Gah. The kids these days don't even recognize a good design anymore. With all your new fangled air-o-dynamics and glowing gadgets. In our days, we were happy with a starship looking like a shampoo bottle!

Well, no, not speaking in the strictest sense of the word there isn't. But it WAS designed by Jein in the first place specifically to represent the Daedalus, and it's been universally regarded as such by Paramount, so...

And, if we're going to go down this road, there's no canon evidence that the shampoo bottle with ball attached ship even existed for real in Trek.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

True, very, very true. However, that "early warp ship" model was also designed by Jein in the first place specifically to represent Cochrane's first warpship. Except...that got changed by STFC. And that cigar-shaped ship with the wings on the fins, don't even get me started about that...

Actually... the Daedalus model appeared at one point as a model in Captain Sisko's office on DS9 (see "The Art of Star Trek" by the Reeves-Stevens', page 6). So unless it was a fictitious vessel as decoration, which to me seems unlikely, that's your evidence of it existing right there.

Yes, we know. And at one point, there was a model of a movie-Constitution class ship with it's nacelles on backwards in someone's quarters. Are we going to insist that exists now?
And, to extend it, I have an Optimus Prime figure on a shelf in my room, because I am cool. Is that proof that there's a truck (or fine engine, in this case) out there that transforms into a giant robot?

Next scene: Riker lies on the floor motionless, a piece missing from his neck... Worf wiping blood and flesh off his mouth onto the sleeve of his uniform.
