British editor and writer who ran the Star Trek Fact Files and Star Trek: The Magazine, managed the Official Starships Collection of models, and wrote several reference books on the ships and series.
Ben Robinson edited the British partwork Star Trek Fact Files and its American successor Star Trek: The Magazine, both of which drew on direct access to the production staff and their design work.
He later headed the Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection, a long-running series of die-cast models, each issued with a magazine on the design history of the ship. Material from it was collected in the Designing Starships books.
His own titles include the Haynes USS Enterprise Owners' Workshop Manual, written with Marcus Riley, the Klingon Bird-of-Prey manual, written with Rick Sternbach, and Star Trek: Voyager - A Celebration, written with Mark Wright in 2020.
