REGISTRY NUMBER		INFO
B-24-CLN (444)		B-24-CLN (444) was a Federation starship that had been decommissioned by the mid-24th century. Prior to 2368, the B-24-CLN was assigned to Surplus Depot Z15. TNG "Unification, Part I" The model used for B-24-CLN was one of the concept USS Enterprise study models designed by Ken Adam and Ralph McQuarrie for Star Trek: Planet of the Titans. Although the designation was not visible on the hull in "Unification I", it is appears on the actual study model, a photo of which appears in The Art of Star Trek, page 56.

	History:
	Nothing is known about this starship class whose construction seems to date back to the late 23rd century or earlier. This is the first of two study models designed by Ralph McQuarrie in 1977. Although they were so far attributed to the planned TV series Star Trek Phase II, McQuarrie technically built them for a movie to be called "Planet of the Titans". Study model I briefly appeared on screen in TNG: "Unification" and was probably visible in TNG: "Best of Both Worlds" too. The model is labeled "B-24-CLN", which could be a registry denoting an experimental or decommissioned vessel, or even one that does not belong to Starfleet at all.
