STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE SPACE STATION
WITH MARBEL BASE & NUMBERED NAME PLATE.
THIS BEAUTIFUL PEWTER PIECE, DESIGNED BY MARK SCHWABE, STANDS AT AN INCREDIBLE 10" TALL, ANOTHER 10" WIDE AND HAS
A UNIQUE INDIVIDUAL SERIAL NUMBER OF: 578/4500
IMPORTANT THINGS OF NOTE:
- I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE PIECE. IT HAS BEEN WELL CARED FOR OVER THE YEARS.
- 2 OF THE CROSSOVER BRIDGES FROM THE OUTER PYLONS TO THE HABITAT RING HAVE BECOME SLIGHTLY WARPED OVER THE YEARS.
- TWO OF THE LOWER PYLONS ARE SLIGHTLY SHORTER THAN THE THIRD LOWER PYLON. THIS WAS DONE SO THE STATION COULD HAVE A SLIGHT SLANT ON THE BASE. DRAMATIC EFFECT MOST LIKELY. (IT WORKED)
- THE BASE IS MADE ENTIRELY OF MARBLE AND WEIGHS A RIDICULOUS 2 LBS 8.6 OUNCES! THE STATION ITSELF WEIGHS 1 LB 14.7 OUNCES. COMBINED, WE'RE 5 OUNCES UNDER 5 POUNDS! NOW YOU UNDERSTAND WHY SHIPPING IS SO MUCH!
- ONLY 4,500 OF THE DEEP SPACE NINE STATION WERE MADE, MAKING THIS A RARE ITEM TO COME ACROSS.
- INSURANCE IS REQUIRED FOR THIS PURCHASE. THOSE ADDITIONAL COSTS HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE SHIPPING TOTAL.
- WHEN YOU'RE UNPACKING THE SHIPPING BOX, PLEASE DO SO SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY. I WILL BE GOING TO GREAT LENGTHS TO ENSURE THIS PIECE IS PACKED AS SECURELY AND SAFELY AS POSSIBLE TO ENSURE NO DAMAGE DURING TRANSIT.
A BRIEF HISTORY OF DEEP SPACE NINE:
DEEP SPACE NINE, ORIGINALLY KNOWN AS TEROK NOR, WAS ONE OF THE MOST HISTORICALLY, POLITICALLY AND STRATEGICALLY IMPORTANT SPACE STATIONS IN THE ALPHA QUADRANT DURING THE LATTER HALF OF THE 24
TH
CENTURY. THE SPACE STATION WAS CONSTRUCTED BY BAJORAN SLAVE LABOR OVERSEEN BY THE CARDASSIANS IN ORBIT OF BAJOR DURING THE OCCUPATION OF THE PLANET. NOW UNDER FEDERATION ADMINISTRATION FOLLOWING THE CARDASSIAN WITHDRAWL, THE STATION WAS RELOCATED INTO THE BAJORAN SYSTEM’S DENORIOS BELT. THERE, DS9 BECAME A VITAL COMMERICAL PORT AND DEFENSIVE OUTPOST DUE TO ITS LOCATION NEAR THE MOUTH OF THE ONLY KNOWN STABLE WORMHOLE TO THE GAMMA QUADRANT. DEEP SPACE NINE LATER BECAME A KEY STRATEGIC LOCATION DURING THE DOMINION WAR FOR BOTH THE DOMINION AND THE FEDERATION ALLIANCE.
