Star Trek: The Next Generation tile set
                      By Clyde Massey-Ford

        I'm not going to bore you with all that nonsense
about this being my first tile set. All I'm going to 
say is that I am a super serious "Trekkie." I have an 
extreme interest in anything that has to do with Star Trek. 
I have had fun using other Star Trek tile sets and decided 
to try my hand at creating one. I had a lot of fun doing 
this set! 
        For those of you deprived individuals who don't 
follow Star Trek as regularly as the rest of us 
"Enlightened" people, an explanation of each tile follows.
        Oh, by the way, in case my last name sounds slightly
familiar, it's because Steve and Charlotte Massey-Crouch, the 
creaters of the MESSIAH tile sets, are my parents.


 1- Star Trek The Next Generation logo (seen on all 
    official Star Trek products).

    modified photon torpedo casing) (it's a highly 
    technical thing that does a lot of neat stuff)

    it go bye-bye)

    day computer disks)
