Image 4: Looking forward along the topside Image 3: Closer look at the topside details The larger sections were for closeup details, like the hab ring piece used to show the runabout dock. There were a couple of enlarged sections built, but this doesn't look like them.
#Deep space nine station full#
The color scheme is the same as on the full circumference miniature. The heavy use of backlighting always darkened/desaturated the look of the station, so I'm not surprised if the assessment was that they were painted differently. The colors are indeed correct, including the sensor/radiator insets. More Info: It looks like the partial build of the station used when the moco camera had to cross -through- where the station structure would be to get certain angles. The colors in the inset areas were odd and must film differently because they never looked that gold on-screen.- Will McCammon The Deep Space Nine miniature was only a partial miniature - I think it may have been the one used for shots of approaching ships as seen from Ops and for some docking shots. The filming miniatures of the USS Defiant and Deep Space Nine were included in the 2001: Building for Space Travel exhibit. Both sets were taken at the Museum Of Flight in Seattle, WA. Photos are courtesy of Phil Bolton and Will McCammon (taken by Shawn McGoldrick). The station was designed by Rick Sternbach and Hermann Zimmerman the model built by Tony Meininger. At the request of the new government, Starfleet assumed control - renamed the station "Deep Space 9" and assigned the relatively low-ranking Commander Benjamin Sisko to run it. It was abandoned 18 years later when the planet regained it's freedom. so don't even ask.ĭeep Space 9 was built by the Cardassians as "Terek Nor" in 2351 as a mining station orbiting Bajor.

The sections below are divided up by ship type and grouped by alliance. Designs of new ships are evolutionary improvements over their predecessors - as is fitting for a well-established background such as the Trek universe. Many are familiar - from the Galaxy, Nebula, Vor'Cha and Warbird -class ships of TNG to the Akira, Steamrunner, and older refit Reliant/Miranda and Excelsior-class ships from the movies. Starships and space-going craft are a big part of the show. By the end of it's seven year run it was considered by many to be the best of franchise. Somewhere along the line, however, DS9 found it's footing. As a result, fans did not immediately take to it, many complaining that the new show had turned traitor to Roddenberry's ideals.
#Deep space nine station series#
The show endeavored to present a more realistic, less-rosy view of the future than the preceding series and movies. Through it would come ther greatest challenges ever faced by the Federation - and the rest of the inhabitants of the Alpha Quadrant.ĭeep Space Nine broke new ground for the Star Trek franchise, and not just because it was the first show not set on a travelling starship. Little did anyone know that this rough, frontier outpost in a backwater system would assume great commercial, scientific and strategic importance shortly thereafter when the Bajorian wormhole, linking the Alpha and Gamma Quadrants, was discovered nearby. At the request of the new government, Starfleet assumed control - renamed the station "Deep Space 9" and assigned the relatively low-ranking Commander Benjamin Sisko to run it. The Cardassians built "Terek Nor" in 2351 as a mining station orbiting Bajor, and abandonned it 18 years later when the planet regained it's freedom.
