Like in the Motion Picture it was to be the Enterprise after an extensive refit. The show was actually slated to launch Paramount's own network which wouldn't happen until the 1990s with the premier of Star Trek Voyager. <br /> After seeing the success of Star Wars, Paramount decided to halt the new television series and invest a great deal more into it to make a feature film. <br />The original model of the refit Enterprise was much closer to the original television series than the film version but having been built for television, it lacked the detail and sense of mass that would be needed on the big screen. <br /> I don't believe more than one large filming miniature for Phase 2 was ever completed, so if several of these are around they may be fiberglass copies. Though I find it odd they would do that.. <br /><br /> An interesting note about both the Phase 2 refit Enterprise and The Motion Picture version is rage even though it represented a more advanced and updated ship, most of the design elements including the swept back engine pylons, rectangular nacelles and dorsal affixed torpedo structure had been some of designer Matt Jeffries original idea concepts before the final design of the ship that was seen in the original series was decided upon. Much of which may have been because it was easier and less expensive to construct and less fragile to handle.
