Description
“The Eternal Watchman:

The model is of the S.D.F Karybdis, the original flagship of the Severian Defense Fleet. Having served in defense of the Principate between 10 BBY and 07 ABY, the Nebulon B Frigate was captained by Lucian Niatinus himself during his early years of rulership. Originally labelled the Tyrant’s Hand, it was renamed after a fast moving channel on Sirmium to reflect the Principate’s secession from the Galactic Empire.

The ship fought in multiple engagements both prior to and following the Principate’s formation, typically against rival powers and pirate groups. Supporting the Defense Fleet as a light carrier, the vessel earned a multitude of battle honours for actions beginning with the Battle of the Orphan Gulf, which saw the total destruction of a slaver guild which had plagued the Principate’s worlds for fifteen years. Later conflicts would include the Osalner Landings, in which the Karybdis engaged and destroyed five corvette class raiders as it served as the sole orbital support for the 422nd Evocati in an attack on a pro-Imperial holdout.

Accumulated battle damage saw the Karybdis finally retired in 08 ABY and sent to a deconstruction yard, but a turbulent exit from hyperspace led to it being torn free from the tug escorting it. The Karybdis fell into orbit over the moon of Einboldt, in an act its former crew have claimed was a final bid for freedom. This action led to public attention and, after its orbit was stabilised, the vessel was converted into a museum ship.”

This was one of several pieces produced for a recent Dark Jedi Brotherhood competition, offering up a gift to the Principate. The reasoning behind this, and the creation process will be uploaded in a second document, breaking down how this was all put together. This is just the end result of all that.

To make this clear: This was far from my best work. I was working with an unfamiliar material, forced to move my work space more than eight times during construction, without the tools I would typically use, the paint brushes I would need for fine work, and against a crowded deadline. In that regard, while it isn't something I would typically bring up as an example of what I can do on my best day, I can look on it as what I am capable of when every single thing is going wrong around me. It's not fantastic, but it's still reasonably decent for its intended role.
