat vessel with numerous weapons, including torpedoes and antiproton cannons. It is equipped with a cloaking device and with tentacles that can be used to tractor in other ships. The shuttlebay is large enough to hold a Federation Crossfield class.	Known ships Viridian
	Annotations The Viridian shows up in DIS: "The Sanctuary" and in the final arc of season 3, beginning in "Su'Kal". The ship appears to consist of separate parts, which doesn't become quite clear though.	Class specifications Heavy cruiser

Book's ship	General description Book's courier ship is asymmetrical and shaped roughly like a boomerang. It has one deck and is small enough to fit into the shuttlebay of the USS Discovery. Additionally, it can morph into different shapes, also during flight. It also features a slipstream drive and a cloaking device.	Known ships No name given
	Annotations Book's ship first appears in DIS: "That Hope Is You, Part 1" and is destroyed in DIS: "Coming Home". We never learn the name of the ship.	Class specifications Length: 42m

Zareh's ship	General description Zareh's courier ship is capable of landing on a planet and consists of detached parts.	Known ships No name given
	Annotations Zareh's ship can be seen parked in front of the "Western saloon" in DIS: "Far From Home". It is not certain in the episode itself that this is Zareh's ship and that it consists of multiple parts, but the VFX reel by Pixomondo reveals the structure of the ship.	Class specifications None available

Dyson rings	General description In their old home system Species 10-C built Dyson rings around the central star.	Known Dyson rings No name given
	Annotations The Dyson rings are briefly shown and mentioned in DIS: "Rosetta" but for some reason not further explored, although they should be full of technology and other artifacts.	Class specifications None available

"Egg"	General description Species 10-C sends this metallic looking egg-shaped and shuttle-sized vessel to carry the delegation of the Federation. It includes a technology of morphing and appears to be bigger on the inside than on the outside.	Known shuttles No name given
	Annotations We can see the "egg" in DIS: "Species Ten-C".	Class specifications None available

Hyperfield

Species 10-C surrounds its new home system with an impermeable shell that may or may not consist of an equivalent of solid matter.

No name given

After their former homeworld, a gas giant, was struck by a disaster, 10-C surrounded their new home system with the hyperfield. In order to maintain this enormous structure, they created what would be known as the DMA (dark matter anomaly), to harvest boronite particles from all across the galaxy. 10-C eventually agreed to shut down the power source, upon which the hyperfield dissipated in 3190.
We finally see the hyperfield from the outside and inside in DIS: "Species Ten-C" and "Coming Home".
We can't tell for sure what the hyperfield was made of. It looks solid but dissipates as if it were energy. If it were solid, it would be by far the biggest structure ever to appear in Star Trek, surpassing the Dyson sphere from TNG: "Relics".

None available

V'draysh escape pod	General description This is an escape pod of the V'draysh in the 33rd century, equipped with an entertainment system that includes media files from the "Long Ago".	Known pods No name given
	Annotations The one-off design from SHO: "Calypso" is listed here due to a lack of a better place in this database. "V'draysh" is a corruption of "Federation", according to writer Michael Chabon. Perhaps it should be listed with Federation starships of the era, but it appears as very alien in the context of the episode.	Class specifications None available
