Description

Explore the process behind the creation of the ships featured in the Star Trek, Star Trek: Into Darkness, and Star Trek: Beyond films. This is the story of how some of the most talented designers in Hollywood created Star Trek’s starships from the first sketches to the finished models that appeared on screen.

This book covers nearly 20 new ships from the modern Star Trek movies, from the new Enterprise to a fleet of Federation ships that was barely seen. Along the way, it covers the thinking behind Klingon and Romulan ships and the heavily-armed U.S.S. Vengeance.

This third volume in the Designing Starships series collects the profiles and design history from the rebooted Star Trek "Kelvin Timeline" film universe. The "Kelvin Timeline" is an alternate reality timeline in which the current Star Trek film universe operates. It is named after the ship captained by Captain Kirk's father in the first of J.J. Abrams' Star Trek films, the U.S.S. Kelvin.

Ships included: U.S.S. Enterprise, U.S.S. Enterprise-A, Narada, U.S.S. Kelvin, Spock's Jellyfish, U.S.S. Yorktown Space Station, and many more. Includes 6 ships that were designed for the final sequence of Star Trek: Beyond which were not used and have never been seen before.
