Description


Traveling Star Habitat Nahfenkroyjenol - Deep Space Explorer "Empyrean" was the first human starship to visit this titanic Ventasian construction during the mid-2nd Era of Human star-faring history. Nahfenkroyjenol, which translates as "Inspiring Awe", is thousands of years old with occasional changes in the Fellowship of Star-Faring Sentients member habitats that are part of it. In the early 4th Era, a joint Human-T'lar traveling star habitat joined Nahfenkroyjenol. The centerpiece of this super habitat is an experimental superspace transit gate allowing starships to travel from one Nahfenkroyjenol-type super habitat to another much more rapidly than they could using their own faster-than-light drives. They are relatively few Nahfenkroyjenol-type super habitats spread thinly throughout the Milky Way galaxy. They are the primary focal points of the Fellowship of Star-Faring Sentients network. The inspiration for Nahfenkroyjenol is an advanced alien space station, called "The Node", presented in the "Rama" series of science fiction novels by Arthur C. Clarke and Gentry Lee. While Nahfenkroyjenol is much larger than "The Node", being close in size to the "Death Star" of the original "Star Wars" movie, it shares the same peaceful mission of Clarke's alien artificial construct. I used various colors and shapes for the Fellowship of Star-Faring Sentients member habitats attached to Nahfenkroyjenol's framework to represent the diversity of sentient life contained inside them. The image above is a repost with corrected dimensions.

Rama oneof my favorite sci fi reads. The wholething was run by Biots. If I remember right Rama was cylindrical. Great take on the whole thing Clarke is one of my favorite authors. Childhoods end is another great read. From your measurments it is almost 2 dimensional.

Unusual in design and texturing. Personally i prefere a far more technical aproach, but that limits imagination a lot..which is great here, well done.
