Here's a render of USS Baton Rouge and USS Mann sent to me by a fellow named David Kroth. He bravely shows off all the parts not visible in the schematics or painting.

CHeck the forums.
There's an ongoing 1:1000thread over there and they're even scartchbuilding the Kobaysai Maru.

Yes I'm a member. The builder of the Kobyasu Maru has found out that he is actually building the Tritium Class cruiser. http://www.stguardian.to/mixed/spacechron/tritiumbeauty.jpg This is also the ship that will be offered as a kit.
I was wondering about the design's origin: the Kobyashi Maru (to me) will always be the Lotus Flower design from FASA.

That Masao (or was it Rev?) kid's got a nice version though.

Nobody even mentioned the Vintage Starships site http://vintagestarships.tripod.com/mainpages/vintagestarships.htm
Strange since both Masao and Harry are acknowledged...

Click UFP, then Cruisers. Baton Rouge is second from bottom in the list of Medium Cruisers.

Cheers!

Jim.

That is a good site as well. I like their Baton Rouge upgrade with TOS era warp nacelles.

an additional Baton-Rouge-class image exists in a Marvel Trek comic published in 1980. It's an aft view of the U.S.S. Republic NCC-1371 (in one panel, mislabeled NCC-1373, an erroneous reference that was quoted as the registry of Republic in the FASA game.

Wow, Can anyone provide a scan of the comic book Baton Rouge class?

Something to add to the collection: the good old Starship Reference Chart that lists one "Nordenskj�ld class", supposedly the interpretation of the Aridas Sofia/Todd Guenther team of the Baton Rouge class (or one of its subvariants, at any rate). The Chart shows a silhouette only, but we see a rather more bulbous ventral saucer structure than portrayed in the above images, and (IIRC) a deflector/sensor dish attached to the saucer rather than to the secondary hull.

Anybody care to add a link to the Chart? I'm lazy all year 'round, but summers are especially bad...

The Tritium class from the Spaceflight chronology was used as the cover art for the novel "The Kobayashi Maru," hence the erroneous association. Apparently the cover artist just used whatever "old" Star Trek art he had on hand.

I believe the only other two versions of the Kobayashi Maru in printed form were the Fasa Lotus Flower, and another design from a fan-produced publication, whch can be seen at the Advanced Starship Design Bureau.


Of course, speaking canonically, it's possible that the KM simulation uses a fictitious ship, without any class reference except for the vague "Class III Neutronic Fuel Carrier." I don't believe that it's a real ship in the ST universe.

I think "Neutronic Fuel" is disinformation to prevent raids- the freighter actually carries vital supplies of Beer to the outer colonies.

It's all that holds the Federation together.

FWIW, neither the Tritium nor the Lotus Flower match the dimensions given in that ST2 screen readout.

What is "vague" about "Class Ill Neutronic"? The fact that the audience may not be familiar with Mr Ill Neutronic and his achievements in the field of enology?

Hey Timo, When you get a chance I'd like to see the Baton Rouge profile you mentioned.

This is the version of the KM that I'm leaning toward as far as a build.  -

Yeah, that's the 2nd printed version I mentioned.

Timo: By "vague" I was referring to the fact that it didn't have a class name, but of course when the film was made, those kinds of details weren't as prevalent as they would be later.
