More than two years after licensee QMx revealed — and curiously forgot about — their Captain Pike Star Trek: Discovery Starfleet delta badges, Star Trek pin production company FanSets has picked up the dropped ball with their just-announced Pike-era USS Enterprise delta release!
Up for preorder now, with an anticipated first-shipment date in July, is the command-division Starfleet delta badge worn by Captain Pike, Number One, and the crew of the USS Enterprise during the Discovery-era 23rd century — a play on the classic Star Trek delta patch — featuring a gold Starfleet symbol backed by silver.
This design is one that’s been hotly demanded by fans who had their hopes up for the Captain Pike Enterprise badge since it debuted on-screen in 2019 — and the magnet-backed Enterprise delta debuts at a $19.99 price point, and is available for preorder now at the FanSets website. A pin-backed version is on its way as well, available for preorder at $17.99.
Along with the new Captain Pike design is a second release of the “All Good Things…” alternate-future Starfleet badge, released as a pin-back edition earlier this year — a magnetic-backed version is coming next month, available for preorder here for $19.95.
The company still has a number of Starfleet badges on the way for collectors in the months ahead, including their edition of the Discovery Section 31 delta, the new oval “tri-combadges” worn by the Star Trek: Discovery crew in the 32nd century, the “Future Imperfect” bar-backed designs from The Next Generation, one from the Kelvin Timeline, and the classic movie era design introduced in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
