Back in the early 90s before Star Trek: First Contact there was this trekkie known as Masao Okazaki who had learned how to work early CG software during a time where getting it to do anything was both expensive and very jank. He wrote this elaborate fanfiction of the pre-TOS Federation, particularly regarding the Earth-Romulan War, and designed a huge amount of assets to depict it including all the ships detailed here
>>214286784 as well as early Romulan and Klingon designs, giving them an aesthetic that creatively showed the evolution of rocket-style ships into the familiar saucer profile; even if many of the ships lool weird and overly round, they fit the description of the vessels in the Balance of Terror better than the viewscreen-using, phase-cannon spewing, photonic torpedo-slinging upside-down Akira.
He'd graduate from being a fan to being part of the staff when CBS hired him to do TOS Remastered since he was very good at reproducing the look of TOS stuff in CGI, and this project was happening around the same time as Enterprise was airing, so there were hopes some of his stuff might appear on-screen in later seasons the same way he slipped a few of his designs into TOS-R.
Like all things regarding ENT's projected later seasons, it was not to be.
