Didn't notice the picture on this page when I posted my last reply. It looks just about dead-on as to what I saw in the episode. I'll see if I can get some more screen grabs up.

Ah yes... the Akyazi... Mmmmmmmm.... I've got a Constitution saucer diseted in my studio. Every couple months or so, I spend a couple hours trying to figure out how take the next step in making an Akyazi-esque model.

You can purchase a 1/650 scale resin cast model of the Akyazi class PA at McDaniel Models. Just so you know, Cory McDaniel has had a bit of a problem being... slow... in filling orders. However, he seems to have gotten all back-orders filled at this time. I've ordered from him twice and my orders took a bit longer than the advertised time-frame to fill. To be totally fair to Cory, he has mentioned in the past that he's had some health problems which caused his business dealings to suffer and I did eventually get my order.
Anyhow, I own his SFB Gorn Heavy Destroyer and Akyazi models and like what I see in both. I've only built up my Akyazi (seen here, scroll down to the bottom image) to the point of primering and it went well 'til the pylons started to sag. I've stopped until I can come up with some way to strengthen the pylons and stop the sag. Hope to build the Gorn heavy destroyer over the summer.

That looks a lot like I imagine the ship. But I'm not completely sure that the main hull is triangular. Simply because the other Earth ship is totally triangular (or maybe just because of that?).

theres a brief front view of that ship, right before the BOP flees.. ive been unable to isolate it to get a look at it though.. i did make a little vidclip of the scene, if anyone else wants to take a crack at it
quote: "The Starfleet ships were just shapes we came up with," Eaves told the Starfleet Communications Network at the recent WonderFest convention. The Warp 2-capable ships helped the Enterprise NX-01 fight off an attack from the Klingons as it returned to Earth.
"The script just asked for some backup Starfleet vessels so it was just a bunch of shapes we kind of conglomerated together that kind of looked pre-NX-01. And so [executive producer] Rick Berman just picked two out of the five. There's no names, no numbers, or really anything on them."
Doh!

Well, so what? It's not like we could really see much of them anyway...
I'd probably go with the assumption Bernd put on his site, that the unique "Steamrunner" ship was named Intrepid, identified as the lead ship of the group. It looked slightly bigger (or at least more advanced) than the other design, at least from what I saw of it.
