EAS Fleet Yards

There are at least 50 to 60 known past and present classes of Starfleet vessels that have been mentioned on screen or in reference works. Only some 20 to 30 of them could be seen in various episodes. Unfortunately the budget for models has always been limited, so we never saw an Istanbul-class, Surak-class or Yorkshire-class starship. Go to the ASDB if you are interested in conjectural designs for these canon but obscure ships.

Beginning in 1994, I have designed several starship classes from the foundation of Starfleet to the end of the 24th century. All starships depicted in this section are entirely non-canon. I hope I was careful to fit the new designs into the timeline, complying with the various technical requirements for Starfleet vessels as well as the registry scheme. What you won't find here is fanboyish überships with overblown armament or with extra nacelles in every corner.

You may use the following starship graphics as you like, but please include credits to EAS. I made the drawings with Micrografx Designer 4/6/8, and unfortunately there is no possibility to convert them to newer formats without extreme information loss. But I can provide larger bitmap image files if requested. If you are interested in designing starships, you should check the Technical Support about using drawing software and my Starship Design Guidelines with rules for what may be considered good starship design.
