A tall alien in dark hooded robes points across a cavernous, futuristic space, giving directions to a group humanoids with cat-like heads. The Kif has gray skin, a long dragon-like snout, and red eyes. The Hani have muzzles like lions and ears pointed back. The hair draping from their cheeks forms modest manes, falling flat at shoulder length. The most prominent Hani stands with regal bearing while the rest of the group is poised for action on the ramp behind it. Exposed from the waist up, the lithe musculature of the Hani is covered in short golden fur. Its red pants are cuffed above the calf, and it holds a snubbed nosed laser pistol at its thigh. Accents of gold can be seen in a simple thin band around its upper arm and a thicker bracelet around its wrist. A dark furred ape-like humanoid stands above the pack with eyes lost in thought, closely following the directions of the Kif, while a bearded blonde human glances sideways toward the viewer.

A once grand planetary metropolis falls into ruin as massive pillars crash in every direction. Standing casually in the wreckage, an emaciated figure in harlequin garb leans back with knee raised as he plays a futuristic string instrument. A ridiculous ruffled collar makes him look clownish as does the clashing pattern of stars on his shirt and checker board pants, all white on red satin. A tattered pink handkerchief is tied about his calf, but his boots sparkle. His short blonde hair is tussled over a brow raised in question. With his head tilted, his eyes catch the viewer in a knowing glance. His lips are curled in an almost smile.

Above an empty swivel chair, a young man floats weightless in front of a bank of mainframe computers. One leg dangles down while the other is folded in front of him. His elbow rests there, propping his head in his cupped hand. His eyes roll as if lost in thought. The lights of equipment behind him give way to stars and the cloudy surface of a blue planet. Framing him—as if imagined or visualized—a spaceship resembling the space shuttle rendered dark gray and black intersects the glowing blue halo of the planet while its wings below become semi-transparent.

A leonine alien pauses in the buckled gap of a bulkhead door with finger on the trigger of its shiny laser pistol which is pointed up but at the ready. The metal above him is cool purple while lower in the frame yellow laser beams cross, kicking sparks where one intersects metal. Dozens of rings pierce the Hani’s ears and gold bangles hang from furry wrists. Two more Hani lurk in shadows of the space behind. Above them rises a tall alien with long dragon-like snout protruding from its hooded robe. It grips a long gun by the stock and clip.

A queen in ornate headdress and white feathered cloak holds out two metal trinkets. One is reminiscent of a biohazard symbol. The other is a star chart with two crosses. The beak of her mask and contour around her eyes stand out in muted gold. Otherwise the painting is very cool in tone. An opal is set on her forehead, over more feathers the sweep outward. White braid fall around her delicate, pale face. Placid green-blue water extends behind her to a sailboat and a tiered city that rises like a lopsided pyramid. A sun emerges from behind the city with another smaller orb not far ahead of it in ascension. In the upper right, a fan shaped spacecraft glides the heavens.
