Whether or not you're religious, the Bible is a hugely important book that did an enormous amount of good for human civilization. The problem is that evil people ignore its compassionate wisdom, and twist it to justify their greed, xenophobia, and their lust for power.      source

Herman Zimmerman - 1998-10-01

This technical manual is a must-have for any Star Trek fan interested in the technology and weaponry used by Starfleet, as well as the many different species encountered in the deep space station. The book features hundreds of schematic diagrams and illustrations, including four full-color gatefolds, providing an in-depth look at the station, the Promenade, and the U.S.S. Defiant. Learn how the station was transformed from a Cardassian ore-processing facility into a fully operational Starfleet installation, and how Starfleet engineers merged two divergent technologies.
