The episode "A Time to Stand" needed a shot of a retreating flotilla of Starfleet vessels. To beef out the scene, the production staff built several new ships, kitbashing them out of parts from commercially available [[AMT/Ertl]]-[[Star Trek model kits]]. Amongst them was the USS ''Buckner'', which would be referred to as the USS ''Centaur'' in a later scene from "A Time to Stand", although a recent photo of the model still shows the original name. The ''Buckner'' was constructed from parts of the ''Reliant'' and ''Excelsior'' model kits. It was built by [[Adam Buckner]], who still owns the model.

The Centaur-type of Federation starships were launched in the 24th century. They share the same design era with the Template:ShipClass of starships.
Ships commissioned
- USS Centaur (NCC-42043)
Appendices
Appearances
Background
The Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Technical Manual describes this vessel as an Template:ShipClass starship variant, describing it as being among the ships "constructed from salvaged components, components in work, and custom assemblies fabricated by the individual fleet yards."
Physical model
The episode "A Time to Stand" needed a shot of a retreating flotilla of Starfleet vessels. To beef out the scene, the production staff built several new ships, kitbashing them out of parts from commercially available AMT/Ertl-Star Trek model kits. Amongst them was the USS Buckner, which would be referred to as the USS Centaur in a later scene from "A Time to Stand", although a recent photo of the model still shows the original name. The Buckner was constructed from parts of the Reliant and Excelsior model kits. It was built by Adam Buckner, who still owns the model. [1]
CG model
A somewhat redesigned CG model of the Centaur was commissioned by Adam "Mojo" Lebowitz and built by Ed Giddings for use in various licensed publications. [2] [3] Orthographic views of this model were published in Star Trek Fact Files, no. 298, 2002 and Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 3, Issue 6.
Technical manual
The following specifications were given in the DS9 Technical Manual:
- Production Base: ASDB Integration Facility, Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards, Mars
- Type: Medium Cruiser
- Accommodation: 315 officers and crew
- Power Plant: One 1,500 plus Cochrane warp core feeding two nacelles; two impulse systems
- Dimensions: Length, 381.87 meters; beam, 320.16 meters; height, 78.54 meters
- Mass: 870,000 metric tonnes
- Performance: Warp 9.6 for 12 hours
- Armament: Nine type-9 phaser emitters; two photon torpedo launchers
Apocrypha
- According to the novel Articles of the Federation, this type is the Centaur-class, making the USS Centaur the first of its type.
- Centaur is playable in Star Trek: Legacy. The player can command the ship in the TOS and TNG eras.
- The Centaur is also playable in Star Trek Online, where it is one of the three starting designs for Federation players' starships. It is on the same tier as (and interchangeable with) the Miranda and Shi'Kar classes.
