Description
It's the year 2268. With the help of the Andorian Home Guard, the First Fleet was able to aid the Caitians against the Kzinti invasion. But three planets, all of them Earth colonies, had to be handed over to the invaders. For the Federation, it was nothing, just some backwater establishments. For the First Fleet, it was the sad, but inevitable truth. For a Captain, it was the loss of his home. Disobaying orders, he and his crew remain behind the enemy lines to save what can still be saved. For the Earth starship Polaris, the great adventure begins.Yes, folks, this is how it all began to Captain Metlesits and his valiant crew.

You're soo good at making planets, so I'd like to see a close up planet from you sometime

It's a fractal based texture generatior I used, which can be used to render planets. But it's a hard job, puts a lot of strain on the computer...

Chang: I'm as constant as the northern star!
Bones: I'd pay real money if he'd shut up.
I laughed at that line.

it just occurred to me: that line is one of many referencing money, and then they act like they don't know what it is later. ? always struck me as odd...
even if it's credit, as opposed to cash, it's still money.

Great work Dave, time to show those cat's who's boss
Are the Kzinti related to the Caitians?

Thank you!
The Caitians are an offshoot of the Kzinti, evolved from the survivors of an early and failed colonization attempt.

You're welcome
Ah, similar to the Vulcan/Romulan ancestry?

Oh beautiful work, The Polaris is a lovely design, one I am kitbashing by request of Jetfreak for Armada 2.
I also love the Kzinti design, very TOSish.

Thank you!
The Polaris is my design, the Kzinti ship is based on the little shuttle/ship seen in TAS. This one is bigger, about the size of a Connie saucer.

Well it's a great design and I hope my A2 version lives up to it. Jetfreak will no doubt be showing you it after I get it converted into the game.

I was going to say it looked quite a bit like the design in Man-Kzin wars

yes well, larry niven willingly allowed the kzinti to bleed from his known space into the trekverse. he was happy with that.

Red button: pretend to blow up ship, like they did with Voyager approx. 15,000,000,000 times...

I can't help it. After I saw that title I've got to quote McCoy...
