Kobayashi Maru: Starships!

The ships in my Trek-inspired universe are closer to a Geof Darrow interpretation of Star Wars than the sleek, smooth ships of Star Trek. They are meant to represent a cruder, more industrial future.

These ships don't have warp drive. Instead, they travel along "slideways": Corridors of space that have been polished smooth by millions of years of near-light travel, which has created bubbles of contracted ("warped") space that allows transit time between stars to be reduced considerably.

When it comes to the destroyers of 'U-Fed", I wanted them to have the silhouette of a Constitution class when seen head-on, only to have their distinctive, aircraft carrier-inspired design revealed when seen at an angle.

Below is my current concept for the Kobayashi Maru herself!

Yeahhhhh! That one sprung like Athena from my brow. I was thinking of the gothic design of Warhammer ships crossed with the Sulaco.

To me, I got a "lust child" vibe between the Sulaco and the Babylon 5 station. But since you mentioned WH 40K, I now see those elements. Maybe it was a squiggy "three way"! :whistle:

I actually detected the B5 influence after I had drawn it. I'll steal from anybody!
