This fully illustrated Star Trek: The Official Starships magazine covers the United Earth Arctic One. This United Earth Arctic One-type transport was in service in the mid-22nd century. During an exploration of Earth's Arctic Circle, its crew discovered a crash-landed Borg vessel and were assimilated by drones who took command of the ship and tried to pilot it back to the Delta Quadrant. The Arctic One was a specialized research ship used in extreme cold-weather environments. In appearance, the 80-meter long vessel resembled a huge snowmobile and was fitted with three landing skis, which allowed it to set down on snowy ground.
