And here's the USS Fortitude, NCC-3138 - lead ship of the Fortitude Class.
She's designed as a Heavy Cruiser Testbed. In this configuration, she's trial-running the Type-1 phaser-strip prototype - other ships of the class received more standardized (at the time) phaser blisters, while testing different scales and layouts of warp drives.
She's chunky.

Thanks to Joshua Dworkin for the commission and design!

As always this is rendered in 3DSMax 2024.2, using VRay 6 GPU Optix. I'm using two 4090 RTX rigs - each did half the frames. Render time averages were 1m05s to 1m25s at 110% 4K rez, with about 1-2s for post effects application per frame. It's 1440 frames long at 24fps,
Post in After Effects, using Sapphire by BorisFX for the lens flares, and Red Giant Looks for the color correction.
