#midjourney illustration for my Mongoose Traveller RPG campaign, planetary romance and persistent world, "The Starry Messenger". The airship FMS (Free Motile Ship) Aiwa II approaches the docking pylon at the floating city of Laputa, inside the Verdant Swamp Zone of the Proximian O'Neill cylinder world-ship, "The Starry Messenger" in alternate 2040. Imagine a magnificent, floating city suspended high above the clouds--Laputa, a marvel of advanced technology and organic integration. The city hovers gracefully, its foundation obscured by mist and the soft glow of anti-gravity generators. At the rear of the city, a grand docking pylon extends outward like a welcoming arm. An elegant airship approaches, its sleek hull crafted from polished metal and adorned with intricate designs. The airship's sails shimmer with iridescent colors, and luminescent propulsion systems leave a trail of light as it glides toward the docking station. The streets of Laputa are woven with crystal pathways that crisscross the cityscape, sparkling under the ambient light. These pathways glow softly, guiding inhabitants through the labyrinth of structures. Towering above are shimmering towers made of translucent materials that refract sunlight into a spectrum of colors, casting a kaleidoscope of hues across the city. Enveloping the architecture are phosphorescent, vine-like stabiles--living structures that intertwine with the city's buildings... Copyright (C) 2024 Henry Edward Hardy
