Take a close look at this pic:

http://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/scans/other/kataan-model.jpg

Ignore the Kataan probe and the Romulan scoutship. Look at the wooden crate behind the Kataan probe. It says "Magellan." What could this model be? Unfortunately, the polaroid picture is obscured by the probe's mounting pole.

The only references to "Magellan" I know of is in "Starship Mine," and "Sacrifice of Angels." In both instances, the ship is only mentioned, not seen. Any ideas?

It could possibly be something not from Trek?

Wasn't it also a shuttlecraft? The first of the Type 4 (I think) ones? The type first seen in "Darmok"?

It was type 6 and yes, the shuttle model seems the most appropriate to fit.

If only that was true!

Oh...yeah. The shuttlecraft Magellan.

Duh.

I=stupid.

Could be the orbital shuttle from TVH too. AFAIR there was a 30th Anniversary magazine with some pictures of modells. One picture was the orbital shuttle and the description said it was the Magellan.

Did they convert that back from the Jenolan modification though?

This shuttle first appeared in TUC.

The TVH orbital shuttle is this one:

Oh yeah.

Hmm. Wouldn't that model be at ILM though?
 
Posted by Spike (Member # 322) on :
 
IIRC the Spacedock was built by ILM too, but nevertheless it is in the Star Trek archive.
 
Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
 
True enough. Although the spacedock model is slightly more famous.
