In shades of red, black, and gray, this quilt began its journey as a Bargello design, but alas, fate had other plans. Faced with unexpected challenges along the way, I found myself unraveling the original pattern in a moment of frustration. However, from the ashes of disappointment emerged a new vision as I carefully cut the quilt into blocks and meticulously reassembled them.
And if you look closely, nestled in the lower left corner, you'll find a subtle homage to our storied voyages—a miniature depiction of the legendary USS Enterprise, a symbol of exploration and adventure in the boundless expanse of space. In this unexpected twist of creativity, the quilt not only tells a tale of perseverance but also serves as a reminder of the ever-present spirit of discovery that guides us on our cosmic odyssey.

The USS Odyssey was destroyed by the Jem'hadar. If I wrote it, they'd have shown up 10 years later in the Ithacan system with Captain Keogh as the sole survivor

USS Sorcerer (NCC-9670-B), Arlington-class long-range fast dreadnought:

The Arlington-class dreadnought USS Sorcerer (NCC-9670-B) started her life as an Odyssey-class dreadnought, one of the sister ships of the USS Enterprise-F. Like her famous sister, the Sorcerer was heavily damaged in the 2411 Battle of Midnight, the climactic battle of the Iconian War, fought above Earth. The Sorcerer lay in spacedock above Mars for several years as subsequent events redirected Federation shipbuilding towards new endeavors. Finally beginning reconstruction in 2412, she saw several planned refit suggestions come and go - first, she was to be rebuilt to Odyssey-class standard, then to the upgraded Yorktown-class refit, then the upgunned Lexington-class subclass of the Yorktown-class. Finally, in 2414, it was decided that the Sorcerer would become the second in the newly designed Arlington-class of long-range fast-response dreadnoughts, to spearhead a new Federation effort to explore the Gamma Quadrant alongside the Federation's allies in the Klingon Empire, Romulan Republic, Tzenkethi Coalition, and the newly peaceful Dominion, as well as follow up on issues related to the Hur'q Crisis of 2411. Under the command of Captain Yanute, the vessel was relaunched on January 1, 2416, the 5th anniversary of the Battle of Midnight.
The Arlington-class long-range fast dreadnought:
As a descendant of the Odyssey-class, the Arlington is one of the largest ships ever built by the Federation; the subclass measures 1041.5 meters long, 385.22 meters at the beam, with a draught of over 200 meters, and a mass of over 7.25 million metric tons. With a crew of over 900, space for a full Starfleet Marine Corps battalion of 800+ members, and an embarked air wing of 400 personnel, the immense long-range vessel is thusly provided with a laundry list of amenities ranging from an internal promenade/mall, a dozen holodecks, two arboretums, two internal pool/sauna complexes, three main social lounges, and dozens of observation areas.
Able to maintain quantum slipstream travel for a full six hours, the Arlington-class combines its impressive speed with some of the heaviest firepower ever added to a Federation vessel. Boasting 29 MkXV phaser arrays, 4 light and 4 heavy MkXV pulsed phaser cannons, and a whopping 14 multipurpose torpedo/probe launch tubes. These tubes are capable of fully automated loading of the full Federation probe range, as well as photon, quantum, and transphasic torpedoes, the latter-most only available in limited quantities due to weapons limitation treaties.
In addition, the Arlington-class carries over the Lexington-class's phaser spinal lance, capable of devastating damage against vessels even larger than the Arlington. The phaser lance has been colloquially nicknamed the "Wave Motion Gun" by Lexington- and Arlington-class crew members, as it's immense energy discharge resembles that of a similarly devastating weapon from a late 20th century Earth science fiction franchise.
The Arlington also plays host and mother ship to an Eagle-class light "parasite" escort, itself a formidable and agile vessel, armed with multiple phaser arrays, four phaser cannons, and four torpedo tubes. A full wing of 60 Federation Aerospace Force Valkyrie aerospace fighters, falling under the command of the vessels' Commander Air Group, rounds out the vessels' firepower.
Defenses consist of a quadruple-layer hyper-capacitor-based metaphasic shield array, a full meter of albative armor, and a full suite of phaser- and microtorpedo-based CIWS systems; the Arlington is also fitted for but not with a Nanotech Molecular Ablative Generator field array, based on technology from an alternate 25th century.

Enterprise F Headcanon
So on the Picard season finale, I loved everything...but the decommissioning of the Enrerprise F in favor of the G. It put the Enterprise F out of service nearly a decade before Star Trek Online. But we are Star Trek fans, and when we don't like something, we headcanon around it. I’ll wite my headcanon about the Titan A/Enterprise G headcanon later (if there's interest), but here's my headcanon on the F's return for the game.
Tumblr media
The Enterprise G serves faithfully up to early 2409, when she is scheduled for refit to replace her older parts with the latest tech. While Starfleet was loath to have the Enterprise out of service during a conflict with the Klingon Empire, some of the Enterprise's components were nearing 40 years old.
Tumblr media
The Utopia Planitia Yards had been re-opened in 2405, and the Enterprise G was to be their most important project yet. When the G pulled into drydock, the yards had the new components already on site, with a projected duration of two months.
Tumblr media
That would change when a KDF fleet led by Commander Alveck attacked Utopia Planitia using codes stolen from the USS Dewitt. This would have undoubtedly been a complete loss for Starfleet, had it not been for the Enterprise G. Captain Seven of Nine and several of her command crew had been visiting their ship to inspect the progress when the attack came. The Enterprise was warp incapable, but her captain had no intention of running.
Tumblr media
The KDF force had expected a defenseless target due to the stolen codes. Instead they found Starfleet's enraged flagship standing between them and victory. 
Tumblr media
The attacking force vastly outnumbered the Constitution III, and she couldn't protect the entire yard, but the Klingon quickly grew frustrated as ship after ship fell to the Enterprise's fire. But the Enterprise was taking heavy damage and her shields finally collapsed. The bird of prey Daqtagh locked torpedoes on the crippled flagship, certain of their victory, but it was not to be.
Tumblr media
Lieutenant Ash'ara of the bird of prey D'tek watched in shock as the Daqtagh vanished in a ball of fire and plasma, only for the bow of the U.S.S. Riptide to emerge as she charged the Klingon fleet. The Riptide was a sister ship of the Enterprise G under the command of Commander Hazel Rendevez. She had found the stricken Dewitt, destroying the KDF ship left behind to scuttle her, and pursued the KDF fleet to Utopia Planitia. She dropped out of warp through the Datagh, destroying it instantly.
Tumblr media
The Riptide and Enterprise dove upon Commander Alvek's flagship, disabling it with their combined fire, before turning to face the D'tek.
With further Starfleet reinforcements appearing on long range sensors,  Lieutenant Ash'ara was forced to order a withdrawal.
Starfleet had repelled the attack, but at high cost.
Multiple ships, both under repairs and incomplete hulls, had been destroyed. Multiple drydocks had been reduced to molten scrap...and the Enterprise had taken critical damage.
The Enterprise G had to be towed to another drydock by her sister; she had suffered major structural damage during the battle. While repairable, it would have taken over a year if the yards had been at full strength. With so many docks destroyed, and the new components meant for Enterprise destroyed, the estimates were closer to two.
Starfleet was down their flagship, at a time they desperately needed her. Morale had dropped drastically after word of the attack had got out. If the fleet learned the Enterprise was out of service...
Fortunately Commodore Geordi LaForge had a solution. Following the completion of the Enterprise D's restoration in 2403, he had turned his attention to another ship of the name. The Odyssey class Enterprise F was nearly operational again, with Utopia Planetia's help, she could enter service within the original timeframe for the G's refit.
Tumblr media
The F was flown to Utopia Planitia under heavy escort, the yard workers beginning their work almost before she stopped moving. Command had ordered the Enterprise restoration to be the yard's highest priority.
Tumblr media
The unexpected revelation of Undine influence brought a temporary ceasefire to the conflict before the F's restoration could be completed, but Starfleet pushed through the project anyway.
This proved to be a wise decision, as during the final week of the refit, Deep Space 9 was taken by a temporally displaced dominion fleet. The newly recommissioned Odyssey class Enterprise would lead the battle to retake the station. Captain Seven of Nine had deferred command, instead choosing to oversee the repair of her Enterprise. Instead Captain Va'kel Shon of the recently lost USS Belfast would be given command of Starfleet's returning flagship.
Tumblr media
Throughout the rest of 2409 to the end of 2410, the Enterprise F served with distinction in the leadup to, and duration of the Iconian war. The final battle of the war saw the Enterprise lead the defense of the Sol System against the Iconian Armada, taking critical damage in the process.
Tumblr media
2411 dawned to see the Enterprises once again switch roles, the newly refitted Enterprise G relieveing the battered Odyssey.
There was consideration given to the idea for retiring the Enterprise F again, but the idea was dismissed as impractical due to the massive losses Starfleet had sustained during the war.
The Enterprise F was refitted to the new Yorktown subclass specifications, bringing the 24 year old vessel back to the forefront of Starfleet technology.
Tumblr media
There was the question of what Starfleet would do with two starships named Enterprise in service at the same time, but the debate was silenced by Admiral Kathryn Janeway, who rolled her eyes and commented that starfleet needed the extra luck given the last few years.
As of 2412 both the Yorktown class U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-F and the Constitution III Class refit U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-G are in service. The 1701-F currently is the active flagship of Starfleet. The Enterprise G has recently departed on a long term Exploration mission.

For the final Ex Astris episode on the USS Enterprise-F/Odyssey-Class, Thomas gave me a list of Odyssey-Class names and registries to use that were considered canon. I didn't use many of them, but here they are!

Apollo 13 spacecraft splashdown in the South Pacific Ocean
"The Apollo 13 Command Module (CM) splashes down and its three main parachutes collapse, as the week-long problem-plagued Apollo 13 mission comes to a premature, but safe end. The spacecraft, with astronauts James A. Lovell Jr., commander; John L. Swigert Jr., command module pilot; and Fred W. Haise Jr., lunar module pilot, aboard splashed down at 12:07:44 p.m. (CST) April 17, 1970, in the South Pacific Ocean, only about four miles from the USS Iwo Jima, prime recovery ship."
Date: April 17, 1970

Just what do you think you're playing, Dave? 🚀🎹🪐
Dr. Dave Bowman playing a digital piano aboard the USS Discovery One before disconnecting HAL 9000.
Some reddit users have speculated he was playing "Also Sprach Zarathustra" by Richard Strauss... Hmmm... Interesting.

My 4th (of 6) Gacha CG-styled fanart of Keir Dullea as Dave Bowman. This was drawn as a New Year 2023 celebration art.
I always liked to imagine what if Dave got his own kimono based on his spacesuit, so I decided to make my own design!
Here's a breakdown of the design i've made, feel free to draw the Space Odyssey characters using this Kimono design if you want (especially Frank and HAL)
Tumblr media
However I have previously drawn Dave in my design in Summer 2022 to try out the design and it worked!
In my headcanon, this was Dave when he spent his last summer on Earth (with Frank) --- Japan. He and Frank got a custom-made Kimono designed after their spacesuits to celebrate the Discovery mission to Jupiter.
(yeah now I draw Dave with red eyeliners)
Tumblr media
Bonus: unrelated to this whole post (but too short to be put as its' own post), just days later I did a Chinese New Year 2023 sketch too (in case you're wondering, Dave's eastern zodiac sign is Dog while Keir's eastern zodiac sign is Rat)
I don't know whether to make an entire sheet for this design (it's a one-off) but enjoy, since we're at the 'new year celebration art' anyway!
Again, this was how Dave got dressed for the last Chinese New Year celebration on Earth before he leaves to embark on USS Discovery.....
Tumblr media
man I just love drawing Keir Dave, he's just so fun to draw
