Description

Modified by me from the Sherman class cargo drone CG model created by Dave Metlesits. Based on the original Sherman class design by Filmation Studios for Star Trek: The Animated Series (TAS) as further modified by fan Neale Davison. Preview picture posed in XNALara XPS. NO MODEL DOWNLOAD.

As the picture shows, based on the original schematic released years ago by "Mr. Star Trek Starship Toolkits" himself. This is nothing more than a TAS Sherman or older Symma type cargo drone with its cargo holds removed and replaced with a Ptolemy style tractor tow pad for handling Class I Starfleet standard transport containers. I can see this possibly happening, especially since I'm familiar with the Sherman history and design evolution retro-fabbed by the Gunther/Sofia school of classic Trek fandom. It's also an easy mod to do with any of the three Sherman class CG models I know are out there (by Atrahasis, Richard Merk, and Dave Metlesits respectively).

This is strictly a fanon Trek design and remains so unless the Franchise deems otherwise, so how you use it (or even if) is strictly up to you.

Live long and prosper!

ASIDE - FYI there is a Sherman analog in the TMP era. You'll find it listed in Jackill's Volume 3 as the Pershing class.
