Originally featured as a "spinning wheel of light", or rather as a "faint glowing blip" (Scene 24, Script draft, 14 September 1967, p. Original simple "pulsing light" optical, and its converted preliminary CGI version by Eaglemoss on the right ( TOS: " Journey to Babel")įootage of the original "spinning wheel" starship optical was recycled in " Patterns of Force", representing the Ekosian V-2 rocket.
The scout's crew chose to set their vessel to self-destruct rather than be captured. Kirk allowed his ship to drift, baiting the Orion ship in to a range of about 75,000 kilometers, before disabling it with a few phaser shots. Due to the vessel's design, it was able to block the sensor probes of the Enterprise, allowing the ship to remain unidentified, and the size of its crew masked.Īfter making multiple strafing runs at the Enterprise, it was eventually defeated by the Enterprise in combat, after Enterprise Captain James T. While en route to Babel from Vulcan, in 2268, the USS Enterprise encountered an intruder vessel, later discovered to be an Orion scout ship. While moderately armed with standard phasers, the scout ship was capable of evading both phaser and photon torpedo fire, due to its incredible speed indeed, capable of traveling at warp 10 in combat. This technology was unlike the cloaking device used by the Romulans. The scout ship's hull was composed of high density trititanium, allowing the vessel to be "cloaked" against Federation sensor probes. These two components spun independently of each other while the ship was in flight. The propulsion system itself consisted of two four-spoke components, each containing four propulsion units. The Orion scout ship had a unique design, previously unknown to Starfleet, consisting of an oblong primary hull attached by a central "spine" to a large vertical ring, perpendicular to the primary hull, which contained the ship's propulsion system.
The Orion scout ship was a type of scout ship utilized by the Orions during the mid- 23rd century.
