Eternity Class

Here's my latest, started doodling at work, and turned into this:

The USS Lustrum, Eternity Class.

Right now, I have it as a Temporal Research vessel, inspired by the USS Relativity in the Voyager episode of the same name. I know its an odd classifiction, but i really thought the Relativity was cool, and i figured when voyager made it back, and Starfleet, specifically temporal investigation, read the reports on the Relativity, they decided to push for a more aggresive temporal research division.

I plan on making the ship decently powerful too, because the information contained on such a ship would be very sensitive and be a prime target for sabotage and subversion.

As always, let me know what you think.

Nice looking ship - you can see the Relativity-esque bits, but it also has a clear lineage to the Steamrunner class. A good blend of the future and the past.

What's the translation of the ship's motto?

Agreed. Thats a sexy ship!

Cool looking ship but the top view looks really weird. Not bad just unusual.

It definatly has Steamrunner influence in it.

I think it means something like: the truth will always appear.

As for the nacelles, I'd suggest making a slightly better blending of the nacelles with the hull.

I think it's a great blend of the features seen on Relativity and Wells combined with current design features. Well Done!

Google comes up trumps

Veritum Dies Aperit - "Time Discovers the Truth". Nice, and appropriate for a Temporal Investigations ship.

Thank you for the comments guys!! And good job to Cpt. Seafort for decoding the quote

To shran, I know what you mean, it looks like the nacelles arent really attached. I think I used the wrong line weight in CAD and made the boundary of it too dark, especially on the top view. I may go back and fix it.

I will try to get some specs up tonight too.

Nice ship. You can see the lineage from other vessels in it.

And damn it Seafort! You beat me to the quote!

Very nice. Like the others said you can really see the linage of the other ships in this one. Soon as I saw it before I read your description I knew it was a temporal ship. Very classy.

Great stuff. I love the front view. The top is sorta odd, as previously stated. But a pretty cool design!

I made it sorta triangular/arrow shape becuase i was originally going to name it Times Arrow, but I decided that a two word name didnt sound as good.

And the litte spikes/hooks on the sides are in my minds, supposed to be some sort of sensor that needs to be away from the rest of the hull.
