The yellow model's registry was accomplished by rearranging the "NCC-1700" registry decal available in the Constitution-class models. In reality, the registry numbers intended for use on the Constellation-type vessels might have been that high, but the number NCC-2893 had already been used on the ship's plaque from the script (although at that time the ship was intended to be a refitted Constitution). Rick Sternback's perspective on the model, from the Drex Files(X), "It's like Camelot, it's only a model. Pretend the NCC-7100 isn't there, and it's exactly like a corporate desk model of, say, an F-22 with generic markings and no specific tail number.

  • The yellow model's registry was accomplished by rearranging the "NCC-1700" registry decal available in the Constitution-class models. In reality, the registry numbers intended for use on the Constellation-type vessels might have been that high, but the number NCC-2893 had already been used on the ship's plaque from the script (although at that time the ship was intended to be a refitted Constitution). Rick Sternback's perspective on the model, from the Drex Files(X), "It's like Camelot, it's only a model. Pretend the NCC-7100 isn't there, and it's exactly like a corporate desk model of, say, an F-22 with generic markings and no specific tail number. Yes, the model represents the USS Stargazer, and if we knew back in early 1987 what the actual reg number would turn out to be, we would have used that. Just keep saying: 'There is no 7100... there is no 7100'." Portions of the Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual, co-written by the designers/builders who worked on the model itself, include descriptions of starship prototype phases when new ships are painted with a yellow overcoat to reveal warp field stresses. Sternbach, who built the model, later commented on the color, "The yellow color harmonized with the overall scheme for the ready room, and could be rationalized in a pinch as being a specialized hull coating used in initial warp field tests. Yeah, that's the ticket." [4](X) Some fans have interpreted that Picard kept the model because the starship NCC-7100's test flight was important to him in some way. This starship was still referred to as the Stargazer by some members of the writing staff, notably in the script for "Chain of Command, Part I" . Interestingly, the very first commercially available model of this class, the gaming miniature sized micro machine from Galoob (issue 66106 , 3rd edition), was in this color scheme, and although given the name and registry number of the Stargazer, the producers were probably being confused by early publicized photos.
