Kerihekteki Mantle of Combat II [WIP] by X. Cytilinsk

Kerihekteki Mantle of Combat II [WIP]

X. Cytilinsk

WIP from 2021, this would have been a redesign of a Kerihekteki "Mantle of Combat" which is their most prominent and notorious form of warship. Like most of their machines, this vessel would make use of advanced forms of anti-gravity and hardlight technology poorly understood by its own engineers (the Kerihekteki assimilated these abilities from other civilizations.) Its hull would be composed of a dense composite material similar in appearance to bone or bleached coral which is practically indestructible via conventional weaponry.

    It reminds me of microscopic pollen grains, magnified. It looks nothing like we'd expect a "starship" to be, but, I have thought, from time to time, that a spherical warship might be useful in maneuvering and fighting in any direction without having to turn around.

      Glad you think so! I was definitely inspired by the weird and sometimes beautiful patterns formed by ossified tissue. I figured with the Kerihekteki being the kind of creatures to just want to constantly kill everything around them they would probably employ radial symmetry to allow them to fire in any direction at any given time.
