The SS Botany Bay is a DY-100-class sleeper ship designed to hold 100 crew in cryogenic sleep. It was used by Khan Noonien Singh to escape earth with 84 of his fellow superhumans in 1996, but the ship fell adrift. It was discovered in 2267 by the USS Enterprise led by Captain Kirk. Khan attempted to take over the Enterprise but was defeated and left in exile on Ceti Alpha V.


This is an extremely accurate 1.5:1 recreation of the SS Botany Bay, using plans from this website: http://www.cygnus-x1.net/links/lcars/ss-botany-bay.php

It's a great resource for anyone who builds Star Trek ships. The vessel was a pretty fun but surprisingly short build. This is the first ship I've ever done off pre-existing plans. Came out pretty darn good.
