Cenayans: The Legacy


The namesake of the Legacy-fiction concepts is actually a renegade ship that is rumored to be the creation of the long-gone race, Cenayans; formerly the guradian race of the Council of Six and by far the most advanced of all known races, prior to or after the arrival of the humans.

Shown here is the first of all the Legacy sketches, the first ship designed for this fiction.

Aside from my personalized race, the Procyons, color schemes have yet to be decided on other races and furthermore I felt it very nostalgic to post the image as is, seeing as it is the first of all my sketches.

The design is inspired from a host of sources, but most of all from ships in the Stargate series, as well as some Galactic civilization series and Homeworld 2. The key design feature is that a large number of weapons are concealed and the surfaces are largely smooth. This gives us that high-tech feel to it as well as emphasis on its agility and speed. Cenayans are an elagant race, unlike the haphazardness of Procyon or Fadrun design, or the bulk feel of Terran and Tortuns. Perhaps the closest to mimick the Cenayan aesthetics are the Larsatay, but even so, Larsatay smoothness exhibits a sense of vanity and organic feel, whilst the Cenayans are about simple elegance.
