War in the Skies of Procyon C

-+

Most of the alien species reverted to barbarism in their struggle to survive the harsh conditions. However, those colonies that were able to survive, rediscovered lost technologies, and managed to build machines or domesticate lower life forms. Eventually craft were developed to ply the thick atmosphere of Procyon C, enabling the beings to break out of their locale. In the fullness of time these beings took their flying machines and flying steeds to fight battles in the lurid skies of Procyon C, in their struggle for dominance.

The Embassy of Procyon



This picture shows an embassy from the inhabitants of Procyon A to residents of one of its habitable moons. Such occasions were invariably tense, leading to extreme security arrangements. No life in Procyon’s binary systems originated indigenously, but the various intelligent life forms that colonised this system gradually lost their interstellar technology, and fought constantly amongst themselves for scarce resources. Their warlike interchanges were only matched by the system’s turbulent nature, prone to stellar storms and comet strikes.


Fans of early SF magazines may notice I painted this as a tribute to Frank R. Paul, a giant of early science fiction.
