In this entry we’ll bring some of these sketches to the forefront. As an extra added super bonus, Mike Okuda has contributed his notes which analyze the bullpen in detail.

An image I planned to use for the Ships of the Line calendar, but Pocket Books was not able to secure the rights to use Franz Joseph’s design. Just ran across it. Thought is was fun!

The Vanguard design ultimately found it’s way into Star Trek Enhanced for “The Ultimate Computer.” Continue reading ‘Masao Okazaki’s Vanguard Station’
