Well, I might as well end my Spaceship run where I started, with the USS Enterprise. This time it’s the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-E. The E is a Sovereign-Class Federation Heavy Explorer starship, launched on Stardate 49827.5 from the San Francisco Fleet Yards as the cutting edge of Starfleet ship design. The ship started construction as the USS Honorius, but was rechristened after the destruction of the Enterprise D at Veridian III.

Slave 1, a modified Firespray 31-Class patrol ship was once owned by the infamous bounty hunter Jango Fett, who stole the ship from the Oovo IV prison moon. After Jango Fett’s death at the Battle of Geonosis the ship was passed along to his clone son, Boba Fett. Sadly the dashing blue and yellow paint job didn’t stay for long.

The tiny, but powerful, Kylothian military ship that brought Serleena to planet earth, in search of the Light of Zartha. The light is key to the Kylothian quest to conquer or destroy the Zarthans, their sworn enemies. Serleena will stop at nothing, including the destruction of Earth to retrieve it.

The Space Cruiser, is a UFO-like space-fairing vehicle constructed by Rick Sanchez. The Space Cruiser is powered by a Microverse battery, containing a miniature universe whose sole purpose is to generate electricity for the vehicle. However, the inhabitants of the Microverse themselves created a Miniverse Battery, rendering Rick’s battery obsolete.

In 1953 mysterious objects plummet to various points on earth. Soon the objects open, revealing themselves to be transportation pods for alien craft, from the planet Mars. Emerging in groups of three, the seemingly unstoppable Martian war machines wreck havoc on planet Earth, and it’s people. Now, one could argue that these machines aren’t really ships. In fact, they even sorta explain that they are lifted by invisible legs in the movie. But, I’m calling them a spaceship, cause they come from space, and they fly. And they’re pretty darn badass too. And legit scary for a 1950s movie.

On July 4th, 1978, 12 year old David Freeman goes missing from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. 8 years later he returns. For David, no time has passed and he hasn’t aged. Then he starts having visions of a mysterious spaceship that crashed nearby. A Trimaxion Drone Ship, built by the Phaelons, to be exact. Between Flight of the Navigator, The Last Starfighter, Space Camp and Explorers, the 80s had the “young kids going into space” genre down pat.

The Skyfighter was the main fighter of the Visitors fleet. While initially promised as a defence aid to the people of Earth, the Skyfighter proved to be an effective tool of suppression, once the Visitors revealed their true natures.

The TIE/wi modified interceptor (or Tie Whisper) was manufactured by Sienar-Jaemus Fleet Systems as Supreme Leader Kylo Ren’s personal fighter. Built with increased firepower, range and speed than a standard TIE interceptor, the TIE Whisper was also equipped with advanced sensor-confusing technology, making the ship almost invisible to scans.

Scratchbuilding a ship model based on a design from DP9′s “Jovian Chronicles”. I’ve always loved scale modeling and I’ve done quite a few kits in my time, but I’ve always been shy to improvise The only ones I’ve done to anything like completion were a few dinosaur playset for my kids. This is something almost altogether new for me and it’s coming along, I think. Still got lots of fiddly things to do to it before I spray it all grey.

Earlier this week I had a chance to visit Leiden, Netherlands, where along with Science Now, we’ve prepared a new exhibition for the Leiden Science Center (Oude Sterrewacht).
“Above and Beyond” celebrates the last 100 years of space exploration and creatively reaches out into the imaginary future. I’ve made several illustrations for the “Visions of the Future” section of the exhibition and I’ll share some more detailed preview soon.
If you happen to be in Amsterdam/Leiden/Hague area, drop by to check it out!

The Icebreaker Borealis for this same project! It’s pretty much space Las Vegas, except that one of the premiere attractions are the ubiquitous mech pit fighting arenas, which already puts it miles ahead of regular Las Vegas
For the “In Golden Flame” Lancer mission, which you can find below!
