We kept a looseleaf binder with swatches of fabric representing the major players on DS9. It helped to synchronize our designs with other departments, and give the different races an ethnicity.

The Fabric of Space – 2
NX Engineering Department
As I’m reviewing my files I have come to a realization. I always knew that the Enterprise sets were exceptional, but now with some perspective I say that they are Star Trek masterpieces. They represent years of experience, with input from some of the finest Trek minds it has been my privilege to know. Herman Zimmerman, John Eaves, Mike Okuda, and the set designers blew the doors off. The NX Engineering set is not only convincing and functional looking, you can see the respect for what came before it in every angle. We loved the dedicated horizontal warp core, and felt that if you could rip up the deck in Scotty’s engineering, you would find a gargantuan version of this running off underneath the cathedral, and then straight up to the warp engines.
