USS Braeburn,
airlock two.
Early 24th century, the well used
portal to support/tender type vessel USS Braeburn (NCC-12684). The Braeburn's access hatches were
rumored to contain anomalies in the fabric of space disturbing to
the souls of most humanoids...
Created using
Photoshop, after making a simple hull-texture image in Paintbrush. The
font is Palindrome, similar to the Microgramma font used in Starfleet
vessels of the era.

USS
Leary, dedication plaque.
The USS Leary (NCC-420) was
an early 23rd century survey cruiser built at Starbase 12. Named for
20th-century scholar Timothy Leary.
Created
using
Photoshop, in the style of a Star Fleet Technical Manual (Ballantine
TOS, Franz Joseph) page.
Palindrome font for the border, Times New Roman for the plaque.
Maintaining the era's tradition of only listing the vessel's type as
the "class". Starbase 12's location was noted in "Space Seed" (TOS)
and in "Ship of the Line" (Pocket TNG, Diane Carey). The style
of colon-separating the two halves of the integer stardate seems kind
of "old (23rd century) fashioned", its derived from the stardates of
the Gold Key TOS comics.
