They don't win in the movie it ends with like a shot of the guy who got hosed off to tell the story leading an army. I don't know history so good I don't know if they won. Or if it's actually a thing that happened

E: I looked it up it was real and they lost

Also, that guy in real life was condemned by Sparta as a coward and eventually committed suicide.

The ship is a giant cathedral and looks 40K as hell though

Also, the FTL core is - by the artists' admitted intention - an imprisoned angel. A ball of fire surrounded by wheels covered in eyes.

I think the idea was going back to the biblical description of angels (well Ophanim a type of angel) that have been described as: "The four wheels had rims and they had spokes, and their rims were full of eyes round".

Although the poster said they wanted to seem like their was an angel captured in the center powering it, it does still fit.

Yeah, what I read was that the artist who created the drive core based it on the Biblical description of an Ophanim, then imagined one imprisoned by modern technology to serve as the ship's core, creating that.

I just finished watching Prey for the first time tonight, now that Hulu is on Disney+. Good poo poo, best Predator movie since the original imo.

Prey did not make the plot center on the aliens wanting to steal autism because it's the next stage of human evolution, and hence is inherently superior to The Predator imo.

I seem to remember a ship named after him but is not sure it's real or fictional.

There's been five.
