News from 5th & Rugged

Art has always been my compass, guiding me through the brightest and darkest moments. But there was a time when the canvas felt too heavy, and the colors seemed to fade. Discover how a journey aboard the Galactic Starcruiser reignited my creative spark and led to the creation of the Halcyon Collection—a tribute to resilience, connection, and hope.

Think the Halcyon story begins and ends with one saga? Think again. The Halcyon Collection is a universe of its own, packed with nostalgia-drenched throwbacks, daring new visuals, and hidden gems for every traveler who ever walked the decks. It’s more than art—it’s a visual log of an unforgettable voyage. Ready to explore beyond the main mission?

The journey continues! We’re back and heading to Halcy-Con 2025 with exclusive Starcruiser Fan Art and a massive holiday sale. Discover our next chapter and get ready for incredible deals on original art. Come aboard and read the full story
