BACKGROUND:
After finishing "WreckDeck", I was unsure what my next TOS mapping project should be. Then Toonloon ask me if I would recreate the Cloaking Device room and a small section of corridor from the Romulan ship that appeared in the classic episode "The Enterprise Incident". These areas would be used to showcase his then new bot pak featuring the TOS Romulan characters. Afterwards, we both agreed that the few rooms I had created look very kool and decided to continue construction on the map.
This time however, I wanted a more accurate recreation of the sets used in the original episode, so I studied every reference picture I could find. Then one day I was fortunate enough to catch a rerun of the episode on the SciFi Channel and video taped it. At that point I was able to add even more detail, as well as layout the floorplan of the map to match the sets as they appeared in the original episode. Every location in the show has been faithfully reproduced to the best of my abilities, which is why is has taken so long for me to complete this project.
During this time-period of TOS, the Romulans had recently agreed to a technological exchange with the Klingon Empire. They gave the Klingons their cloaking technology in exchange for the Klingon's D7 BattleCruise designs. All other areas of the ship were designed by myself, and were based on many different Trek elements. Only the back wall of the bridge was shown in the episode however, so I based the rest of the design off of several Romulan and Klingon sets seen elsewhere in the Trek Universe. The Transporter Room is patterned after the one from the Star Trek VI movie. I based the Briefing Room and Turbolifts on the original ones used for the pilot episodes, remaining true to TOS producer's practice of reusing old sets and props.
Along with the excellent models and textures created by Toon, Doomer and Petri, this map marks the first custom shaders, textures and models created by myself. I also discovered lots of interesting stuff about the episode while researching it, such as the name of the Romulan FlagShip (Eidolon) and the female Romulan Commander's name (Tayva). These were revealed in a story written by Kathleen Dailey (1996) which details the event's immediately following the Commander's capture by Enterprise. This is a very well written story with some classic TOS moments, and I highly recommend the read (see PROMOS for link). Overall I am quite pleased with how this map turned out and hope everyone has a blast playing it.
Fight well, and may all your frags be Honorable!
