EL-BAZ

According to Star Trek: The Next Generation TV Sci-Fi series the story of El-Baz was that is was a Federation type 15 shuttlepod that was in service with Starfleet in the mid-24th century, attached to the USS Enterprise-D. It was shuttlepod 05, and was equipped with impulse drive (sub-light speed) only.

 

In 2365, a duplicate of the El-Baz was found adrift in deep space by the Enterprise-D, with a duplicate Captain Jean-Luc Picard at the controls. Examination of the shuttle determined it came from several hours into the future and that it escaped the destruction of the Enterprise at the hands of a space-borne entity. The pod's circuitry had been moved out of phase relative to its time, requiring a special procedure to power it up taking this into account. The pod also contained the duplicate Picard's final log entry. The duplicates disappeared after the "present" Picard discovered a way to avert the ship's destruction. (TNG: "Time Squared")

 

Early in the next year, the El-Baz was listed on the shuttlebay operations display as being overhauled in Hangar 4. (TNG: "Evolution")

 

Late in 2366, the El-Baz was parked in the Enterprise's shuttlebay and under maintenance supervised by chief engineer Geordi La Forge. John Doe tried to escape the Enterprise by initiating the launch of the shuttlepod, but gave up his attempt after inadvertently killing then reviving Lieutenant Worf. (TNG: "Transfigurations")

 

In 2369, the El-Baz was stolen by Lieutenant Commander Data and a Borg drone named Crosis. Crosis reconfigured the shuttle to open a transwarp conduit, and the shuttle was taken to a planet containing a compound of Lore's Borg. The abandoned El-Baz was discovered by an Enterprise away team, and used as a command post for search teams attempting to locate Data. (TNG: "Descent", "Descent, Part II")

 

El-Baz was the first type 15 shuttlepod seen on Star Trek: The Next Generation.

 

This was being exhibited at Star Trek: The Exhibition, on Blackpool's Golden Mile (or Promenade) which tells the story of the intergalactic drama, that almost stalled after three series after cosmic rival Star Wars came along.

 

Costumes, scripts, and props from the desks of Star Trek's leading pilots all feature, as well as this reconstructions of the USS Enterprise bridge there is its famous transporter for the ultimate photo opportunity.
