The Sydney-class U.S.S. Jenolan from the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Relics." This vessel was represented on-screen by the executive shuttle model created by Bill George and John Goodson for Star Trek VI after extensive modifications by Greg Jein. The digital images shown here were created by Eaglemoss Publications for the Official Starships Collection.

I've always liked this design. It's very different from a typical Federation starship, yet at the same time looks distinctly Starfleet.

Klingon D7/K'tinga Battlecruiser continuity DEEP DIVE!

Where it all began in TOS, designed by W. Matt Jeffries. The name D7 was an on-set in-joke between Shatner and Nimoy which stuck.

When Star Trek rebooted it's Klingons for The Motion Picture, they added tons of surface detail to the Klingon Battlecruiser too. The name "K'tinga" was given in the TMP blueprint pack (although the model was called "Koro class") and it stuck. This was considered the Klingons' equivalent to the refitted Enterprise seen in the movie.

Deep Space Nine's "Trials and Tribble-ations" crossed DS9 over with TOS' "The Trouble With Tribbles", and the DS9 VFX crew built all-new physical models for visual effects - and Greg Jein chose to add a green tint and K'tinga-style surface detail to the TOS D7 battlecruiser, making us all wonder if they were really meant to be the same ship type all along.

Voyager's "Prophecy" would show us a Klingon "D7" battlecruiser in the Delta Quadrant. Although called a D7 in the script, the CG model is clearly based upon the TMP K'tinga, with the extra hull detailing.

Doug Drexler designed this ⬆️D4 Battlecruiser for Star Trek: Enterprise's "Unexpected" as a predecessor for the ship seen in TOS. But The Powers That Be decided the ship didn't have enough windows (yes, really) and requested the D7/K'tinga CG model from Voyager be used instead⬇️ putting it's first appearance 150 years earlier in 2151.

For the TOS Remastered HD TOS project, the original look for the Klingon D7 Battlecruiser was retained, albeit in a somewhat low-poly PS2-ish form

The Klingon Warbird, seen during the Kobayashi Maru sequence of the 2009 reboot movie (and more so in the deleted scenes, surrounding the damaged Narada before Nero's imprisonment at Rura Penthe), was literally the TMP K'tinga with extra stuff bolted on and smaller windows implying an upscaling to match the enormous Starfleet ships in the Kelvin universe.

The Pike-era novel Children of Kings would reconcile the huge Klingon Warbird by saying it was a larger version of the Battlecruiser (of course, Klingons are no strangers to upscaling their Bird of Prey) and most feared ship in the Klingon fleet

Fast forward to 2017. Star Trek: Discovery has rebooted the look of the Klingons again and this time their ships as well, ten years prior to TOS. And in "Choose Your Pain" this ship ⬆️ (called Sech-class in behind-the-scenes art) is called a D7. But then fast-forward to season 2, when 5 concurrent series' of Trekspam were planned out, tying more closely into previous canon and Discovery backpedaled somewhat on it's unique designs - and a "new" D7 battlecruiser (a more modest updating of the Klingon D7/K'Tinga design, upscaled like the Kelvinverse version to match the bigger Discovery/Strange New Worlds ships) was planned as a unified design to united the 24 Klingon great houses, ignoring ENT: "Unexpected" and Disco's own "Choose Your Pain":

So yeah, the D7 class may or may not be the same as the K'tinga class, and it appeared "first" in 2151 and again in 2257.

X-Wing model used in original 1977 Star Wars up for auction

A long-lost X-wing model used in the original "Star Wars" movie is up for auction, starting at $400,000

****

A fabled Star Wars prop that featured in the Death Star explosion scene in the first of the original movies is being auctioned off, with a starting bid price of US$400,000.

The model is an X-wing Starfighter, one of four used in the 1977 movie "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope."

Long considered the holy grail for collectors of Star Wars memorabilia, the model was assumed for decades to be lost. However, it was recently found among the belongings of late modelmaker Greg Jein, whose collection is being auctioned off in mid-October.

Visual effects company Industrial Light & Magic made several X-wings — less detailed "pyro" ones to be blown up, as well as four intricate "hero" models that were used for close-ups, including in the trench run scene.

As such, the model has articulated motorized wings, wired lights, scorch marks around its exhausts, and even the dome of a miniature R2 unit behind its canopy.

According to the auctioneer, which has matched the model to specific scenes, it stood in for Red Leader or Red One — the callsign given to the leader of the movie's Red Squadron — as well as Red Two, and Luke Skywalker's Red Five.

It can be seen in several scenes during the trench run sequence ��� including when Red Leader says he's going to try to draw the enemy's fire, as well as when Skywalker pulls out of his strafing run, the auctioneer said.

"Without question, this Hero X-wing miniature represents the pinnacle of "Star Wars" artifacts to ever reach the market," the auctioneer wrote.

It's among the items that won Industrial Light & Magic the Oscar for visual effects for the movie in 1978.

Visual effects historian Gene Kozicki was among the group of friends and fellow professionals who unearthed the model while going through Jein's things in order to catalog them, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

"It became something of a mythical 'white whale' — the missing "Star Wars" X-wing," Kozicki told the outlet.

When they spotted a cardboard box, "I knew something was probably in the box, so I started to carefully scoop out the packaging peanuts when the nose of the X-wing showed itself," he said.

It's unclear how Jein ended up with the model since he did not work on the movie itself.

But according to The Hollywood Reporter, he was an avid collector and would have been in a position to easily trade items from his own work, which included props for Steven Spielberg's "Close Encounter of the Third Kind," as well as several Star Trek movies.

A common type of freighter from Star Trek: The Next Generation. The same model was used for the Sanction in "Symbiosis," the Erstwhile in "The Outrageous Okona," and the Arcos in "Legacy" (and in different configurations it portrayed additional ships in further episodes). The physical model was created by Greg Jein and Bruce MacRae, and a computer-generated model was created by Douglas E. Graves to replace missing footage when the latter two episodes were remastered. That digital model probably formed the basis for these images credited to Fabio Passaro from Eaglemoss' Official Starships Collection.

Note in the image immediately above: the film's original title, "The Vengeance of Khan" made it all the way to the publication of the movie's presskits which must have been withdrawn after Lucasfilm (allegedly) requested Paramount that they alter the title to avoid any confusion with their own release for the following year , "Revenge of the Jedi." Paramount agreed to do so largely because Lucasfilm's Industrial Light and Magic had provided STAR TREK II's strong original visual effects at a very reasonable cost and, more importantly, Paramount had released the biggest money-making movie of the previous year, 1981 's "Raiders of the Lost Ark," and the studio wanted to remain in the George Lucas business. Of course, the title change was ultimately moot after Mr. Lucas agreed with observations that revenge seemed antithetical to the Jedi philosophy as espoused by Obi Wan Kenobi and Yoda and changed the title of STAR WARS "Episode VI" to "Return of the Jedi" (which he also saw as a smart and suitable reflection of the title of the third book of Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, "Return of the King," as "Rings" was an admitted influence on Lucas' space fantasy).
