Eaglemoss Releases Enterprise 1701 Dedication Plaque. The starships that British replica maker Eaglemoss has been making over the past few years are fantastic. If we could zoom inside one of those ships, we'd find a little dedication plaque on the bridge. Luckily, for key Federation ships, they’ve produced replicas of those plaques as well. You can already hang those of the Enterprise-D, Enterprise-E, Enterprise NX-01, Voyager, and the Defiant on your wall, and now you can add the dedication plaque from the original 1701 to that collection as well. We take a look at the replica Eaglemoss has created with with the help of Mike Okuda. View Mike Okuda’s design brief on StarTrek.com: Host Production |

It’s unclear. But it does look better for those who want to keep Trek on their favorite streaming service. We share our thoughts on the new development. Host Production |
