Star Trek technical manuals

Star Trek blueprints' were started by Franz Joseph in 1975 when he created and published his blueprints Star Fleet Technical Manual for Star Trek. Over the past 30 years a number of Technical manuals have been created by a number of individuals, both fans and professional artists, to cover the ever increasing variety of ships, vehicles, and equipment which are cosidered both canon and non-canon.

Two of the Technical Manual Creators have gone on to work on the set of Star Trek.

Rick Sternbach was hired as an official Illustrator for Star Trek: The Motion Picture and subsequently was hired to work on Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager and worked on the Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual and the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Technical Manual publications from Pocket Books.

Geoffery Mandel was hired as scenic artist on Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek Enterprise and Star Trek: Insurection and Star Trek: Star Charts published by Pocket Books.

Both of these blueprint creators have moved on from a humble creator of Blueprints and Technical Manuals to helping shape the look of the Star Trek apperance.

Shane Johnson went on to publish the official publication Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise and Worlds of the Federation both produced by Pocket Books after creating his fan produced blueprints
