This image was created by Roman Gitlarz, one of our feature artists in the Star Trek: Borderlands community of pbem-rpg games. I intend to show more of his work in the near future.
I happened to fall in love with the ships Defiant styling, even though it had always been shown in DS9 as a freighter or a transport of one kind or other. When I had to choose, a ship for my hero vessel in our RPG, I had to find one that matched a written description within reasonable limits, and this was it! My website, https://sites.google.com/site/seiklonaxelhome/Home, has a set of internal schematics for this ship as a freighter. I am not going to say that these schematics are first rate, but I had fun working on their creation with Garry Kellogg, who worked out some of the finer details. -Rich LeValley-
On second thought, if I'm going to talk about the Deck-by-Deck page, I might as well link you to that directly. Here you go: https://sites.google.com/site/seiklonaxelhome/Home/the-ship/deck-by-deck
Got a few similarities to the Acamarian ship from The Vengeance Factor http://tng.trekcore.com/gallery/albums/s3/3x09/thevengeancefactor200.jpg
Nope, that's just a generic TNG freighter (e.g., the Pakled ship). The ship is the first post is based on a different prop. IIRC on one occasion it was a smuggler ship in the Badlands.
Hey, thanks! I really appreciate that you took the time to go look. I've spent alot of time on the website, including images and styling.
