IXS Enterprise

Many months have passed since I last posted an update. While my intention was to share anything the project I was working on was too important/too demanding to write an article during the "construction". The IXS Enterprise, a very early concept of the first real warpship. When I got invited by Dr. Harold "Sonny" White and Mike Okuda, I was absolutely stunned. Did that just really happen?

It's FTL drive is based on the space folding principle and the sublight/thruster system works on omni directional hyper ion distribution.
