Thasos-class transport ship (fan design)

This starship also comes from Winx Club comic series - particularly, Issue 63, a part of Eraklyon rebellion arc. Adapted for my "Magix" concept work based on Winx Club animated series dedicated to fix mistakes and expand lore of the series, and called a Thasos-class transport ship.

One of the most common starship types used by officials, companies, military and civillians, transport ship is suitable to carry passengers and cargo. It is also able to participate in direct combat with correct modifications. Relatively old ship introduced back in mid 20th century by the Eraklyonian shipyards, commonly used as shuttles by various transportation companies. Mainly comes without weapons, but can be upgraded with them - no one would say a word about it. The ship shown in render is owned by Eraklyonian royal guard - just like the original ship in Issue 63. This ship is seen travelling to Red Fountain's main base and instruction center station and dropping off security guards sent as reinforcements for crownprince Sky. In concept, this ship now serves as a personal vehicle of Sky. The other one - heavily modified civillian one as a heavy fighter - previously used by Imlad, a zenithian civillian freighter pilot turned outlaw, father of Riven. Between seasons 6 and 8 Riven tracked down Imlad (as part of Riven's undercover mission in Neutral worlds, check description of Riven's Schedar for more info) and settled the score with him (since Imlad had negative influence on Riven during the latter's late childhood, which only worsened when the former started going outlaw; Riven swore vengeance for it). As Imlad was taken into custody, his ship remained adrift in the vacuum of space with its weapons and FTL drive permamently offlined by Schedar's plasma volley in dogfight, until it was found and taken by the Eridan, the ship of pilot plot's main antagonists.

Unusually for Eraklyonian ships, the Thasos class has a bit more organic design, inclined towards the Osprey-class transport ship used in Magix and Red Fountain. This ship has three main engines and three lifting ones. The ship's interior features only commander's station at the front with the operations station situated behind it. The variant seen in render supports 8 passenger seats with remaining space intended for cargo extending right to the two aft-facing windows between main engines. The wings act as sensor array extensions, they do not act aerodynamically. The entrance is located on both port and starboard, placed between particle collector and maintenance panel. There's an extendable ramp under each entrance for easier access to the ship. Most details remain the same as the original ship from Issue 63 (speaking of royal guard issued ship), with main exception of windows being more square, upper deck being removed at all, color scheme being split into golden and light grey as opposed to solid golden and wings being marked with signature arrow decal applied to Eraklyonian military and government ships (that can be seen on Cythera and Umbriel classes I've created earlier).

Yeah, I know, the ship doesn't look as the same as in the comic series. Frankly said, I've never had intention of creating the exact copy of the ship - at least something similar.
