Yes, the little red things on the sides are the Bussard collectors. Time period is early 26th century. It has an advanced drive that when outside of a galaxy it can travel fast enough to reach another galaxy in weeks, rather than eons. The "hollow" ends of the nacelles are part of that drive system, which is why the Bussards are the way they are.
