Animated STAR TREK - Technology Turn Graphics ON!

TECHNOLOGY

of the Animated STAR TREK series


The Animated STAR TREK series had one significant advantage over its live action precursor, that of being able to inexpensively show any ship or device that the series art director imagined. It is common knowledge that special effects such as making spaceships fly or space phenomenons pulsate, are terribly expensive to do in a live action series. The animated series was able to show a great number of technological items that would have been cost prohibitave to attempt in live action. The original series encompassed some 80 hours of programs and showed about a dozen spaceships. The animated series spanned only 11 hours and brought a whopping 30 spaceships and vehicles (including some dozen ships seen in the "The Time Trap") into the Star Trek universe.

Below is a list of vehicles from the Animated STAR TREK series. Each name in the following list is a link to a page devoted to that ship.
