| Odonata Manaan This ship I came up with when I was imagining what spaceships would look like when the Selkath would decide to meddle in the affairs of the universe. The Selkath are a race from the Star Wars game “Knights of the Old Republic”, a game that takes place in the Star Wars universe, but even before Episode I, chronologically. The Selkath always try their very best to remain neutral in the conflicts between Jedi and Sith, and therefore, their waterplanet, Manaan, is a safe haven for people who want to take some time off from the war. Anyway, I thought “what if” and came up with the idea of their ships being modeled after creatures home to their planet. Mostly fish, of course, since pretty much all of the planet’s covered in water. But I thought they might have some insects, too. Dragonfly-like insects, for instance. Living on floating Kelp-islands, skimming the watersurvace loofing for small shrimps and algea. Anyway, I figured I’d spacecraft on a dragonfly, and here’s the result! Parts: 442 
I designed a system inside the ship to flip the ship’s wings from closed to open via a quick-release mechanism and some rubberbands(not shown on picture). I haven’t built this ship yet, but I hope to start ordering the parts for it next month. Due to the high parts-count, I might have to smear it out over two months, though Also, I’m hoping my quick-release-and-rubberband system will work. I’ll let you know if it does (or doesn’t)!
