This is a Constitution variant created for the destroyer and support role. The Pallada was known for being durable and rugged, making her an excellent combat vessel for her time. One of the notable vessels of this class would be the USS Polaris, a prominent member of the United Earth first fleet.

Thanks to his inspirational and the epic CG rendering skills of Dave Metlesits from DeviantArt, I was inspired to do a rendition of one of his original vessels. Which was the Pallada Class USS Polaris. It is a destroyer vessel featured in his numerous fan fictions currently hosted on DeviantArt. After securing permission from Dave to create an Armada 2 version of his craft, I immediately proceeded to start work on this rendition. Of course, with the help of Fahres for the original model and Majestic, for the kitbashing. Team effort for the win!

Overall, this makes a fine addition to your TOS fleets, makes a nice change from the usual destroyers of the era. =p


A new mod from the master of graphics! And. indeed, an awesome addition to any TOS era fleet. If you're a TOS fan, then get this ASAP. Why should you wait? It's Jetfreak quality!

Thanks man, here's more info on the Polaris herself. And don't worry about the Xenophobia tagline :P It turns out that the Polaris has a very human crew. ;-)

Great Job! This looks awesome!

This does look good, although the Bridge dome looks a little tall and out of proportion.

@#4


I too find it's out of proportion however it's what the design is and what Jet wanted so I went with it. :-)

Cool ship, kinda looks like a TOS version of the Luna class.

Thanks Jet, I've been following Dave's artworks too! Though your version has a number of errors which I'd like to nitpick on! (Don't bite!)


- Dave recently edited the mesh, he shortened the bridge height, the old one was too high like here.

- He used pilot version nacelles, the ones here are for the series version.

- You also made a couple of errors with the windows on the engineering hull.


Still, its a great effort man. Any chance for a version 2.0?
