We really blew our budget on that whole Batris sequence so all we have left is stock footage and lighted symbols instead of a bridge.
Calm the fuck down, Riker.

According to the Star Trek Encyclopedia (3rd ed., p. 38) the Batris, “(…) was a modification of a Visitor freighter [1] from the miniseries V”, built by Greg Jein. While the Encyclopedia entry suggested that the model was a modification of the V model, Jein himself has clarified years later, “I think, I was working on Red October[note: Jein was wrong about this as he would work on that feature one year later], when we did the Batris, which was a freighter ship. So we took parts we had left over from ”V“ and ”Captain Eon and the Space Knights“ [sic., Jein is referring to the 1986 science fiction short Captain Eo, featuring popstar Michael Jackson], and sort of cobbled them together to get it done within like a three-week period.” (TNG Season 1 Blu-ray special feature, “Stardate Revisited, Part 3: The Continuing Mission”)
