This view of the Enterprise-D shows the graceful lines of the class
This shot of the Enterprise-D in orbit about Farpoint station shows
the
Stardrive section only. Although saucer separation was planned to be
a relatively
normal part of the life of a Galaxy class, in serivce it is employed
only rarely.
The saucer section of the Enterprise-D plunges to its doom on Veridian
III.
The pride of the class was partly maintained by the fact
that not a single fatality resulted from this crash-landing.
