This fully illustrated Star Trek: The Official Starships magazine covers the Alice Shuttlecraft. In early 2376, this small, unassuming spacecraft was acquired by Ensign Tom Paris from a space station called Abaddon’s Repository of Lost Treasures. Before Paris bought the ship, Abaddon had originally bought it from a Haakonian trader. He had tried turning the ship into a towing vessel but later realized it was too much work since it needed constant repair. The alien ship caught the Lieutenant's eye, as he remarked "it's a work of art. That ship wasn't assembled, it was sculpted." The cost in trade was Paris’ jukebox and three of the U.S.S. Voyager NCC-74656’s used power cells. Paris named the ship ‘Alice’ after an attractive woman called Alice Battisti, whom he had known at Starfleet Academy. Behind its conventional looks was some unique technology, which included a neurogenic interface. This allowed the ship to control the pilot, and even appears before him in a seductive humanoid form.
