-A model of the Khai Tam was created in 1999 by then-member (now Captain) [[Richard Graham]].  Using art from the ''Khai Tam'' website and parts from several commercially available model sets, he produced a fairly faithful reproduction of what the ship's designers envisioned.  The model travelled extensively with the club and was displayed with pride at many events.  It was eventually auctioned at a ship fund raiser in 19XX where it was purchased by none other than long-time ''Khai Tam'' Captain, [[Jon Reddick]].

 [[Image:QapConcept.jpg|thumb|left|150px|First known concept art of the Qapla' class design, circa 1991, Jon Reddick]][[Image:KT_Manual.jpg|thumb|300px|right|USS Khai Tam Technical Orientation Manual]]In 1993, the members had the basic idea to write a technical manual for the Khai Tam as a way to "sell" the idea to Starfleet to officially sanction this non-canon original design for a Trek-Universe starship.  The problem was that no one had the time or resources to work on the project.  In April of 1993, [[Kevin McNulty]] joined the Khai Tam and offered to help.  A stay-at-home-dad at the time, McNulty had the time to work, coupled with writing and computer illustration experience.  He, the ''Khai Tam's'' Chief Engineer, [[Colin Toenjes]], and other club members began work on the book later that year.
-The 92-page ''[http://www.intergalactictrading.com/product.cfm?pid=STMN010/F USS Khai Tam Technical Orientation Manual]'' was completed in six months.  Being well satisfied with their work, the ship thought that perhaps they may be able to sell it at Star Trek Conventions via established dealer channels.  In early 1994, Kevin and Colin approached Mike Kott of [http://www.intergalactictrading.com/product.cfm?pid=STMN010/F Intergalactic Trading Company] with a rough draft of the book.  Not only was Kott interested in selling it, he offered to ''publish'' it!  This was the crowning achievement of the design team, and a published, bound, and autographed copy was sent off to Starfleet in June of 1994.  Shortly thereafter, approval was given for other chapters to select the Qapla'-class starship for their own chapters.

 [[Image:Manual signing.jpg|left|thumb|140px|Kev McNulty at a book signing]]Autographed copies of the book have been given to crew members, Trek stars, and Trek designer Michael Okuda.  The book can still be purchased through Interglactic Trading and also through some auction and book sites.  Googling the title produces several interesting links even to this day.
