Fingerprint: Star Trek Next Generation electro-mechanical, giant blue iris with radiating pale segments surrounded by round word-targets, grey-uniformed captain and disembodied hand reaching up, tan citadel towers under purple sky, two silver rocket-bumpers with painted grinning alien faces, superpat crest on apron
The centre of the playfield is a giant blue iris made of radiating pale-blue segments, ringed by round word-targets such as SHIELDS DOWN, OXYGEN DEGRADED and CENTRAL DOCKING, like an eye staring up the table. Around it, a painted grey-uniformed captain figure with dark hair appears waist-up beside a disembodied hand reaching up. The upper playfield is a tan Greco-Roman citadel of towers and battlements in a purple sky, threaded by looping chrome wire orbits. Two chunky silver rocket-shaped bumpers with painted grinning alien faces guard the lower playfield. A big SUPERPAT crest with a winged starburst dominates the lower centre apron, flanked by STAR TREK / THE NEXT GENERATION and GALAXY CLASS PINBALL logos.

Full playfield of a space-opera themed electro-mechanical game, shot from above with the lower apron visible. The upper third is a painted Greco-Roman style citadel of tan and cream towers and battlements under a purple-pink sky, crossed by polished steel wire ramps and looped orbits, with a red glowing bumper cluster and small playing-card artwork near the top left. The middle is dominated by a huge circular blue iris or eye motif - a ring of pale blue radiating segments with round labelled targets set around it (SHIELDS DOWN, RESCUE, SPARE PART, OXYGEN DEGRADED, CENTRAL DOCKING, WORMS) and a chrome-rimmed hub. Below it sits a red rectangular drop-target reading GET YOUR THROAT. Lower playfield has two large silver rocket-shaped bumpers painted with grinning alien faces, two blue triangular flippers, and sweeping chrome rails labelled MULTIPLAYER LIGHT (2/4P) BALL. Lower-left and lower-right aprons carry curved STAR TREK / THE NEXT GENERATION logos and GALAXY CLASS PINBALL beside a line-drawn starship, with a large SUPERPAT crest centred on the apron and a cast portrait panel at lower right.

A wide cinematic backglass poster with a deep purple and magenta nebula full of white stars. Two large pale grey angular starships dominate the upper left, one beaming blue tractor-beam light down onto a grey saucer-shaped vessel at the left edge; two green ships at the upper right fly past a bright orange-red starburst explosion, with a smaller green craft below them. A shadowy pale alien face with pointed ears and dark eyes floats in the nebula at top centre. Across the lower half is a row of seven painted figures in dark, gold and blue uniforms: a dark-skinned man with a silver visor, a curly-haired brunette woman in a blue-violet low-cut top with a delta badge, a bearded man, a man in a gold uniform, a red-haired woman, a huge bald head-and-shoulders of a middle-aged man in a black uniform with gold collar pips, and at the far right a ridged-forehead alien man in chainmail raising a dark bat-like club. The title STAR TREK in big italic cyan-blue block letters sits over a red-to-black gradient band, with THE NEXT GENERATION beneath and a small silver delta-wing star emblem between the words.
