Kingfisher takes a hit from Void Shark's laser.
Mostly art, mostly spacecraft, mostly unbuilt or speculative.

Void Shark
Space pirates! First in an ongoing series of speculative spacecraft designs. I wanted to do a "realistic" take on a vessel for space piracy. Envisioned as a converted civilian craft (Kingfisher, second image foreground) cargo vessel powered by a NERVA-type solid core nuclear-thermal rocket engine. The pirates have added high-power radar, uprated RCS, armour plating, 20 MW laser generator with three beam directors, and large radiators to handle the excess heat. Oh and a sweet skull-and-crossbones paintjob to strike fear into the hearts of their enemies.
