Description Commodore's log, February 15, 2157. My new commission came with new responsibilities. Enterprise was assigned as the lead ship of the Earth Third Flottilla. Although I'm unwilling to admit, only Buran, the seventh addition to our Warp 5 fleet packs the needed punch. Although we keep churning out more and more of Deadalus class ships, they won't win the war for us. Especially now, with the Vulcans ceasing all support and the Andorians providing only non-military aid. Commander Reed says the Daedalus class won't disappoint us. I just hope he'll be right in the end...



Commodore Archer's hopes weren't high for the Daedalus class, up until the major battles of the War have taken place. The small, under-powered, but sturdy vessels often held the last lines before Starfleet could dispatch the NX fleet to the rescue. After the War, most remaining Daedalus class starships were refitted, producing a smooth, clean design that was comfortable for the new, mixed-speciel Federation Starfleet. This new, utilitarian design will become the standard for the upcoming centuries...





Yeah, people, I've built Aethernaut's Daedalus redesign. We can't have Enterprise steal all the glory, can we? I hope I can release her, I'll contact Aethernaut for the permission.





Models by me
Background elements by NASA

Minor issue, most cannon/non-cannotonical sources accept that Archer may have left command of Enterprise. Some Expect that Trip took over, tho the final episode's "death" is sometimes considered an "official story" so that he could take the enterprise into early beginnings of section 31. Then again, You're awesome. So Continue!

I don't know what to do with both the official and EU versions surrounding Trip. I might go renegade on the timeline, make him not die or go Section 31, earning captaincy instead.

Make him NOT die, Make him earn Captaincy! PLEASE. That was just BS Writing at it's best.... Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β . . ...always thought since Bakula wasn't enjoying himself that Trip would be a fine captain to take over the ship for the next season. GO WITH IT! No one will doubt you. Just like that #BringInRiker thing XD

I am loving this series. This design is one of the few times I have enjoyed the Daedalus design. These and one Abrams inspired high res shot of the dorsal launchers firing nukes which I believe was in the SoTL calender.

That is the one. I am really loving this pre/early federation artwork as of late. Everytime you release something new i feel like it has to be my new desktop wallpaper.

Beautiful work, love the promotion to Commodore for Archer that is a nice touch.Β 

I really likeΒ Aethernaut's Daedalus design very fitting for the era, you did a great job on her. It also looks like not all NX class vesselsΒ receivedΒ the Enterprise's refit. That is pretty interesting and quite realistic, especially in wartime.Β

Thank you very much!

I think that in wartime, they needed to build as many ships as they could. Take freighters, add some phase cannons. Build classic NX's, they're still better than most contemporary Earth ships. Enterprise recieved the refit before the War broke out, they still had plenty of thime and resources then.

Majestic-MSFC In reply to thefirstfleet [2014-12-13 21:51:24 +0000 UTC]

I total agree very realistic. I would love to see some armed and modified freighters at some point in your renders.

Are you planning on making the Intrepid and Warp Delta at some point?Β

looking really good ....especially the Pre Federation Daedalus Design is pretty nice. It closes the gap to the later Federation Designs of the TOS Era very smothly!
