Background

The Norway-class starship was one of four CGI models constructed by Alex Jaeger for Star Trek: First Contact. A single image of the CGI rendering can be seen in Star Trek: The Next Generation Sketchbook: The Movies.

Since First Contact, the class never appeared on screen as a model, but has appeared on display images appearing in DS9 and VOY.

One of the apparent factors for the model of the Norway not appearing in later productions following First Contact, according to DS9 Visual Effects Supervisor David Stipes at the conclusion of DS9 Season 6, was that "the Norway needs to be resurfaced and modified," further stating that it "may be done on later episodes." [2]

Apparently this was never completed, and, as rumor has it, the CGI file for the Norway was lost or corrupted, making First Contact the only CG appearance of this design. [3] [4]
