Description
A Concept shot i made years ago to test out the Archein Drone model.
The drone was made for a Star Trek Fanfilm named "The Legacy of the Archein" which was released in March 2024. In this the Crew of the USS Euderion explore the ruins of the extinct Archein species and in flashbacks the final days of the Archein reveals itself.
The finished 50 min film can be watched on YouTube (german with english subtitles): https://youtu.be/WSqRHb4ohXE?si=jdHeL53jOl3isgAO
The drone model was actually just designed as a filler. It was a quickly constructed model to add a little more movement to the opening battle scene between the Archein fleet and the Swarm. Here and there, smaller squadrons of Archein drones flew around without being properly seen. It was only towards the end of the production of the fan film that my co-producer Sebastian aka @Stargazer1987 apparently had a little more time on his hands and started to render a drone animation of them launching from silos and attacking the USS Euderion.
He has parts of the animation here on dA:
Build and rendered in 3ds Max
"Star Trek Euderion" was a german written fanfiction series from 2003 to 2008 and is today known as "Euderion - Infinity", a small fanfilm and Cosplay group who creates no-budget fanfilms on a regular basis. The USS Euderion is our name-giving ship.
