    I consider the Constellation's registry
    NCC-1017 an error, as 
    it was a 
    simple rearrangement of the decal sheet from the AMT Enterprise model kit, 
    done by people who had obviously no clue about Matt Jefferies's registry 
    scheme.

    Defiant to search for survivors in adjacent star systems. DS9 Waltz.The first Constellation-class ship seen, 
    the Stargazer, was originally planned to be a Constitution-class ship, 
    allowing the visual effects staff to make use of the existing movie 
    Enterprise model. The producers did not make the decision to build a new 
    model for the Stargazer until after the episode was filmed with LeVar Burton 
    calling it a Constitution-class ship. The choice of the name Constellation 
    was based largely on the fact that it could be dubbed over Geordi's line 
    since the two words are so similar. The 
    Constellation-class was designed by Andrew Probert.
