- This ship was probably most famous for being Gabriel Lorca's first command, but it actually turned up in canon long before that. Also, it's named after a very real space-vehicle developed in 1974.

"This is an example of Star Trek actively addressing a recurring trait of the legacy of the vessel." Next up, the Oberth Class Super Dreadnought.
That blows up when an enemy even thinks of attacking it.
The underslung pod will be housing a giga-hyper phaser cannon.
Lol, that sounds like Starfeet finally making the Corbomite Device a real thing? I couldn't think of a more appropriate ultimate weapon for the hypothetical Oberth Class Super Dreadnaught.
"Just do what comes naturally."
"Dude, we are on a Buran. The only thing that comes naturally to that class is going boom..."
@ValorJ Omega Ah, a Red Shirt Ship! New, cheerful and doomed to die.
Hey, at least is was not called the Kamchatka. After the most infamous ship in Russian Naval history.
@@occultatumquaestio5226 Kamchatka, harried to its doom by imaginary Japanese torpedo boats and possibly too many opiated cigarettes from Madagascar. So Draconian!
@@occultatumquaestio5226 I think I just saw an Admiral throwing some binoculars at the mention of that ship's name
@@dancingwiththedarkness3352 "Ah, a Red Shirt Ship! New, cheerful and doomed to die." - I would argue that, by "going boom" early in its life, this ship actually SAVED Red Shirts...
Tell me, how many Red Shirts do you reckon the Enterprise helped extinguish during its many years of service?! ;-{P
One of the atmospheric test vehicles, and the only one that is outside of Russia or Baikonur at this moment is in Germany, at the Technikmuseum Speyer. Great place that, highly recommended. They also have a 747.
It's honestly a pity the Buran never was developed further. It was a superior design to the Space Shuttle. It was more reusable and safer by design. And it was dimensionaly larger and had a slightly higher payload capacity.
Funny thing about that last comment, there is a real world ship named Blizzard/Snowstorm. It's just that she's Japanese instead of Russian so rather than _Buran_ she's named _Fubuki_
She too was lost in combat.
The first ship I blew up in World of Warships was a Fubuki...poor B@sterd.
Actually there was also a destroyer in WW2 called the Yukikaze (snow wind) which can also be interpreted as blizzard
@@yazanbaddawi9683 There was to be a Tom Cruz live action remake of the animated Yukikaze, but it never happened. Shame.
@@matthewdavies2057 surely you're not talking about Sento Yusei Yukikaze?
@@yazanbaddawi9683 Hai!
Slight correction. The collapse at the hangar only destroyed the flight capable buran shuttle that had flown the test flight. In total there were three. One was strictly for ground use but there was a second space capable buran that is still 90% complete. Both of these still survive at baikonur cosmodrome as well as the energia prototype rocket that was built to carry them
The STO Buran class is also a fighter carrier as she has a larger shuttle or hangar for a ship of her size shes as long as a Galaxy class.
This was a great video. Didn't actually know much about it but I've been interested. Makes me wanna pick up sto and grab one
Its a free download
I just got the Ship yesterday. Thoroughly enjoying it. It'll be a while before I get some experimental upgrade tokens to max her out but so far it's a fun space boat.
The Challenger got its own namesake vessel in the TV canon before STO, with the USS Challenger, piloted by Geordie La Forge, though that was a Galaxy class vessel.
A fitting tribute, considering the first black American to die during a spaceflight catastrophe, was aboard the Challenger Space Shuttle - Ronald McNair.
2:50 ...destroyed with all hands... official records show... one survivor.
That is a Vulcan level of accuracy.
Mirror Lorca who found himself in Prior Buran after transporting from mirror Priors Worlds while gathering his supporters after failed coup against Emperor Georgiou.
Ok, so the shuttle Enterprise was actually renamed that from Constitution as a result of a Star Trek fan write in campaign. So I wonder what the reason for the change was in the Star Trek universe?
In-universe they probably just named it Enterprise from the beginning. No name change at all.
A shame the Enterprise was never in space as it was made for atmospheric tests.
The Enterprise of Star Trek happened to be 'Constitution Class' in the tech manual, which made it into canon, by bits. (there was a USS Constitution, NCC 1700) The shuttle Enterprise was actually originally going to be the Columbia, I think, since the original Constitution from the War of 1812 was still technically actively commissioned. (I could be mistaken, there. )
Anyway, I think Star Trek lore basically had the shuttle fleet names being 'Traditional Earth Ship Names' *because* they were the first enduring spaceships. One would expect more names from the other founding Federation members but their own 'navies' were probably still using most of those all along, like a 'Kumari' or a 'Surak' or a 'T'Planahath.' Basically, Earth Starfleet seems to have been entirely fused with the Federation Starfleet and then the other members contributed crews and tech to *that,* but kept their own navies/exploration agencies, as well. (I'm guessing that's part of why you see so many Earth names, and English ones at that, and fewer aliens or alien-crewed ships. :))
@@OllamhDrab The Constitution is still actively commissioned and is a glorious sight--especially if you're into tall ships. If I were Captain Th'Pev, I'd be worried about getting a hard luck name ship like Buran...
@@JoeSmith-mx1sr Hee. I know much about the original Connie, ...I'm from Boston. Been aboard making deliveries even, (I was a bike messenger.) As for that Th'Pev, my take on Andorians is that they relish a challenge and certainly do have warrior traditions there. :)
I've got this one on STO, got the fleet version too. It's the main ship I use on one of my Federation characters.
Same, and nobody is blowing up my baby anymore! Not after I geared her up.
Have you ever considered taking this series to ships outside of Trek? There are a lot of Sci Fi ships out there....
Movie: 2010 :" Leonov will leave for Jupiter a year before Discovery II will be ready..." , "I thought you were calling her Titov" , "...eh, we change name last month; people fall out of favor." Gotta love the Russians!
I love seeing none American or UK based name continued into the future of Star Trek.
There was a USS Gagarin in season one of TNG
Don't forget about the Soyuz class of ships too.
It's wonderful that Star Trek has stayed true to Gene Roddenberry's vision of a united earth future - and ships are named to pay tribute to famous vessels from different corners of our little blue marble.
I still hope they bring back the main universe Lorca at some point in Discovery. Last we heard he was MIA, and while doubt was expressed that he could've survived for a year and a half in the mirror universe, there was never any body or any direct indication that he didn't survive, so anything is possible.
I doubt Discovery will continue any of its mirror universe plot threads as they headed to the future...maybe he could show up in Strange New Worlds, but that is also unlikely as Spock shouldn't be aware of the Mirror Universe until "Mirror, Mirror"...Granted it not like there aren't work any arounds if the could get Jason Issacs to agree to be a guest star for an episode as Spock might have been away on a mission or that he does learn about the Mirror universe...we just didn't know. Afterall Prime Spock was barely in the original TOS episode
The cardenas class has become one of my favourite designs in all trek
Nice.. Please do a history on the USS Kearsarge from 1861 to 2410 next!
Unwittingly, due to my... aggressive play style, I find the facts of this video totally warranted and cheerfully affirming.
I am really interested in the Federation starship that was experimental and captured by the Romulans that had the multi vector attack mode. Basically the ship broke up into several pieces are capable of its own propulsion and weapon system in order to Attack the enemy from multiple vectors. It is an awesome idea and one that I think deserves further scrutiny.
You mean Multi Vector Attack Mode? 😉
In really late but you're thinking of the Prometheus, and it does have a T6 version, the Hestia Advanced Escort FYI. (The special ability of which, appropriately, is basically setting enemies on fire with your warp plasma)
Just got this today as my first tier 6 ship.
Cool, my name is van BUREN, so its neat to see this stuff, and I was born in 1988 so that's neat too, think I'll pick this ship up online.
i fly a fleet buran-class dreadnaught in STO ^^
great ship for hull tanking
The design still is used in the Miracle Worker T6 ships, like the Tucker Class.
Best looking Star Fleet ship since the war with The Dominion.
This reminds me of one of the things I dislike about the JJ Abrams Star Trek... it turns the Federation and Starfleet into a space war flashy lights and colors without the depth or values that the previous series had.
*still think we're going to see a use of the Ship wide Anti-Flare Protocols being activated on a future episode of the Orville*
*at least that's my personal theory...but the reference and implied humor would be too good for Seth MacFarlane to pass up*
*fingers, toes and eyes crossed*
@@scottmantooth8785 I think you replied to the wrong comment.
@@Thunderwalker87 *not intentionally...just pointing out the fact of there being an over abundance of highly distracting retina damaging flares within the Kelvin universe...especially on the ships*
*more of a personal joke than anything*
Please do one on the USS Constitution NCC-1700. The real ship is interesting to read about, especially with it having been launched three times, it is a stubborn ship that doesn't want to die (hence the nickname OLD IRONSIDES). The US Navy tried to decommission the her twice, but finally gave up and bought a forrest of white oak to keep her seaworthy. The last time she sailed under her own power was on her 200th birthday. The crew wanted to take out to sea but wasn't allowed to.
Actually, how about a TV mini series of about 6 episodes called Star Trek: Constitution.....?!!
can you make a video about the breen pls
Buran is today located in the Technik Museum Speyer (South Germany) well preserved.
This is my favorite ship in STO, tough as nails and armed to the teeth
If you are not on board a main ship, expect it to go boom... A LOT.
The Buran Programme also benefited from all the data on the Space Shuttle that was made freely available by NASA.
The Buran class ship would've made a better looking option than the Curiosity class in the final episode of Picard season 1.
Maybe streamline the primary hull a bit, giving it a arrow shape, but keeping the engine layout.
It gives the impression of power and *speed,* which would explain why it was the only StarFleet ships that could get there in time.
And being a pure combat ship it could be in far less numbers but still outmatch the Romulan fleet (which may well be not high powered capital ships … the Romulan Empire not having any shipyards for over 20 years).
A fleet of a dozen (or even less) turn up, but they outgun the hundred old Romulan Corvettes/Frigates that are there.
The Curiosity class were just so derivative I couldn't pick them out in a line up, and I suspect many fans couldn't either.
Do a Review of the Ship from Lower Decks !!!
Hi Rick, Hope you are well this morning, Thank for your informative look at the Buran and it's place in Star Trek. I would like it if you would take your skill of research and your passion for Star Trek, to fine out something I have wondered for a while. THE EIGHT MAIN CREW of TOS, how many episodes did each character appear in? and how has the lest appearances? and if you wish who replaced them in their position on the ship. I know that it is a large job and many would not take it on. You are a very insightful person and many have the still to research this BUT no one can do it in the unique manner that you could.
Hey Rick ! I have one question : what is up with the warp drives positions ? Do they affect space travel ? Or they are just for the show ?
warp engines create a bubble, different types of ship designs require different types of bubbles so the nacelles are placed accordingly. Some are just Starfleet experiments to see what they can get away with and are others are out of requirement.
I recall something about Rodenenberry mentioning his idea was they acted as kind of 'tuning forks' that generated a warp bubble, they were in pairs or multiples of pairs for that reason (2, 4, 6)..that's why seeing only single warp drives in the Franz Joseph tech manual kinda freaked me out back in the 1970's.. turning the page to see the 'dreadnaught' (3 warp drives!!??) at this point I fainted ;)
I'm actually getting Buran Class printed . Naming the ship after my grandmother! :)
Fun fact. I the last year or so there have been talks of bringing a Buran back to life. The Soviets had a way of squirrelling away spares of all sorts of tech over the years and then forgetting where they left them after the break up, for instance RD 180s which the US brought about 30 or so of them to use in the last couple of years and apparently they found a warehouse with a load of Buran spare bits. Would be great as Russian Rockets and gear tends to be a lot more efficient than US ones. Scott Manley did a bit on the RDs ua-cam.com/video/oGr1UVNBDLs/v-deo.html
Got one for you. How come all starships are always right side up. Is there a Galactic Reference all starships use? I don't think there are any episodes where the Enterprise met another ship pitched/roll differently. They are always the same.
Rick: "Their interiors and tech were a little more varied."
Me: For example, we had state-of-the-art comms, and they had two cans on a *really* long string. 😀
The Buran was actually more advanced than the Space shuttle, being capable of unmanned takeoff and landing during its first and only flight. as far as i know there were never any space shuttles flown or landed without human pilots.
Have you done a video about deflectors?
There's a character called Buran in the two parter of the seventh season of TNG called Gambit and Buran isn’t written as Buran in Russian it’s written as bypah
Burja is not realy a snow storm but ;) Nice video
Any chance of the Yorktown next please?
It was a mistake to classify Buran as a dreadnought ingame. MOst dreadnoughts are gigantic. Odyssey, Kelvin Intel, even the Romulan Command Warbirds are dreadnoughts. Buran class is a shallow comparasion to the others.
I think they only called it that because you get the 23rd century (DSC) skin with it when you buy it and in that time it was enormous, there also probably trying to hint it links the later line of atlas 23rd century dreadnoughts also non canon i think? that they created for the game, those ships also had 4 nacelles just in a different layout.
Very cool. First viewer. Always a good video.
Battleaxe seems about right
I was kinda sad the actual Buran never got any manned missions.
The USSR Buran is one of my favorite rockets
Rick I have a question; are there any ships in Starfleet which had Arabian names other than the "ibn Majid" which was mentioned in Startrek Picard?
USS Al Battani, one of Janeway's prior vessels. I think that was named after an astronomer.
@@CertifiablyIngame thank you captain Rick, here is what I found about Al Battani:
Abū ʿAbd Allāh Muḥammad ibn Jābir ibn Sinān al-Raqqī al-Ḥarrānī aṣ-Ṣābiʾ al-Battānī was an Arab astronomer, and mathematician. He introduced a number of trigonometric relations, and his Kitāb az-Zīj was frequently quoted by many medieval astronomers, including Copernicus
what platform is startrek online played on, on a macbook?
What's the advantage of having 4 nacelles?
@Necroglobule 😂 i suppose that could be the extent of it, a couple of spares
More stable Warp Field, and presumably a more powerful warp core, as befitting a "dreadnought".
Twice as many things to explode and shoot sparks everywhere in a fight
In really late but the best theory I've heard IMO is more endurance at higher warp, because they can alternate which two nacelles are doing more work in maintaining the field at any given time.
Wasn't there a band called Buran Buran... I know where the Shuttlebay is no need to escort me off ship...
Duran Duran; but that was THE joke, right?.
Don't worry, I almost died laughing at your exquisitely humorous pun. Thank you! 😅
@@datathunderstorm sprry this wasn't planned as an assassination. ^^° But im glad you had something to laugh. :)
Stay save fellow human. Greetings and LLAP
Legacy of the USS Lakota
That Last Buran from the top down almost looks like a Klingon ship with added Starfleet bits like the the side sections of the saucer.
Could you do one on the USS T'Plana-Hath
Is that a Vulcan starship?
datathunderstorm yes the one from first contact but also a federation star ship in discovery
I like a good pizza cutter shaped starship as much as the next man.
And starship-shaped pizza cutters? :-)
The original Buran was based loosely on the American version.
Do you mean the ISS Buran?
🔥🖤🔥
Someone please explain to me where the Klingons in STD got the money to build Cleaver ships that make Federation starships look like children's toys? The Klingon Empire has always been financially weaker than the Federation.
Slave labor? Supposedly the Klingons subjugate other races rather then cooperate with them like the Federation. As do the Romulans. It's what makes both of them Empires.
@@daverapp: Subjugation costs a lot of time and effort, though, which can't be dedicated to other more productive tasks. And slaves are almost always unskilled labor. Imperialism is really only useful for securing inexpensive raw materials, not skilled laborers or massive economic growth. That's why nations on Earth mostly got out of Imperialism in the modern age, when direct control of raw materials was no longer a key factor of national strength. Not to mention enormous ships require enormous fuel supplies; Star Trek hasn't broken that law of physics, yet. Then again, STD features a form of space travel so absurd that they even make fun of it themselves, so maybe they've bestowed upon the Klingons a way to move enormous starships by having everyone onboard push _really hard_ against the forward bulkheads while yelling loudly, or something.
Actually the Buran had a lot of improvements over the space shuttle.
Here is a very good video on it ua-cam.com/video/CwLx4L5NRU0/v-deo.html
Wait.....it can create storms -_-
Was there ever a Oberth class ship called Buran?
If so, we know what happened to it…
@ValorJ Omega uhhh... "in post-Soviet Russia, Enemy watches you explode"? Idfk!
Buran is my dogs name.
👍
🙂👍🏽📽
I love how Star Trek shamelessly honors vessels from around the IRL world. I wonder are there any from sea powers of sail days other than English, USA, Russia? Such as Spanish, Dutch, French, German, China, Japan?
Huh, a USS Tegetthoff would be nice, after the austrian Admiral made famous by his victory against Italy in the battle of Lissa, and the class of Dreadnought later named after him.
Oh lord, that TNG was some kind of ugly...
It's a TNG remake of a similar design from TOS.
As far as kitbashes go, it's far from being the worse. Members of the DS9 Frankenstein fleet are far worse. Yeager, Curry... I don't even like the Centaur.
@@Th0ughtf0rce: I once kitbashed an Excelsior model by deleting the neck between the primary and secondary hulls, trimming the vertical standoffs from the ends of the warp pylons, and remounting the warp engines on their sides. It was a minor modification, but it did a good job of making the Excelsior design look more modern and sleek.
@@deusexaethera haha. I think I did that at some point with my micro machines model. I wonder why they didn't just do simple rearranging of parts instead of making monstrosities with parts that didn't match together. Like Maquis fighter with Voyager? Seriously WTF!
@@Th0ughtf0rce: My guess is, the constraints of showing a spaceship on a low-resolution 1990s TV for only a few seconds at a time (or total!) meant that maximum visual distinctiveness was the top priority, and attractiveness was only important for spaceships that would be seen close-up and on a recurring basis.
please do the hutts in star wars & their slaves & the slaves costumes in star wars
And if you search USS Snowstorm that comes up with an anime girl in a short skirt...
There's a word for that in anime, though I dunno if they did anime ship 'idols' there. I thought it'd be cool, but it's actually way sketchy. :) )
This video doesn't do the original Buran justice. It was much more advanced than the American space shuttle. The Buran actually could propel itself independently of attachable fuel tanks/boosters, and it had crew evacuation equipment - unlike American space shuttle. But fate is cruel b@tch, so the dissolution of the Soviet Union buried all hopes for a long and successful program.
Also, in Russian word "Buran" doesn't just mean "snow storm". It conveys speed and power of a blizzard (we're speaking _Russian blizzard_ here, so go figure). The original ship was white. Hence the name.
You are absolutely right.
Wow I'm really first
I invite traditional fans of Star Trek to enjoy a completely free novel, Star Trek Lost Destiny, just google the name.
Don't name your ship the Saratoga just... It's Starfleet's bitch.
The original Buran was literally a stolen Space Shuttle design. That's why it looks practically identical to the Space Shuttle.
OR ... because you don't have any leeway when it comes to aerodynamic designs ... and would you look closer you would notice the fine differences, like the orientation oder easy misseble point that Buran has no rocket engines and "only" Jet Engines so you don't have to fly a Brick
@@enisra_bowman It may have been modified due to budget concerns or technological limitations, but it absolutely is a stolen design.

o.k. you guys gotta stop pretending that S.T.D. is Star Trek, it is a sad counterfeit that belongs in the dustbin of history.
You could slap a Star Trek logo onto an actual dog turd and most of these people would think it was great
could you please stop using 'Discovery' game play images... these always make sick and sad....
Get over yourself.
Despite the fact that you may not care for it...it's in-game content that Rick, and others, can use to tell stories. There may also be people who use the ships in STO, so if it works for them, that's cool.
Personally, I think all the DISCO ships look like someone took their collection of pizza pans and thought they'd make great starships, but if someone else is happy flying them? *shrug*
@@Corbomite_Meatballs it is less about the look of these ships but more about that ST is basically (as a franchise) in a very bad shape. Amazon wants out of Picard, STD season 3 may not even be available international anymore and all other spin off series got canned because no one wants to deal with this nuclear bomb that ST became. This all started with STD and every time I see these ships or chrachters... it's just sad.
Nothing fails like socialism
Sadly the STO version is a crap ship in game. Pretty but crap.
Challenger-class of what? Being the most ugly starship in the federation? 😱
Agreed. It seems to be an unimaginative kit-bash of Enterprise-D parts.
Discovery... Pft
