Description
This is how I envision the original 1963 Project Orion nuclear-pulse driven "space battleship" conceptualized by General Atomics and the USAF would look in modern day colors and livery. Named after a certain fictional Space Force General, this particular ship is seen here in combat configuration serves the United States Space Force with it's pulse drive in full view with weapons, sensors, shuttles, and landing craft on full display and annotated.USSF Naird
