A tropical island, with its surrounding waters, resting on top of a giant plate. The plate and the island on top of it are actually a starship: forcefields are used to retain a surrounding atmosphere, clouds included. The forcefield is also used to generate a small sun by heating up hydrogen, that illuminates the plate's island surface.

A Restrictor Drone, shaped like a white sphere with pulsing, hexagonal blue patterns, generates a hexagon-shaped 3AD-shield to defend itself from a particle beam, deflecting its flow.

27th century spacers
Illustration depicting three genetically engineered "Spacers". There's several bits of text around them but unfortunately it all doesn't fit in the character limit for the alt text... Then, in the bottom right corner: "Spacers are one of the more ambitious human genetic engineering projects to come out of the Wildfire Sequence. While most other projects were more interested in "improving" the base human design (sometimes these were legitimate improvements, like a better ability to fight cancer. Other times it was just eugenics), Spacers were one of the first attempts to design a body plan that excels in a specific environment. Techlord Otok Garliste announced the project in late 2522. The logic followed that by eliminating the necessity of artificial gravity, ships could save mass by no longer carrying complex centrifuges. 12 years later, and after many moral atrocities (some prototype designs didn't last more than a year outside of artificial wombs, others still were born with all manner of deformities), the project was announced a success. Over the coming decades Spacers would diffuse throughout society to the point of ubiquity. Towards the end of the Wildfire Sequence, Otok Garliste was unceremoniously executed alongside a few other techlords, during the coup of Frexdan Orbital 01 in 2570. Unfortunately the person who pulled the trigger was not a Spacer themselves. Spacers in the modern day prefer to live under 0.1 to 0.3 gees. Actually living in freefall is generally considered a pain in the ass, and is only done when necessary."

resting on a neutron star... the gravity pulls down like a weighted blanket, the surface is warm and the little millimetre-scale deviations are fun to run your fingers across, the view above is a hypnotising cascade of blueshifted starlight rushing overhead
Three-panel digital illustration depicting a person laying down on the surface of a neutron star. In the first panel on the left we see them from above, hands rested on their stomach, looking up in awe. Their body is lit from beneath by the neutron star's glowing surface. In the middle panel we see a close-up of their hand, which is now tentatively touching the surface. Small lumps and dents are visible in the otherwise stark white ground. In the third panel on the right we see what the space above looks like, with numerous stars tinted blue and with a lot of motion blur applied to them.

Another excellent realistic space warship design for @macspace.bsky.social's EMEZ setting: the Shén jiàn-class corvette equipped with all-ascpect phased array radar, large RCS thrusters and multiple CIWS guns.

An enormous relativistic ark driven by magnetic mirror fusion engines, carrying the remnants of humanity across many lightyears to safety.
Realistically, it is better to stay on Earth, but it's evocative scifi nonetheless.

This is the JSDF of 2140: a semi-autonomous warship constructed on the moon and escorting spacecraft with a 180mm railgun and multiple VLS cells.
Glowing hot radiator panels losing out to reflected sunlight is a nice touch.

The BAE Systems 'Laser Developed Atmospheric Lens' concept:
www.aerosociety.com/news/giant-l...
An onboard laser is used to shape a bubble of air into a lens using the Kerr effect, turning it into magnifying glass for observation or a shield that de-focuses incoming beams.

Day 9: Hunter

A remote, signal collecting spacecraft makes a low pass over Despina. Her antenna is turned away from noisy Neptune, facing outward into the high orbits... listening sharply, hunting.

She is one of many thousands in the outer Solar System.
