== Background information ==
The Narada was considered for inclusion in the Starships Collection as early as 2012 but the model was ultimately not released, though the text for the accompanying magazine appears to have been partially completed. Due to the intricate design of the studio model, it was deemed "impossible" to turn into a suitable miniature, according to project manager Ben Robinson, and has proven to be the only starship design the company has been unable to bring to market.
