Matt Jefferies, he of Jefferies tube fame, originally designed the XCV-330 with its distinctive ring-shaped engines for Gene Roddenberry’s planned follow-up to Star Trek: The Original Series. Sadly, that show was never greenlit, but we still have this amazing retro ship design to enjoy. In the History of Starflight collection, the XCV-330 (also named “Enterprise”) fills the role of Earth’s first sub-light, interplanetary and interstellar space vehicle.
