Dossiers

The Dossiers were a section of the 2009 Star Trek movie website (startrekmovie.com), which have subsequently been lost as the site has been updated to promote the next Star Trek film, Star Trek Into Darkness. They provided brief introductions to the key characters, locations, starships, and institutions of Star Trek, including details about those subjects which at the time were completely new information, and indeed some facts which remain unique to the dossiers. There were sixteen dossiers in total, which also offered the image as a downloadable wallpaper, without the text.

Intel: To Boldly Go

Intel's To Boldly Go website was a promotional site for the 2009 Star Trek movie, it described itself as the "forward staging platform" at the Starfleet shipyard building the Constitution-class USS Enterprise. Upon entering the site the viewer could see several screens to the right, these included a link to a competition, and a link to the Starfleet Academy Archive, giving specifications on the USS Kelvin. Other screens in the bank were filled with static, presumably to include addition links to new features, however no such features ever appeared.
  • Original website: https://boldlygo.intel.com/
  • Launched: July 2008
  • Last known update: November 2008
  • Last active: unknown, at least May 2009
  • Memory Beta coverage

Kelvin views - a 3D model of the Kelvin which could be rotated to examine from various angles.
Kelvin specs - while exploring the ships certain areas could be clicked on for further information:

"The Bridge"

"Phaser Turrets"

"The Kelvin’s phaser turrets can either fire bolts of high concentrated energy, or beams of less power to slice through the shield or hull of an attacking vessel. Plasma is passed to a phaser emitter resulting in a discharge of nadion particles"

"Nacelle"

"The Kelvin has a single warp nacelle housing the ship's warp drive engine. Two rows of massive semi-circular warp-field coils produce a powerful subspace field that bends space around the ship, allowing for faster than light travel."

"Impulse Engine"

"The USS Kelvin employs massive engines at sublight speeds. Full impulse power is approximately one-quarter of the speed of light, suitable for traveling within a single star system. Its four deuterium fusion reactors power the impulse engines."

"Navigational Deflector"

"Hangar Bay"
