Yes this was my inspiration for the World Razer’s saucer. Not the TOS Raider but the Razer Raider. @StarTrek #picard #worldrazer #galaxyclass

Star Trek's Galaxy-Class star drive section powerless, damaged, and adrift in space. Blue text at top reads: "USS Syracuse NCC-17744." Blue text at bottom reads: "Rediscovered 23 92." TNG font used.
Syracuse, the star-drive used to rush the Enterprise D back into service against the Borg in 2401, deserved to have some kind of backstory. So, I'm working on giving her one.

Voices from the Yard Shipwright Lioren Vale Utopia Planitia Shipyards, Mars – 2352 I’ve been in this trade a long time. Helped build Excelsior cruisers back when they were still the crown jewels of Starfleet. Gamma welded the bulkheads of the Ambassadors that were meant to usher in a new age of diplomacy. I’ve seen starships take shape from the first laid keel to the last hull plating. But nothing—not a single project I’ve worked on—comes close to what we’re building now. These Galaxy class are unlike anything we’ve ever attempted. When we started laying down the first frames on the Martian plains, the sheer scale of them defied belief. The saucer alone is the size of a city. I’ve walked along its framework, through cavernous compartments meant to house families, scientists, diplomats, all alongside the most advanced propulsion systems ever developed. We don’t just build ships anymore. We build civilizations—vessels designed to sustain entire communities as they venture into the unknown. Utopia Planitia has never seen an undertaking like this. The old yards had been resting on their laurels for a time—smaller projects, standard hulls, refits and maintenance cycles. But this… this has revitalized everything. There’s a new energy here, a sense that we are truly at the frontier of what Starfleet can accomplish. Thousands of us work in shifts, constructing, assembling, refining—every weld, every rivet, every isolinear relay is done with the knowledge that these ships are going to be the first step into a much
bigger universe. And today—today is the day we watched one of them take flight. For months, we’ve been shaping these hulls right here on the Martian surface, piecing them together under the blue-glow of the shipyard beacons, their skeletal frames rising like mountains from the ground. But they don’t belong here. They belong among the stars. So we link them up to the orbital tethers. Heavy-lift tractor assemblies, electromagnetic guidance locks, graviton stabilizers—all engaging in perfect sequence. And then, slowly, impossibly, the behemoth begins to rise. It’s an eerie thing to watch—hundreds of thousands of tons, an entire city, lifting into the air as if gravity itself has momentarily forgotten how to work. The ground crews step back, craning their necks, shielding their eyes as the hull ascends, inch by inch, meter by meter, higher and higher. At first, you can still see the raw details—the unpolished duranium plating, the open cavities where the impulse manifolds will go. But then, as it rises, the light changes, and the hull begins to glow in the Martian sunlight, turning gold against the sky. And it keeps going. Up, past the drifting clouds of construction drones, past the carrier platforms, past the drydocks where Excelsiors and Nebulas are getting their maintenance checks. Soon, it’s just a speck against the sky, a single gleaming light among the other specks of the orbiting docks. And then it’s gone, pulled into the final assembly stations, where it will be fitted with warp cores, computer cores, the heart and soul of a vessel meant to last for a century. And we watch. We watch because we know that one day, these ships will leave us behind. They’ll break
orbit, sail beyond Mars, beyond the Sol system, beyond anything we’ll ever see in our lifetimes. And sometimes I wonder—will a ship I helped build make it to the far side of the galaxy? Will it find worlds untouched, civilizations undreamed of? Maybe. But for now, we keep building. Because the future doesn’t wait. And neither do the stars.
An illistration of the saucer of a Galaxy Class starship being raised from the Martian Surface
For this #TrekTuesday, we’re sharing something special, a short excerpt from "A New Starfleet".
Told through the eyes of a veteran shipbuilder, it captures the quiet wonder of watching a Galaxy-class starship rise from Martian soil into the stars.

Any Trekkies out there looking for new art to proudly display? I hand draw all things ships: windows, hull markings, escape pods, everything. Ships are drawn in angles/positions we don’t typically see. #dubbryan #startrek #startrekfanart #startrekships #galaxyclass #ussenterprised #procreate

Playing a little on my take of the I.S.S.Galaxy that is equipped a little differently than the I.S.S. Enterprise that is seen in the IDW comics. I added two Phaser lances to the bottom of the saucer section.

Let's start with the letter D: #StarTrek #Generations famous scene, the last warp jump of the #Enterprise-D
And yes, I counted the windows on the OG movie model to know which is on, off and which color.

USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D speeds into frame, viewed from below
In celebration of #Generations Day (or should it be #Nexus Day??), here's a render of the #EnterpriseD I made last year! The model is by my friend Lewis Niven, with a few small mods by myself. 🖖
Rendered with #Redshift3D in #Cinema4D.

Quick flyby test animation I created a while back to try out Lewis Niven's fantastic #GalaxyClass model! I made a few small changes to the model first. 🖖
The window glass material is far too reflective - you can't see through the ship!
