Summary

Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise was a technical manual of the Star Trek Movies-era Enterprise first published in 1987 by Pocket Books. Written and illustrated by Shane Johnson.

The book was published as a follow up for the Star Fleet Technical Manual, but illustrated the retrofitted USS Enterprise and its replacement USS Enterprise-A. The book makes usage of the FASA naming and dating scheme, placing the vessels refit in the early 23rd century.

Background Information

The information in this manual was written in conjuction with some design staff of the movie series, and as such some of it is directly derived from filmed references, but some speculation within is outside of what is considered canon because some data is contradictory, as the nature of a continuing series is that new plot points may contradict previously assumed or unfilmed data.

That being said, this manual was a valuable source of behind the scenes information. Many pieces of photography and behind the scenes graphics information used in the filmings are presented clearly here.

Discrepancies exist with some references to transwarp drive being assigned to the USS Enterprise-A.
