Star Trek Ship Schematics

From LoveToKnow Sci-Fi

Star Trek ship schematics are popular with fans of the multiple series and films. Schematics are not limited to just Federation star ships such as the Enterprise, but also to the ships of the other races.

Star Trek Ship Schematics

Ships in the Star Trek universe include:

United Federation of Planets and Starfleet

The United Federation of Planets is the political, diplomatic and scientific body that supports Starfleet. Starfleet is the organization that combines military and science in the exploration of the galaxy and the defense of the borders of UFP space and beyond. Many ships fall under the umbrella of the UFP and Starfleet designation, most notably the Enterprise in all her classifications.

  • Carriers
  • Corvettes
  • Cruisers
  • Destroyers
  • Frigates
  • Scouts
  • Hospital Ships
  • Docks/Stations
  • Battleships
  • Dreadnaughts
  • Survey Ships
  • Galaxy Explorers
  • Transports

Klingon, Romulan and Other Races

The Klingon Empire is primarily a society based on war. Their ships are dark, hard and able, like the people. The ships are not known for their creature comforts, but unlike other races, they carry live food with them for slaughter and preparation. The Romulans, by contrast, are far more Spartan and utilitarian in their ship design, leaning towards long lines and cool metals. The Borg are cyborg and hive like, so their ships are merely an extension of their hive minds with numerous computer terminals and outlets with no need for ‘living quarters’.


  • Birds of Prey (Klingon)
  • Battle Cruisers (Romulan)
  • Cube (Borg)

Beyond the Federation, Klingons and Romulans are multiple other races, each with a distinct flavor and style to their vessels. Functionality is as vital to a ship’s design as the race of people who created it. Star Trek ship schematics allow fans to explore the inner workings of these ships and understand their layout and more.

  • The Ferengi Alliance
  • The Maquis
  • Bajorans
  • Cardassian Empire
  • The Dominion
  • The Kazon Collective
  • The Gorn
  • Tholians
  • Vulcans
