Where Sea Meets Sky

Captain Pike braves uncharted dangers!
Where Sea Meets Sky is a Pocket TOS novel – the sixth novel in The Captain's Table series – written by Jerry Oltion. Published by Pocket Books, it was first released in .
== Summary ==
;From the back cover:
:There's a bar called "The Captain's Table", where those who have commanded mighty vessels of every shape and era can meet, relax, and share a friendly drink or two with others of their calling. Sometimes a brawl may break out but it is all in the family, more or less. Just remember, the first round of drinks is always paid for with a story– fishy or not.
:Years before Kirk took command, Captain Christopher Pike guided the Starship Enterprise on a five-year mission. Pike's journey took him to many new and unexplored realms, none more strange or perilous than a devastated star system where huge, space-faring lifeforms, vital to the survival of one inhabited star system, wreak havoc on the humanoid inhabitants of the other. Captain Pike must thrust the Enterprise into deadly danger as he fights to save one innocent civilization without dooming the other.
== Background information ==
* The concept of the "titans" came from a panel discussion Oltion was a panel member on, during a convention in Missouri in the mid-1980s, along with George Takei: "we came up with these cool space whales that scooped hydrogen from the atmospheres of gas giants for food and laid their eggs on terrestrial planets". When he was asked to contribute a Captain Pike entry for the Captain's Table series, Oltion recalled: "I cast about for the kind of story that would fit the rough-edged feel of the Enterprise and crew as we saw them in , and finally realized that a Jules Verne kind of story would be perfect. The space whales immediately came to mind." ()
* Oltion was unhappy with the decision by Pocket editor John Ordover to loop the stories presented in the series, by inserting the initial few pages of War Dragons at the end of his novel without an indication of what was happening. In , Oltion recalled, annoyed, that many people had commented on the "bizarre" ending, when it had been outside his control entirely. ()

White-sound device

A white-sound device was an instrument in use aboard Starfleet vessels that was able to mask individual sounds from sensor devices.
It was employed on the bridge of the in the year 2267, during testimony in the court martial of Captain James T. Kirk. Doctor Leonard McCoy used the device to mask the sound of the remaining crew members' and court personnel's heartbeats. This allowed the sensors to detect Lieutenant Commander Benjamin Finney's heartbeat; Finney was previously thought to have died due to Kirk's actions, thereby prompting the court proceedings. 
Finney was ultimately located in engineering. ()

White Church

The White Church was a shrine in the settlement of New Eden on Terralysium. Before this, it was the East Fork Presbyterian Church, a Christian church in Richmond, Indiana on Earth.
== History ==
During World War III in 2053, several hundred Human soldiers and civilians sought shelter inside the church from atomic bombs. Before they were to be destroyed, the church was enveloped in bright light, heralding the arrival of an angelic being who transported the church and its occupants to another planet, which they named Terralysium.
The occupants of the church built a settlement, New Eden, around it. The church was given stained glass windows reflecting its congregation's new syncretic religion and history of being saved by the "angel". Adjacent to the church was a small cemetery with tombstones.
The church's basement contained a number of relics from Earth, including a transmitter that the original soldiers had used to send a distress call. The existence of this transmitter, jury-rigged to continue to transmit as a beacon, was only known by Jacob's family, who were descended from scientists and had tended to it for generations. 
To the descendants of the "First Saved", the church became a shrine known as the "White Church". Eventually, its battery units were exhausted and without electric lights, pilgrimages to the church dwindled.
In 2257, an away team from the arrived at the church after being led to Terralysium by a red burst. After learning about the Human colonists, Captain Christopher Pike provided Jacob with a power cell in exchange for a helmet camera that had recorded the angel. With the cell, Jacob restored the lights of the church. ()
== White Church religion ==
The religion centered on the White Church was cobbled together from the primary faiths of Earth, including Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Shinto and Wicca. A new scripture was present at the church, which consisted of pre-existing writings that were heavily edited. In this religion, prayer existed, as well as pilgrimages to the shrine that was the White Church. A senior figure was the All-Mother, and celebrations included the harvest moon.
The religion also placed emphasis on the "salvation" brought by the angel that had transported the First Saved to Terralysium. New stained glass windows had been installed in the White Church shortly after the arrival, commemorating this event.

Whorfin class

The Whorfin class was a type of transport starship used by the El-Aurians in the late 23rd century. The class used YPS pulse fusion propulsion system, and had a maximum warp speed of warp factor 4.
Two Whorfin-class starships, the and the , were destroyed by the Nexus energy ribbon in 2293. ()

== Appendices ==
=== Background information ===
The class was likely named after John Whorfin, who was in turn, named after Lord John Whorfin, the leader of the evil Red Lectroid army, who possessed the body of Dr. Emilio Lizardo in the movie The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension!. Much of the information on the ship's statistics appeared on the computer readout screen on the science officer's console on the . The okudagram identified the ships as being of El-Aurian registry.
According to Issue #162 of the Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection, the Whorfin-class was approximately 270 meters in length and was affiliated with the Federation.
=== Studio model ===
The Whorfin class was the first starship seen in the Star Trek saga to be exclusively computer-generated (CGI), as no physical studio model was built for this design, though strictly speaking that distinction falls to the D'Arsay archive which was a space faring structure rather than a starship. On designing and building the model Industrial Light & Magic's Bill George recalled,"The Lakul was actually based on a truck we had designed for that John Knoll liked. I really enjoyed working with Rob Coleman, who was our CG modeler. Designing the basic shape went pretty smoothly; it was a bit brick-shaped, but we added some pontoons to it, which helped a bit. But detailing it became a bit frustrating because I couldn't get my hands on it. Rather than trying to communicate which things should be changed, it was easier for me to make a quickie model the traditional way [read:study model] and set it on Rob's desk. I'd come back two hours later and his CG model would be perfect. I'm encouraged that computers haven't completely taken over. It's becoming obvious that the old and new tools work best together. "(American Cinematographer, April 1995, page 84)
The CGI models worked so well in combination with the likewise CGI Nexus effect, such as controlling the interactive light and being able to move the models freely within the phenomena, that visual effects supervisor John Knoll decided to digitize the Enterprise-B as well for its scenes within the Nexus. (American Cinematographer, April 1995, page 85)
CGI at that point in time was of such novelty, causing the authors of the captions in the Star Trek: The Next Generation Sketchbook: The Movies, to mistake the picture of the model on page 17 for a painting.
