Presented here is a spherical spaceship investigating two rogue planets. Their binary dance creates a tidal tug-of-war, producing cryo vents that feed their ring systems.

Along with arrays of sensors and ports, the spaceship design features flaps that deploy for stability during interstellar flight and landings. The center band protects a centrifuge, the lower section houses the engines and radiators, and the upper section contains windowed free-gravity suites and storage above behind a massive deflector shield.

Modeled in Blender 5.0.1, Cycles render. For the model’s textures, a grunge texture from [Textures.com](http://Textures.com) was used on the ship materials, images from JPL were used as the basis of textures for the rogue planets and rings, and the background starfield is from ESO. The cryo vents are purely procedural.
