- Never heard of it? It's also known as "The nobble on the underside of the
- saucer section, in the center". Supposedly called Calypso, it is oval,
- bluish and stupid-looking. I borrowed the Enterprise-D technical manual, and
- modelled it from that. Why? I don't know. I only borrowed the manual for a
- quick read. I must have been REALLLY bored.
- It is supposed to go at mach 20 in atmosphere, although if you ask me
- this is bollocks. Mach 20 into the ground would be preferable. They go and
- build the Captain a yacht and he never uses it anyway.
-
- Still, I'm sure it'll come in handy when I need a craft to get the shit
- kicked out of it by a B-Wing or Star Fury in an animation.
-
- I don't actually hate Star Trek. I just hate Deep Space 9, the really
- crap episodes of TNG and anybody who spends their time learning Klingon and
- memorising all the Treknobabble jargon. And believing it.
- Besides, who needs Star Trek when we've got Babylon 5?

- Do what you like with this model. Especially if it involves fire.
- I don't really give a buggers (as long as you don't sell it).
