Logs of when a Star Trek mission actually goes smoothly and isn't full of drama: Images are a mix of screencaps from the shows or movies, artist images, or images made by me (@gaynerd53.bsky.social)

A space scene: In the foreground in the lower left corner, we have the USS Enterprise (the version from SNW). in the middle ground are four Klingon warning buoys. In the background are two ships. the one on the right is the Kobayashi Maru with a small explosion on the starboard nacelle and surrounded by a cloud of smoke. on the left a little further back is a Klingon D7 warship with a red glow coming from its photon torpedo tube as it is ready to fire. Image made by me of course :)
A space scene: In the foreground we see two sci-fi buoys. The left is a Federation buoy. It is silver, rounded, and with a blue glowing core between two oblong hemispheres. On top of the UFP buoy is a bronze dish on the top that is similar in look to a navigational deflector. The buoy on the right is one of Klingon design. It is a dark grey metal contraption of pokey bits creating a conical shape. red lights dot each cone top and bottom of the center structure holding them together. Each buoy has the logo of their respective nation. There are multiple of each buoy stretching back some distance. A Starfleet ship, the USS Lexington, is deploying the UFP's buoys. The IKS Kor is deploying the Klingon Empire's buoys.
A space scene: on the left we have the SNW USS Enterprise seen from the aft starboard side. on the right side in the background is an Icarite starship. It is twice the size of a constitution class, Golden colored with a saucer section that sits with the top of the saucer facing towards the Enterprise and four warp nacelles every 90 degrees radially. The warp nacelles are capped with a light blue glow. A small control bridge juts out from the center of the saucer. Image made by me :)
A space scene: In the lower right corner is a blue and green earth-like planet. In the upper middle is a moon of the planet. In the foreground approaching the planet is a SNW style shuttle. the rear starboard quarter is pointed towards the camera. Image made by me :)
NOT a space scene, but instead a desert scene. The terrain is brownish orange and very dry. A large peak is in the far-left background, with a few peaks in closer range before that. A smoldering and blackened saucer section of a Constitution class is crashed on the right-hand slopes of the closer mountain range. On the right side are some mesas. There are three arch formations closer to frame. In the foreground are some desert trees and plants lining a dry riverbed. The sky is a blue grey. Dotted around the surface are four shuttlecrafts like the ones seen on "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds". Two other shuttles are airborne. the small dot in the upper right sky is the Nebula-class USS Eagle high up in a low orbit over the crash site. Image painstakingly made by me! :)
A space scene. we have two ships here. to the left in the background is the Constitution class USS Enterprise (NCC-1701). On the right in the foreground is the Pioneer class USS Pioneer (NCC-1500). They are both in the "Strange New Worlds"/"Discovery" style of ships. As always image made by me :)
A space scene: We're in orbit over Earth which is in the bottom left corner. Our moon is in the top right corner. The sun is shining behind the camera because IT. IS. BRIGHT! Between the Earth and moon in frame are four Federation style drydocks in orbit above the Earth. Three docks are occupied. The ships in the docks are as follows from left to right: empty, Nebula class (23rd century), Constitution class, and Walker class. Bright lights for illuminating the work sites shine in each of the drydocks.
A space scene: In the lower left corner is the Walker class USS Shenzhou. the Shenzhou is in high orbit over a desert planet. The planet is orange with white clouds and orange dust storms covering much of the surface, but there are glimpses of planetary bodies of water that can be seen beneath the atmosphere. To the upper right of the planet is its moon peeking out from behind the planet. behind the moon is the planetary system's star peeking out from behind the moon. It shines bright and overwhelms the view of the moon. Image made by me of course. :)
The matte painting of a garden city on the surface of Bajor as seen on "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine".
Here we see the "Strange New Worlds" version of the USS Enterprise, a Constitution class starship, aimed to fly between a large ringed gas giant and a smaller rocky planetoid in space. Image made by me! :)
A nebula scene: here we see the Mutara nebula effect first used in "The Wrath of Khan" and also as almost every single damn nebula throughout the TNG era of shows in the background. In the foreground we have a "Strange New Worlds" style Nebula class. She's made of Constitution class parts and is a saucer, pylons, nacelles, an upwards pointing neck, and a circular disk of a sensor pod on top of the neck. Model made by me of course! :)
A space scene: In the upper center of the image is a 23rd century variation of the California class with the registry NCC-596. A class F shuttlecraft is flying toward the USS Chumash. In the background next to the shuttle in the lower right corner is a blue and green planet with a thin ring around it. Above the planet in orbit is a K-type space station and a variety of 23'rd century starships. The planet also has one visible moon.
A space image over a planet with a blue central ocean, yellow forests clinging to the water's edge, and baren wastes outside that. In orbit above that planet is the USS Sato, (the Oberth class starship) and a Romulan bird of prey. The Romulan ship is readying to fire its plasma torpedo. Image of course made by me :)
A deep space scene. Here we have in the foreground the Anaya class USS Nebula. The Anaya class is one of my original designs. The ship consists of a ring-shaped saucer section with a bulkier forward end, a flat elongated underslung engineering section, a sensor and weapon pod above the aft of the saucer, and four detached nacelles (two above and two below the saucers' aft). It is greyed out more than usual due to the hull damage she's taken. blue electric tendrils engulf the hull of the ship leaving dark scorch marks in their wake. the space lightning is stretching out to the ship from a nebula-looking gas and energy cloud in the background. Image made by me! :)
A space scene. On the lower left sits a light blue marble of a planet with clouds scattered about here and there over this ocean planet. to the right of the planet arriving in orbit is the NX-01 Enterprise. Two faint moons can be seen a ways above the Enterprise. in the upper left is an extra bright spot in space where the light of another planet in the system can be seen reflecting sunlight back to our perspective. Image made by me.
A scene of Earth seen from orbit. The planet is tilted to having north to the right side and we are looking at the west coast of North America and the Pacific ocean. Above the planet is the refit Crossfield class USS Discovery-A seen from the aft.
A space scene. Here we see the refit Crossfield class USS Discovery-A in a Starfleet drydock. The light from a few hexagonal lamps illuminates the battered hull of Discovery. In the background are two of each class of starships: the Friendship class, Intrepid class, and Saturn class. Image of course made by me. :)
A deep space scene. The California class USS Cerritos is dropping out of warp. blue streaks of light emanate from the warp nacelles back to the point where the ship went sub-light indicated by a bright white flash of light. Like most of my recent posts, this image was made by me! :)
A space scene. Displayed are three models of the California class that I have made forming a circle. From left to right is the 23'rd century USS Chumash NCC-596, the 24'th century USS Cerritos NCC-75567, and the 33'rd century USS Los Angeles NCC-3072901.
A deep space scene. Here we see two Klingon D7 battlecruisers, one in the upper left (IKS Skral) is firing off a salvo of photon torpedoes at the ship on the right hand side of the image (IKS Vi'chak). This one on the right has multiple explanations occurring across the ship as it is being destroyed.
A concept rendering of the shuttlebay of Federation Headquarters as seen in "Star Trek: Discovery" by Matt Morgan with shuttle design by Frank Yang. Image from Lee Fitzgerald The shuttle bay is six decks heigh with a semicircular cutout from the upper decks. A big banner of the Federation hangs from the top deck to the first floor above the lowest level. The upper decks are stocked with a number of Federation shuttlecrafts. A number of people can be seen going about their business on the lowest landing level along with a few cargo pallets. My addition to the image is an orange and gold 32nd century Ferengi shuttlecraft. It is somewhat similar to the Federation shuttlecrafts with a good number of differences. It has beetle-like pinchers in the front that act as warp nacelles and points for the phasers as well as a large wide aft section where a cargo pod, warp drive, impulse engines and the airlock are located. The Ferengi Shuttle is parked on the lower landing deck on the right side parked at an angle and facing towards the opening of the shuttlebay. (Reposted a brighter image than the previous rather dark image sorry for the re-upload)
The Crossfield class starship USS Discovery is in orbit over a blue Earth-like planet dotted with islands in a grand ocean.
A space scene. in the upper right corner is a ringed earth-like planet. It has two moons, one to the upper left of the planet at a distance, the second in the lower right foreground. The second moon has three satellites and visible structures of a lunar city. In the foreground in front of that moon is the USS Cerritos, a California class starship. In the upper left of the image is a Klingon D7 battlecruiser.
A deep space scene. Near the middle of the picture is the California class USS Cerritos, coming out from the top of the Cerritos aimed backwards is a light blue tractor beam. Being towed at the other end is the Ranger class USS Ranger.
A space scene around a light orange planet illuminated around the top by two stars in the upper right corner. The binary stars are blue and orange. The planet has two moons to the upper left. The California class USS Cerritos sits in the lower left corner.
The 32'nd century Intrepid class USS Voyager J is at warp. There are streaks of white, blue, and red as stars and other objects whip by in space at faster than light travel.
A photo from Wikipedia of some pigeons on the streets of San Francisco.
A space scene. In the background on the left is the Saturn class USS T'Plana-Hath. It is firing phasers towards the ship in the foreground on the right. The foreground ship is the Ranger class ISS Trump (NCC-4547). Besides being hit with a couple blue phaser beams it is also being struck by five blue quantum torpedoes. Explosions and sparks are happening at each point of weapons contact. The ship is also in the middle of exploding with a big bang. The name and registry are still visible on the saucer section. Image created by me Ending Mirror March with some not-so-subtle political commentary.
Space scene over Vulcan in the Mirror universe. There is a multitude of starship types in space over the planet. There are Federation ship classes surrounding the top, middle, and bottom of the image. In the center in two horizontal bands are ships from some of the founding members of this Mirror Federation. The mix of Federation ships are a mixture of canonical 32nd century designs and designs made by me. There are ships from the Klingons, Tellarites, Cardassians, Kelpiens, Vulcans, and Andorians. There are also three repair base space-stations in orbit over the planet.
A screenshot from the "Star Trek: Enterprise" episode "In a Mirror Darkly Part II (2)". We're in the black of space, on the right side is our planet Earth from orbit. In the center of the image is the Constitution class USS Enterprise NCC-1764. The ship is rather grey with some white, orange, red, and green lights.
A dark space scene. In the upper left is the Crossfield class ISS Glenn, the Ranger class ISS Artemis, and Saladin class ISS Anatolia. They all are firing blue phaser beams and a few red photon torpedoes at the Romulan bird of prey in the lower right foreground. One of the torpedoes hit the Romulan ship. In the background above the Romulan ship a Klingon battlecruiser opens fire with green disruptor beams and a salvo of photon torpedoes aimed at the Glenn.
An image of concept art by Lee Fitzgerald for the fourth season finale of "Star Trek: Discovery" showing the Pax class USS Federation (Federation Headquarters) as well as a Merian class and the Crossfield refit class USS Discovery over Earth. The light of Earth's sun flares on the right side of the picture.
A pace scene over Earth. The planet is large in the lower left corner. The view is situated over eastern Asia. On the left above Earth is the sun. On the right is the moon, a Kelvin type starship, a Miranda class starship, and a shuttle. Silhouetted over Earth is a cargo carrier ship made with some Constitution class parts. And another shuttle coming out of the shuttlebay.
A dark space scene. on the left side is a close-up view of the Class F Shuttlecraft Galileo from the USS Enterprise. On the right in the distance is the Constitution class USS Hood.
A scene from "Star Trek: Discovery" showing Cleveland Booker's ship in space. The left side of this thin wedge of his ship has a window where the ship's bridge and living quarters are at. The right side of the ship is angled like a blade and is where cargo storage is kept.
A screenshot from the trailer for "Star Trek: Starfleet Academy". It shows the USS Athena down in position over the Academy grounds in San Francisco, Earth. The Golden Gate bridge still exists and there are a great number of new skyscrapers that do not exist in the year 2026. There are even some floating structures floating over the city. There seems to have also been an airshow because a colorful Starfleet Delta was emitted over the bay. The Athena herself consists of a central saucer section with a raised dome protruding from the top of the vessel. The impulse engines are just behind the dome. A rectangular section sits at a downward 45° angle below the saucer in this mode. Also two semi-circular wings sit floating midway up this rectangular section.
A space scene featuring an earth-like planet with a slightly lavender hued atmosphere and three moons. There is also a blue nebula in the background glowing in the top right corner. In the foreground are two starships. The one on the right is an old 23'rd Century Romulan Bird of prey scorched and battered with centuries of scars and its nacelles mildly changed with green glowing bussard collectors and a green strip along the inside facing section of the nacelle. On the left is a Ni'Var starship I designed with a long central spine of the ship and a head on the front with a beak like projection and a hump on the aft. The middle of the ship is surrounded by an oval shaped warp ring nacelle. The design is a 32nd century blending of the Vulcan D'Kyr starship and the Romulan D'Deridex all with a tan metallic hull and yellow glowing accents in the ring.
A space scene. In the lower middle of the picture is the USS Discovery A, a refit Crossfield class starship. In the upper middle is a Starfleet Friendship class opening fire on Discovery with blue phaser beams and four red photon torpedoes.
Space scene in the Sol system. Seen here is Saturn in the top left and Titan on the right side. In front of Titan is a Federation deep space repair station consisting of various floating rings of metal along a thin spine atop a square base and four docking arms. On the left is the Federation Starship Discovery and a Ni'Var starship behind Discovery. Four little shuttle are seen darting between the station and the Discovery.
A black void of space with a few stars shining. In it are two ships. In the foreground is the Starfleet ship (Pioneer class). It is rather banged up, singed and tilted at an angle so you know things are bad when the ship looks like a sinking ship. Behind them is a Klingon D7 battlecruiser. It has fired off two green disruptor beams and a photon torpedo.
A dark space scene with a few stars sprinkled against the inky blackness. In the foreground sit three Romulan Birds of Prey in formation. They are facing away from the camera. They each have fired off a red glowing ball of plasma in torpedo form. In the distant background is a grey asteroid, a Federation K-type station, and two Starfleet ships.
A dark space scene. a sandy dusty desert planet can be seen on the left side of the picture partially illuminated by its star. the planet has two dark blue moons off to the right of the planet. Below the planet are three Romulan Birds of Prey. Above the moons are three different Starfleet ships. From left to right are a cargo hauling ship (The Redwood), a classic Constitution class (The Lexington), and a Crossfield class (and the ship of which the class was named). In the bottom right are two Klingon D7 battlecruisers.
The background is a screenshot of Google Earth showing the northern hemisphere over North America. In the foreground is my TOS styled Nebula class starship: the USS Del Sol NCC-420. The ship is a kitbash of my Constitution class model. The saucer has the neck of the ship extending upwards to a circular sensor pod disc. Then from a boxy rectangular engineering section out of the back of the saucer is the shuttle bay in the back and hanging off pylons below that are the warp nacelles. Image made by me! :)
The background is a field of stars with a blue ringed gas giant and an icy moon in the upper right corner. In the foreground are two Starfleet ships. On the right is a Constitution class starship, and on the left is a Utah class starship. The Utah class is a kitbash of Constitution class parts with the elongated secondary hull above the saucer and the nacelles at a wider stance. Image made by me! :)
The background is a screenshot of Google Earth centered over the Indian ocean. Faint stars can be seen in the background. In the foreground is a 23'rd century (TOS style) constitution class starship. the hull registry is listed as NCC-1703. Image made by me! :)
A stary background with an earthlike planet and a single moon on the right. In the lower left foreground is a futuristic California class starship. Image made by me! :)
In the background is a deep space image of the NGC-602 star cluster taken by the James Webb Space Telescope. in the foreground are two starships. On the left is the tan colored Ni'Var ship with a ring nacelle. On the right is the Federation Starfleet ship with a 32nd century style Constitution class saucer section and an Excelsior class-like secondary hull but simplified in the 32nd century aesthetic. Image made by me! :)
It's a space scene. On the left from top to bottom is a Ni'Var ship (Tan and Gold color scheme), a Kelpien ship (Black and light blue color scheme), and a Cardassian ship (Brown and Gold color scheme). On the bottom of the picture is The Starfleet ship mentioned in the post, the USS Anaya. On the Right is the large ringed repair station with two Starfleet ships docked at it, above it is a Klingon Bird of Prey (black and red color scheme). Image made by me! :)
A view of the planet Ni'Var (formerly Vulcan) seen in space. The atmosphere is rather blue at this time of day over the planet. An orbital satellite is in the right forgeound over Ni'Var. The stars of the Ni'Var system shine from the left of the image.
Starfleet headquarters as pictured on Earth in San Francisco in North America. A garden with pathways is in the foreground with two people in Starfleet uniforms walking. In the midground are a few buildings to the left and right. In the background is the Golden Gate bridge and a low mountain. All under a blue and cloudy sky.
A Crossfield class Federation starship passing through a brown colored interstellar gas cloud. The ship has a tan tinted hull and is illuminated with blue dots of lights from windows and blue strips of lights coming from the bridge, some sensor strips near the deflector, and the warp nacelles.
A Nimitz-class Federation starship with four warp nacelles sits in orbit of a blue Earth-like planet. The nacelles sit both above and below the saucer of the ship. The bussard collectors are tinted with a blue glow. The front of the saucer has an NX-class style deflector dish. Sitting on a raised platform above the saucer in the center aft of the ship between the warp pylons is a neck section leading up to a pod where the bridge of the ship sits.
The constitution class USS Enterprise NCC-1701 (no bloody A, B, C, OR D) over a very Earth-like looking planet in space.
A view of a city on the surface of Romulus, home planet of the Romulan people.
A Sagan class starship in the inky void of space. A shuttlecraft sits in front of the ship heading away from the mother ship. There are some light from a nearby star illuminating the left side of the image.
A starboard perspective of a Galaxy class starship over the arid planet of Vulcan.
An Orion interceptor starship seen in "Star Trek: Lower Decks". This version is spiker than the usual interceptor. The ship is triangular with two wing struts in the back. It also features green glowing strips on the starship. The background is a Star and asteroid field in space.
A picture of Deep Space Nine up close on the habitat ring of the station. In the background is a brilliant blue wormhole with a bright white glowing center.
A picture of Starbase 1 from "Star Trek: Discovery" in space. The space station features a disk section down near the bottom with docking ports sticking out from it like spokes on a naval ship wheel. From the disk a huge spire stands upright from that section with structural supports bracing the spire every other port.
A Mars class starship in the black void of space. The primary hull is relatively diamond shaped and the nacelles are in two detached underslung sections of hull that are at an obtuse angle. Two blue streaks of light are coming from the back of the nacelles. The saucer is lined with some windows.
