A light-up Bajoran interceptor miniature model from sci-fi TV series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Miniature models were used for the Bajoran ships, which first appeared in the Season 2 episode "The Siege", when two interceptors attacked the ship being flown by Commander Kira Nerys (Nana Visitor) and Lieutenant Jadzia Dax (Terry Farrell). The Starfleet officers managed to destroy one of the Interceptors before sustaining critical damage and crash landing. Models were later used in the Season 3 episode "Through The Looking Glass" and for cutaway footage of ships flying around DS9 in later seasons.

The model is made of plastic and hand-painted to look as detailed and realistic as possible. It is predominantly decorated in shades of grey with bronze detailing, in keeping with the Bajoran aesthetic. It features 'rust' markings and other examples of intentional distress, giving it the appearance of being well used and battle worn.

When connected to mains power via a D-sub 9-pin connector, the lights within the model illuminate, lighting up the cockpit, windows and engines, as well as lights on the wing tips and the top of the ship.

The miniature sits on a custom-made metal stand on a black wooden base. The stand is a fixed to a production-made filming mounting point, which can be hidden with an extra piece when not on the stand. There is a second hidden mounting point in the tail. It has some wear from production use and age, including a small repair to the left wing. Dimensions: 45 cm x 68 cm x 25 cm (17 3/4" x 26 3/4" x 9 3/4")



ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Interceptors were lightly armed craft with two phaser emitters, used by the Bajoran Militia in the defense of Bajor. They were often utilised in the orbit of the planet but, as in "The Siege", could also fly within the atmosphere.
