Let it be known that I am posting this one against my wife's best judgment. She does not agree with my lighting (coming from both the galactic plane and the primary star). We both hold a BS’ in astronomy, so we are at a stalemate... and as artist-in-residence I claim superior understanding of light and color. I may yet be wrong.... but at this juncture (as I hit SUBMIT), I do not think I am in error. Quite the contrary I am feasting on its coolness. So full steam ahead!

(even if it does mean I sleep on the couch....)

At 36700 light years from the galactic plane in the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy, the Clarke discovers the ruins of the Skeva'K'kk culture - a discovery that may very alter the path of social and technological development of the United Federation of Planets. And even if its ramifications aren't so dramatic, it has certainly changed the future of key members of the Clarke's crew.

Is there a blueprint mockup of this design of starship? Just wondering because at first glance there are a few things that might be problematic with the design. For instance, where is the impulse engines? I'm guessing its in the center strip like it is on the Enterprise-D. Also, the hangers 1 and 2 seem to have an obstacle in the way of any shuttle or ship trying to leave or exit...namely the warp engines. Just askin. Great job on the painting, though. Some of the best rendering of a starship I've ever seen.

The impulse engines are actually part way up the nacelle pylons. I think shuttlecrafts would have a clear shot into the primary hull bays, but the angled placement would suggest that they could only land when the ship was stationary OR that landing would require computer autopilot.
