==Background information==
* The January spread featured a space station that was originally a reject for the first season of . However, it was later repurposed for use in the film portion of the Borg Invasion 4D attraction as Copernicus Station. The CGI model was built by Drexler from a John Eves design.
* One of the three background Romulan ships in the technifold, concerned an Earth-Romulan War-era starship. Never seen on-screen, it had strong connections nonetheless, as it marked a print franchise reappearance of the reference model that Greg Jein had designed and built for Michael Okuda's , where it was featured as such. While production staffers had managed to elevate three of the five reference models Jein had built for the Chronology to canon, which included the Daedalus-class model, the Romulan starship was one of the two for which they failed to do likewise. As both this, and the Daedalus models are still in Okuda's possession, it explains the Okuda acknowledgement on the technifold.
* This was the eighth outing in the Ships of the Line calendar series that saw an internationally released variant edition by Danilo Promotions Limited for the UK and the Commonwealth. As with the previous outing, it was a reprint of the one year prior US 2019 edition, with the same contents, though, again, there were some slight editorial differences, the lack of the centerfold in particular.
