Galaxy class starship

The Galaxy-class model was designed by Andrew Probert for Star Trek: The Next Generation. Interiors were designed by Probert and Herman Zimmerman during the first season.[2] Richard D. James designed and rebuilt the sets for the remaining six years, while Zimmerman returned for Star Trek Generations. Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry stated that only six Galaxy-class starships had been constructed, however, in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episodes "Sacrifice of Angels" and "Favor the Bold" no less than nine are seen as part of a single "Fleet" and by this point in the series the Galaxy-class USS Enterprise-D, USS Yamato, and USS Odyssey had been destroyed.

Within the series it is stated that design and construction of the Galaxy-class began in the 2340s, with the first ships being commissioned in the 2360s. According to dialog in the Next Generation episodes "11001001"and "Booby Trap", designers of the USS Enterprise-D included Orfil Quinteros and Leah Brahms.

The ship's design features a saucer section connected via a vertical pylon to the stardrive section. Affixed to the rear of the stardrive section are two pylons, and atop each is a warp nacelle.
