The script called for the creation of the "Enterprise"-C. In the first season, illustrator Andrew Probert – who had designed the "Enterprise"-D – was interested in a display of the design lineage of the ship from James T. Kirk's "Enterprise" to "The Next Generation"s much larger ship, which was realized as a wall relief in the conference lounge behind the command bridge. Like most others, Probert assumed that the "Enterprise"-B was an "Excelsior"-class vessel and reasoned that the "C" would share design elements with its "Excelsior"-class predecessor and its "Galaxy"-class successor, Picard's ship. During this lineage project, Probert also produced a small color sketch of his version of "Enterprise"-C, but he left at the end of the season and his absence meant that no one knew what the drawing was intended to be.
