If I'm not mistaken, that was a concept drawing from the company that was originally developing STO before cryptic started working on it. I forget who the original company was but that was definitely part of their info page on the official star trek site years ago. I think there may be licensing issues with the original company for using it but perhaps they're finally resolving it and we'll see it in game. :)
Perpetual Entertainment. When Perpetual Entertainment went belly up and Cryptic got the rights, they also got all of the intellectual property from PE, including the alpha game engine that had created, but the threw everything out cause they wanted to use their engine, except for some artwork.
You can actually see this ship ingame. When you warp into many sector defends, you'll see this ship broken and abandoned near the spawn point, as kind of a nod towards the PE STO.
