I'm still distracted from the Century Series by non-canon starships unfortunately. This time, however, the ship is actually my own design. I drew it a few days ago while working on a story with a friend. Durandal is a warship, first of her class, and her warp nacelles retract during impulse travel to present a smaller target, protect the nacelles, and help the main deflector power a unique ramming shield.

I should be done with the front and back views tomorrow, at which point I can begin designing a model of it. I intend to make the nacelles fully retractable.




 
nice kinada like a cross between rohde island and voyager very good work cant wait
 
Forgive my ignorance, but when you use the term, "non-canon," you are obviously not referring to Canon papercraft.

Do you mean to indicate that your design is specious, something other than the spacecraft designs we see on TV and the movies?

The idea of retracting the nacelles is indeed clever since many modern combat vehicles employ technologies to reduce their observable profile.
 
yeah non-cannon means its fan-created and that the design was never seen on the show. but it mantians the look of the ships on the show. hope that answers what you asked still cant wait to see this done paragon you designs are very good as is your method of making them.
 
So here she is so far. The windows ended up being a little too large for the 1/1900 scale I was hoping for, so I think I'm going to go back and make them smaller. Otherwise, I'm incredibly pleased with it.













 
Nice looking ship. Do the engines fold in, like on Voyager, or do they slide down the pylons like rails ?
