STAR TREK: INSURRECTION (1998) - Michael and Denise Okuda Collection: Captain Jean-Luc Picard's (Patrick Stewart) "Cousteau" Yacht Dedication Plaque - Captain Jean-Luc Picard's (Patrick Stewart) "Cousteau" yacht dedication plaque from the production of Jonathan Frakes' Star Trek: Insurrection. Captain Picard and his senior staff took the captain's yacht, Cousteau, to the Ba'ku planet to thwart the Son'a's plans to forcibly relocate the peoples.

This lot comes from the collection of celebrated Star Trek franchise artists and advisors Michael and Denise Okuda. This hand-painted and etched polymer plaque displays the name of the ship, the Starfleet ship it is attached to and its class, the captain, and the ship's official motto "The future is in the hands of those who explore.. and from all the beauty they discover while crossing perpetually receding frontiers, they develop for nature and for humankind an infinite love" by Captain Jacques-Yves Cousteau. The back remains unfinished. This lot exhibits mild chipping on the edges, discoloration, and scuffing on the back. Dimensions: 9.75" x 6" x 0.25" (24.75 cm x 15.25 cm x 0.5 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.
