| Published: | Paperback reference book - 1980 |
This book was authored by two notable Star Trek contributors: Geoffrey Mandel, who worked on some of the Star Trek TV series and has authored other publications, official and unofficial, his most recent licensed work being Star Trek: Star Charts; and Doug Drexler, who has also worked on the Star Trek TV series, authored two Star Trek Gold Key Comics and contributed to other Star Trek publications, recently co-editing the Ships of the Line book which included many images created by him.
The book provided details on names and birthplaces for many of the Original Series characters; however, many of these were later superseded by information from canon and licensed sources.
[edit] Ships of the Star Fleet
Ships of the Star Fleet was a series of manuals published by Mastercom Data Center in the 1980s, without using the Star Trek name or license. The style of these was so popular that other fan publishers continued the series online with TNG style sequels. While the published manuals were unlicensed, much of their art and concepts has later been depicted in licensed Star Trek.
[edit] Licensed uses
- Decatur-class - The Decatur class shown in the Volume 1 manual was illustrated in TOS comic: "Who's Who in Star Trek" #2 as part of a showcase of ship designs, labeled with the same name used in SotSF. A ship of this type was later seen in the TNG comic: "Thin Ice".
- USS Daran - The USS Daran shown in the Volume 1 manual was illustrated in the "Sweeney" storyline of DC's TOS comics.
- Akula-class - The Akula from Volume 2 was used in the video game Legacy.
[edit] Last Unicorn RPGs
Last Unicorn Games were a publisher who for a time held the rights to publish Star Trek RPGs. In 2000, Last Unicorn was bought by Wizards of the Coast. Subsequently Paramount decided not to keep their deal with LUG, and instead awarded the RPG license to Decipher.
