Picture the Novelverse - Characters, Ships and More !

I’m surprised that the 2025 calendar is a “best of” with no new images.
Someday there’s gotta be a SOTL calendar that references all Trek series.
 
Well they'd better do it now before there's more shows than months in the year...
That would be perfect for SOTL2026.
I don't understand why they're not going for that low-hanging fruit of celebration the breadth of Star Trek (maybe minus Short Treks because it lacks a unified cast/setting).
 
For 2016 they had an open submission for the 50th, then for 2017 it was all TOS, also for the 50th (since it went on sale in 2016).
 
I haven't read any novelverse novels but I remember reading on the wikis about Min Zife. Who do you guys imagine having played that role? He fascinates me. I don't know his personality but reading about him reminds me of Charles Logan from "24."

Check out the "Cast the Characters of Trek Literature" thread, where novel castings were discussed extensively. It used to be pinned to the top of the forum, but now it's hidden in the "Index of Reference Threads" pinned thread. It's very long, but you can try searching within the thread for "Zife." In fact, I did it for you: https://www.trekbbs.com/search/188942/?q=zife&t=post&c[thread]=31760&o=relevance
 
It's Cardassin' time!

1. Does anyone have a ship in mind for the mid-century Cardassian Akril class? Featured in ST:TLE.

2. First screenshot taken in Star Trek: Armada II, depicting three Intrepid-class ships facing off against the Cardassian Fourth Order close* (*liberties taken) to Dorvan V in 2373. Based on ST: MyrU book Echoes and Refractions story "A Gutted World".

EDIT: 3. Second screenshot taking in STO. Pardon the quality - dark ship in a super-bright nebula... It's the Birok class in the Betreka Nebula, based on the 2328 section of TLE: The Art of the Impossible.

Happy New Year! I’m sorry I keep hogging the thread but just love this concept.

The Miranda-class USS Saratoga NCC-31911-A launched in 2372 and appeared in two licensed images, both cover versions of the DS9 novel Saratoga by Michael Jan Friedman. Interestingly, one version omits the little orange “satellite dishes” of the sensor cannons.

Because of the point of divergence in the First Splinter timeline being 2373, the Saratoga-A likely made it into the prime universe as well.

Here’s my take on it, thanks to combining the Eaglemoss Saratoga-nil model with bobmat343’s decals:

As I considered in another thread, I did end up drawing up a more formal version of the seal of the "Starfleet Corps of Rhetoric Engineers" Ryan North established in the current run of Lower Decks comics. I originally intended to do variations based on all the Starfleet Command seals with examples on this EAS page, but I got annoyed tracking down fonts, so I ended up only doing one for the early-25th century PIC-era version. I've done most of the work already, I can make more versions later if the need arises or the spirit moves me.

I also took the liberty of making one for the board, based on the Fan Art Challenge Winner badge. I only did the little one, because I didn't remember there was a big one until just now when I was looking for the image to link to.

I just did this for fun, but if the admins want to add this to the "Writer" flair, it's fine either way. In fact, I fully disclaim any credit or rights or anything like that, feel free to use these for avatars, the Memory Beta article on the CoRE, and edit them however you like.
