This is my interpretation of a new battle cruiser commissioned by ComStar prior to the Word of Blakes’ assault and conquest of Terra, forcing the most powerful Inner Sphere faction out of their home system: Sol.
It is called the CSV Oberon and it’s designed to hunt down and destroy warships; fitted with the latest and some innovative tech to achieve its goals, it had to flee the system or it would fall either into Robe hands or be destroyed.
It’s the story of its crew and this unique war machine as they travel across the Inner Sphere to regroup with ComStar forces on Tukayyid and protect this advanced warship at all costs.
Think Andromeda + New BSG + B5 + Farscape + Star Trek but in the BT universe.
The Oberon may be named after a fairy king in Shakespeare’s play A Midsummer Night’s Dream, but only a fool would treat this mighty ship with no respect.
I would go into detail about its abilities and functions but that would not be fair on the designer of this magnificent machine as well as the scribe behind the entire concept –
I based the ship off his inspirations for the design – namely the Re-Imagined Battlestar Galactica and the Omega Class Destroyer from Babylon 5.

The sense of realism here is truly great. I feel like I'm in shuttle transit on route to the ship. Once again, an attention-grabbing piece. Great work! I love it.
Thank you, it feels good to be back. It's inspiring to see that so many people have come up with such awesome artworks while I've been briefly gone, including yourself. It rekindles the fire and passion in my heart
The design is superb and it's so real looking ... awesome !
