I don't suppose they ever gave it a name?

Solkar

 

[137th Gebirg]

Spock's Great-Grandaddy and Captain of the Vulcan ship in First Contact! From MA.

"...Sarek, son of Skon, son of Solkar..." - ST3

Some serious small-universe shit going on there!

Well, if the ship actually belongs to Sarek's family, then naming it after a past relative isn't so far fetched.

 

[DEWLine]

That logic works for me.

 

[Tuskin38]

That seem oddly sentimental for a Vulcan.

We're talking about the guy who married a human because (paraphrase) ...

"It seemed to be the logical thing to do at the time."

And went 18 years not talking to his son, because of a tiff over Spock's career decision.

One would guess that his sentimental side does at times override his logic, despite his Vulcan upbringing.

Can't wait to see Tilly's family's private craft, the USS Uncle John.

That would be the USS Uncle BIG BAD John !

...Is Solkar the name of the particular craft that took Sarek to his near-doom, or of the type of craft that this one is but one humble part of?

Timo Saloniemi

All it says is “Vulcan Solkar Cruiser”
So interpret that as you will

 

[Timo]

Oh, so it's a Vulcan solar cruiser complete with a spelling error then. No wonder it stalled when going into that cloudy nebula!

(Thanks!)

Welp, another back ordered item...

Here's the cover of the USS BURAN booklet...

... and the first page...

It's a nice looking ship, but I still don't like the square nacelles.

 

[Tuskin38]

I don't like how the nacelles are not mirrored.

Might just be because I'm a fan of the prometheus.

Yeah, the top pair are inset slightly compared to the bottom pair for some reason.

When you look at it from the back though, it doesn't seem so bad.

 

[DaveyNY]

The Klingon QUGH (Disaster) CLASS is Issue #8...

I don't like this one the way They have it oriented.
To me, it looks better with blue glowing "bulb end" as the back, instead of the front.

 

[XCV330]

I like that work-bee

 

[Tuskin38]

Anything interesting in the book?

Huh that's backwards, compared to the cover on Memory-Alpha

Heh... They haven't exactly been consistent with their advertising (nor their info from their Rep's.) so this doesn't really surprise all that much.

I'll scan some more pics and post them.
Some interesting details.
