Star Trek: 10 Secrets About Spacedock One You Need To Know
9. Digitial Distinctions
The design for the Spacedock station was seen outside of live-action Star Trek with its most significant appearance in the third season of Lower Decks.
Douglas Station was the launch site for the Texas Class automated craft sponsored by Vice Admiral Les Buenamigo. This offered a rare chance to see the Spacedock type utilise its defence systems as it combatted the rogue ships, although these phaser turrets proved fairly ineffectual against the drone Starfleet prototypes.
Douglas Station was also used as the launch site for the USS Cerritos in Mariner's Crisis Point re-written holodeck adventure. The introductory scene of the Cerritos in that movie pastiche has all the trademarks of The Motion Picture combined with the aesthetic of the blue-hued Spacedock interior as per Star Trek III.
Douglas Station was also the final destination for the generation ship in Moist Vessel as well as the site for repairs following the incident with the Pakled clumpships in No Small Parts. In fact, Lower Decks has also allowed fans inside the living space in the structure and the offices of its top brass, something never done in the movies. Size suggests that this version is more in line with the original Spacedock One design than the upscaled edition used for its various TNG episode appearances.
