Description

Ported to OBJ from the low poly gaming model created by Darkdrone for the Starfleet Command (SFC) series of video games. Based on the original fanon design by Atolm, aka AtolmAzel as he's known here on dA these days. Preview picture posed in XNALara XPS. NO MODEL DOWNLOAD from here although it was still out there in the Internet ether last time I checked. Good luck hunting.

The name of CG artist Atolm, or Azel as he is also known and as AtolmAzel here at dA, is one that crops up often on the old SFC gaming boards and forums, as well as in other venues. In addition to being a talented traditional artist, he has a very unique design style and produced some of the most visually stunning starship concepts for the old SFC series back in the day. FWIW he kindly did the pre-TOS Kzinti cruiser sketch for me that you see in my old Federation Spaceflight Chronology (FSC) back when I was writing it, but I digress.

I don't have anything on this other than it's supposed to be a "fun ship" to play in the game. It's very original as you can see in the above preview piccy, just like most of Atolm's many starship designs over the years. BTW Darkdrone made several different textures for Atolm's pre-TOS Romulan designs that will work with all of them, and I'm showing this model in the preview piccy above painted with two of them: classic Romulan grey based and TNG-influenced green based, with the latter green based scheme matching fairly well with Masao's own independent pre-TOS Romulan starship designs. You will also note the presence of a very Vulcan-like "ring" for propulsion on many of these. This can be hand-waved away as the Vulcan ancestors of the Romulans either bringing that technology with them when they left Vulcan or developing their own version of it independently after leaving Vulcan for their new home far across the stars. Make of that whatever you want.

This is fanon, sadly, although it comes from one of the minds of the great Trek fanon conceptual artists. Perhaps you can find a place for it in your pre-TOS era projects in your thread(s) of the Trek multiverse. How 'bout it?

NOTE - Feuerhausieren is German for "Fire Peddler" or "Fire Trader," or perhaps even "Fire Dealer" in an alternate take. Hausier is the German word for "peddler," so literally it would translate as a peddler who carries fire. Possibly an armed transport of some kind, given the fact that there's no propulsion ring like its contemporaries and with the cargo attached at various points on its inner hull surfaces? Hmmm ....
