Phase II FSS Enterprise

By April Welles

This is the Stage-11 refit of Captain Janice Lester's command of the Federated Empire of Matriarchs starship FSS Enterprise.

Some of you may recall seeing one of my earlier builds of the PL TOS ' FSS Enterprise' of hers as well. This is their version of the "Phase-II" we are familiar with in "our universe". This ship has TMP style windows many of which are in the Original Series locations (TMP-style windows meaning oval instead of rectangle). A few other differences are the location of the torpedo launchers. They are still located on the lower saucer as the Original Series ones were. In place on the dorsal connector are the ship's new weaponry, Phaser Cannons. This ship also uses a new upgraded nacelle, the Stage-11. (These were made by Cheetah Productions and sold through Starship Modeler Store). These nacelles were created to be an alternate nacelle a builder could use. Not specifically the Stage-II ones but my interpretation of them. I also prefer the glowing orange bussards over the two black stripes we see on the Refit.

Hull paneling was accomplished by using the R2 Refit 'E' supplied ones. The warp grills, inboard and outboard, are supplied by Cheetah Productions. The ship's identifying markings are supplied by a custom sheet produced by JT Graphics, as well as some left overs in my decal bin.

The FEM symbol is my own design and printed by JT Graphics. The deflector dish, officers lounge, and botanical garden are all from JT Graphics. Impulse Exhaust is from a sheet of Modular Models decals.

This build is something I have had in my mind for many years. It wasn't until I made the nacelles that I was able to bring my vision to fruition. She is one of my favorite builds now.
