We’re making custom manufactured, hand painted models of FIVE of the ships from the Starships Universe: We’re building the Citadel-class battleship DSS Argent, the Pershing-class advanced strike cruiser DSS Fury, the G-85 First Generation Tarantula Hawk Gunship, the Proximan battlecruiser HMAV Jaal, commanded by Lord-Captain Gael Oakshotte, and the entire formation of 2G Yellowjacket fighters from Squadron Nine. You might know them better as the Bandit Jacks! Each fighter will have custom warpaint to match its pilot’s callsign!
Cold Beverage Studios is designing each ship using specialized 3D software. We have a local manufacturer ready to build and paint the models and their display stands. We’re making collectible quality numbered first builds available to readers as campaign rewards. You can have an authentic officially licensed Starships Universe collectible spacecraft on your bookshelf!

I launched Build a Starship to raise funds to adapt all of my books to paperback formats. Like all authors I know readers appreciate choices, especially when it comes to formats. Some folks like the convenience and portability of digital, but others like to hold books, put them on a shelf and not have to worry about battery life when they’re reading! I want you to know Shane is right there with you. When the campaign is funded, we can bring the Starships Universe to the printed page in an affordable format that maintains the quality level you’ve come to expect from my store. We’ve already made tremendous progress:
Strike Battleship Argent has already been released! The story that launched the Starships Universe is now available as a signature edition hardcover, a signature edition paperback, a full length remastered audiobook (over nine hours) and in the original digital edition that took the science fiction world by storm ten years ago in October!
Let None Return Alive was also released as a signature edition paperback in January! This is the title that kicked off Destroy All Starships with a thunderous battle in the Core Seven system and the introduction of three new alien factions! That’s two of my most popular titles so far, and we’re just getting started! Battle Force is slated to be released in February 2026!
Build a Starship funded in one day. We hit two stretch goals in a couple of weeks We hit FOUR in a month! My original plan was to adapt Starship Expeditionary Fleet for a paperback collection. Now I’m in a position where releasing the entire catalog in both paperback and hardcover is within reach. So I’ve added two new stretch goals and added extra clock, but time is limited! Here’s how you can join us today and make what we’ve started even better:
Join the Engineering Tier – Contribute $7.40 or more: I’ve set aside the electronic edition of the upcoming DSS Argent Starship Technical Manual as a reward for your fine efforts. Help us continue our expansion into paperbacks and enjoy a premium bonus!
