10 Times Star Trek Reused Ships And Hoped You Wouldn’t Notice

This ship began its life in the episode Suddenly Human. Rick Sternbach based the design on coast guard training ships, with two solar-powered sails above and below the vessel. The pointed nose of the ship would end up being the section that lasted for each alteration. First, the ship was given a mild refit to appear as a Kiosian ship in The Perfect Mate.

The heaviest modification came when it was altered to become the Tamarian deep space cruiser, which debuted in the episode Darmok. Here. additional nacelle struts were added to the port and starboard, with a red hue.

This configuration would return in Deep Space Nine as both the Klaestron and T'Lani vessels, before appearing in Voyager as an imaginary Bothan ship, and a Drayan cruiser as well.

After the initial refit to include the nacelles, the model largely remained in the same configuration, with simple changes like the colour of the nacelles, though for its appearance as the Drayan starship, the nacelles themselves were given a mild change as well.
