Overview:

Eight-part feature, spending time with Prodigy prop designer Jack Rossi and concept artist Gus Mendonça as they run through some of the primary props and devices found around the USS Protostar. The discussions range from adding necessary detailing to the mess hall replicators, bridging the look of Starfleet technology to its most recent in-universe designs (in Star Trek: Voyager), how the ship’s Vehicle Replicator serves as a lesson learned from the USS Voyager’s seemingly-endless collection of shuttlecraft, and that the inspiration for the Runaway off-road-vehicle design came from Mendonça’s dog.
