That would probably be a Saladin or or Hermes class. Created for a reference book, but canonized when the book’s drawings were digitized (or maybe more likely traced) to go on an illuminated display in the background of ST2 and 3.
For other single-nacelle ships, TNG had the Freedom class, the JJ movies the Kelvin class, and SNW the Archer class.
That Starfleet HQ I don’t think was ever canonized (anybody know better?), though it has a few very vague conceptual similarities to Spacedock One and implied narrative similarities to Discovery’s combined HQ station.
The one nacelle ship is cute … it makes it look like a baby Enterprise
Numero Una commands a similar one in the pilot episode of SNW.
Pity the poor engineers in that ship’s bathroom-sized engine room.
You dump that warp core and they probably have to go with it.
Eh, I’d still have watched it when I was a kid. What else was I going to watch on Sundays, Lost in Space reruns?
Okay, I watched those too, but that’s beside the point!
I got to meet Jonathan Harris at a convention not too long before he died. I told him I loved him in Freakazoid, and, in the most Jonathan Harris way, he said, “wasn’t that delightful?”
Heh, that’s awesome!
If you haven’t seen the new Lost In Space (on netlix), it’s really good.
I saw it. I liked the first season a lot more than the second and I thought the third was meh, but I prefer the one with a sense of humor. But Parker Posey was great throughout.
I have a special love for the early Star Trek visions that found continued life in the Star Fleet Battles board game universe. I wouldn’t mind a jumpstart franchise using that alternate timeline as a baseline. So many things were used from it for TNG and later ideas. Eg., Borg had some flavor of the Andromedan tech in a lot of ways.
Looks like good Star Trek to me. I love the Franz Joseph stuff. Pored over it for hours when I was a kid.
There’s something so neat about 1970s sci fi concept art. It reminds me of Ralph McQuarrie’s style.
What show is this?
Star Trek concept art by John Carlance, 1976
More accurately, Star Trek: Phase II concept art. Not the movie, the sequel TV show they were planning which eventually got turned into The Motion Picture
Thanks for the clarification
Looks heavily inspired by Disney’s concept art, which were heavily inspired by von Braun.
Glad we went with something else.
