The Star Trek Online Starships Collection is a British partwork magazine and product line that debuted on and was published by Eaglemoss Collections under its Hero Collector imprint.
In partnership with Perfect World (Arc Games)/Cryptic Studios and authorized and licensed by ViacomCBS Consumer Products, it was available from company webshops and other specialty retailers in a number of countries worldwide. No subscription scheme had been considered for this collection.
Each issue included a magazine and a hand-paintedThe models were painted freehand and with the use of paint masks (templates), alongside pad and tampo printing processes. The earliest prototypes were 3D printed in resin and, once approved by Eaglemoss, Perfect World, and CBS, the models were manufactured by the Holinail Group in Dongguan, China using a variety of injection, vacuum, and compression molding techniques. 100 to 140 mm-long and scaled replica of a starship from Star Trek Online, the game.
A twenty-page magazine (measuring 145 × 183 mm) fit within the windowbox package (beneath the model) and commonly featured three main sections, including an "in-universe" profile of the starship, a behind-the-scenes exploration of the ship's design history, and an article about broader STO lore.
A 50%-off coupon for a Tier 6 starship for the video game was included with each issue.
Ben Robinson, John Ainsworth, and Thomas Marrone, the project's managers, utilized the original CGI models from the video game as reference for the miniatures and for many of the illustrations and orthographic views within the magazine.
Marrone, the lead artist for the game's Starship and UI art teams and a STO starship designer in his own right, was the lead art editor, the creator of many renders for the magazine, the source of paint guides of the game's CG models, and the author of the magazines' text content.
Ainsworth coordinated the production of the physical miniatures from start to finish, while Fabio Passaro's provided format conversions. Notably, a variety of ship designs from the game, including a number by designers Marrone, , and , were being mass-produced as miniatures for the first time.
Developed from Adam Ihle's prize-winning Odyssey-class design for the game's 2011 Design the Next Enterprise contest, Eaglemoss/Hero Collector previously manufactured two starship miniatures of the (in two distinct liveries) as Bonus Editions within the first Official Starships Collection partwork.
On , project manager Ben Robinson announced that the line would conclude following the release of the twentieth issue, due to an insufficient response at retail. Ironically, when (new) Master Replicas took over the remaining stock after Eaglemoss had gone bankrupt in August 2022, they soon discovered that some of the Online issues were among the hottest items they were offering up for resale through their webstore, particularly the Starfleet vessels which sold out within seconds after having been put online almost every time. For issues 1, 7, 15, and 17, this was especially pertinent due to their transition into canon with their onscreen appearances in the third season of . 
This series was a sister publication of the Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection, Star Trek: Discovery The Official Starships Collection, Star Trek: The Next Generation Build The USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D, and Star Trek Universe: The Official Starships Collection partworks.
