This ship got its inspiration from the Federation Steamrunner Class starship.

The model uses the saucer from the Enterprise-D, the main hull from the Klingon Battle Cruiser, the secondary hull from the Excelsior, and the warp engines from the DS9 Runabout
.

The torpedo launcher from the Enterprise-E is mounted on top of the saucer bridge.
   
Splitting the top half of the saucer into three pieces created the engine intakes. The middle section had the front and rear edges thinned down so that it would sit lower. The outer sections were then raised using strip styrene. The engine housing connecting the Runabout engines to the saucer was made from sheet styrene.
 
The base color is Intermediate Blue with highlights in Light Gray and Wine Red.
