16 December 2009 | JEFFERIES PHASE II SKETCHES

When Star Trek was to make its return to television with Phase II, Gene Roddenberry asked Matt Jefferies to refit the Enterprise that he had designed more than ten years before. As you can read in our article, “Designing the Phase II Enterprise,” Jefferies upgraded the design yet the sketches he produced for it we wrongly identified as being part of the development of the The Original Series—until now.

Thanks to Mr Matt Lawrence, who spotted the “June 77” date on these drawings, they are finally on the page they belong.
