The Undiscovered Country: Why is the galley set so worn out? (infosec.pub)

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country is one of my favorite Trek films. It’s a great finale for the original crew and it’s both well done and also not at the same time (I could do a whole thread on the numerous continuity errors within the film, but I digress). One thing I’ve always wondered is why the galley in the Enterprise is so beat up in the scene where the senior crew debates the use of a phaser as part of the crime against the Klingon Chancellor.

So…. Why is the galley so beat up?

That's a good question. I found this on Memory Alpha:

A desperate scramble among the creative staff ensued to trim as much as possible of the budget as possible; the entire prologue was (albeit painfully) scrapped, scenes were trimmed, all planned set construction for new starship interiors was abandoned (though a new Kronos One corridor set did get build ultimately), the planned live-action shoots in Alaska for the Rura Penthe scenes were scrapped as were plans for new studio models and other visual effects elements. Starship sets were to be entirely recycled from Star Trek: The Next Generation, which was concurrently in production, but was slated for its summer hiatus, when filming of The Undiscovered Country was planned to start, and only existing studio models were to be used.

I'm guessing this set was simply not built to hold up under feature film-level resolution.

Edit: elsewhere on the page, it says the galley was a redress of Troi's office.

Several of the scenes in 6 were obviously shot on TNG sets. The Engineering scenes are the most painfully obvious as, in some cases, they literally just have a bunch of extras standing in the way of the panels they didn’t change.

The one that bumps me most is the Totally-Not-Ten-Forward Office of the Federation President.
