Columbia dedication plaque

Columbia's plaque

Columbia's dedication plaque was hidden by plastic sheeting in "Home". For "Affliction", conduits were added to Columbia's bridge which obscured most of the plaque.

Two plaques were constructed for Columbia, one with a metallic version of the Columbia assignment patch and one with a color version, though it's unclear which was used on set. The color version was made from black poster board, depicted in Star Trek Encyclopedia, 4th ed., vol. 1, p. 192, and sold as part of It's A Wrap! sale and auction. [1](X) The metallic version used raised lettering on masonite, and was also sold through It's A Wrap. [2](X)
