10 July 2010 | CARDASSIAN SHIPYARD

The first episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’s seventh and final season called for an extended Cardassian shipyard complex which would appear just twice on the show in total. John Eaves, who worked as a production illustrator on Deep Space Nine, devised a vast installation reminiscent of the Deep Space Nine space station itself, before a rather less ambitious but sprawling design was decided upon.

See Eaves’ designs along with the final model in our latest entry, “The Cardassian Shipyard That Wasn’t.”

8 July 2010 | MIKE MINOR PORTRAIT

Mike Minor was one of the people brought in during the late 1970s to work on Star Trek: Phase II. He provided sketches for what should have become the new Enterprise’s sets, including its Bridge, Sickbay and Engineering section. His designs are on display on the Phase II interior design page.

Unfortunately we never had a portrait of Mr Minor here at Forgotten Trek. Thanks to Doug Drexler, who posted this picture at his blog, Drex Files, we know now what this legendary Star Trek artist looked like!
