Changes: Unnamed Earth starships

Revision as of 07:21, 5 July 2015

AT: "xx" The following are unnamed Earth starships.

By class

By unknown class

Tau Ceti assault fleet

Twelve unnamed starships were destroyed in the mirror universe by the rebellion against the Terran Empire in a battle at Tau Ceti in the 2150s. (ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly")

Avenger's assault fleet

An unknown number of unnamed starships in an assault fleet lead by the ISS Avenger were completely destroyed in 2155, with the Avenger barely surviving after the USS Defiant intervened. By this point, thousands of Starfleet officers were said to have been killed by the rebels. (ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II")

Beta Capricus expedition

In 2210, an unnamed starship participated in mission to Beta Capricus, under the command of Harry Kim's Uncle Jack. The long range deep-space exploration vessel was designed to be operated by a single pilot while the rest of the crew was held in stasis. After departing Earth's orbit their starship took six months to reach its destination. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to Earth researchers, there was no Beta Capricus. What was believed to be a star was in fact just an electromagnetic echo of a distant galaxy. Left with little alternative Jack was forced to turn the ship around and make the trip all the way back to Earth deciding not to wake the crew. Upon the vessel's return from its year long voyage the wakened disgruntled crew was eager to learn why they had not yet left orbit. (VOY: "11:59")

It was not made clear if this was a Starfleet expedition, or if it was chartered by the Earth government.

"Warp Delta"

This unnamed starship was a type of starship used by Starfleet during the mid-22nd century.

These vessels were equipped with forward and aft phase cannons. (ENT: "The Expanse", "Twilight")

This class was also present in the mirror universe. (ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly", "In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II")

The CGI model of this ship was designed by John Eaves and built by Foundation Imaging. The vessel was referred to by the special effects team as the "Warp Delta." Robert Bonchune described the inspiration of this design as "a kind of Romulan/Federation hybrid." [1]

The model originally started out as the "back end" of the warp ship model seen flying above Luna during the opening credits of the Star Trek: Enterprise. According to Bonchune, "The next season when we needed some "older" starships (than NX-01), John Eaves went ahead and truly finalized the complete shape as was seen in the episodes. However, since this was considered a more advanced production version, the "back end" old style rocket exhausts were deleted and replaced with more "advanced" 'nurnies' and 'greebling'." [2] Additional views can be found at the Drex Files^(X).

In Christopher L. Bennett's novel Uncertain Logic, the ship is referred to as the Ganges class.

In his blog, Doug Drexler names the original unknown ship shown in the credits as the SS ''Emmette''. The name comes from the CGI model files the ship was saved as by the art department, it was not invented by John Eaves [http://johneaves.wordpress.com/2009/04/27/the-starships-of-expance/#comment-1745], Robert Bonchune or Doug Drexler. [http://drexfiles.wordpress.com/2009/04/27/rob-bonchune-answering-questions-here/#comment-7107] Bonchune speculates it was an internal name used by the art department or an arbitrary choice by the model builder.
