Guenevere, and the W'cn'oth battle cruiser C'noth'ra. DESCRIPITION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The background and all the maps used in the image were created in Fractal Design Painter 4.0, I also used a fractal pattern generator to use as the maps for the planets, explosions, and clouds on the planet. As for the actual models theselves I got real friendly with the 3D Lofter which helped me to create some of the more non-uniform shapes used in the models. Other than that everything else was pretty straight forward.
