Description
In 1984 Ronald Reagan started the Strategic Defense Initiative, a project to develop a new generation of space-based weaponry. Critics called it "Star Wars." Taking that as inspiration, I've been creating 80s spacecraft modeled after the iconic spaceships of the Star Wars franchise. Check out my TIE Fighter / Soviet space station.
Here's the X-wing (I need to come up with a name for it) as a USAF interception monolithic space station. It is armed with four interceptor vehicles that can rocket off to destroy Soviet satellites. The interceptors are based on the Inertial Upper Stage, which in real life was used by the Space Shuttle to launch interplanetary probes. Here, they get a more sinister application
