Prompt

Heroic starship captain standing tall and proud on a high-tech command platform, his posture commanding and resolute; futuristic navy-blue uniform with silver trim, rank insignia glowing subtly on the chestplate; clean-shaven, strong-jawed, with piercing eyes locked on the unfolding battle beyond. Ultra-detailed science fiction illustration with cinematic depth and crisp design elements; bold, dramatic character lighting with reflective metallic accents and subtle bloom. Rendered in the refined sci-fi realism style of Chris Foss, John Harris, and Ralph McQuarrie, with an idealized balance of heroic scale and painterly atmosphere. Vivid space battle rages in the background: distant capital ships exchange energy volleys, fighter craft streak past in arcs of ion fire; glowing debris and shield flares punctuate the void. Color palette includes deep navy, slate gray, and cool blues for the captain and platform, contrasted with vibrant reds and fiery oranges in the battle scene; space lit by explosions and starfield. Frontal portrait-style composition with the captain centered in frame, three-quarter standing view, starfield and battle receding behind him in epic perspective. Majestic, epic, breathtaking.

More about Duty Outlives Flesh

Recovered from the final visual log of the battle over Orpheus Gate, timestamp incomplete.

His ship had already begun to disintegrate around him. The fleet’s signals were gone, their
echoes scattering across the ion storms like prayers through static. He stood on the bridge
not as a man, but as a witness.

In that moment, with the horizon burning and every system failing, he routed the last of the
ship’s power not to weapons or shields, but to transmit a single pulse: a coordinates burst —
the place where they might still begin again.

He did not survive the transmission, but for twelve generations, that signal guided the
survivors home.

The signal outlived him.
The legend outlived the signal.
