The film opens by taking viewers to the spring of 1921 where planes sink battleships as part of the agreement to cease battleship production following World War I. Navy, the late-1960s film The American Dreadnought gives viewers a brief history of the American battleship USS New Jersey and a solid background of this class of ship. The game Star Trek: Tactical Assault also featured a variant of this class as a "Federation Dreadnought".Written by historian Richard Hough and presented by the U.S. The novel Dreadnought! by Diane Carey also featured a vessel of similar design, the USS Star Empire. The Federation-class was included in the Star Fleet Battles series because the company was allowed to use material from the original series and the Technical Manual only. The Technical Manual listed the USS Federation as being the prototype of the class. USS Star Empire on the cover of Dreadnought! The Federation-class on the reprinted cover of the Star Fleet Technical Manual Somewhat enigmatically though, Picard production designer Dave Blass answered with a curt and unclarified "no" to an in the meantime deleted inquiry on his Twitter account whether or not the three-nacelled shipmodels were indeed Federation-class. As Matalas' pictured showed, there were least four Federation-class models thus modified on set. A crisp behind-the-scenes bar set picture was posted by showrunner Terry Matalas on his Twitter account, and where the models were more clearly discernible as set dressings. The Federation-class models were modifications of the Collection's original configuration Constitution-class models by adding a third nacelle on top of the primary hull.
These models originated from Eaglemoss Collections' Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection partwork series (identifiable by their very distinctive model stands), some of them modified such as the gold-plated ones in the left display case on the bar counter. It took four decades before another – more clearly and far less ephemeral this time – in-universe canon reference became featured in a Star Trek live-action production with the appearance of the display models on Guinan's bar counter in the third season opening episode of Star Trek: Picard. At one point, a diagram of a Constitution-class starship (pictured above) also depicts a barely visible outline above it - which the Star Fleet Technical Manual shows to be the Federation-class. The bridge monitors in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek III: The Search for Spock made use of a cycling video depicting whole pages from the Star Trek Star Fleet Technical Manual by Franz Joseph.
