 The second design concept was similar to the Akira @-@ class starship as seen on television in the Star Trek : Deep Space Nine and Voyager era , with the producers initially intending to use that class of vessel for Enterprise before Herman Zimmerman convinced them to go with a design with greater inspiration from The Original Series . The Akira itself had been created by Alex Jaeger for the 1996 film Star Trek : First Contact with influences from the Battlestar Galactica , the Klingon Bird of Prey and the Miranda @-@ class starship originally seen in Star Trek II : The Wrath of Khan . A similar design was created for Star Trek : The Academy Years , a film proposed by Harve Bennett in 1989 . This featured the primary hull of the Enterprise seen in The Original Series , but without a secondary hull .
