Background
- The Cardenas-class was identified via the USS Yeager by designer John Eaves. Eaves also named the class, which was later confirmed after being revealed on StarTrek.com.
- The class was named after US Air Force brigadier general Robert Cardenas, who piloted the B-29 plane that launched Chuck Yeager's first manned supersonic flight aboard a Bell X-1. (Star Trek: Discovery The Official Starships Collection: USS Buran, "Designing The Cardenas Class", pg. 14)
- Eaglemoss Collections released the USS Buran model as part of the Star Trek: Discovery The Official Starships Collection in October of 2018, which lists the ship as 441 meters in length. The article was republished in Star Trek: Discovery Designing Starships in September of 2019.
