AUGUST 10, 2021 - Yesterday, we told you about an upcoming book of Star Trek ships, which was no doubt exciting to hear.

But wait, there’s more!

According to The Trek Collective, Hero Collector is also coming out this month with a new volume in their Star Trek Shipyards series. Starfleet Ships: 2294 – the Future is an updated edition of that title, and takes into account new ships from Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Picard, and Star Trek: Lower Decks. Some of those include the new 32nd century ships, the U.S.S. Discovery-A, the U.S.S. Cerritos, the Titan, and the Vancouver. It also corrects the omission from the first edition of the Akira class (seen in Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and Star Trek: Voyager). This volume represents the first time that a book in the series has been updated, and the illustrations feature CG artwork, including VFX models produced for the show.

The Trek Collective notes that “[t]he Star Trek Shipyards series builds upon content from the various versions of [Eaglemoss’s] Official Starships Collection, along with new pages, to catalogue the starships of the Star Trek universe….”

Starfleet Ships: 2294 – the Future will be available August 24th, and you can preorder it now at Amazon.com or wherever you get your books.
