STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE (1993-1999) - Michael and Denise Okuda Collection: Runabout Navigation LCARS Panel with Cast Member Easter Eggs - A runabout navigation LCARS panel from Rick Berman's and Michael Piller's television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Designed by production and art design crew members Herman F. Zimmerman, Rick Sternbach, and Jim Martin, Danube-class runabouts were used by the DS9 crew to travel abroad of the space station throughout the series, beginning with its premiere episode "Emissary."

This lot comes from the collection of celebrated Star Trek franchise artists and advisors Michael and Denise Okuda. Designed to appear illuminated when backlit, this black acrylic navigation console panel features a sheet of graphics labeled "Navigational" and "Flight Control" with simulated yellow, brown, orange, and purple touch-screen buttons in the series' LCARS style taped to the back. The center buttons are labeled with abbreviated cast members' names such as "AV BRK" for Avery Brooks, "TE FAR" for Terry Farrell, and "AR SHIM" for Armin Shimerman as Easter Eggs for viewers. The front top corner is hand-marked "Replace" by production. Dimensions: 37" x 19" x 1.5" (94 cm x 48.25 cm x 4 cm)Though their long and celebrated careers in the Star Trek world began in features, Michael and Denise Okuda established themselves as franchise legends while working on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Michael became art supervisor on TNG, while Denise came on as a scenic artist during Deep Space Nine, roles they would continue to perform through Voyager, Enterprise, and the Next Generation films. Married in 1993, the Okudas are known as the driving forces behind the development of many of the now-iconic 24th-century technologies seen throughout the series, including the famous "Okudagrams" they created for the LCARS (Library Computer Access and Retrieval System) interfaces . Propstore is proud to present a selection of key memorabilia from the personal collection of one of the franchise's most important creative teams to the public for the first time.
