Background information 
 While Ben Robinson has been credited as a primary author of this book series, most of the writing and illustrative work was created by the Fact Files editorial staff for that publication, for which Robinson had served as one of its editors-in-chief. While not officially credited, Robinson acknowledged these staff contributions as well as his memory allowed, and included their names in the foreword/acknowledgements section of each book. Newer additional material originated from later GE Fabbri (the direct predecessor to Eaglemoss)-affiliated publications,  in particular, and for which Robert Bonchune had contributed much CG imagery.
 Robinson brought this series to fruition, feeling that there was an eagerness within the fanbase to access this material more easily, and offered, "The thing about the Fact Files, as you say, they’re massive and unwieldy and 18 binders long. I always wanted to take the best material from the Fact Files of those incredible illustrations and put it out in book form. Those illustrated handbooks are really the most thorough attempt to document the ships as they appeared upon screen with illustrations of pretty much every room that you saw on the screen." 
 On , Eaglemoss Collections released a promotional video to support the book's launch, showing off the CGI model of the Defiant and showcasing the book's content.  
 The concept for the book is very similar in nature to its 1998 predecessor, the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Technical Manual. Acutely aware of this, the authors richly and appropriately credited the Manual in the Acknowledgements on page 6, specifically mentioning the "massive debt" owed to it and its authors.
