Star Trek Universe: The Official Starships Collection

Star Trek Universe: The Official Starships Collection is a British partwork magazine and product line, conceived along the exact same lines as its two immediate predecessors Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection and Star Trek: Discovery The Official Starships Collection, that premiered in Originally slated to premiere on 1 April 2021, limited quantities of the first two issues were inadvertently shipped to some UK customers in early March. and was published by Eaglemoss Collections under its Hero Collector imprint. 
The line was available to the UK, EU, and US, being marketed in a number of other countries as well. Subscriptions were available to select countries,As had been the case with the preceding Discovery Starships Collection, non-British EU customers were allowed to take out a subscription through the UK website, if a local official website was not available to them in their home countries, which had been the case for countries like the Netherlands, Belgium, and Denmark. Subscription services to US customers only became available on 1 December 2021, almost nine months after the Europeans were afforded to. and products were widely retailed by the company's international webshops and other retailers.
Each issue includes a sixteen-page magazine (measuring 168 × 217 mm The partwork's A5 format magazines are the same size as those from the preceding Star Trek: Discovery The Official Starships Collection.) and a 150 to 240 mm-long hand-painted The models are painted freehand and with the use of paint masks (templates), alongside pad and tampo printing processes. From CAD files made from conversions of the original CGI studio models, the earliest prototypes are 3D printed in resin and, once approved by Eaglemoss and the licensors, are tooled and manufactured in China using a variety of injection, vacuum, and compression molding techniques. scaled replica of a starship from and/or .
Also featuring vessels from as part of its scope, this line superseded the prior Discovery Starships CollectionAlongside a few Discovery (XL Edition) ships in the Official Starships Collection, this partwork was intended to present the company's future (regular) DIS starship releases, following the release of the thirty-third numbered issue of the Discovery Starships Collection., and was expected to grow to encompass future Star Trek projects that were concurrently in production. This was in compliance with the "Star Trek Universe"-concept the franchise had instituted earlier that year as part of the 55th anniversary celebrations, and Eaglemoss became the first Star Trek merchandise manufacturer to adhere to the (mandatory) concept by applying the new branding to their product lines.
Received directly from the shows' VFX teams, production-used CGI studio models were adapted for use as printable 3D miniatures (and for 2D renders in the magazines) and converted into files by Fabio Passaro's , under the supervision of Eaglemoss' Development Manager, John Ainsworth. 
Cast in and , a number of starship designs were reproduced here (as miniatures) for the first time by any manufacturer.
Once again, Ben Robinson was the senior manager of the project and a co-author and co-editor of the accompanying magazines, which bore the then-current (sub-)titles, Star Trek: Picard The Official Starships Collection and Star Trek: Discovery The Official Starships Collection.
Gift premiums had been released to subscribers and larger Special Edition starship and figurine models were scheduled. Additionally, XL Edition models of some popular "hero ships" from the aforementioned Star Trek shows were available in the Official Starships Collection.
A number of starship profile articles from this series were also published in the second edition of the Star Trek: Shipyards - Starfleet Ships 2294 to the Future reference book.
A sister publication of the Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection, Star Trek: The Next Generation Build The USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D, and Star Trek Online Starships Collection lines, it was authorized and licensed by Paramount Consumer Products.
On , the collection came to a sudden and unexpected halt, when the company was forced to cease its business activities under the UK Insolvency Act – meaning a company is no longer able to pay off its debts. Eaglemoss was due to and related problems, already far behind with the fulfillment of the obligations to their subscribers, and most of the 2022 releases were first offered up at their webstores instead of being sent out to subscribers, which essentially constituted a breach of contract. When the company was forced to cease their activities in July 2022, almost all of the 2022 releases had yet to be received by the vast majority of subscribers (with US subscribers even still having to await most of the 2021 releases), issue 11 being the last most subscribers were sent in June.Ironically, issues 12 through 15 not being sent out to subscribers but only sold through the webstores (as has indeed applied to the vast majority of all 2022 Eaglemoss releases, including those from other media franchises ), meant that they have now become very expensive rarities in the aftermarket, as subscribers dutifully awaited for the company to fulfill their subscription obligations, in vain as it turned out – the handful of issues that did reach their respective fanbases through the webstores, were confirmed by reviews diligent customers posted on YouTube. It has upon Eaglemoss' bankruptcy instantaneously resulted in what Robert Meyer Burnett had called "a mad dash" of collectors (of whom Burnett was one himself ) trying in desperation to snatch up the few remaining 2022 issues still available in the aftermarket at that point in time and causing retail prices to soar explosively to hugely inflated levels, a frowned upon practice employed by third-party retailers who are colloquially known as "scalpers". Still, after they had acquired the remainder stocks from the bankrupt company, (new) Master Replicas came to the rescue of the frustrated collector base in March 2023, when they started to resell items from the Eaglemoss model partwork lines at the last known normal retail price, which included several 2022 issues from the Universe Starships Collection. Incidentally, no customer had ever received any notification that their subscriptions had been terminated. Bankruptcy was declared on . The remainder stock was eventually acquired by (new) Master Replicas, who started to resell individual issues on a piecemeal basis on their own revived website from April 2023 onward, until the left-over stock was depleted, which included releasing one further, model-only issue (#16) of the Universe collection, Eaglemoss itself had not been able to.

07/03/2021 Originally slated to premiere on 1 April 2021, limited quantities of La Sirena were inadvertently shipped in early March to some UK customers.The UK releases started to regularly experience delays beyond the release dates as initially planned by the company for all their partwork releases from early 2020 onward due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Brexit-inspired move of the company's warehouse and distribution centre from London, UK, to Waghäusel-Kirrlach, Germany, later on in early January 2021. (see also footnotes of main article) It has resulted in a delay ripple effect for not only the launch of the Universe collection, but for the international releases as well, since the UK release was leading for the others – even for Germany and the EU, somewhat ironically. The post-January 2021 release dates mentioned in all tables, are therefore indications of intent rather than the actual release dates.

 	In August 2023 Ben Robinson started a rumor that the Dresselhaus had actually entered regular model production and that some stock had already been produced, getting the hopes up of Star Trek collectors. Master Replicas first reported that only the Dresselhaus packaging was found and not the models themselves, but even that turned out to be false due to poor record-keeping on the part of Eaglemoss in their dying days. All this meant that the Jubayr had indeed been the very last Eaglemoss Star Trek issue to enter regular production, but without reaching market.	
 	According to Ben Robinson and CGI modeller Keene Sin, the USS Tikhov had, apart from the USS Curie, reached the prototype display model construction stage as well, and had their respective in-universe magazine articles already written too, they already having seen publication in the second edition Star Trek: Shipyards - Starfleet Ships 2294 to the Future reference book (pp. 298-302 & 282-285 respectively).

==Limited Edition prints==
The line's first Limited Edition print began to ship to UK subscribers in July 2021 and is limited to 850 copies. EU subscribers began to receive the print between issues 4 and 5, in an edition limited to 3500 copies.The Limited Edition print is part of the partwork for which customers have taken out a subscription and should not be confused with the "Star Trek Universe-themed" print (gift premium) shown above. This out-of-the-ordinary element of the collection was almost certainly introduced as a means to keep collection releases going for subscribers in order to mask experienced/expected reception delays of production assets for the regular publication. Subscribers were not impressed by this scheme as evidenced by the falling "exclusive" copy numbers, which resulted in the unsold/returned/canceled copies becoming available in the company's web-stores to the general public.Incidentally, the variant release numbers for the UK and EU editions, reflect the company's respective customer base sizes; see also the footnotes of its main article in this regard. The second print was released along similar lines in November 2021, though this time around limited to 570 copies for the UK and 2500 for the EU. A third print was released on 10 March 2022.
Each 30 × 40 cm (including the border around the 19.5 × 26.5 cm image) print's artwork was created by DIS starship designer Ryan Dening, and is reproduced on 310 gsm Hahnemühle German Etching paper, also including a Certificate of Authenticity.
The subscriber email announcement claims of being subscriber "exclusives", was somewhat watered down when all three prints, now called "Giclee Art Print[s]", became offered for general sale to the public at large in the company's webstores from early November 2021 onward.

6th 	 	()The USS Toussaint variant of the Inquiry-class model features a different nacelle design than some of its sister ships (like the USS Zheng He) from the same class. Both variants were seen on-screen, and each design was rendered with two distinct liveries. Additionally, some variants display red nacelle elements rather than yellow parts, as rendered in the second edition of the Star Trek: Shipyards - Starfleet Ships 2294 to the Future reference book. All these variants were also showcased in the in-universe chapters of the magazine that came with this gift issue and the two later released class variant bonus issues mentioned above, though the design chapter was lifted one-on-one from the magazine that came with regular issue 2.

==Background information ==
In July 2020, the company announced that its Discovery starship line and its subscriptions would be suspended after the release of issue 33, due to production delays with the third season of Discovery, the resulting lack of new CG assets, ànd because of the mandatory new "Star Trek Universe" branding.
Eaglemoss further reported in October 2020 that it planned to release more starship models from DIS in a future starships line, combined with ships from Picard and Strange New Worlds, and later indicated that the 32nd century Federation fleet from the third season of DIS would be produced. Additionally, a number of unused Klingon starship designs from the DIS partwork might eventually be put into production. 
In February 2021, Robinson reconfirmed that the Universe line would begin with ten ships from Picard and then pivot to Discovery vessels. Robinson had yet to receive any CG assets of starships from the Strange New Worlds production but revealed that he had received four variants (two unique physical models in two distinct liveries) of the Inquiry-class starship from PIC's producers. 
Leftover stock seller (new) Master Replicas tried but failed to acquire a license from CBS Consumer Products to continue the collection themselves. That license went on to De Agostini instead, who subordinated the soon-to-be revived collection under their Fanhome imprint. And while Fanhome's in November 2024 launched carried the same name of Eaglemoss' original Official Starship Collection, it was in effect a continuation of the Universe collection considering its issue selection as well as the scale and release format execution.
