Oalthu 19: Legacy

The Oalthu Fleet. Vast trans-galactic space liners. Interstellar cities capable of FTL travel between the systems.

Over a hundred decks, from the massive engine rooms to the luxurious domed observation lounge. Massive. Magnificent. When in orbital dock around the various worlds where they make port, the Oalthu ships have been known to cast eclipsing shadow-paths across the planetary surfaces below.
