SOURCES
|
Here you'll
find a listing of
the most popular sources that we used when creating our starship
specs. With the exception of the Starship Spotter, all of the
books and magazines listed are official sources for Star Trek material,
while the rest are merely places where true and factual information can
be obtained, but they are no means an official source in their own
right. Those interested in learning more about Star Trek, and
not just the technology, will find a handy link to Amazon.com, with a
portion of the profits from your purchase going to help fund ST:ACTD.

Deep Space Nine to the end of its run and Voyager to midway through
season five. It also covers the movie Star Trek: Insurrection.
Appendices include illustrations of starships, cast and crew listings,
a historical timeline, and a bibliography. The encyclopedia was devised
in part to help production staff on the various Star Trek TV series to

years of creative effort. It is an excellent reference volume and,
whether you want to settle an argument or write a novel, this book will

of a nearby stable wormhole connecting the Alpha Quadrant with the

Star
Trek: Starship Spotter - Buy @ Amazon
by Adam "Mojo" Lebowitz and
Robert Bonchune
Starship
Spotter was created more than two centuries ago to serve as a reference
guide to assorted space-going vessels. Captains of the spaceships of
the United Earth Space Probe Agency used this simple paper tool to
enable a ship's crew to quickly distinguish friend from foe in the
unexplored reaches of the cosmos. When the services were merged to form
Starfleet, this paper book disappeared from use. Only recently
rediscovered, the newest editions of this book have been the sole
purview of Starfleet Academy.
