A ship of this design, the Alcyon, was shown to have had a cone and cylinder shape common to many rockets, with four fins at the rear. The bridge is located just behind the nose cone. Behind the bridge are two turrets with three cannons each, on the upper starboard and port side, with what maybe a single cannon on the underside of the hull. There is a docking bay behind the guns on the side of the ship. On the edge of each of the four fins is an additional engine with a cone at the front. The central engine appears to have four nozzles [1].
