Many Among the Stars

The original Star Trek told us of a vast civilization, spanning a portion of the galaxy and filling the spaceways with culture and commerce. But even the remastered version didn't really fully give us a visual sense of a "populated corner of space". So one thing I've been drawn to in my extended Trek illustration obsession has been to try and show a bit more of that - that the Federation is more that just talking about a variety of sentient species cavorting about the stars.

That's one of the goals that drove this image... that and to get up close and person with Richmerk's new robot freighter model! G-Type Starbase model by David Metlesits [link]. Rendered in DAZ Studio. Background by Moonchilde-Stock.
