3D CUTAWAY DRAWINGS:
BRIDGES OF THE USS ENTERPRISE
AS DESIGN PREDECESSORS TO VOYAGER'S BRIDGE

The starship bridges below formed the main design history which designer Richard James had to consider when conceptualising the bridge of USS Voyager. Image sources: TOSTFF and ST:M.

Postscript: NX-01 Enterprise, although it pre-dates the starships named USS Enterprise and USS Voyager, was introduced into the Star Trek world after the end of the [Star Trek Voyager] series. Star Trek's designers maintained backwards-conformity (or backwards-plausibility) so that it is believeable as the predecessor to the starship-class mentioned on USS Enterprise NCC-1701's dedication plaque. 3D cutaway drawing of the bridge of NX-01 Enterprise

Postscript: Although the Sovereign-class starship USS Enterprise NCC-1701-E was launched in 2371 and therefore was not used by Starfleet designers to design the Intrepid-class (such as USS Voyager), Star Trek's designers keep to the traditional Starfleet bridge design. 3D cutaway drawing of the bridge of USS Enterprise NCC-1701-E

As can be seen from the pages about his designing Voyager's bridge, Richard James' initial concepts departed radically from the above layouts in a deliberate attempt to explore every possibility before rediscovering the strengths of Matt Jefferies' design for the original USS Enterprise - in particular, the use of a main viewscreen at the front of the bridge.

Designing Voyager's bridge is described in six illustrated pages as part of my "DESIGNING USS VOYAGER" section (link below). I offer two 3D cutaway drawings of USS Voyager's bridge - one is labelled, one has no labels or sidebars; both are larger than the USS Enterprise drawings above, and both can be seen via "SHIP: bridge index" (link below).
