Starfarer Interstellar Cruiser by LordDominic

Starfarer Interstellar Cruiser

LordDominic

Since a few people asked me about the Starfarers, and specifically, what sort of vehicles they use, in the past...


This is a Starfarer Wayfinder-Class Cruiser, a pretty typical Starfarer interstellar cruiser. This variant is a bit on the smaller side, with ships like the Lightbearer Dominion's flagship "Lightbringer" being nearly ten times the size, or the Reva Homeship being about three times as large, but it's the most common variant used by Starfarer clans.


Typical nomadic clans possess three or four cruisers like this one (forming a convoy of sorts, sometimes escorting a larger cruiser that serves as the clan's "capitol"), and Starfarer colonists tend to use these ships as the basis for their colonization efforts, as they are still small enough to safely land on a planet's surface, and possibly even take off again should colonization efforts not go according to plan.


The population of these ships is generally a couple thousand, with numerous food production facilities in the form of miniaturized farms and gardens providing both a food source and a means of recycling waste--not to mention that many botanical life-forms convert carbon dioxide into breathable oxygen, making them a form of passive life support/atmospheric generation.


While this particular ship is a pretty standard example, used by the Dominion Star Fleet, those used by other factions are often a bit different visually. The Reva in particular have had to make numerous repairs to their cruisers over the ages, leading to a situation where impromptu repairs and modifications mean no two Wayfinders truly look the same.
