Also seen inside the Scavenger ship in #StarTrekSNW's "The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail" are various bits and pieces of a very familiar starship: A Klingon Bird-of-Prey! Not the one introduced in season 1 of #StarTrekDiscovery but the one (with slight alterations) from "Star Trek III" and onwards! 😁

There was an old issue of Starlog in the early '90s where the background of the table-of-contents was a painting of the TOS Enterprise chasing a Bird of Prey. I think it might've been part of an article on David Mattingly, but I'm having trouble tracking down the image on-line (for that matter, I had trouble tracking down another image I remembered from the article to get his name).

Ha! Found it. An old example of the idea of the movie-style Bird of Prey being around in the TOS era.

the one here like Jörg observes is slightly different from the B'Rel in WOK onwards. Like from what I can see it's missing the black grills near the impulse deck.

I wonder where the model was sourced from. According to Brian Tatosky:

It's *supposed* to be a Vo'n'talk class from Enterprise all chopped up. At least that was the plan.​

Why that BoP wing got a dart board on it?
