Did Boris Vallejo ever do any Star Trek art?

^Memory Alpha lists only seven Boris Vallejo covers, but it's an incomplete listing. Just going through the books I have on my shelves, I can add Corona, Dwellers in the Crucible, Yesterday's Son, Time for Yesterday, The Final Reflection, and The Vulcan Academy Murders to the list. In fact, I think I'll edit those into the Memory Alpha list right now.

And I was able to nearly double the list just from books I happen to own. I'm sure there are others. So yeah, Vallejo was the cover artist on Trek novels pretty regularly for much of the 1980s. (And he did start in the '80s, not the '70s. The earliest Trek cover I'm aware of from him is from 1983.)
 
I think Vallejo also did the covers to Demons and How Much For Just the Planet?

Oh, and he also did Enterprise: The First Adventure (the SFBC hardcover edition has a full wraparound) and Final Frontier. I'm not sure about Strangers from the Sky. ETA: Memory Alpha's article on Strangers states that Vallejo did that inside cover as well.
 
He also did the cover art for Dreadnought! and Battlestations!, both by Diane Carey. In fact, the two characters on the cover of Dreadnought! are supposed to be based on her and her husband.
