Quotes / Shiny-Looking Spaceships

Web Video

Today, when a new vessel is commissioned into service within the great armada that is Starfleet, they bear little resemblance to the utilitarian ships of old. They are nothing less than works of art. In their design is expressed the character and ideals of The Federation itself: beauty without excess, boldness without arrogance, and grace without pride. Every Federation starship exhibits these ideals in their own way, but even within Starfleet, it is rare that they should come together so seamlessly as in the design of the Sovereign-class.
