Kajin's blade, Indra-class corvette (fan design)

One more starship straight from my concept work based on the Winx Club animated series dedicated to fix mistakes and expand lore of the series. This is Kajin's blade, an Indra-class corvette formerly used by the state of Kangiten, populated by devas and located in northern Neutral worlds (closer to galactic core, but not far from Eraklyon border).

Corvette is a variation of an escort vessel. Smaller in size and more maneuverable, suitable for escorting small vessel groups. Sometimes used as a transport ship or assault craft (dependent on modifications). The smallest type of capital ships. Indra-class corvettes have been in use for very long time (they're believed to be in production since 17th century) by Kangiten's military. Unfortunately, since Kangiten system planets were rich with common and very rare recourses, criminal cartes eradicated almost all devas of Kangiten (using the Shaab stones to negate the devas' magic), leaving only a small group which moved to distant and isolated place. One of these survivors is Agathon, former policeman turned mercenary in order to sustain the remainder of his people and find a way to avenge the fallen ones. Agathon uses the single remaining Indra-class corvette which he christened Kajin's blade in the memory of his friend and mentor who perished in the purge of devas.

Indra-class corvette's design is mostly smooth and organic. The ship's bridge features seats for four crewmembers - commander, helmsman and two operations officers. Since Agathon is the only one who commandeers the Kajin's blade, he rerouted most of the ops stations functions to helm console, but left them in place in case he would team up with somebody (like members of the Alec's team or Winx). There's a conference room situated between the bridge and crew quarters. As seen on the renders, a table and all of the seats are levitating - devas use ambient force fields to keep several objects afloat (this technology is only applied to interior furniture, it's not capable of holding detached sections of the ship together like the melodian ships do). Indra-class ship doesn't have any means to land, it has to float high above the ground. As such, one can board the ship via tractor beam tunnel on the rear ventral section. One may also board the ship via airlock in case it's floating near the bridge or something like that. The ship's propulsion system contains a single particle engine that uses charged particles to generate thrust. The ship's wings contain vertical thrusters that typically used to hover in the atmosphere, but can be used to shift quickly up and down. You can also notice glowing caps at the front parts of the wings - they're particle collectors for FTL drive situated in them (yes, kinda of Star Trek-like nacelles, used only by deva starships in my concept). Agathon installed 8 Zenith-issued pulse plasma beam turrets as primary weapons and 2 missile launchers as secondary weapon for his ship. Originally Indra-class corvette had the ability to rotate the wings section along with the ring (similar to rotating wings of Kom'r'k class from Star Wars). However, this system was critically damaged on the Kajin's blade at some time, having Agathon to dismantle it and replace it with additional hull plating (you can see the blast point partially covered by plating at the place where the system got critical damage). There are also three additional blast points with the hull ripped over on wings and worn out paintjob and name inscription indicating that Agathon has used the Kajin's blade for long time during his travels and fights.

I didn't use any particular source of inspiration for this ship. Wings design are derived a bit from Star Trek Online's Kobali Samsar cruiser and the rear wing is inspired by Star Trek TOS Orion scout ship. Also took a bit from Razor Crest from Star Wars (as a worn out ship used for a long time by a mercenary from people whose homeworld suffered almost the same fate as Kangiten in my concept)

P.S.: Don't worry about the design. Despite its somewhat 'villainous' style, it isn't used that way. Agathon is mostly a friendly character with elements of an anti-hero.
