Description
Armored Cruiser – Boost Phase
An Orion’s Arm future history project image.
Closed Cycle Gas Core Nuclear Light Bulb style nuclear thermal rockets and Orion fission initiated fusion nuclear pulse drive firing in concert.
In context of my future history the combat vehicle imaged sees action during the System States War, at around the +750 year mark on my future history timeline.

Definition of System States War sides and allegiances:
Consortium Moons
The Consortium of Moons (commonly shortened to Consortium Moons) describes a constitutionally limited Republic among the moons of Saturn, comprised of independent space habitats, each being a city-state under individual self rule in terms of internal civil matters and acting in unison under specifically defined treaty agreement in regards to external security.
System States
The Consortium of Moons is a member of the System States which are a union of treaty in regards to policing and security of commerce and trade.
Members of the System States are the Consortium Moons, the Jovan Association (which includes most large habitats in and among the asteroid belt – the exception being mining sites established by the Earth Alliance) and the Mars Republic.
Mars Republic
Mars Republic describes the constitutionally limited form of government established by the Martian settlers.
Earth Alliance
The Earth Alliance is a global socialist state established by force after hundreds of years of warring among the lesser criminal empires which in turn arose after the self-destruction of present day industrial/technological civilization at the hands of an intentionally fomented irrationality, mob tribalism, and predatory activism aimed to take down the bases of scientific industrial based commerce and trade – the end of present day civilization signaled an end of abundance and the dawn of a dark ages which extended over three-hundred years in duration.
System States War
The System States War describes a conflict between the System States and the Earth Alliance, precipitated by an incursion of Earth Alliance armed forces on Mars seizing by force territories on the surface of Mars and claiming these as a possession of Earth.
All models are my own Bryce creations, created in Bryce 6.3 and rendered in Bryce 7 Pro.
As always thank you for your thoughtful comments, interest, and support.

Full View is a must. Excellent impact you get from the effects of the engines and like the ship shown against the rings. Great work and research.

Pretty cool looking stuff. I always wondered what it would be to ride on an orion pulse drive. Would it vibrate or be like riding a sailing ship with the up and down motion of waves? How could the recoil of the drive REALLY be compensated for an INHABITED rocket?

In response to RodS & hideakifuji, Least your misunderstandings mislead others: The vehicle is not a “star ship,” it is an interplanetary spacecraft. The subject of interstellar spaceflight is not part of my future history at this juncture, see future history context link in caption text.
