#1950s throwback

[duscarasheddinnswriting]

This is the Deck Hawk. It was supposed to be a play on the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars, but I shortened “decade” into “deck”.

Yes, it’s a 1950s style flying saucer. That’s why its name in-game is 1950s Throwback.

In my story "Josephi's Savior", this is the design of the Deck Hawk that a Spesh Captain named Stitch owns. His pilot is a Spesh woman named Poppy and he has three more of his own species aboard. All are Spesh men and their names are Seymour, Hively, and Sharp. Also living on board are an individual of each species the Spesh Empire is allied with. Representing the Girtha Bertha Empire is a woman named Zoe. The Crolos Empire is represented by a man named Takagaki. Miyu is a Scorpion Lord woman who represents her species' empire on board. Felix, a Leafy Kyrozi man, represents his empire aboard the Deck Hawk. The final one on board is an Arclart man named Yon.

The Deck Hawk also leads a fleet composed of spaceships belonging to the other five empires, each of which has five of its species aboard (a captain, a pilot, and three posse members). The Crolos Empire pilot a ship model called the Practicale (made in Spore by MaxisKSeid, one of many Maxis employee accounts whose creations fall under Maxis Made in the online Sporepedia). The Girtha Bertha Empire has a ship model called Sovkaan following it (which comes pre-installed with every copy of Spore). The Scorpion Lord Empire have the Redraff (made in-game by MaxisGuillaume). The Leafy Kyrozi Empire has a spaceship called the Celestial Snake in the fleet (made by Rebecca1208 aka DarkEdgeTV). The Arclart have a replica of the Megazord from Power Rangers (made by "Davias" in the game).

The Deck Hawk itself is bigger on the inside, though not to the same extent in all of it. The description in-game (and in the screenshot) lists various things you can do with spaceships in Spore's Space Stage.

#ThrowbackThursday A lot of scripts, written by the late Clyde Bruckman for the first 10 episodes of “The Buster Keaton Show,” which aired for the first time 73 years ago today.  Unbelievably, they sold at auction for less than $200.
