STAR TREK: VOYAGER (1995-2001) - Michael and Denise Okuda Collection: Back-Up USS Voyager Dedication Plaque - A back-up USS Voyager dedication plaque from the production of the television series Star Trek: Voyager. In the Season 6 episode "Equinox, Part II," after Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) found the Voyager's dedication plaque amongst the rubble on the damaged bridge, Chakotay (Robert Beltran) suggested it go back to its original place.

This lot comes from the collection of celebrated Star Trek franchise artists and advisors Michael and Denise Okuda. Created by production as a back-up for the version used onscreen, this hand-painted, etched polymer plaque displays the name of the ship, its class, the shipyard of origin, and the ship's official motto "For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see; Saw the Vision of the World, and all the wonder that would be. . ." by English poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson. It also features many notable Starfleet officers, which consists of notable production staff members and Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry listed as "Chief of Staff." The back remains unfinished. This lot exhibits mild chipping on the edges. Dimensions: 14" x 10" x 0.25" (35.5 cm x 25.5 cm x 0.75 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.
