An Earth spaceship used in the 21st century, the Phoenix featured in Star Trek: First Contact as humanity's first warp-capable ship!

This model comes with an exclusive collector’s magazine that tells the story of this groundbreaking ship, and how John Eaves' design provided a bridge between today with the future.

A Vulcan surveyor starship in use during the 21st century, the T'Plana-Hath was the lander vessel that made first contact between Vulcans and Humans, as seen in Star Trek: First Contact. Named for T'Plana-Hath, a famed Vulcan philosopher, the ship had a crew of three Vulcans – its captain, Solkar, would become the first Vulcan ambassador to Earth, and was Spock's great-grandfather. On April 5th, 2063, the T'Plana-Hath detected the warp signature of the Phoenix, Dr. Zefram Cochrane's experimental spacecraft. In accordance with Vulcan first contact procedure, the crew landed in Montana to meet the pilot – Cochrane himself – and offered the Vulcan salute that began the long-standing alliance between Earth and Vulcan. The accompanying magazine explores the development of this exotic spaceship, designed by Star Trek legend John Eaves, which laid the foundations for every Vulcan vessel since.
