Star Trek: Discovery - The Official Starships Collection

Page created 24th September 2017. Last updated 28th February 2021.

Star Trek: Discovery - The Official Starships Collection is a series of model starships with accompanying magazines, published by Eaglemoss from early 2018 until early 2021. It is a spin-off series from the long running Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection, focusing solely on Discovery.

The series follows the same basic structure as the original Starships Collection, with each issue including a model starship, and a magazine detailing the ship from both an in-universe and production point of view. The models are larger than standard size in the former collection however (similar sized to the occasional "special" issues of the previous series), and are released monthly (rather than fortnightly).

With initial plans for twenty issues, the series ultimately released thirty-three regular issues, four specials, and two bonus variants. Future Discovery ships will continue to be released as part of the wider Star Trek Universe collection.

This list is in release order.

#1 USS Shenzhou NCC-1227 (Walker class)

#2 USS Discovery NCC-1031 (Crossfield class)

Star Trek Hallmark Keepsake decorations

Hallmark's Keepsake range is a huge ongoing series of Christmas decorations, featuring characters and other designs from numerous properties, including Star Trek. The first Star Trek design, a model of the USS Enterprise was released in 1991, and there have been new Star Trek ornaments every year ever since, with between one and six new Star Trek designs available every year.

For most of the run of the series Star Trek offerings have tended to fall into three categories: Models of ships, which have featured every year but one since the first Star Trek piece in the range. Figurines of individual characters, sometimes with sections of a location, which have featured almost most years since 1995. And dioramas featuring multiple characters and/or sections of locations, most often recreating specific moments from episodes and movies; these have been a regular feature in the range since 2004.

There have been a handful of other formats as well, including more traditional glass decorations, props, and even a postage stamp. There have also been occasional larger ornaments aside from the tree-hanging type, including table-top pieces and tree toppers. Many of the ornaments feature light or sound effects.

The 2020 introduces a new Storytellers range, which interact with each other to tell stories, varying depending on which decorations you have.

This list is split into six, collecting together the starships range, figurines, dioramas, Storytellers, other hanging decorations, and larger format releases. Within each section the lists are in reverse release order, with the latest designs at the top of the section.

Star Trek stories by John Jackson Miller

This is a list of Star Trek stories written by John Jackson Miller, who to date has written a number of stories in the 24th century era. Before entering the world of Star Trek, Miller was a well established writer, particularly known for his many Star Wars comics and novels.

Miller would have written for Star Trek many years earlier, having sold a story for what would have been a novella in the Corps of Engineers series - Indeed it was his first successful prose pitch. Unfortunately the series was then cancelled before his story reached publication.

The list below is of Miller's Star Trek stories, presented in publication order.
