What Ship Be This ?

I've seen a few Keith renditions of this little guy, but I can't remember ever seeing a direct reference to the type of ship it is or any type of CT stats for it.

Anyone know ?
 
I don't think there was ever a canonical version of this ship. I seem to remember at least one version on someone's Web page though.
 
It's on the last page of my Starport Planetfall reprint and has a blurb for the Type Y Yacht, but I think it's just a coincidence.

It sorta reminds me of the Corsair in MT Encyclopedia or on the cover of GURPS Traveller Granicus, but I think the size is wrong.

It also reminds me of those Star Wars ships...

That would be an only slightly modified Star Wars Y-Wing fighter... with the Deathstar in the background it appears...

<chuckles>

yeah, I couldn't make up my mind if that was low-res Jupiter or the Death Star.

<hears Papa Palpatine from Robot Chicken's Star Wars special> "I'm dealing with a lot of crap right now...Death star blown up by a bunch of ****ing teenagers!"
 
Heh, you are probably right about the low-rez GG as opposed to the DS.

On second perusal, it has a few too many round bits to account for the one super-planet-blasting-laser. :)

<luke> *sipping sound* "That's a mighty fine gin and tonic R2, why don't you mix me up another one..."</luke>

Actually the Revived Empire is building the DeathStar III. Only this time they add a few modified torpedo spheres as additional defences should another Womprat-shooting farmboy make a run at it.

And they have activated their evil Minions to keep farmboys from learning to shoot by killing Womp-Rats.
 
If memory serves right, this was to be the ship that appears in Black Duke, as I seem to remember an old DGP catalogue that had a cut away section of that particular ship accompanying the Black Duke blurb.

Or it could be this ship (with modifications to make it streamlined), although for me, it looks too 2320AD
