(you can click and drag ships around too. Now how many are going to stick the Enterprise next to a Star Destroyer LOL! Now stick one of those Next Generation Romulan ships next to those two. )
 
Planetoid. It's what the Death Star wants to be when it grows up.

Really. Get a copy. My copy is damn near dog-earred to death.


Definitely get a copy of the Spaceship Handbook. Lots of fantastic information, it is hard cover and not that expensive. Got mine three weeks ago and it is a gold mine of hard to find detals.
 
Got both of them on a shelf not ten feet away. ;D Nice books.
