The Galaxy’s Finest

The journey aboard the Halcyon was more than a trip; it was an immersion into a living story, a galaxy of heroes, droids, and unforgettable moments. When the voyage concluded, the stories didn't end. They echoed, sparking a desire to capture that lightning in a bottle. Welcome to the Halcyon Collection, a gallery of art dedicated to the epic immersive experience that brought so many of us together. This is more than just fan art; it's a vessel to bring the adventure home, a tribute to the characters who felt like family and the moments that became core memories. We invite you to step behind the canvas and discover the inspiration and artistry that forged this collection.

Digital artwork of the Halcyon Starcruiser characters inside the Halcy-Con logo, set against a vibrant cosmic background with shades of blue, purple, and teal. The logo is surrounded by abstract geometric shapes and glowing stars, evoking a sense of adventure and nostalgia. The year '2025' is prominently displayed at the bottom in translucent light blue, with a handwritten signature in the corner.


A Halcy-Con Exclusive: Halcyon Eternal

Every collection begins with a spark. For this one, it was Halcyon Eternal. This piece is a love letter to the entire experience, a visual symphony of the ship and the stories held within its hull. The goal was to create a piece that felt both grand and intimate, capturing the majestic silhouette of the Starcruiser as it journeys through the cosmos. The process was one of deep nostalgia, channeling the feeling of looking out a viewport into the vastness of space.

This artwork is a special Halcy-Con exclusive, a unique memento for fellow travelers. Onsite stock will be extremely limited, so we are strongly encouraging pre-orders to guarantee your print. Pre-orders are open now through September 30! Secure this anchor piece of the collection and ensure your reminder of the timeless journey we shared.


The Upcoming Line-Up: A Galaxy of Characters

The Halcyon was defined by its crew and passengers. To truly honor its legacy, we knew we had to celebrate the individuals who made the story come alive. Here is a sneak peek at the upcoming line-up, a series of works that puts the spotlight on some of our favorite personalities from the voyage and beyond.

Retro-futuristic artwork of Pip-Boy Sammie, a cheerful mechanic blending Star Wars and Fallout aesthetics, giving a thumbs-up against a starry backdrop while he holds a wrench in one hand.

Pip-Boy Sammie: A Post-Apocalyptic Crossover

What happens when a dedicated mechanic from a galaxy far, far away finds himself in the Wasteland? You get Pip-Boy Sammie. This piece was born from a playful "what if" scenario, blending two beloved sci-fi universes. We imagined Sammie, with his can-do attitude, navigating a post-apocalyptic world with his handy wrench in hand. Crafting this piece was an exercise in stylistic fusion, combining the lived-in aesthetic of the Star Wars galaxy with the retro-futuristic design of the Fallout series. It’s a fun, imaginative tribute to a character who could fix anything, no matter the universe.

Diptych artwork of Lieutenant Croy, featuring 'Order Mode' as a stern First Order officer in uniform against a futuristic cityscape, and 'Vacation Mode' with Croy in Hawaiian shorts, flip-flops, and sunglasses, enjoying a tropical setting with a cocktail.



The Great Lieutenant Croy: A Study in Duality

Few characters commanded a room quite like Lieutenant Croy. Yet, beneath the stern exterior was a surprising complexity. The Great Lieutenant Croy is a tribute to that duality, exploring the man behind the uniform with a playful, tongue-in-cheek spirit.

Our "Order Mode" variant captures his formidable presence and unwavering loyalty to the First Order. But the "Vacation Mode" variant imagines his lighter side, placing him in Hawaiian shorts, flip-flops, and sunglasses. This isn't a mockery of the Order; it's a celebration of a character who could be both a devoted officer and a nervous fanboy squirming in the presence of pop megastar Gaya. It's an homage to the depth that made him a fan favorite.

Vacation Protocol: Droids on Holiday

Even droids need a break. The Vacation Protocol series is a whimsical celebration of our favorite mechanical companions enjoying a well-deserved, retro-futuristic getaway. This collection blends iconic sci-fi with mid-century modern flair, imagining droids like BB-8, K-2SO, and the humble Gonk on an island-hopping adventure. Each piece is infused with fun and vibrant energy, a reminder that even in a galaxy filled with conflict, there’s always time for relaxation.
