Hero Collector’s expansive publishing effort continues forward with the latest release in their Star Trek Shipyards releases and the second volume focusing on the ships of Star Trek: Voyager. Entitled The Delta Quadrant: Ledosian to Zahl, this second volume of Delta Quadrant ships — authored by William Potter, Marcus Riley, Mark Wright, Ian Chaddock and Alice Peebles — contains profiles and images from dozens of additional vessels from Voyager’s journey to the Alpha Quadrant.
Available August 10, The Delta Quadrant: Ledosian to Zahl is a companion to The Borg and the Delta Quadrant: Akritirian to Krenim, released earlier this year. This new volume explores a number of ships encountered by Voyager, both friend and foe, including the Lokirrim Warship, the Species 8472 Bioship, and the Vidiian Warships, plus many more.
Like the previous Star Trek Shipyards releases, expect that this book will feature detailed technical overviews and operational histories, with CG artwork – much of it previously unseen – that has been created using the original VFX models made for Voyager.
“Fans will see ships up close and personal, and learn more about those ships than they ever expected, especially the vessels that may have flashed for just a few seconds on their television screen years ago,” said Ben Robinson, Hero Collector’s general editor.
“Combined, the two official volumes form the most comprehensive account of ships from STAR TREK: VOYAGER ever produced.”
To whet your appetite for the coming release, TrekCore is pleased to present two exclusive spreads of one of the smallest, and one of the largest, ships encountered by Voyager during its seven-year journey.
The Baxial is Neelix’s personal starship, which travels with Voyager from the pilot until Neelix’s exit from the series in “Homestead” — but not seen on-screen until “The Chute” in Season 3.
The Voth City Ship, seen in “Distant Origin,” carries the entire population of evolved Saurians who escaped from Earth before the extinction of the dinosaurs. This has to be one of the largest ships Starfleet has ever encountered in its travels.
There are also a few additional previews from the book’s Amazon listing, including the deadly Species 8472 Bioship from “Scorpion,” and the Lokirrim Warship from “Body and Soul.”
All this and more will be available in The Delta Quadrant: Ledosian to Zahl when it releases on August 10, so if you are a Star Trek: Voyager, fan you are not going to want to miss this — you can lock in your preorder today.
Look for TrekCore’s reviews of both Delta Quadrant Shipyards releases together in the coming weeks — and let us know what starships from the back half of the alphabet you’re looking forward to seeing!
