ESTEP-Class.	Behind The Scenes Of The ESTEP-Class.		ESTEP-Class.
Nick KALOTERAKIS produced these pictures for Popular Science. I was going to go with a Star Trek Federation-inspired design, but I saw this picture and I just fell in love with it.  Some ask with the heavily combat oriented fleet presented why I didn't go that direction with these; Because these are works of art for one thing; I just couldn't. (I know, it's not like me... I'm a bit worried too.)  Mr. KALOTERAKIS kindly allowed me to use the pics (as long as there's no profit for ME, which I am quite ok with) and he didn't SAY I had to include a link, but I am anyways; Kollected.com, and I hope this brings him some profit- Or lots of profit, I'm ok with that too.
The Name;  I took the name from a real USAF Doctor who treated me in 2003. Last I saw he was a Lt. Colonel, but he was a Major when he treated me.
