Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection #159 Batris (Talarian Freighter)

The Talarian freighter Batris, a freighter that was commandeered by rebel Klingons. The Batris starship has painstakingly been recreated in die-cast with extraordinary attention to detail capturing the intricate design, including three large circular engine exhausts, and three large modular containers. Designed by Greg Jein, this starship appears in Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Inside the collector’s magazine, we take an in-depth profile of the Talarian freighter Batris, a cargo ship manned by rebel Klingons, which destroyed the Klingon cruiser IKS T’Acog. The magazine goes behind the scenes at bringing the Klingons to Star Trek: The Next Generation and includes an exclusive interview with the late Maurice Hourley about the challenges he faced as the showrunner of The Next Generation.
