The mothball fleet as it became known, featured ships that did not have the more sophisicated instrumentation of their modern counterparts and hence would not be affected by the Lagunan's disorientation weaponry. Spacecraft were sought from all corners of the Federation, of all ages, shapes and sizes. The scenes depicted here build upon the original artwork in the 'Great Space Battles/Laguna Wars' section of the book and provide a background for the scenes, battles and aftermath of the story.
