If you live, eat, and breathe Star Trek, then this story should come as welcome news. According to sources, Hero Collector, a division of Eaglemoss that helps to promote their latest products across all brands, will publish two new reference books towards the end of 2018, heretofore dubbed Star Trek: Shipyards. Designed along the same lines as the Jane’s Fighting Ships series of pictorial reference guides, the books are being co-authored by brand manager Ben Robinson and Marcus Riley, and will encompass all of the Federation ships portrayed in the Star Trek universe and Star Trek Discovery spin-off series. Word has it that each will contain a special collectible, although its not clear if this will be a memento, such as a pin, or perhaps one of the ships portrayed in Star Trek. No word concerning the length of each book, the depth and breadth of each ship discussed, nor price, although the first of the two reference books is expected this September. In the meantime, here’s some cover art to whet your appetite until we have something more substantial to feed you.

In other news, we’ve learned that Eaglemoss, in conjunction with Hero Collector, will be producing a fourth installment in their reference material series. The latest perfect-bound, hard cover book will cover over 30 different starships, all christened Enterprise, thereby providing a behind-the-scenes look into their creation, schematics and storied existence. Look for it to appear on book shelves later this year.
