"TSF Tanhauser Crane" (named after naval hero of the Unification War that created Terran Hegomony) was one of the four new terran prototype ships build in Luna One Shipyard at the beginning of the first Martian rebelion called later "Homefront Wars". Tanhauser however was the only ship that escaped martian raid on Luna. Commanded by young captain Horatio Creed, Tanhauser became a real legend. Eqiped with only one offensive weapon, newly developed Particle Beam Cannon, it followed simple yet very effective hit and run tactic. Tanhauser was powered by four huge JumpEngins, however during the cannon reloading process those engines were turned off and nine smaller standard cruise engines kicked in, making the ship slower but still maneuverable. Tanhauser and its crew gained biggest fame after the final battle of Homefront Wars when it sunk seven martian Ares class battleships making only two jumps. Unfortunately this ship was destroyed during the Second Martian Rebelion, there was no survivors. After splendid victory over TSF fleet, terran Hegemony ceased to exist in solar system, which was taken over by newly formed martian government, however memmory of captain Creeds crew and his ship gained recognition in Martian Space Museum on Mars.

Since I wasnt happy with the previous version of this ship I decided to add few more details to the render, so here is the result (thou I'm still have some doubts about the lights so if you have any suggestions I will be more than happy to hear them) made in 3ds max7 with brazil (if you want to see "naked" mesh of this ship go to [link]) background image made in photoshop, "dying planet made in 3ds
and remember critique is always welcome
