Media reports are claiming there's a Chinese building that looks just like the USS Enterprise. The structure is even officially licensed by Paramount to NetDragon Websoft, a Chinese software giant run by trekker Liu DeJian, who wanted to build the world's only starship Enterprise office complex.

There is just one problem. That's not quite the Enterprise. It's more like the under-loved starship Voyager.

Yes, there are some similarities between the NetDragon building and the Enterprise-E featured in TNG movies like First Contact and Insurrection. But there are more similarities between the headquarters and the titular starship of Star Trek: Voyager, which spent seven seasons in the Delta Quadrant and all it got was this lousy case of mistaken identification.

The building's star drive section is too short to truly conform to either design. (And it's clearly not the ship of the original series, nor the Enterprise-A of the movies.) But the angular, elongated Enterprise-E nacelles are absent in the NetDragon building, replaced with Voyager-like warp nacelles:

Voyager has an ... uneven reputation with fans, with high-highs and low-lows and a hot Borg thrown in for a ratings gamble. But the ship and its crew should not be forgotten or swept under the rug. Mashable looks at the NetDragon HQ and sees the Enterprise-E blended with NCC-1701-D, plus maybe the ship from the J.J. Abrams movies. But this starship amalgamation owes at least some of its design to Captain Janeway's pride and joy.
