If I recall correctly from the last SNW anthology I picked up, the "speculations" category is basically a bit of a free for all where writers can put together a story set in the Trek universe, but not necessarily constrained by the settings of any of the series.
One story, for example, showed us the crew of the USS Enterprise NCC 1701-Infinity travelling the universe. Another showed us galactic history from the perspective of the Horta and was interesting enough.
I think the speculation section of the books is an interesting way to widen the scope of the contest a little...though IMO the quality of the stories in SNW has slipped in recent years - some of the ones in the last anthology I thought were just plain dull to be honest, not far above the usual "shuttle crash" level of drama you get on some televised trek.
Of course, sorry if I've misunderstood the question and made myself look somewhat foolish! :-)
Cheers

Wes: Yeah, I've seen that nebula, or one similar to it, in lots of fan CGI renders. But it might be pretty new for book covers.
Andrew: I'm pretty sure I wasn't influenced by Species 8472 ships. The pylons are mostly straitght lines, other than the slightly curved "webbing" between them.
Thanks, guys!

I realize I'm coming in to this really, really late, but then it's never too late to kiss up, right...?
Great job, Masao! I really like the basic design layout on that w/the docking ring around the "middle" like the TMP Office Complex and Regula One stations. Nice bit of continuity! Proportions look good, too.
