The next bonus edition of the Star Trek Official Starships Collection features the die-cast model of Cardassian Orbital Weapons Platform introduces in the last days of the Dominion War. The Cardassian Orbital Weapons Platform was a powerful, unmanned planetary defence system designed to be deployed in orbit around tactically important planets. The platform consists of six arms around a central ring - three longer arms below the ring and three shorter ones above. Each platform carried a thousand plasma torpedoes capable of taking down a starship. This Cardassian Orbital Weapons Platform carefully recreates the starship as seen in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Tears of the Prophets". The model shows the platform in the active mode with the arms opened up forming a roughly 45-degree angle with the ring.
