A series of Star Trek inspired, practical Avorion ships. Designs are tested on a veteran or tougher difficulty galaxy, and optimized for playability.

A lot of the models are relatively low-poly and the photos are low-res. I wish I could claim I was going for some old-school Starfleet Command vibe, but it isn't so. Due to a previous work and travel schedule, several of the hulls were built and played on an air-cooled i5 Surface Pro with an onboard Intel GPU. While I wanted the starships to look amazing, I also needed to keep a playable frame rate.

The later designs are also chunky, but intentionally built using the 16 sided "round" hull fragments that you'll find auto-generated on Avorion stations and the occasional Xsotan hostile. Much of the construction took place during social isolation in 2020, with the game played on a customized Intel NUC PC.

Feedback appreciated. If you're looking for a ship in a particular style or for a specific role not seen here, leave a comment and we'll see what we can do.

**LORE**
In the 23rd century, a massive subspace event emanated from the galactic core and altered the shape of space and its constants. All technology built around those constants (to include the speed of light in a vacuum) ceased to operate, and intergalactic civilization was cast back to a terrestrial, pre-industrial state.

We were lucky. Our sun did not go out. Nor did she grow too cold or too hot for life on Earth. She only changed her color, and we were alive to rebuild and rediscover.

Even with advanced scientific knowledge, it took centuries to rediscover chemical propulsion, then fission, fusion, and antimatter.

As we return to the stars, we've discovered that nothing is as it was. It's a brand new frontier. We are all new life and new civilizations. And we will boldly go where no one has gone before.
