The ship, which was designed to carry red matter into the heart of the Romulan sun, has an unusual design for Star Trek and looks unlike anything before.

The accompanying magazine takes a look at rare production artwork, goes into detail about how the ship was designed, starting with legendary comic book artist Bryan Hitch’s first sketch through Ryan Church’s redesigns until ILM built the final model.
