Non-Existent Ships
Note While the existence of some vessels in other sections of this database may be doubtful, the following ships were definitely just made up.
Captain Proton
Rocket ship |
General descriptionThis fictional rocket ship was created by Tom Paris for his holonovel series The Adventures of Captain Proton.Gallery: Holograms |
Known shipsNo name given |
AnnotationsThe exterior of the ship was shown in VOY: "Thirty Days" and ""Bride of Chaotica!". The styling of everything Captain Proton is heavily influenced by the Flash Gordon serials from the late 1930's. Specifically, the design of Proton's ship is very clearly based on the Ming bomber from Flash Gordon. The overall shape and many details are the same. |

Incredible Tales of Scientific Wonder
Various rockets and spaceships, seen in the office of Douglas Pabst, the publisher of Incredible Tales of Scientific Wonder in DS9: "Far Beyond the Stars"
There were just too many sketches and magazine titles to be listed separately. The red model rocket looks remarkably similar to one featured in the Tintin comic Destination Moon.
Malosian
Museum of Kyrian Heritage
"Warship Voyager" |
General descriptionThis version of USS Voyager existed in records of the Kyrians for 700 years until the 31st century. "The warship Voyager - one of the most powerful vessels of its time. Armed with photonic torpedoes and particle weapons, this ship of destruction could wipe out an entire civilization within hours." |
Known shipsUSS Voyager |
AnnotationsUpon the arrival of the real USS Voyager at the Kyrian homeworld a war with the Vaskans broke out that almost wiped out the Kyrian culture. Centuries later the Kyrians obviously followed a revisionist interpretation of history in which they put the blame for the war on the crew of Voyager. In the Museum of Kyrian Heritage historians created an alleged reconstruction of history in which Voyager was a heavily armed warship manned by a ruthless crew. A backup copy of the EMH could eventually rectify the role of his crew (VOY: "Living Witness"). |
Class specificationsWarship |
Nexus Reality
Talaxian
Toy ship |
General descriptionIt is unlikely that this model was built after an authentic (Talaxian) ship. If it was, the prototype is not recognizable owing to the coarse finish of the toy. |
Known shipsNo name given |
AnnotationsBrax, the Talaxian boy, holds a toy ship in his hands in VOY: "Homestead". It may represent an existing Talaxian vessel, maybe even one of the disassembled ships that brought the colonists to the asteroid. But it looks overall rather crude, not like an authentic replica, unlike the Malon model ship. The toy was put together using a metallic turned part, possibly a drill or similar tool casing, various fan grills and a transformer coil. |

Unknown Class
Corsair, cargo ship, made up by Arik Soong's Augments in an attempt to capture the Denobulan medical ship Barzai in ENT: "Cold Station 12"
USS Lollipop, mentioned by Will Riker in TNG: "Arsenal of Freedom"
Riker made up this vessel when he noticed that he was talking to a phony Starfleet captain. We know that it's "a good ship", as Riker said. This is a tip of the hat to an old song about "The Good Ship Lollipop" performed by Shirley Temple in "Bright Eyes" (1934).
USS Titan, retroactively inserted as a previous command (since stardate 47203) in Will Riker's fake future in TNG-R: "Future Imperfect"
Riker will really take command of a USS Titan around stardate 56844.9 ("Star Trek: Nemesis", LOW: "No Small Parts"). Stardate 47203 would be almost ten years sooner, and corresponds to the early 7th season of the real timeline. So is this the now familiar USS Titan?. Well, "Future Imperfect" shows a fake reality that was apparently created by an alien without knowledge of the future (Riker will never have a son named Jean-Luc, for instance). Perhaps the name he made up for the ship is just a coincidence?
USS Vortex, fictional ship in the Doctor's version of Photons be Free, interior seen in VOY: "Author, Author"
On the USS Vortex the poor EMH is suppressed by his humanoid crewmates. "Capt. Jenkins" murders a crewman just because she wants "Lt. Marseille", the EMH's inveterate enemy, to receive preferred treatment. We know little about the ship itself, but we may assume that it looks not unlike USS Voyager and that it belongs, let's say to the Intrigue class.
USS Voyeur, fictional ship in Tom Paris's version of Photons be Free, interior seen in VOY: "Author, Author"
The USS Voyeur is an overall more pleasant place than the USS Vortex, only that it suffers from the arrogance of its EMH. We know little about the ship itself, but we may assume that it looks not unlike USS Voyager and that it belongs, let's say to the Intimate class.
