I didn't realize these were published books. I found them online for my Palm
Peanut Reader. They are great, and the graphic of the impeller wedge is what I
imagined only a GREAT deal larger. I imagined the ships a bit more beautiful,
since they are described as such. The book I am reading is set at Basilisk
station. Where am I in the series?

From the official diagrams in the books and at the link below, the ships are
rather "plain" I guess, and they tend to follow a set design no matter how
large (something to do with the physics of Hyperspace travel I think) but
they have a certain appeal - to me at least.  The largest ships are about
2km in length, so a Minifig scale is out of the question - but if you had
enough white pieces I think you could make a sizeable and detailed Microfig
ship?  I haven't tried...

Anyway, in case anyone is wondering what the capital ships look like, this
is the site of the official illustrator of the series...(apparently):

After seeing the books, I have to admit the graphics of the ships did lack some of the elegance I expected, but oh well... :) On Basilisk Station is the first book of the series, and it continues as follows: The Honor of the Queen The Short (...) (23 years ago, 26-Nov-01, to lugnet.space)
