Star Trek: Discovery The Official Starships Collection
Star Trek: Discovery The Official Starships Collection is a monthly British partwork magazine and product line that premiered on  and is published by Eaglemoss Collections under its Hero Collector imprint. 

A sister publication of the Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection, Build The USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D, and Star Trek Online Starships Collection partworks, it is authorized and licensed by CBS Consumer Products, debuted simultaneously in the US and the UK, and is marketed to a number of countries worldwide. 

Products are available through subscription (where applicable), through the company's international webshops, and from many other retailers, including Diamond Comic Distributors, Anovos, and ThinkGeek/GameStop.  

Each standard issue includes a (roughly) six to ten inch-long (150 to 240 mm-long) hand-painted  scaled replica of a starship from the  series. Cast in  and , a number of starship designs have been reproduced here (as miniatures) for the first time by any manufacturer.
Available separately, larger Special Edition starship models, metallic resin dedication plaques, dedicated magazine binders, and a figurine have been produced. Gift premiums have also been released to subscribers.

Ben Robinson, the project's senior manager, and his team, under the supervision of John Ainsworth,  utilize the original CGI studio models provided by Pixomondo for reference, once they have been approved by CBS Studios and Secret Hideout, the show's primary production companies, and the VFX team.    

Robinson and Ainsworth have their longtime Official Starships Collection associate Fabio Passaro convert these models into , Eaglemoss' software package of choice, as the production-used models are created in  and must be re-texturized, rescaled, and modified for 3D printing. Passaro then converts these 3D models into  files.   

At the Holinail Group, Eaglemoss' manufacturing partner in China,  these files are converted into the CAD format used by the factory and tooling masters are created. Two-dimensional renders of the ships are frequently used for the publication's illustrations by its editors in the UK, and each sixteen-page A5 format magazine (measuring 168 × 217 mm,  half the size of those of the preceding Official Starships Collection) fits within the printed cardboard boxes that the models are presented in.

The magazines are co-authored and co-edited by Ben Robinson, Marcus Riley, and Matt McAllister. Production stills, concept art, and newly-created orthographic views are utilized extensively, and new interviews with DIS starship designers including William Budge, Goran Delic, Ryan Dening, JD Dickenson, John Eaves, Sam Michlap, Thomas Pringle, and Scott Schneider were conducted. 

Some of the magazine content was published by Eaglemoss under the Hero Collector imprint, and was distributed by Penguin Random House in two hardcover mass-market reference books from the Star Trek: Shipyards series, within the Starfleet Ships 2151-2293 and The Klingon Fleet volumes. 

Also incorporating some of this material, the Star Trek: Discovery Designing Starships volume of the Designing Starships book series features every starship from Discoverys first season and was published in .

Transition to the Star Trek Universe: The Official Starships Collection
In July 2020, the company announced that this product line (and subscriptions) would be suspended after the release of (numbered) issue 33, due to production delays with the third season of the show and the resulting lack of new CG assets.

In October 2020, Eaglemoss further reported that it had plans to release more starship models from DIS in a future starships line, combined with ships from  and .

It was subsequently named the Star Trek Universe: The Official Starships Collection  which debuted in .  The company has revealed a number of forthcoming 32nd century Federation starship models from the third season of DIS for the new partwork, which supersedes this line.  Subscription services for the original line were terminated, and customers who wanted to continue with their collection had to take out a new subscription on the Universe collection.

Larger XL Edition models featuring starships from DIS will continue to be released within the Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection.

 Bonus Edition issues 
 USS Glenn 
The USS Glenn, the line's sole convention-exclusive registry variant model, was produced in a limited edition of 500 units (worldwide) and was available for purchase at the 2018 Official Star Trek Convention, New York Comic Con, and the Destination Star Trek Birmingham convention. Later in the year, a small number were also briefly made available to the public by Eaglemoss' UK and US webshops. Each ship was retailed with the USS Discoverys magazine and stand.

 ISS Shenzhou 
Initially available exclusively as a gift premium for subscribers, the ISS Shenzhou, a registry variant of the USS Shenzhou model, later became available as a retail product from Eaglemoss' webshops. A magazine was not included with the model. 

 Special Edition issues 
Considerably larger than the standard releases, Special Editions are also available to the general public from company webshops and other retailers, and are not automatically sent to subscribers.

Before it was released as a 215 mm-long model with issue 12 of this partwork (see above), a 259 mm-long "XL Edition" model of the USS Enterprise (as it was seen in DIS) debuted in the first starship collection. Larger XL Edition models of the USS Discovery and the USS Shenzhou were also released in that collection, and a refitted XL USS Discovery-A is planned.

 Magazine binders 

"Mini-binders" (measuring 167 × 244 × 45 mm) store ten of the magazines and are available to US subscribers but have not been retailed to the general public through the company's web-shops, despite the company's stated plans to do so at the partwork's debut.

One binder however, was provided as a free bonus gift with the third shipment to early subscribers, following the below-mentioned unexpected delays with the release of the first few starships and gift premiums.

Additional binders were also automatically sent to some European subscribers in 2020, close to the conclusion of the Collection's release in the region.

 Dedication plaques 
Scaled replicas of starship dedication plaque are cast from metallic resin and were previously distributed as gift premiums for US subscribers.

 Figure 
Originally released as a gift premium for US subscribers in February 2019, the company also distributes this scaled figure through its international webshops and other retailers.

 Gift premiums 
Gift premiums are provided to US subscribers at specific subscription milestones, and the models do not include companion magazines. As seen above, a number of these products are also available to the general public from Eaglemoss/Hero Collector webshops and other retailers. The enamel pins were previously released by FanSets.

 Background information 

 Determined to bring the collection to market while Discoverys first season was being streamed for the first time (and managing to do so with issue 1), the company faced challenges due to "(...)delays in receiving assets from the licensor and the subsequent impact on production schedules," according to the letter that early subscribers received with the second issue, informing them of a temporary suspension. Robinson tweeted on 19 February 2018, "Shenzhous are almost all shipped. It’s been a huge push to get them out this quickly. Discos will follow. Then a little break. We just couldn’t get them made any faster." 
 Translations of some Klingon language starship names appeared on a poster that was sent to subscribers: bortaS bir (Cold Revenge), Chargh (Conquer), etlh (Blade), Jach (Scream), Qaw (Destroy), Qoj (War), Qugh (Disaster), Sech (Torch), and Veqlargh (Demon).

 A render of the  appeared on the poster but was replaced in the collection by the USS Kerala, another  ship. Robinson and Eaves had not been able to confirm whether further intended modifications to the original studio model  had been made, prior to its on-screen appearance as the Gagarin. 
 In , the project manager announced that the , another  vessel, had replaced the  in the lineup.
On After Trek, the DIS companion series, prototype models of the collection's USS Discovery and USS Shenzhou were displayed as set decorations behind host Matt Mira, among other Star Trek memorabilia. 
 In 2018, Eaglemoss first partnered with Simon & Schuster for a US contest to cross-promote the Collection and the first three Discovery novels. 

 Unused Klingon designs 
Appearing in promotional materials, six more Klingon starship designs were identified as upcoming models but were not, in the end, released as issues of this partwork.

Regarding the prospective release of these ships in the Star Trek Universe: The Official Starships Collection partwork, Ben Robinson revealed, "The plan is definitely to do more. To be honest, these Klingon ships don’t sell brilliantly so we’ll work our way through the Picard, Disco and SNW ships first. Starfleet and lead ships sell better so are always the priority but with any luck we’ll circle back round."
