Second officer’s log, stardate 4555.38. The archeological dig on this exoplanet has yielded an anomaly – a relic from the 21st century that defies easy explanation. It’s a children’s toy, a miniature representation of a Starfleet Galaxy-class starship, bearing an uncanny resemblance to our own vessel.
The model is remarkably preserved, approximately 60 centimeters in length. Constructed from 3,600 interlocking polymer bricks, it showcases a level of detail astonishing for its age and intended purpose. Transparent components form the engine nacelles, and the saucer and engineering sections are designed to separate.
Even more curious is the inclusion of nine miniature figures. They are crude approximations of the current senior staff, including a youthful Wesley Crusher. The sculptors of this era clearly prioritized accuracy, even capturing Captain Picard’s…distinctive hairline and Commander Riker’s fondness for a trombone.
These figures are disproportionately large compared to the ship itself, yet historical data suggests they were highly prized possessions. As an android, I am logically unaffected by the existence of a plastic effigy in my likeness, though the junior officers found the miniature representation of Spot, my feline companion, to be particularly endearing.
The mystery deepens with the artifact’s dating. It originates from approximately 300 years before the Enterprise D was even conceived at the Utopia Plentia shipyards. Recovered economic records indicate the set was released on November 28th, 2025, by a Denmark-based company known as LEGO, and retailed for $400 USD.
Interestingly, purchases made through the company’s networked retail system included a bonus item: a shuttlepod containing a figure of Ensign Ro Laren. The scale of this addition, however, remains inconsistent with the rest of the set, adding another layer to this perplexing discovery.
