The Millennium Falcon is in Star Trek

The Millennium Falcon is one of the most iconic ships in science fiction. But turns out that it's actually a canon ship in Star Trek as well! But maybe we can redesign it.

It being called the "Falcata Class" is also inspired (the Falcata was a type of sword, which fits the role as a weapon ship, AND the term derivates from Latin "falcatus", meaning literally "falcon-shaped").

[@LordMelusar]

Someone hit the STO developers up on this, I want this as a Carrier and Frigate system in game now.

[@deathstrike]

It's looks like this Falcatta Class could also be a two vector vessel as it's own independent deep space operation ship. But with a modern, NX-02 neck, additional warp nacelles and engineering/crew sections. Now in this lower cost configuration, the Falcatta can detach from its lower hull and act as a stealth ship while it's lower engineering hull can either be hidden safely, or flown elsewhere fulfilling an additional mission. The Falcatta would magnetically be bound to a sort of landing pad which is attached to the characteristic "neck" found in the larger Starfleet ships.

It's fairly common knowledge that both the Serenity from Firefly and Original Series Enterprise appear in the 2004 Battlestar Galactica mini-series. We see the Serenity when Roslin is receiving her initial cancer diagnosis and the Enterprise appears later in the background of the civilian fleet, probably because of Ronald D. Moore's connection to the Star Trek franchise. Could you do these those two ships, but redesign them to fit the BSG universe? Otherwise I like the design here. Another variant could have been a torpedo boat with the central dish area instead being torpedo storage and the mandibles being where the launchers are housed. Like the original design for the Defiant in the Deep Space Nine Technical Manual that later became the Nova-class science ship. A high-warp, torpedo heavy combatant meant for hit and fade attacks.

[@altasilvapuer]

Seconded, here! I'd love to see a series of this. If/when you run out of 'canon' on-screen material, maybe just transplant something iconic from one universe to another and attempt to "make it stick?"

[@andymac4883]

I believe a Lambda-class Imperial Shuttle also shows up in Firefly, at the spaceport in the first episode when Inara is landing her shuttle.

[@sastrei]

BSG has at least three ships from Firefly (a second one which is similar to Serenity in fact) and one from Star Wars (and Firefly), plus Kodiak from Command and Conquer, and Sulaco from Aliens...so their canon style sorta encompasses all those universes already. Except Star Trek of course. :D

[@punchfukker3383]

I was thinking the other way, of the central section actually being a giant big ass super mega kingu reactor like the orbital defense platforms around Cardassia or Babylon5 Earth, but with a pair of generic warp engines wrapped around it so it can at least zip from one end of a solar system to the other to meet threats head on. I remember somewhere about how generators and reactors in Star Trek actually being more powerful than pretty much most star ships.

[@r.connor9280]

Someone rewatched the Tholian web for this idea

[@kevingriffith6011]

While I do like the design, I think the role is a little convoluted. Still, as it is the ship does also have value in it's ability to extend the firing arc of a much larger capital ship, letting it sit inside the shield of a larger capital ship and direct fire from weapons arrays that would otherwise be unable to fire at the target because of their orientation on the ship (Having good weapons coverage is extremely valuable, but if the enemy is directly in front of you then all those extra weapons aren't really doing anything at the moment.). Personally I think it would be better as essentially someone slapping engine nacelles on a galaxy class deflector array, a utility ship rather than a fighting one.

[@altasilvapuer]

I have to agree on the convoluted nature of the role. I LOVED the design, but found myself shaking my head throughout the whole description. Honestly, at a glance it looks like a slightly lighter Defiant class, and I think it could excel in that role. The Defiant always struck me as intentionally being a brick with guns. Where most Starfleet ships have what I see as weak points in the nacelle and saucer mounts, the Defiant is more compact and defensively oriented. The Falcata could easily be Starfleet experimenting with similar designs. Maybe Falcata : Defiant :: Excelsior : Constitution, for example?

[@kevingriffith6011]

The only problem I have with that idea is that it has that it has that crazy huge dish in the middle, and it being a sort of light or proto-defiant is that it doesn't really make use of that very unusual feature for a federation ship. Buuut this is a star-trek vessel, so I'm sure that it can be technobabbled around.

[@svenzo1199]

@@kevingriffith6011 That dish in the middle could easily be used as a heavy phaser emitter, it would be the same power as the Defiant's phaser cannons, but more versitile.

[@KuraIthys]

Could be. I'm a little frustrated with people that focus on warp nacelles as tactical liabilities though. Even if it's true, it glosses over the many valid and varied reasons to design a ship that way even if it looks like a weakness in combat. (which it probably is). However, the vast majority of ships the federation has are not dedicated combat vessels. In that light given the likely benefits of distancing the nacelles from the main body of the ship, it also justifies why the defiant pulls them in close; Being a dedicated combat oriented design, it's willing to sacrifice performance (and arguably safety, given some of the stated reasons for nacelles being on pylons) to make them a less vulnerable target in a fight. You can see the same design reasoning as federation ships also showing up in Romulan (nacelles at the wingtips) and even klingon designs though (Vor'cha class with smaller pylons than a federation ship placed at the extremities of the ship) So, if even the Klingons accept a weak point in their warships, the upsides must be fairly significant.

I think your lore though, that is Kriffing genius, a lower profile phaser relay is like a corner shot for starships, not only does it have great multi vector use, but it would be great for ambushes, a single large ship or space station could place a bunch of these in a debris feild and cover more than they could with conventional ships.

After the repeater was deemed outmoded by newer, more effective technology, Various hulls and pre-production units were stripped of their phaser-sink dishes and auctioned off to private parties , and the hull design was licensed out for a spec racing series. The now grossly over-engined and extremely lightweight spaceframes were decked out in various team liveries and raced by various teams in a sort of multi-system grand prix. Their large engines and extreme maneuverability made for entertaining racing across several systems, with the headline race being through the Sol system asteroid belt.

For the suggestion box: The Yeager-class kitbash from Deep Space 9 as a "hidden" lighter Starfleet ship. This is the kitbash using sections from (differently-scaled) model kits of the Intrepid-class and Maquis ship from Voyager. It's easy to find photos of the shooting model, but on-screen it was always in the background and never on for long, so all that can be made out is the basic shape and a few very general details. Most recreations scale the ship to the Intrepid parts, but that produces yet another cruiser-sized ship that's bigger than the TOS Enterprise. All the DS9 kitbashes are like that. Where are the smaller ships? Either they don't exist, or they're hidden in plain sight. The Yeager strikes me as a good candidate to be a "hidden" smaller Starfleet ship. Something in the size range of an Oberth or Nova (or maybe a little larger than those, but still clearly smaller than a mainline cruiser). Keep the basic form seen on-screen, but scale it and detail it to where it can fill a neglected niche and be its own ship instead of the mixed-scale "kit crash" that comes from sticking too close to the shooting model.

I think I just found my favorite KZbin channel, I loved the model and the way you created a story. This is definitely the first of many videos that I will watch. The only thing I disagreed with the concept is that the question of designing a small ship is for it to be fast, maneuverable and difficult to hit so I think that the concept of the mother ship having to hit it would be counterproductive because if that is easy the enemy ship too will take advantage of these opportunities, perhaps if the shields channel the energy of the enemy ship to the deflectors and Falcata could use this energy to improve and supercharge the weapons the way you implied, but I loved the video Sorry for the "google translator" english.

[@NickCutroneo]

The shape also lends itself quite well to an auxiliary ship (captain's yacht). I like the Runabout cockpit!

Auxiliary "Falcata" ship (or ships) deployed off the main ship seems more sensible. But I suppose that would basically evolve into a less versatile version of the whole Prometheus idea the "Falcata" is meant to replace.

[@BrainComm487]

Personally, I like to think that Star Wars exists as a franchise within the Trek multiverse, and someone just built their own Falcon. Since she's only seen in Sector 001, she doesn't necessarily have warp- she could be an impulse-only planetary transport- so nacelles aren't required. Just a bank of impulse engines. I also like to think it's an unwritten rite of passage for Starfleet engineers to scratchbuild their own lightsaber out of whatever they can lay their hands on.

Ya, no. Ya didn't sell me on the Falcata. It's just to ridiculous as an upjumped mirror. A better idea. would be to have a huge central capcitor of its own to power a few overpowered phaser arrays for a high alpha strike, then slip away into the shadows. Take the Deffiant's pulse phasers, stick them on an even smaller ship, but with oversized capacitors (relative) and send a few of those in at something. cheap, fast, and glass-cannon/10.

very interesting concept, but i have to compare that ship to a magnifying glass - you can get the magnifying glass to concentrate the suns rays but it cant produce any more energy than the sun would be outputting. furthering this analogy, the falcata class ship could redirect the phasers fired at it but wouldnt be able to give it any more power unless it came from the falcatas power source

In weapons it’s not strictly raw output. It’s that output over time and area. A bullet doesn’t carry much energy generally speaking but it applies it over a tiny area and over a brief amount of time. A basketball can conceivably hit you in the chest with the same force as a 9mm pistol round but we know the results won’t be the same.

[@NeroThacher]

@@DrewLSsix indeed true, thats why a bullet penetrates, because its applying that tremendous amount of energy on a small contact point... i jut went on to say its %100 feable to have the falcata class ship that absorbs and refires the phasers - i was just mentioning that phaser shot would be no more powerful coming out of the the Falcata - with newtons second law the phaser re-shot would actually be SLIGHTLY less energetic

[@RedCaio]

This is cool. You should do a couple ships where you take a Star Trek ship and reimagine it as a Star Wars ship and vice versa

[@hanzo8120]

No wonder the Borg Cube explodes, Han&Chewie gives it a good pounding with the Quad Laser Cannons from the Falcon. Yieeeeehaaaaaa!!! Raaawwwwwrrr!!.... Or the Borg simple couldn´t handle with that "Force" of Weaponfire ;-) Or..the Borg Queen was "Forced" to evacuate the Cube. ;-) Captn Pun, signing off.

[@Lumadous]

A few of these attached to a starbase could potentially extend the reach of a star base's power further than previously thought possible. A few of these at the battles of deep space 9 could've changed the course of the war. Good job on the model and the lore

[@Username3141519]

Do the Crossfield. In my head, the Crossfield represents a proto Galaxy class; a large, modular starship capable of multiple missions but it didn't catch on because technology of the 23rd century wasn't up to the task of having a multimission ship of that size. I have an entire headcanon about it.

[@ATATChat]

This is actually amazing

[@ninjawannabe87]

With some modification, I could see them developing some kind of Shield that absorbs the energy from various weaponry, directing to their weapons, or whatever system that needs power, and dispatching their adversaries with it and compensating for the lack of durability. They can also make an unmanned or remotely operated ship, what you might have mentioned or implied at the very least

[@SchneeflockeMonsoon]

How do we get commissions from this guy? I need a starship visually designed for my book.

[@GeorgeCowsert]

I tried to get one off his patreon, but he doesn't have the option. I know that 3D modeling, especially of his quality, takes time and effort which probably decentivizes taking commissions, but he could just jack up the price so much that less people do it.

[@pwnmeisterage]

Just ask him directly, lol. Describe what you want. If he's interested then he'll describe what he can do, how long it will take, and what it'll cost.

[@tred6292]

What if you designed a R.D. Moore Battlestar civilian ship design, based on the Original Series 1701 Enterprise, that made a cameo in the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica series?

[@merafirewing6591]

EC Henry, please try this.

[@JAGraptor]

That looks a lot like the Jupiter family ships in the Netflix Lost in Space series.

[@chrisbutler9594]

Facinating, An interesting twist on taking ships from other genre's and bringing it in, the only thing I have is the lack of the cockpit section being accounted for which is visible in that blurry image, but other than that you've inspired me to do something similar, taking my favorite ships and just adapting their design

[@darthjekyll3648]

It's just a runabout with a dish.

[@schwarzeseis4031]

STO-Player here. Specialized is Escorts (Destroyers). Thanks to this video, I want a Falcata-Class already -- Have my buddies shoot at me for that extra bang and make the scientists a litle more usefull while they're on Downtime (their weapons tend to be rather lame, but this way, they could contribute their own weapon outupt to enhace a Falc's DPS). Love the idea!

[@DonDonP1]

Hello. Cool! "Star Trek" and "Star Wars" are among my cups of tea. Thanks for sharing. Live long and prosper and may the Force be with you and yours. After all, without "Star Trek," "Star *Wars*" would have not existed.

[@jtek2259]

OK I loved the Prometheus reference, because the Prometheus class vessel is so underrated

[@Pongowl]

Hey this design is really cool, fantastic work! Extremely unique take on the Falcon!

[@KinseySS]

I love that you still kept similar design choices like the runabout cockpit.

[@DunestrikeMorgan]

I love this. I made starshios myself, like my Timeline Class. But im not that good in 3D designing. I only have an digital picture i made and my lego modell. I build a lot of ships with lego that could be cool in Star Trek. I wish i had the skill to make small Animation films.

[@WTZWBlaze]

Damn, you just made all this up? I’ll admit, I’m impressed. That’s a new subscriber for you. Well done.

[@entenmanny3061]

"May the Force be with You.." Spock 🖖

[@arnouth5260]

Could you analize the ships in wolf-359 and/or Qualor II Surplus Depot Z15

[@starbrand3726]

Fantastic! I love this ship. Wish I could get a model of it.

[@alexispryde5415]

the lore you built was incredible i love how well you flushed it out and it fits perfect with the existing lore - im not a fan of the ships design for the profile but thats because im not a falcon fan for the design lol the designh you made still puts the accual falcon and alot of starfleet ships to shame it was done well although i would say the dish created a field that absorbed the directed energy to storage to be fired that way it doesnt seem as the dish must be aimed at to recieve

[@cherubin7th]

The movies of Star Wars are part of the Star Trek universe, because we are part of this Universe. Star Trek is a fictional future of our world. So it makes sense that someone who liked this old movies would want to build Star Wars like space ships and robots. On the other hand the Star Trek movies are not part of the Star Wars universe, because it plays very far away in the past.

[@captainpharaoh]

VERY nice storyline and theory for the Falcada class. One of my players in my Star Trek RPG game actually has a son who built a Star Trek version of the Falcon. This fits the bill perfectly. Nicely done!!

[@antoniabenson5165]

You know, I think this Easter-egg kinda reminds me of one of the new ship designs in Star Trek Discovery's third season, so I guess this explains where they might have gotten that idea.

[@fulldiscography]

Absolutely love this video!! Such a cool, genius in-universe concept to bring these two franchises together. Makes me wish there was a similar Star Trek Easter egg in a Star Wars movie that you could play around with. Not sure if it's worth it for you to make a video but here's a suggestion: how about an in-universe explanation for the R2 droids in the Kelvin timeline? You could even do a redesign to more closely match the Star Trek aesthetic like you've done here with the Falcon! Looking forward to your continued content, EC Henry!

[@Lazarus1095]

What I like the most about the lore of the Falcata Class is the recognition that the same Starfleet that sent crew after crew to a meaningless grave in the Miranda Class had no problem exploring the ramifications of phaser technology that got its entire crew killed on its first live combat test- and STILL considered it a success.

[@UI_Shaggy05]

There's one problem that you missed here, in that scene in Star Trek, there appears to be a cockpit on the side of the ship, just like the Millennium Falcon. It looks too similar not to be the Millennium Falcon!

[@Freezezonian]

Man I just love seeing all of these kinds of ideas and giving life and lore to starships that have been forgotten.

[@Neptune0404]

You did such a good job that I forgot it wasn't canon about halfway through and wasn't reminded until the end.

[@ropshubop]

Dude, I really look forward to the day when I get my credit card paid down low enough to start supporting you on Pateron again. But for now, all I have are words. Your content is amazing. It's so unique and thoughtful that it makes me wish my sci-fi tastes were broader so I could "get" more of your stuff than I do. Thanks for letting us into your brain. PHASER REPEATER!!!

[@ronheuvel887]

Very nice work! It looks like an actual starfleet vessel. Also the story behind it sounds very plausibele Keep up the good work

[@delappedesigns]

What an unbelievable concept. Great work!

[@MDPToaster]

I’d love to see you try and model up some of the ships from FTL and Endless Sky. Great content as always dude.
