Satarran
Ship |
General descriptionThe Satarran ship is a small vessel on a considerably lower technology than the Federation.Article: Redresses of the Mondor |
Known shipsNo name given |
AnnotationsThe Satarran vessel was used by the infiltrator "Kieran McDuff" in TNG: "Conundrum". He destroyed the ship, which leads us to believe that he was alone aboard. The miniature had previously appeared as Pakled vessel in TNG: "Samaritan Snare". It may have been slightly redressed, removing the dish at the bottom and adding some lighted boxes to the top, but that was only vaguely visible. There would be no problem if the two basic designs were the same. |

Sheliak
Colony ship |
General descriptionThis is a large personnel transport of the Sheliak Corporate, very advanced and heavily armed but with otherwise unknown capabilities.Article: Redresses of the Merchantman Gallery: Alpha and Beta Quadrant Ships, Part 1 |
Known shipsNo name given |
AnnotationsThe Sheliak ship is a redress of the Merchantman from "Star Trek III" with an additional bridge-like superstructure, two long pods on the ventral side and other changes. The ship should be regarded as an indigenous Sheliak design, especially since we must assume it to be much larger than the small freighter, and much more advanced anyway. |

Class specificationsLength: 5m |
Ship type 2 |
General descriptionThese ships will be used by the Sphere Builders in the 26th century. |
Known shipsNo name given |
AnnotationsA ship of this type appeared in the Battle of Procyon V in ENT: "Azati Prime". The model was formerly seen as the Devore warship. Of course, it is practically impossible for the two designs to be related. |
Class specificationsTime frame: 26th century |
Ship type 3 |
General descriptionThese ships will be used by the Sphere Builders in the 26th century. |
Known shipsNo name given |
AnnotationsA ship of this type appeared in the Battle of Procyon V in ENT: "Azati Prime". The model was formerly seen as the Kreetassan ship. Of course, the two designs may not be actually related. |
Class specificationsTime frame: 26th century |
Sphere |
General descriptionThe spheres are about 1000 years old, made entirely of a single alloy, their hulls covered with irregular diagonal panels. They are surrounded by cloaking fields. All spheres are alike. They have seven fusion reactors, each 12km long. There are 78 spheres in the Expanse that the Xindi know of.Gallery: Major Aliens of the 22nd Century |

T'Lani
Cruiser |
General descriptionNo specs are available on the T'Lani cruiser, except that a Federation runabout is no match for it.Article: Redresses of the Talarian Observation Craft |
Known shipsNo name given |
AnnotationsThe Tamarian ship (see below) was redressed for the T'Lani cruiser in DS9: "Armageddon Game". There are now four vertical fins protruding from the nacelles. Also, the front pieces of the engines were removed. The color scheme is different. The ship can be seen from both sides (actually from only one side of the miniature), so we could conclude that there is a bridge on the top as well as on the bottom. The T'Lani cruiser may have been intended to be a design different from the obviously larger and better armed Tamarian ship. |
Class specificationsLength: approx. 350m |
Takret
Ship |
General descriptionDetails on this ship type are not given, but it must be considerably faster than Warp 5.Gallery: Other Alien Ships of the 22nd Century |
Known shipsNo name given |
AnnotationsThe Takret ship could be seen in ENT: "The Catwalk". |
Class specificationsLength: approx. 46m |
Talarian
Batris type |
General descriptionThe Batris is a freighter of the Antares class, as it may be utilized by various other races aside from the Talarians. The Talarian version is armed with Merculite rockets.Article: Redresses of the Batris Article: The Antares Class(es) |
Known shipsBatris |
AnnotationsThe Batris appeared in TNG: "Heart of Glory" where it was somehow converted to a warship by renegade Klingons. It is very questionable how they could manage to destroy a Klingon battlecruiser with only a few system upgrades. "Antares class" may be a human name for a family of alien starships. Some parts of the miniature are taken from a Visitor shuttle from "V", some more from a starship built for the short-lived series Earth Star Voyager. After its first appearance in Trek the model underwent several modifications and appeared in countless more episodes. |
Class specificationsFreighterLength: approx. 290m |
Observation craft |
General descriptionThe observation craft consists of a tapered main section, an engineering section and four wings or panels whose purpose is unknown. One particular ship of this type was used as a training vessel.Article: Redresses of the Talarian Observation Craft Gallery: Alpha and Beta Quadrant Ships, Part 1 |
Known shipsNo name given |
AnnotationsThe observation craft from TNG: "Suddenly Human" is scratch-built after a sketch by Rick Sternbach. There is no direct comparison with the Enterprise-D from which the ship's size may be derived. The length of 150m is based on a rough structural analysis that would give us 8 decks in the wedge-shaped main section. This seems like a good figure, as it would render the observation craft smaller than the warship. Note that I have revised the very inaccurate side view from the Star Trek Fact Files. |
Class specificationsLength: approx. 150mCrew complement: 5 |
Warship |

Tamarian
Ship |
General descriptionThe Tamarian ship is more than a match for a Federation Galaxy class. It is equipped with particle weapons and with a wide-area transport inhibitor.Article: Redresses of the Talarian Observation Craft Gallery: Alpha and Beta Quadrant Ships, Part 1 |
Known shipsNo name given |
AnnotationsThe ship appeared in TNG: "Darmok". The whole main body is taken from the Talarian observation craft (see above), whose vertical and horizontal fins were replaced with a horizontal nacelle assembly. The ship model was apparently filmed upside down. The change to the miniature was obviously permanent, as the observation craft (unlike its sister design, the Talarian warship) never appeared again. The Tamarian version of the vessel, on the other hand, was slightly redressed four times for the Klaestron ship (DS9: "Dax"), the T'Lani cruiser (DS9: "Armageddon Game"), for a Bothan vessel (VOY: "Persistence of Vision") and for the Drayan ship (VOY: "Innocence"). |
Class specificationsLength: approx. 700m |
Tandaran
Patrol ship |
General descriptionThe Tandaran patrol ships are capable of landing on a planet. They are armed with pulse cannons on one side of their asymmetric catamaran hulls, but their defensive systems are no help against spatial torpedoes.Gallery: Other Alien Ships of the 22nd Century |
Known shipsNo name given |
AnnotationsTwo Tandaran ships attempted in vain to intercept Enterprise in ENT: "Detained". |

Tarellian
Ship |
General descriptionThe original purpose of the Tarellian starship is unknown, but now it is carrying the last survivors of the Tarellian race.Article: Redresses of the Tarellian Vessel Gallery: Alpha and Beta Quadrant Ships, Part 1 |
Known shipsNo name given |
AnnotationsThe ship was designed by Andrew Probert and appeared in TNG: "Haven". It is unknown what the big bubble is composed of, but is supposed to hold the propulsion system. The crew consisted of only eight survivors. We may assume that the original complement has been in the hundreds. |

Tellarite
Cruiser |
General descriptionThis design, like any other Tellarite vessel, is said to be no match for the Andorian cruisers.Article: Redresses of the Arkonian Warship |
Known shipsNo name given |
AnnotationsThis Tellarite starship from ENT: "Babel One" and "United" is a re-use of the Arkonian warship. There may be slight modifications, as the guns on the port and starboard side may have been removed. The two designs are most likely not related in any fashion, knowing that the Arkonians are xenophobic and have developed their vessels all by themselves. It is just as unlikely that the Tellarite ship has something in common with the previous re-use of the Arkonian design as the Xindi-Arboreal ship. We know that the Xindi were confined to the Expanse. |
Class specificationsNone available |
Freighter |
General descriptionThis seems to be a mid-sized interstellar freighter. |
Known shipsNo name given |
AnnotationsThe alleged Tellarite freighter turned out to be the Romulan drone ship in disguise in ENT: "The Aenar". But we should assume that the false identity was authentic. The ship we can see before it changes shape is a re-use of the Retellian freighter. These two designs may easily be related, with any of the two races being the original builders. |

Known shipsTezra |
AnnotationsSkalaar mentioned this ship, which belonged to him, in ENT: "Bounty". The ship was confiscated and dismantled by the Klingons. The Tezra class may be the Tellarite/Retellian freighter known by now, but I have the impression it must be a lot bigger to hold no less than 1 million metric tons. |

Tholian
22nd century ship |
General descriptionThe 22nd century Tholian starship with its tapered hull has few discernible features except for what seem to be warp field grilles and three engine exhausts at the aft end.

AnnotationsThe vessel was found adrift less than a light year from the Valakian homeworld in ENT: "Dear Doctor", after a travel of more than one year. The Valakian CGI model bears a resemblance to the Benkaran ship (which itself is a modification of Torat's/Kes's shuttle), but has overall different proportions, a different nose, differently shaped wings and new rectangular engines. |

Valerian
Freighter |
General descriptionValerian freighters are relatively small ships with characteristic diagonal "wings".Article: Redresses of the Talarian Warship |
Known shipsSherval Das |
AnnotationsThe Sherval Das was docked to Deep Space 9 in DS9: "Dramatis Personae". Since the Talarian patrol ship and warship (above) look like closely related designs, the various later incarnations of the characteristic warships may be of Talarian origin. They are mostly operated as freighters or science ships, though. |

Xepolite
Freighter |
General descriptionThe Xepolite freighter is an unusually fast ship with a sensor-proof coating, but it is only lightly armed.Article: Redresses of the Wadi Ship |
Known shipsNo name given |
AnnotationsThe Xepolite ship in DS9: "The Maquis" is a re-use of the Wadi ship originally built for DS9: "Move Along Home" which also showed up as a Bajoran vessel in "In the Hands of the Prophets", "Indiscretion" and "Crossfire". The film was flipped over, perhaps to give the Xepolite version a distinct appearance. It doesn't seem possible that the Xepolites are using the same design as the just discovered Wadi, and it would also be hard to reconcile with the obviously inferior Bajoran design. Maybe we are really dealing with three distinct ship types. |

The design had previously appeared in the 22nd century as a shuttle in ENT: "Broken Bow", but then with green-yellow nacelles. It doesn't really look like it would fit into Enterprise's launch bay, even if we assume it is a distinct, still smaller design. |

AnnotationsThe warship was sent to get hold of "John Doe", a Zalkonian who was about to undergo a transformation in TNG: "Transfigurations". The ship miniature previously appeared as the Tarellian vessel in TNG: "Haven" (see above). Most obviously, the spherical drive was removed, and the forked bow was replaced with a blunt front piece. The modifications may seem sufficient to establish that the two ship classes are not related to each other. |
