Background information

  • The USS Voyager chapter was expanded from magazine issue 8's four pages to eighteen pages for the book, and incorporated additional concept art from Rick Sternbach and Doug Drexler. The book also introduced concept art from Jim Martin, some of which Ben Robinson had previewed earlier on Twitter. [1] [2]
  • The two V'ger chapters are entirely new for this collection, as a magazine and model for the collection were not foreseen for the collection at the time of the book's publication. Robinson questioned if many would even recognize the design, due to its minimal screen time. The two chapters themselves however, were re-edited from the two original articles he and his team had already written and illustrated for the 2001 Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 2, Issue 8 publication of his previous Fabbri Publishing (US) assignment. (pp. 70-73 & 90-96) In March 2019, V'ger was eventually released in the "special edition" side collection of the partwork, the two chapters reprinted in the accompanying magazine.
