The '''[[Bajoran raider]]''' or '''Bajoran fighter''' as it is sometimes referred to, was the first spaceship design by [[Jim Martin]] after his promotion to senior illustrator on ''[[DS9]]''. As he recalls,"''I did a Bajoran fighter that [[Kira Nerys|Kira]] and [[Jadzia Dax|Dax]] crash. There were a few ships in that episode; there was a [[Bajoran assault vessel|Bajoran transport]] and a small Bajoran fighter. I remember something really ridiculous about that ship. We intended to re-use these old windows that we had found for the set of the interior, so the windows I designed for the exterior needed to match. I kept trying to come up with a way to incorporate the window frames into the ship design. Then we ended up not using them, but they are still on the miniature!''"([[Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 1, Issue 13]], page 22)

The design was converted into a physical [[studio model]] at [[Tony Meininger]]'s model shop [[Brazil-Fabrication & Design]] making its debut in {{DS9|The Siege}}. The model also appeared as a [[Maquis]] ship in {{TNG|Preemptive Strike}} where it was slightly modified during the production in order to match the canopy with the interior set.

The model subsequently appeared as a [[Maquis]] ship in the ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' episode {{e|Preemptive Strike}} where its cockpit canopy was slightly modified during the production in order to have it match with the canopy of the slightly redressed [[Type 6 shuttlecraft]] interior cockpit set. {{DrexFiles|2009/03/08/bajoran-fighter-pictorial/}}
   
As part of one of the last batches of existing studio models being transformed into [[CGI model]]s, a CG version was built at [[Digital Muse]] for {{DS9|Shadows and Symbols}}, where it appeared in the background. It was later used, unmodified, as an unknown alien ship in {{VOY|Drive}}. The CGI model was redesigned and appeared as various ships belonging to various species ([[Xantoras]] and [[Human]] -2x- respectively) in {{ENT|The Breach|Twilight|Storm Front, Part II}}.[http://drexfiles.wordpress.com/2009/11/08/xantoran-patrol-ship/]

The '''[[Federation attack fighter]]''' was a [[Jim Martin]] design (''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion]]'', page 298), and as a small fighter design betrayed his ''Star Wars'' influences, giving "excess stomach acid" according to [[Doug Drexler]].[http://drexfiles.wordpress.com/2009/11/15/bajoran-interceptortransport/] The model was eventually built as a physical [[studio model]] at [[Tony Meininger]]´s [[Brazil-Fabrication & Design]] model shop.

In preparation of the upcoming episode {{e|Sacrifice of Angels}} the model was converted into a [[CGI]] version. [[Bruce Branit]] of [[Digital Muse]] recalled,"''There was also the Federation Fighter, which is a smaller one or two man ship that was mixed in with everything else. They've been established in a few other episodes. Toward the end of last season they started showing it in a couple of scenes. That one was built from scratch, as a first edition CG model, off of the real model.''"{''[[Cinefantastique]]'', Vol.30, No.9/10, page 64/65). Premiering in that episode, the CG model was later modified at [[Foundation Imaging]] to represent the [[Nightingale]] in {{VOY|Nightingale}} and as a [[Annari warship (2372)|Annari warship]] in {{VOY|The Void}}.

After [[John Eaves]] joined the art department of [[DS9]], one of his first jobs was designing the ''Cardassian freighter'' that was able to conceal a large gun, tasked to him in August 1995.[http://johneaves.wordpress.com/2009/06/08/the-cardassian-vessel-groumall/] His first take on the design was a tip of the hat to [[Rick Sternbach]]'s {{ShipClass|Galor }}."''I took the front end of a Galor-class Cardassian ship and tried to fan off from that. Using the front end, kind of sculpting it a little bit differently, and putting all these cargo bays in a row.''", as he remembers ([[Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 1, Issue 2]], page 22). The producers found the design to militaristic looking and asked for a more industrial, "freighterish" looking design. Elaborating further,"''It was just a series of boxes, all stacked on top of each other in series of sixes, with a big engine detail on the back and the familiar looking Cardassian fork on the front. They wanted it very "freighterish" so I put the bridge on the back like it is on an oiler tanker of today.(...)That's where this design had come from: it's a bunch of huge, huge engines on the back which take it wherever you want to go. They wanted this more than the other one because it is very industrial looking.''"

It took Eaves another three months of refining before coming up with a design the producers signed off on in November. Though it was becoming less and less customary to produce full orthographic blueprints for model shops by that time (three-quarter views were deemed sufficient), in this case Eaves did, and sent them off to [[Tony Meininger]]'s [[Brazil-Fabrication & Design]] in December, where the [[studio model]] was constructed, making its debut in {{e|Return to Grace}}.

The model was used twice more as a ''Cardassian freighter'', but would also be redressed twice to represent freighters belonging to other species: the first time, repainted but otherwise unmodified as a [[Nekrit freighter]] in {{VOY|Fair Trade}} (It was in this color scheme that the model would later make its last appearance as a ''Cardassian freighter''). The second time the model was again repainted but this time modified with the addition of warp engines and Klingon markings, to represent [[Klingon cargo vessel]]s in {{e|Sons and Daughters}}, though Effects Supervisor for the episode [[David Stipes]] would have loved to have had a more Klingon design. He later rationalised the use of the Cardassian design, "''We actually wound up using Cardassian freighters that were modified by Tony Meininger, which didn't seem all that implausible, considering all the fighting that had been going on between the Klingons and the Cardassians. We painted them Klingon colors, as if they were prizes of war''". (''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion]]'', p. 500) This was the last appearance of the studio model. No [[CGI model]] was ever constructed of this design.
   
 
The model, known as {{stala|1778-0483|lot 483}} was listed in the ''[[40 Years of Star Trek: The Collection]]'' auction and estimated at US$2,000-$3,000. It was sold on 6 October 2006 with a winning bid of US$5,000 ($6,000 including buyer's premium) in the modification it was last used as, namely as a Klingon cargo vessel to American collector Anthony Sforza.

Template:Realworld Chronological list of studio models appearing in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

This list is of all new model designs that first appeared in DS9. Information on models that represented a single design can be found in the articles linked below. Information on models that were recycled or refurbished to represent different vessels or props from different species in all series' will be listed herein.

DS9 Season 1

Deep Space 9

The Miradorn raider, also identified as a Theta-class starship, was designed by Ricardo Delgado. (Star Trek Encyclopedia)

The Miradorn ship model (measuring 20" × 21") was listed in the 40 Years of Star Trek: The Collection auction with an estimated sale price of $3,000 to $5,000; it sold for $3,800 ($4,560 with premium). [2] A foam camera test model of this design, measuring approximately 12.5" &times 11" × 2" was sold in the It's A Wrap! sale and auction. The model was inscribed with various notes, including: "1/4 length of Enterprise", "Eat at Joes", "No step", and "For a good time call...". [3]

The Bajoran raider or Bajoran fighter as it is sometimes referred to, was the first spaceship design by Jim Martin after his promotion to senior illustrator on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. As he recalls,"I did a Bajoran fighter that Kira and Dax crash. There were a few ships in that episode; there was a Bajoran transport and a small Bajoran fighter. I remember something really ridiculous about that ship. We intended to re-use these old windows that we had found for the set of the interior, so the windows I designed for the exterior needed to match. I kept trying to come up with a way to incorporate the window frames into the ship design. Then we ended up not using them, but they are still on the miniature!"(Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 1, Issue 13, p. 22) Martin however, was partly in error in his recollections; a custom built cockpit set, that both matched his cockpit design and the cockpit windows on the model, was constructed for, and featured in the Deep Space Nine episode "The Siege", but he was right for the model's subsequent appearance. [4](X)

The design was converted into a physical studio model at Tony Meininger's model shop Brazil-Fabrication & Design, making its debut in "The Siege". The model subsequently appeared as a Maquis ship in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Preemptive Strike" where its cockpit canopy was slightly modified during the production in order to have it match with the canopy of the slightly redressed Type 6 shuttlecraft interior cockpit set. [5](X)

As part of one of the last batches of existing studio models being translated into CGI models, a CGI version was built at Digital Muse for "Shadows and Symbols", where it appeared in the background. It was later used, unmodified, as an unknown alien ship in the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Drive". The CGI model was reconfigured to appear as various ships belonging to several species (Xantoras and Human -2x- respectively) in ENT: "The Breach", "Twilight", "Storm Front, Part II".[6](X)

Constructed out of styrene and resin, the physical model, measuring 18×15½5 inches and known as Lot 486, being part of the 40 Years of Star Trek: The Collection auction and estimated at US$3,000-$5,000, was eventually sold on 6 October 2006 with a winning bid of US$4,800 ($5,760 including buyer's premium). The model came with a small bag of additional parts, including a removable front landing gear pad.

The Federation attack fighter was a Jim Martin design (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion, page 298), and as a small fighter design betrayed his Star Wars influences, giving "excess stomach acid" according to Doug Drexler.[7](X) The model was eventually built as a physical studio model at Tony Meininger´s Brazil-Fabrication & Design model shop. Introduced as a Federation ship used by the Maquis in DS9: "The Maquis, Part II" and TNG: "Preemptive Strike", it was not until "A Time to Stand" that the design was revealed to be specifically the Federation attack fighter design, implying that the ships used by the Maquis, were commandeered vessels.

In preparation of the upcoming episode "Sacrifice of Angels" the model was converted into a CGI version. Bruce Branit of Digital Muse recalled,"There was also the Federation Fighter, which is a smaller one or two man ship that was mixed in with everything else. They've been established in a few other episodes. Toward the end of last season they started showing it in a couple of scenes. That one was built from scratch, as a first edition CG model, off of the real model." (Cinefantastique, Vol.30, No. 9/10, pp. 64-65). Premiering in that episode, the CGI model was later modified at Foundation Imaging to represent the Nightingale in VOY: "Nightingale" and as a Annari warship in VOY: "The Void".

The physical model,constructed out of glass fiber and resin, measuring 24x27 inch, known as Lot 491, being part of the 40 Years of Star Trek: The Collection auction, estimated at $3,000-$5,000, was eventually sold on 6 October 2006 with a winning bid of US$9,000 (US$10,800 including buyer's premium).

Karemma starship

The Karemma ship first appeared as a physical model in DS9 and later, a CGI version of the design appeared in VOY and ENT. The physical model measured 34" × 14".

The studio model was eventually listed in Christies' 2006 40 Years of Star Trek: The Collection auction. The catalog estimate for the lot was $3,000 to $5,000; it ultimately sold for $3,200 ($3,840 with premium).[8] The winners of the lot, a couple from Pennsylvania, were interviewed for The History Channel's Star Trek: Beyond the Final Frontier.

After John Eaves joined the art department of DS9, one of his first jobs was designing the Cardassian freighter that was able to conceal a large gun, tasked to him in August 1995.[9] His first take on the design was a tip of the hat to Rick Sternbach's Galor-class."I took the front end of a Galor-class Cardassian ship and tried to fan off from that. Using the front end, kind of sculpting it a little bit differently, and putting all these cargo bays in a row.", as he remembers (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 1, Issue 2, page 22). The producers found the design too militaristic looking and asked for a more industrial, "freighterish" looking design. Elaborating further,"It was just a series of boxes, all stacked on top of each other in series of sixes, with a big engine detail on the back and the familiar looking Cardassian fork on the front. They wanted it very "freighterish" so I put the bridge on the back like it is on an oiler tanker of today.(...)That's where this design had come from: it's a bunch of huge, huge engines on the back which take it wherever you want to go. They wanted this more than the other one because it is very industrial looking."

It took Eaves another three months of refining before coming up with a design the producers signed off on in November. Though it was becoming less and less customary to produce full orthographic blueprints for model shops by that time (three-quarter views were deemed sufficient), in this case Eaves did, and sent them off to Tony Meininger's Brazil-Fabrication & Design in December, where the studio model was constructed, making its debut in "Return to Grace".

The model was used twice more as a Cardassian freighter, but would also be redressed twice to represent freighters belonging to other species: the first time, repainted but otherwise unmodified as a Nekrit freighter in VOY: "Fair Trade" (It was in this color scheme that the model would later make its last appearance as a Cardassian freighter). The second time the model was again repainted but this time modified with the addition of warp engines and Klingon markings, to represent Klingon cargo vessels in "Sons and Daughters", though Effects Supervisor for the episode David Stipes would have loved to have had a more Klingon design. He later rationalised the use of the Cardassian design, "We actually wound up using Cardassian freighters that were modified by Tony Meininger, which didn't seem all that implausible, considering all the fighting that had been going on between the Klingons and the Cardassians. We painted them Klingon colors, as if they were prizes of war". (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, p. 500) This was the last appearance of the studio model. No CGI model was ever constructed of this design.

The model, known as lot 483 was listed in the 40 Years of Star Trek: The Collection auction and estimated at US$2,000-$3,000. It was sold on 6 October 2006 with a winning bid of US$5,000 ($6,000 including buyer's premium) in the modification it was last used as, namely as a Klingon cargo vessel to American collector Anthony Sforza. [10] A foam core camera test model sold in May 2008 as lot 7508 for US$384.00 in a It's A Wrap! sale and auction. One of Eaves' design sketches was sold in the Profiles in History Hollywood Auction 44, estimated at US$300-$500, on 15 May 2011 as Lot 1511 for US$475.

A Cardassian version of a Workbee was seen in "Tacking Into the Wind", though only barely. It's existence and actual appearance was only firmly confirmed on Doug Drexler's blog(X), being "little more than "atmosphere" around the yard, and never meant to be seen up close". This last new Digital Muse CGI build for the series was later modified at Foundation Imaging (Star Trek: Voyager Companion, p.467) and seen in better detail as an Imhotep ship in "Drive".
