Describe the concept of Deep Space 9 in terms of the way it was designed.

Very!subhead : How cool are the space ships? body : These are some of the ships from the show. And The Enterprise, of course, is great - But one of my favourites is the Klingon bird of prey. The original model was made for the original Star Trek series features by Industrial Light and Magic, and it�s one of the most beautifully crafted models with metal parts and mechanical wings and it was always a pleasure to shoot it.

It�s got a very predatory quality which goes with bird of prey, so it has enough zoomorphism about it to conform to the name and the Klingon culture, but yet it also just looks like a really nasty aggressive ship.
