Uss Enterprise - Blog Posts
During my extended stay from home, I found this model. I just finished it the other day.
The USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A from Star Trek Beyond. Launched from Starbase Yorktown in 2263. Model by Alexander Klemm, render by PixelMagic.

some Star Trek doodles I did during a family reunion yesterday🫡 Here's a very rough sketch of the Enterprise too lol:
LOOK AT THIS BEAUTIFUL CONCEPT ART FOR THE USS ERIDANI STARSHIP OMGGG
I made concept art the bridge of the USS Eridani for @startrek-eridani which is a concept for a Star Trek Series. Thank you for letting me design this! I hope you like it!
Plus close ups:
Captain Saavik of the USS Eridani
Read her bio here:
Saavik, Captain of the U.S.S Eridani
Saavik was born approximately in the year 2265, on the Romulan colony of Hellguard, a mining planet of arid temperature also hosting the site of technological development of a bioweapon. The leaders of the colony intercepted four ships from the Vulcan Science Academy, and their crew were brought to Hellguard to serve as test subjects for the weapon, as well as provide a new generation of subjects through their rape. Being half-Vulcan, half-Romulan and hailing from such a violent planet where murder and famine ran rampant would most likely have meant a death sentence for Saavik and the other hybrid children of the colony, until Spock and the Vulcan high council learned of it and deployed a rescue mission.
At about 9 or 10 years of age when she was rescued, Saavik already had a keen and curious mind, and after saving Spock’s life one night in Hellguard’s desert and briefly bonding with him on the subject of stars, with Saavik claiming their ownership, she refused to trust any other Vulcan adults that were a part of the rescue mission. Spock convinced her to rejoin the Vulcan vessel by promising to take her to her stars, and secretly trading her knife with his tricorder, promising to keep the weapon that kept the child alive safe on his person while allowing her to embark.
After this rescue, Spock took it upon himself to raise Saavik, as she refused to take the DNA tests that would have allowed the Vulcan Council to trace back her remaining family, as she knew that it would mean to be taken from Spock’s care. While spending a year with Spock on the planet Dantria IV, Saavik’s interest for stars and space travel only increased, with Spock often using mission logs and stories of the Enterprise’s crew to impart life lessons to Saavik. In that time, she learned proper language, Vulcan philosophy and the rudiments of logic, before continuing her education on Vulcan while living with Ambassador Sarek and the lady Amanda once Spock returned to the Enterprise. Already, she wished to enroll in Starfleet when she would be old enough.
In 2281, Saavik entered Starfleet Academy as a first year cadet, aged approximately 16 years old. Her hybrid heritage was kept relatively secret, with only a few select admirals being aware of it, but considering her grades and recommendation letter from Spock, it wasn’t a problem for her admission. During that first year, she notably joined the cadet baseball team as pitcher, as well as participating on a highly classified mission that brought her and Spock back to Hellguard one last time. After these events, she pursued her studies in the command track, meeting Joanna McCoy in 2282 while she joined Starfleet Medical to get her xenomedicine and space travel formations.
In 2285, at around age 20, she was in her last year as a cadet, and after taking the Kobayashi Maru test, and succeeding in the test of character, she took part in the training cruise led by Captain Spock, and later Admiral Kirk as a Lieutenant junior grade. When Khan Noonien-Singh began his revenge and search for the Genesis device, she participated closely in the event of the battle, also taking part in the landing party to Regula 1. After it’s detonation and Captain Spock’s death and subsequent funeral, Saavik was transferred to the Grissom as a lieutenant, albeit now no longer junior-grade, implying a field promotion for her implication in the event of the Battle of the Mutara nebula and preceding it. As Grissom inspected the Genesis planet, she worked mainly as a science officer, and beamed down to the planet with David Marcus when life signals that could be associated with Captain Spock were detected on the surface. The pair discovered the young, regenerated body of Spock, yet it lacked its mind and spirit, as it was with Dr. Leonard McCoy. Saavik had to meld with the young Spock when he began experiencing severe pains she wrongly associated with Pon Farr at first, but were in fact the results of his telepathic centers lacking the stability of familial and amical bonds, these bonds having been broken by his death and remaining with his mind and spirit out of his body. The telepathic centers send painful telepathic nerve input through his body, aggravating his already painful aging along the surges of the Genesis planet. Klingons in search of the Genesis later ambushed them and after David’s heroic sacrifice to save Saavik from Kruge’s order to kill one of the prisoners, she melded with him, accidentally creating a sibling bond between them while also saving his life. After the fal-tor-pan, Saavik remained on Vulcan for a year, mainly to watch over David as he recovered and keep him company, as his state was too fragile to travel back to Earth for a long time.
Following that year of sabbatical off-fleet, Saavik returned to San Francisco, where she had to argue with Starfleet Academy admissions for them to allow David Marcus to enter the school for command, field science and space training and then the fleet. The Admiralty eventually allowed it, but it was made clear that anything that could go wrong with David within the fleet could be of consequences to Saavik’s career.
Saavik was then assigned once more as a lieutenant, this time on the U.S.S Agincourt, and served as helmsman, tactical officer and sometime navigator, as needed be. Her captain appreciated her efficiency, and in 2287, when now once more Captain Kirk requested for her transfer at the helm of the Enterprise-A after Hikaru Sulu’s departure to command the Excelsior, she wished her good luck and many successes. She then also earned the rank of lieutenant-commander along with a full helmsman task.
Saavik remained aboard the Enterprise-A until 2289, when the post of First Officer of the Eridani opened and fleet command decided to promote her once more, this time to commander. She served on the Eridani for six years under captain Bowman, until he decided that it was time to retire once the ship returned to Space dock for maintenance and updates.
As Eridani was planned to go back for a five-years mission in deep space, Saavik was seen as the best candidate to take on command of the ship, being one of the officers serving on it for the longest time and having shown a neat track record. Saavik was made captain in 2296, at approximately 31 years old, making her in her time, the youngest Starfleet captain, beating her former mentor James T. Kirk by 2 years.
Saavik’s captaining style was influenced by her use of logic and reason, but considering how important her survival instinct has been in her youth, she didn’t shy away from following her instincts. Her knowledge of ships, strategies, weaponry and scientific instruments from the Federation and out of it was extensive, as well as her knowledge of norms and regulations. Her service under James T. Kirk, namely during the training cruise, taught her about the importance of knowing when to bend the rule. Despite these capacities and Starfleet command’s trust in her, she often wondered if she is good enough to be a captain, and hoped that she would be making her mentors proud.
Saavik doesn’t express her emotions a lot, but Spock having met V'ger before rescuing her and her many years serving among humans taught her how important emotions, feelings and connections to others are. She valued her close friends, namely David Marcus and Joanna McCoy, but also tried her best to be available to subordinates and bond with her department heads and crew, as much as the chain of command allowed. Despite all of that, she struggles with opening up to others about her fears or deeper insecurities, being a part of why she had a hard time falling into a rhythm with her First Officer at first, even if she was supposed to rely on him.
This is how I imagine their texts go
Hey sooo What If I made a spirk fanfic (and included artwork) where I blended aos into tos in which the tragic death of Chekov leads to a new helmsman being transferred to the ship: one Gary Mitchell, former…friend of Captain Kirk’s. Events lead into tos “where no man has gone before” and later, some “conscience of the king” references (tarsus iv). Kirk is desperately trying to keep his past hidden and maintain his image in front of his crew, but these events are bringing everything he’s been pushing down closer and closer to the surface. Meanwhile, Spock is suspicious of this new crew member and…perturbed as he realizes he may not know Kirk as well as he thought he did after everything (Narada incident, Into Darkness, Beyond) they’d been through over the years.
Thoughts???
I'm going to get some push back on this, but this episode was very blah. Nobody had any chance to shine, and it felt very rushed. I also thought this was an Ortegas centered episode. She was barely in it, only towards the end. Also, I wish they would stop bringing Batel into episodes, I don't know if it's the writing or the actress, but this character gets on my last nerve when she is on screen. She's so boring and adds nothing. The overall message was ok, but I am not too happy with this one.
Neera is the baddest, the best part of this whole episode. I am so happy everyone came together to defend Una. Pike is a G for going to Illyria, and its inhospitable atmosphere, to help her :D I also love how this episode shows that laws NEED to change to accommodate the time and situations. Something that happened 200 years ago cannot have such a chokehold on our views in the present. UNA WHY WOULD YOU TURN YOURSELF IN, I mean I get it, BUT DAMN!
Jim Kirk Tarsus IV Fic Recs
This list will include all ratings and tags, so read at your own discretion! :)
Starfleet Academy for Gifted Youngsters by Ael - Not Rated
Starfleet Academy, home to carriers and mutants alike. Three years before Nero's attack on Vulcan, Jim Kirk and Leonard McCoy begin to forge what will one day be a legendary friendship. A series of snapshots of how it all began.
More than Innocence by CasualBanshee - Rated T
Throwaway one-shot. Jim Kirk survived Tarsus with more than just mental scars and how that could change the events in the second reboot film.
sound as stone by starknjarvis - Rated T
The three people who figured out that Jim was on Tarsus IV.
A Star To Light The Way (In which Jim never thought he’d live past 22, anyway) by AlyssiaInWonderland - Not Rated
A fic based around the following prompt excerpt on Tumblr: “So, captain,” she began, eyeing him mischievously. “Where would you be if you hadn’t joined up?” Jim shrugged nonchalantly, pursing his lips for a moment in thought. “Dead probably,” he finally replied, lightly but absolutely serious– oblivious to the shocked expressions of his crew around him. “Or halfway to it in a bar in Iowa somewhere.” Or, Nyota's journey from first meeting Kirk, to loving Jim, through three, increasingly angsty, incidents spanning Academy Era to post 2009 film.
Predetermined by BonesOfBirdWings - Rated T
James T. Kirk always goes to Tarsus IV - because George Kirk can die, Vulcan can be destroyed, and Jim can be resurrected, but Tarsus IV is immutable. OR - An exploration of the fanon fact that Jim always experiences the massacre on Tarsus IV, no matter the universe.
i think i'll keep you (like a secret) by hoosierbitch - Rated T
Bones came to Starfleet with a hell of a lot of baggage. Jim came empty handed.
Over Exposure by SadieYuki - Rated T
Jim would much rather deal with an army of assassins wielding pine nuts over having to weather the storm caused by this single video.
Five times Jim talked about Tarsus and one time Nyota heard him by jenny_wren - Rated M
Jim is not exactly over Tarsus but he's over it enough to be casual about it, so times when Jim nonchalantly horrified someone by being casual about Tarsus
Theory and Practice by Writer_at_the_Table - Rated T
He's sitting stiffly, back straight and face utterly blank. There is no laughter twinkling in his eyes. She feels wary at the sight of him, this cadet who only superficially resembles the one she thought she knew. Starfleet Academy professor Anita Cornerstone calls Cadet Jim Kirk to her office to discuss his response on an essay assignment. The conversation they have is not the one she was expecting.
The prison of your mind by EternalSheWolf - Rated T
The kid takes him to the ground, hard and fast, and the knife punches right through his throat. The man gurgles and blood sprays, and the kid’s head snaps up, blond hair flying everywhere, as he gives the blade a final, savage, twist and pulls it free. He’d know those eyes anywhere. It’s Jim Kirk.
Recognition by jademac2442 - Rated T
Based on the TOS episode Conscience of the King. Post Tarsus IV. Riley is assigned aboard the Enterprise. He recognizes Kirk.
Once More unto the Breach by AnEscapeFromReality - Rated T
James Kirk was the rudest student Professor Heleine ever taught. He stomped out of the middle of the professor's lecture like he wasn't a mere cadet. Well, the professor was done putting up with him. If he couldn't sit through an expert lecture, then he should give the lecture about Tarsus. That would teach him some respect.
Linguistic Ambiguities in Vulcan Ethical Codes by elumish - Rated T
The thing people always forget is that it was a Vulcan ship that reached Tarsus IV first.
A trail of crushed laurels by Kandelaar - Rated T
Jimmy Kirk isn’t an old soul stuck in a young body, his teachers whisper, he’s sharp, jagged edges and a too-bright mind wrapped in skin and bones all glued together with his stepdaddy’s fists.
she is my wife
I made the USS Enterprise using graphics.py! Very simple but I like how it turned out :D ✨
While fooling around on YouTube I discovered these amazing videos. He tells you what the USS Enterprise from TOS looks like with a 3D model (which I understand he made). Any true Star Trek fan has to see it.
It tells you how each deck is organised with all the rooms
I can't even imagine the amount of work that went into making this, he had to research and make the model. Just great
And not only does he have these videos, he has also made other videos explaining other Star Trek ships.
Go and see them
Después de un tiempo, subo un vídeo del mundo de Minecraft:
After some time, I upload a video of the Minecraft world:
Al fin he acabado la sala del transportador, me quedaban unos pocos detalles. A medida que voy construyendo descubro cómo usar el mod, y entonces tardo menos. También he empezado con la sala de motores y el puente, y ya he acabado toda la estructura (es decir, ya tengo un lugar donde hacer todas las salas)
I've finally finished the transporter room, I had a few details left. As I'm building I'm figuring out how to use the mod, and then it takes me less time. I've also started the engine room and the bridge, and I've finished the whole structure (that is to say, I have a place to build all the rooms).

He mejorado algo del mundo de Minecraft en el poco tiempo libre que he tenido estos días. He hecho el techo del pasillo (junto con algo de decoración) y he investigado sobre bloques de comandos.
I've improved some of the Minecraft world in the little free time I've had these days. I've made the ceiling of the corridor (along with some decoration) and I've done some research on command blocks.
Esto es solo la punta del iceberg. Esta es la primera planta de 6. En cada planta estoy haciendo unas salas del Enterprise de TOS. En esta primera planta es solo la sala del transportador.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. This is the first floor (of 6). On each floor I'm doing some of the Enterprise rooms from TOS. This first floor is just the transporter room.
He tenido que hacer un mapa de las plantas para tener claro dónde está cada sala. Más tarde subiré esos mapas (y por fin las siguientes páginas del cómic)
I had to make a map of the floors to know where each room is. Later I will upload those maps (and finally the next pages of the comic)
Tengo algunas capturas de pantalla sobre cosas que he hecho en el mundo de Minecraft dedicado a Star Trek: TOS. He hecho una estructura pequeña del Enterprise en el cielo (donde supuestamente están las salas que estoy construyendo. Digo supuestamente porque no están ahí). Esa estructura está muy mal hecha (las proporciones no están bien), pero desde abajo se ve una sombra que me gusta mucho (como al jugar no voy a subir hasta ahí arriba, no me he esmerado mucho, ya que yo solo quería que se viera la forma de lejos. Aún así, creo que lo cambiaré un poco para que no se vea ese bulto que tiene xd). En el minimapa también me gusta cómo queda (el minimapa es del mod "Journey map")
I have some screenshots of things I've done in the Minecraft world dedicated to Star Trek: TOS. I've made a small Enterprise structure in the sky (where supposedly the rooms I'm building are. I say supposedly because they are not there). That structure is very badly built (the proportions are not right), but from below you can see a shadow that I like a lot (as I'm not going to go up there, I didn't struggle a lot, since I only wanted the shape to be seen from far away. Even so, I think I'll change it a bit so you can't see that bulge xd). In the minimap I also like how it looks (the minimap is from the "Journey map" mod, it can be seen on top right)
Luego estuve creando unos objetos con el "Chisels and bits". El tricorde, el fáser y el comunicador. Y con el mod de "Ordinary coins" añadí unas monedas para hacer una economía (bronce, plata, oro y platino). Personalicé las monedas para que tuvieran el logo de la Federación e hice una versión para el Imperio Terrano.
Then, I created some objects with the "Chisels and bits". The tricorder, the phaser and the communicator. And with the "Ordinary coins" mod I added some coins to make an economy (bronze, silver, gold and platinum). I customized the coins to have the Federation logo and made a version for the Terran Empire.

He estado construyendo en el Minecraft algunas salas del Enterprise. La primera es la sala del transportador. También he hecho algo de pasillo.
I've been building some of the Enterprise rooms in Minecraft. The first one is the transporter room. I've also made some of the corridor.
En este mundo de Minecraft tengo varios mods, entre ellos el Chisels and bits. Es un mod que permite modificar los bloques del Minecraft bit a bit. Los bloques son cubos de 16x16x16 bits cada uno. También permite usar bits individuales para crear bloques nuevos (los cubos esos pequeños que tengo en el inventario son bits, y los he usado para hacer esto).
In this Minecraft world I have several mods, among them the Chisels and bits. It is a mod that allows you to modify the Minecraft blocks bit by bit. The blocks are cubes of 16x16x16 bits each. It also allows you to use individual bits to create new blocks (the little cubes I have in my inventory are bits, and I've used them to do this).
Todo lo que no es bloque, lo he hecho yo, por ejemplo las líneas grises del pasillo, el arco del pasillo, las luces del transportador, las plataformas del transportador, las líneas negras con trozos blancos del transportador, el panel de control, e incluso la pared de la sala.
I have made everything that is not a block by myself, for example the grey lines in the corridor, the archway in the corridor, the lights in the transporter, the platforms in the transporter, the black lines with white pieces in the transporter, the control panel, and even the wall of the room.
La siguiente sala que haga seguramente sea la sala de motores.
The next room I will probably do is the engine room.

SPONES FIC IN SUMMER HOLIDAYS
El mar Mediterráneo, el calor típico de la zona, la exquisita comida, los lugares llenos de historia medieval, las zonas al aire libre lejos de cualquier otra persona, una casa acogedora a orillas de la playa, deportes de todo tipo, paseos por lugares de ensueño, lugareños carismáticos, una guía contratada por Jim...
The Mediterranean Sea, the typical warmth of the area, the exquisite food, the places full of medieval history, the outdoor areas far away from anyone else, a cosy house by the beach, sports of all kinds, walks in dreamlike places, charismatic locals, a guide hired by Jim...
La tripulación del Enterprise está de vacaciones el mes de agosto. Jim, Spock y McCoy quieren descansar y no tener que preocuparse por nada durante todo un mes, bañarse en el mar, tumbarse en la arena, recorrerse el pueblo y zonas de interés de los alrededores... Como cualquier otro veraneante. Sin embargo, cada día les pasará algo inusual, algunas cosas más raras que otras, unas provocadas por ellos, otras por pura suerte.
The crew of the Enterprise is on holiday in August. Jim, Spock and McCoy want to rest and not have to worry about anything for a whole month, bathe in the sea, lie on the sand, walk around the town and surrounding areas of interest... Just like any other holidaymaker. However, every day something unusual will happen to them, some things stranger than others, some caused by them, others by pure luck.
Mientras tanto, Spock y McCoy tienen algunos momentos en los que se plantean su amistad y unos posibles sentimientos más hondos. Tienen ocasiones a solas en las que intimar y desarrollar esos sentimientos, otras en las que Jim les parecerá la mejor compañía para romper ese incómodo silencio. Pero en las dos coincide algo, están juntos y eso es algo que les gusta. ¿Aquel lugar les ayudará a confesar al otro lo que de verdad sienten?
Meanwhile, Spock and McCoy have some moments where they consider their friendship and possible deeper feelings. They have times alone when they can intimate and develop those feelings, times when Jim will seem like the best company to break that awkward silence. But in both of those situations, they are together and that is something they like. Will that place help them to confess to each other what they really feel?
Spock, McCoy y Kirk se van de vacaciones a un pueblo mediterráneo de la Tierra durante todo el mes de agosto. Cada capítulo es un día de agosto, y el primero es de cómo llegan hasta el pueblo donde van a pasar las vacaciones, después de dejar el Enterprise. Les pasa algo durante el viaje, sobre todo al final. No tengo pensado que este primer capítulo sea muy largo, porque sería algo así como la presentación.
Spock, McCoy and Kirk go on holiday to a Mediterranean village on Earth for the whole month of August. Each episode is a day in August, and the first episode is about how they get to their holiday village after leaving the Enterprise. Something happens to them during the journey, especially at the end. I don't plan to make this first chapter very long, because it would be something like an introduction.
Los capítulos pertenecen a una serie escrita que he llamado "Un verano muy caliente". El primer capítulo se llama "Que el Enterprise se tome un descanso". Lo publicaré en AO3.
The chapters belong to a written series I've called "A very hot summer". The first chapter is called "The Enterprise takes a break". I'll publish it in AO3.
Obviamente no voy a poder acabar todo lo que tengo pensado antes de que acabe agosto. Con suerte acabaré el primer capítulo (tengo demasiadas cosas pensadas que hacer). Es un fic dedicado a las vacaciones de verano, pero es muy largo (o eso tengo pensado). Son 31 capítulos, uno por cada día de agosto. He planeado ya todos los capítulos por encima. Algunos serán más interesantes que otros, algunos tendrán más interacciones de Spones que otros, pero espero que eso no afecte a que a la gente le guste.
Obviously I'm not going to be able to finish everything I have planned before the end of August. Hopefully I'll finish the first chapter (I have too many things planned to do). It's a fic dedicated to the summer holidays, but it's very long (or so I think). There are 31 chapters, one for each day of August. I've already planned all the chapters a little. Some will be more interesting than others, some will have more Spones interactions than others, but I hope that won't affect people liking it.
