" Star Trek " creator Gene Roddenberry dictated the design of the U.S. Enterprise in 1966 .

The original Enterprise was designed by Matt Jeffries , who also designed the Enterprise's bridge, sickbay, and other details.

Jeffries' Enterprise design was dictated by the show's creator, who wanted two engines held out from the central hull.

The Enterprise's warp nacelles are usually "capped" at the front with red rocket tips.

Bussard ramscoops are designed to collect and store cosmic particles that a starship would inevitably run into in deep space.

The warp engines, by Roddenberry 's mandate, need to be unobstructed by other parts of the ship.

Sternbach and Okuda 's " Technical Manual " points out that starships use a magical device called inertial dampeners to make sure the crew isn't pinned to the back wall.

The saucers of most starships sport red, glowing engines on the back, used for when a ship needs to travel at sub-warp speeds.
