The Nausicaans were often referred to in STAR TREK - it was a Nausicaan who stabbed the young Picard through the heart – but we only got to see their ships in the first season of ENTERPRISE when Nausicaan pirates attacked the E.C.S. Fortunate. The ships were designed by John Eaves who was inspired by the shape of a manta ray. The model is just over 4" (10.5 cm) long.
