Star Trek - Presidential Starship

[hal]

Hey Everyone,

Started work on a ship from the Start Trek Universe today. The design is based off an original concept for the Defiant from the Art of Star Trek. I love the design but though it was more suited to the role of a science vessel or a small scout. I then thought it would be great if it was a ship for the official use of the president and council of the Federation.

First thing I need help on is the name. I prefer the name Federation One but as the military wing of the Federation then maybe I should go with Star Fleet One (like Air Force One). Which one do you guys think?

So far I've spent just over an hour working out the overall shape and proportions. I'm not following the original design to the letter and will be taking several liberties with the details. I see this ship being in service around the the time of the Enterprise C and would only ever operate deep in Federation space. Here's the first renders along with the original concept art.

Cheers

Hal
