Does the hump [on Crusader ships] have any practical purpose or is it just a stylistic choice?
Sarah McCullochVehicle Concept Artist
It's a stylistic choice on my end, because when we first did the Crusader, we looked at the Genesis Starliner and we wanted to keep some of its core shapes and things like that. So when we did the Starlifter and the Star Runner, we kept some of its elements. And one of the elements was that it had a hump on it, which we thought was pretty cool. So it kind of just transitioned across all of the new ones that we've done. And it looks cool. It kind of adds to its silhouette, which is nice.
