Star Trek: Ships of the Line (2014) is the 2014 edition of the Star Trek: Ships of the Line calendar series.

Summary

Publisher's description: A longtime favorite among serious Trekkers and casual fans alike, the Star Trek 2014 Wall Calendar: Ships of the Line has what you can't get anywhere else – spectacular, eye-popping full-color illustrations of the sleek vessels, monumental space stations, and epic starscapes from across the Star Trek universe. Each spread takes the viewer straight into the very heart of Starfleet.

Fourteen beautifully rendered, all new paintings and digital illustrations feature all the action, space drama, and painstaking detail for which these fan-favorite conceptual artists have become famous within the Star Trek community.

Great moments from Starfleet history – including first encounters, iconic battles, and early milestones in interstellar exploration – are brought to vivid life.

Star Trek: Ships of the Line's horizontal, panoramic format maximizes the image space without sacrificing usability or detail.

Bonus center poster included!

Background information

This is the first outing in the Ships of the Line calendar series, which saw an internationally released variant edition, published by Danilo Promotions Limited for the UK and the Commonwealth. Essentially, it was an amalgam of images featured in various previous US calendar editions, with additional editorial differences; the UK edition still lacked the Ships of the Line subtitle as well as the centerfold, but the interior art was less encumbered with text imprint as the individual dates were printed in a separate bar.
