Vanguard

In 2004 I was hired by Marco Palmieri of Pocket Books to design a space station for a new series of Star Trek novels set in the original series era. He had seen some preliminary stations I had posted at my Starfleet Museum website. This schematic was done late in the design phase and shows an almost final design. I added a lot of Animated Series ships to the docking ring, with the vain hope they would appear on a book cover (oh well).
