I.K.S. Amar (2271)

The I.K.S. Amar was a Klingon K't'inga class battle cruiser in service with the Klingon Imperial Fleet in the late 23rd century. In 2271, the Amar was destroyed with two other K't'inga class cruisers while investigating the V'ger machine life-form as it traveled through Quad L-14 of Klingon space.

I.K.S Amar Bridge | Decks 2 & 3 (2271)

The main bridge of the I.K.S. Amar was located across two decks at the top portion of the forward section of the vessel.  Located in the front of the bridge, against the forward bulkhead, was the ship’s main viewscreen.  Directly behind the viewscreen on a raised platform was the command chair, which could swivel 360 degrees, allowing the commander to visually monitor all bridge operations.  Directly behind the command chair was the navigation console, and at the rear of the bridge were two pivoting weapons targeting stations.  On the port and starboard sides of the bridge were connecting rooms which contained additional control consoles and doorways which provided access to the rest of the ship.  An upper level of the bridge, accessed by small port and starboard lifts, contained additional control consoles and viewports which looked out onto the ship’s hull and the space beyond.

Production Notes:

Ship Model (Physical)

As portrayed in Star Trek: The Motion Picture (Film, 1979)

The new Klingon battle cruiser was closely based on the original battle cruiser designed by Matt Jefferies for the original Star Trek television series.  The new version, built by Magicam and at Future General, incorporated much more elaborate surface detailing for a more realistic look.  The commander of the Amar was played by Mark Lenard, who also played Spock’s father, Sarek, and had been the Romulan commander in “Balance of Terror”.

Bridge Set (Physical)

As portrayed in Star Trek: The Motion Picture (Film, 1979)

The bridge of the Klingon battle cruiser was designed by production illustrator Andrew Probert under the guidance of special photographic effects director Douglas Trumbull, who felt the bridge should look like “an enemy submarine in World War II that’s been out at sea for too long.”  The set was constructed under the leadership of art director John Vallone, who introduced both fiber optics and edge-lit plastic displays which featured readouts by graphic designer Lee Cole.  The dark and grimy atmosphere of the Klingon battle cruiser bridge set was meant to contrast the sleek and clean designs of the Enterprise interiors seen elsewhere in the film and would go on to set the tone for many of the later Klingon ship interiors seen in subsequent Star Trek productions.

The set would be heavily redressed to serve as the U.S.S. Enterprise torpedo bay in the next two films, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.  Also in the third film, the set would be additionally redressed with the aft half serving as the bridge of Kruge’s Klingon Bird-of-Prey and the front half serving as the bridge of the merchant ship.
