Norway class starship

From TheBestLinks.com

In the Star Trek fictional universe, the Norway class is a (rarely seen) group of starships of similar make used by the United Federation of Planets' primary defense force and exploration arm, Starfleet. The Norway class is a unique starship design with an angular trowel-shaped saucer section The main bridge and lifeboats are embedded into the saucer to provide for better protection from enemy fire by blocking against attacks from the side. At the bow of the saucer is the main navigational deflector and a forward phaser cannon. Two cigar-shaped warp nacelles are attached to the saucer by pylons running aft. The Norway class was probably designed in the 2350s, likely in response to the Cardassian threat and produced at Spacedock 1 in orbit over Earth. The Norway class saw use throughout the late 24th century, most notably at the Battle of Sector 001 in 2373.

In real life, the Norway class was designed by Alex Jaeger at Industrial Light and Magic and rendered as a computer-generated visual effect for Star Trek: First Contact. However, the computer files were irrevocably corrupted before they could be used again following the movie. Therefore, very little is known about the ship.
