Exodus - Stars at War by Clyde Caldwell (2006)

Painted by Clyde Caldwell in 2006, this artwork served as the cover illustration for the military science fiction novel "Exodus" by Steve White and Shirley Meier, published by Baen Books as part of the Starfire space opera universe. The painting portrays an Arduan alien noblewoman in golden ceremonial attire standing inside a bioship observation deck overlooking an enormous fleet of sub-light generation vessels. In the novel's backstory, the ancient Arduan civilization flees their impending home star's supernova in massive colony ships across millennia of deep space, eventually coming into lethal conflict with humanity and the Grand Alliance whom they fail to recognize as sapient beings.
