Antares has always had a special place to me with its weird pseudo-pelican looking design. So many of the old TOS designs had really distinct profiles that still stand out today.
I to have liked these 2 classes of cargo ships and have the Eaglemoss model of the Antares and have 3 various resin kits of these two as well, But the only place you get to see these on screen is in the animated series and in various episodes of Startrek shows on Utube!,🖖.
Man, I love your narrative on these ships. I do have to admit that I get starstruck by the Ships of the Line but going over ships like these really adds to the 'lived in' feel of the universe. I think that is why I love the character of Harry Mudd so much is that he is proof that more than Starfleet exists in the show. Thank you!
I often times forget about all these other types of ships that keep the federation going, so I love the break from ships of the line to explore them :)
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics - Same here, man. Making a story that covers these ships is just too much fun and it's like watching a Trek in my head when I watch these. In the real world, I know of a few fishing trawlers, marine bio-ships, and a number of others that have taken on medical supplies to deliver to hurricane-struck areas. Those crews will never be on the news but the folks that get those supplies will always be grateful. That's what these videos remind me of.
Awesome video on the workhorses of the Fleet these are the ships that kept the federation running Honestly the Flagship of the Federation is not going to be used to transport a cargo hold full of Dipers for Denova but a dedicated Transport Cargo Vessal will be carring things like that and up to diterium and Dilithium as well =)
I actually really like the Antares. The Huron... It would actually be okay if it weren't for all those bits that are stuck on to the ship. Especially those long diagonal outriggers. Also I think the ship would look better if it were flipped horizontally, with the vertical structure at the front of the ship.
Very nice. I was just thinking about these. Honestly, I began to doubt the Huron series was even related to Star Trek. I seem to recall the Antares series in The Animated Series. Maybe even in a remastered TOS episode, perhaps as Harry Mudd's ship.
Bothe the Huron and Antares class ships appeared in TAS. When they remastered TOS they inserted an Antares class class ship in the episode "The Ultimate Computer."
Talk about ugly ducklings, but functionality trumps beauty. I like the asthetic of the Antares more than the Huron. Just can't get behind the pylon impulse engines, seems too big of a vulnerability.
" Captain, that automated cargo ship was the Wodin , no crew on board." "Great news Spock, M 5 didn't claim any lives., I wonder what was in it?." ( I don't know., you fill in the blank.)
Cargo ships could have hidden rooms, hallways. Used as headquarters for section 31. Secret transporters, rooms, medical living areas etc, secret scote, and warp cable 2 man shuttels, land commands, probes, ships. Combat warp capable fighters with multiple phasers arrys. Anti mater equiped missile's. If the upgared section 31 romulian camafuge holographic sytem was added to the vessel. A kilion battel ship is less likely to attached in kliion space, and so on.
The antaries is from TAS. More Tribbles More Troubles. It was the automated grain ship. The class name and command section was added for TOS-R for the Episode Charlie X .
Honestly I like the Discovery-era designs a lot. They're a transition between the greebles of the Enterprise era but with the shapes of the TOS-era. It also makes the TOS era aesthetic more interesting in retrospect, because it provides a sort of feeling of maturity, with utilitarian designs being converted into something designed to look like a work of art (though I personally don't love the design language star trek has for most of its ships, I can at least appreciate it).
Your analysis of the state of Starfleet after the war is spot on, but I don't think it was the aesthetics of the Constitution class the drove the similar looking ships of the fleet, only the fact that the remaining infrastructure was already geared to making parts for that class and it was simpler to rearrange those parts to build the ship class's they needed rather than tool up new manufacturing as they later did for the Excelsior and Ambassador classes.
Ok while ia can SEE the need for cargo vessels, why the eff did they have them to built them so ILLOGICAL? Just take a box, weld some warpnacelles onto it and be done! It's freaking outer space - they don't need to go in atmo or stuff, they should be the equivalent to containerships of the 21st century: Big, boxy and hauling a shitload! They aren't the Sprinter-van of the 22nd/23rd century, that would be a shuttle!
Whilst I do like the quirky designs of Antares and Huron, I do also see where you're coming from. It would truly make much more sense if the cargo vessels were designed as, for example, the "boxy" Holoship from ST: Insurrection.
I'd kind of like to see a Truth or Myth on the New Orleans class, unless you already have and I somehow missed it. Such and oddball ship that just aesthetically works for me.
🖖😎👍Very cool and very nicely well done and very well executed and informatively explained in every detail way shape and form on this subject matter and format provided to you on and about the Antares and Huron class cargo class vessel's, And I myself own the Eaglemoss model of the Antares and have 3 different resin kits on these 2 vessel's that I never built yet, And the only place you really get to see these is in the TOS universe is in the animated series and on the various Startrek shows on Utube!,👌.
LOL In real life Im a graphic Designer and co own a company that specializes in creating graphical assets for other peoples applications. So when we started that business, we set up a grand Server to store all our information for years on end... Thus enough Space to last a life time ;)
Can someone please clarify something for me: do the nacelles propel the ship at warp speeds, or do they simply generate the warp field, which allows the vessel to travel faster than light, with said vessel requiring a separate source of thrust, (such as impulse engines). Thanks!
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics Yeah I try to watch all your stuff when it comes out and just don't have the time. Some day I'll go back through the catalogue.
I would like to thank you, thank you. I was going to request a episode on these very automated cargo Vessels. In the 22nd episode of season 2 of Star Trek The Original series there is a episode called by any other name, in that episode a small group of aliens from the Andromeda galaxy take over the Enterprise, if my memory serves me well at the conclusion of that episode Starfleet says they will send a Automated ship to the Andromeda Galaxy, please could you do a episode on that plus I doubt a automated ship would make it less than 1000 ly without failure as we see ships like voyager start to malfunction when the crew are not on the ship, Voyager episode called one, the crew had to go into stasis but voyager starts to malfunction, also Voyager episode Workforce this time though crew abandon ship because of radiation and subsequently taken as workforce.
Bear in mind that voyager was not designed for long term operation without maintenance, and ever notice how the things that tend to break down are things that often are to do with the well being of beings on board…a purely robotic drone wou,d by default have less things to go wrong Doesn’t mean things wouldn’t go wrong…but to quote Scotty “the more they overdo the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain”
The Antares and Huron classes, for those Starfleet classes that were not good enough for a starship, but not bad enough to get kicked out of Starfleet.
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics Even Dr. McCoy; at the end of Star Trek: The Voyage Home, thought they were going to be assigned to one of these ships. But instead, something worst. :P
Awww but that could be a reflecting on the mission profile they were getting, rather then the starship design ;) Admit it, you LOVE them! I can tell ;) :P
Okay, I'm in my 50's and have watched Star Trek all my life. There's never a mention of a war with the Klingon and Federation in the 23rd century , the only war stated was with the Romulans. The only war with the Klingons was in the 24th century in Deep Space 9.
Im sorry, but you're incorrect... First there was 2 wars in the 23rd Century... The first is shown in DSC while the second is shown in the TOS episode Errand of Mercy... So Im not exactly sure how you missed that... But both ARE canon!
@@vincehall9350 It doesnt matter what you count, it's canon so that's that. As canon is not a matter of opinion, it is a matter of fact. And that doesnt explain how you missed the entire storyline of Errand of Mercy!
The big ship acts more like a locomotive it will fly forward into a bunch of cargo pods attaching the front to the cargo pods using the special engines and it can actually warp backwards
Antares has always had a special place to me with its weird pseudo-pelican looking design. So many of the old TOS designs had really distinct profiles that still stand out today.
I see how the federation won then!!!! Blue team and the master chief saved the day!!!! *AGAIN*
Spartans never die!!!!
Is this also shadowing another shrek sequal

These ships certainly look a lot better than the Millennium Falcon or the Battlestar Galactica!
I really like your well-thought, well-written fanfiction
Thank you so much :)
Definitely an odd and fragile-looking impulse drive arrangement on that Huron. Maybe some kind of maneuvering nozzles?
"What should we do with all these extra sprues?"
"I dunno, maybe stick them all over the Huron?"
A certain rogue captain/thief could steal one. That would make for an interesting show for Strane New Worlds. Ijs
You never know :)
Like your Truth OR Myth BETA- The Antares And Huron Classes.
Thank you Dominik!
Many don't realize how many different types of vessels are necessary for the health and well-being of a fleet.
Exactly why I made the video :)
Look at the US Navy the fleet Starfleet is based on. They have combat and logistics classes.
As always, filling the history of Star Trek with this videos, excellent!!!
Glad you like them Cesar :)
Love these ships
Me too! :)
Great video:) People forget about these tough little ships:)
I know, right? And I love to remind them all ;) :P
Considering how enormous our cargo ships are, I think these ships look a little bit small. But I do love your videos.
I guess they're more like delivery vans.
The rearpart of the Antares seem like large cargo pods could be attached there.

I had never seen the Huron before but of course I knew about the Antares. Thanks for the info! 👍
On screen Huron was only seen in the

"The Pirates of Orion.

Anti “mother” equipped missiles?! What do you have against mothers?! 😁
at some point in the future someone will create "Triangulum Studios Canon" for starships.
And they don't look kinda small for a cargo ship?
LOL Tri-Canon has a nice ring to it ;) :P

good video do you do lore of the Jackill's star fleet reference manual if so could you do the Kodiak Class?
These are the Voyages of the U.S.S. Esses
I cant get over the pilon impulse things.
I think more cargo ships should be detailed when you have the time
The Antares class doesn’t sound big enough to carry much cargo at all. Would it really have been worth it?
Guess neither class was worthy of being put in the museum.
Usually the classes that keep things going arent :P
