ALL SCI-FI

This is my bashup of two 1/1000 scale Polar Lights kits to create the USS Abaddon, NCC-2124, an original series Goliath class dreadnought.

Backstory...
The second ship in her class and arguably the most powerful vessel in known space.
Launched in 2270 near the end of the Federation-Klingon Cold War.
Constructed inside a secret facility deep within the Rigellian asteroid belt thru a joint effort of Starfleet Command and Section 31.
Heavily armed and armored.
Hull is virtually indestructible with composite carbon-neutronium cladding and anti-proton beam weaponry based on the salvaged hulk of the Doomsday Machine.
Also equipped with standard, heavy, and mega-phasers.
Cloaking capability based on captured Romulan technology.
Uses a three layer regenerative deflector screen system.
Powered by dual warp cores and four fusion reactors.
Mission is to patrol the Klingon border and Romulan neutral zone, engaging and defeating enemies of the Federation and its allies.
Advanced tactical targeting sensors allow the Abaddon to lock onto and disable or destroy multiple enemy vessels simultaneously.
Acts as a "wedge buster" during fleet-to-fleet engagements, causing chaos and disarray within the enemy ranks.
Named for the biblical angel of vengeance and lord of the bottomless pit in Revelations.
Commanded by the legendary Karis Tatenen, aka the "Hero of Vonra" and "Destroyer of Klingons".
A brilliant tactician and tormented soul.
Lost his wife and eldest son ten years earlier to a sneak attack while they visited a colony on the Federation-Klingon frontier.
Dedicated to making sure the Klingons atone for their actions against the Federation... and his family...

Anyway, the pics:

VERY pretty ship! Looks like it could really kick butt!

Thanks Gord. Here's a new composite I just finished. I call it... Saving Sherman's Planet

Armed with secret intelligence warning of an impending sneak attack by Klingon military forces, the USS Abaddon leaves her hidden asteroid base circling Rigel to lead a Federation fleet in defense of Sherman's Planet. As the Klingons launch their assault the Abaddon decloaks and opens fire with heavy phasers on two L-24 battleships. Outmatched by the dreadnought's superior armor and firepower the Klingon formation falls into disarray. By the end of the engagement the Abaddon has destroyed or severely damaged twenty Klingon warships, almost single handedly winning the battle. It would be many months before any Klingon ships dared cross the border into the disputed territories near Rigel. Sherman's Planet was saved...
