This was the first design of the Grey Star created 3 (YIKES!) years ago. The story at the time was really crude and stupid. I never did get around to writing anything for it, just the idea that it was a ship of the Alliance (At the time just Rangers) trapped in a hyper-fold. The only suprise that I came up with is still going to pass. After that I lost my internet connection for over a year...

When I bought the new internet connection a year later, I really wanted to do this story properly. After a MONTH of hassle with the internet company who never seemed to get my void check I finally had the path cleared. I started experimenting with plots and characters during this time and also began designing ships. This was the first concept for the Grey Star as a 3D model. Not that great and an obvious incarnation of the Excalibur. If you look vey closly, the engines remind me of a cartoon rocket! I never really liked it as it was...

A month of using that Grey Star had annoyed me. It was poorly textured, bad lighting, and was an Excalibur wanna be. So I went about redesigning it. Using the neck, base, and hanger from the original, I introduced the 2 long curved wings (well 4 wings but you get the idea), the back "fins", new, less cartoony, emgines, a smaller, sleeker bridge base on the White Star's and the larger nose section. I was really proud of the results!
