We’re back with a look ahead to what’s coming down the interstellar pipeline from Hero Collector, as today we can bring you a pair of exclusive first looks at November’s upcoming additions to the Official Star Trek Starships Collection!
First up is the next addition to the slowly-growing Star Trek Universe collection: the next ship from Star Trek: Discovery is the Section 31 Deimos-Class Starship, seen in “Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2” during the epic battle against Control.
SECTION 31 DEIMOS-CLASS (ISSUE #9) — Among the secretly-developed stealth ships employed by Starfleet’s covert ops organization Section 31, the Deimos-class served the role of mothership.
Based on a smaller Federation design for an intel science destroyer, the Deimos was extended to a length of almost 900 meters, with swarms of autonomous drone-fighters stored in the saucer “wings” on either side of its central spine.
Like all Section 31 ships, the Deimos was designed for subtlety and deniability – upon entering “dark mode”, many of the ship’s external structures folded in on themselves to reduce its silhouette, and all external lights cut out, rendering it almost invisible in the vacuum of space.
The Deimos-class starship model measures in just over 8.5 inches long, and is expected to retail at $54.95 / €49.99 / £39.99.

We can round out November’s new releases with the final addition to the Star Trek Online series of starship models: the Concorde-class Federation Command Battlecruiser, another ship which came from the quadrant-spanning Khitomer Alliance.
CONCORDE-CLASS FEDERATION OPERATION COMMAND BATTLECRUISER (Issue 20): A collaborative vessel available to Starfleet players in Star Trek Online, the Concorde-class Command Cruiser was designed as part of a joint research-and-development project between the Khitomer Alliance – at the time known as the Alpha Quadrant Alliance.
Designed for a command and co-ordination role, the ship’s comms technology allowed it to guide allied vessels to dramatic effect. Armed with phaser arrays, photon torpedos, and dual cannons, the Concorde-class hosted four Type-8 shuttles – along with the fleet support platform, which allowed it to recharge its own deflector shields, and those of nearby allied ships.
A smaller starship, the Concorde-class measures about 5.4 inches in length and will retail at $29.95 / €24.99 / £19.99.
Eaglemoss / Hero Collector program director Ben Robinson shared on Twitter last week that #20 will be the final Star Trek Online ship in the series, due to the lack of success in the marketplace.
Sadly not. We were never able to sell quite enough of these to make any money. It's a shame because there's some lovely work here. Can't thank everyone enough.

We’ll be back next month for another round of exclusive previews of Hero Collector’s upcoming Star Trek starship models — and we may have word on one or two more special releases for the fall between now and then.
