As I have been going through my recent work, I have often found myself inspired by science fiction, both as a fan and as an artist. I have been pondering over the years, what my favorite science fiction spaceships were growing up. As I gave it some thought, I realized that my favorites were not what I thought they would be. Below are my top five favorite spaceships in no particular order.

1. Imperial Star Destroyer (Star Wars) - Sleek, deadly, and imposing. I always get chills every time I see it, accompanied by the imperial theme song.

2. B-Wing Bomber (Star Wars) - It is odd yet interesting. It may not be as pretty or imposing as the other starships from the series, but I always cheer for it every time I see it in the movies.

3. Starship Enterprise (Star Trek Next Generation) - Elegant and advanced. This is my absolute favorite from the Star Trek series.

4. Starship Yamato aka The Argo (Star Blazers) - A World War II Japanese battleship transformed into a spacecraft is nothing short of awesome. It's like the little engine that could kick your ass everywhere.

5. Y-Wing Fighter (Star Wars) - Elegant, dangerous, and multi-functional. If I had the choice of flying any starship, this would be my top pick.
