The voyage ended. The memory remains.
At Halcy-Con 2025, writer Casey Dey — known aboard the Halcyon as Salihn — is gathering memories from across the galaxy: smugglers, captains, engineers, Jedi, and everyday heroes who once walked those luminous decks.
You’re invited to preserve yours.
Record your favorite Starcruiser moment (free, ~2 minutes). Then, if you choose, commission artist Nelson Ruger to transform your memory into a mid-century modern portrait of your Starcruiser character — paired with a custom-written narrative drawn from your own voice.
How It Works
1. Share Your Story (Free)
Reserve a 2-minute recording slot with Salihn at Halcy-Con.
If enough stories are gathered, we’ll publish The Starcruiser Memories Anthology — available for purchase after the convention.
2. Commission Your Portrait (Optional, Paid)
Choose your illustration style:
-
Line Art – Clean black-and-white illustration
-
Greyscale Halftone – Vintage-inspired halftone shading and mid-century print textures
-
Full Color – Rich, mid-century modern palette with dimensional detail
Every commissioned portrait includes:
• A 150-word narrative written by Casey, adapted from your recording
• Custom typography integrated into your artwork
• One-character illustrated portrait
After purchase, you’ll receive a short intake form requesting your photo reference.
Artwork is created January–March in a first-purchased, first-served queue.
