From the Inside Flap

This in-depth reference book, written by Ben Robinson, Marcus Riley, and Matt McAllister profiles Starfleet ships from the birth of the Federation to the launch of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-B and the death of Captain Kirk. It also includes a chapter on Earth's pre-Federation vessels, including Zefram Cochrane's ship the Phoenix, which made mankind's first faster-than- light journey. Plus all of the Starfleet ships from the first season of STAR TREK: DISCOVERY and the original STAR TREK TV series. The book is richly illustrated with CG artwork using the original VFX models created for the STAR TREK TV shows and movies.

STAR TREK SHIPYARDS is a series of lavishly illustrated books that provide in-universe profiles of STAR TREK ships, building into the ultimate illustrated encyclopedia of STAR TREK vessels. Each ship is profiled with technical information, operational history and plan view CG renders - wherever possible using the original VFX models that were used on the TV shows and movies.
