10 Worst Ever Starships In Star Trek

8. Mazarite Ships

Kitbashing is a tried and tested method of creating new ships quickly when one is against the clock for a visual asset. Let this be clear, there isn't a thing wrong with kitbashing as a method - it is simply the mashing together of existing model parts and designs to give us something new - that's fine!

In the case of the Mazarite ships from Enterprise's first season episode Fallen Hero, the audience gets two for the price of one. This was an early example of digital kitbashing, which is exactly what it sounds like: adding together digital elements to create a new ship. It was also one of the earliest re-uses of a design in Enterprise.

This re-use focused on Andrew Probert's D'Deridex Romulan warbird from The Next Generation. The dorsal section of those beasts was lifted off, given a brown paint job, and launched out into the unknown to serve the Mazarites. They were instantly recognisable, highlighting their birth, rather than hiding it.

They were effectively flying wings and looked about as mean. They were thrifty, but that's about it.
