First Look at the IKS Dreamcatcher

The mooring clamps hissed as the shuttle slid smoothly into docking position.  The airlock light turned from red to yellow and finally to green, indicating that it was safe to disembark.  Admiral Starblayze pushed open the hatch and stepped aboard Massaro Deep Space Shipyard, which was stationed in an uncharted corner of the universe so remote that it can only be reached by a child’s imagination.  It was here, at a cosmic intersection of Imagination and Elbow Grease, that the IKS Dreamcatcher was being constructed.

Like its sisters in the Infinity Knights fleet, the IKS Dreamcatcher will bear its intrepid crews of bright-minded children to the far reaches of imagination and reality.  The stalwart construction crew give freely of their skill, strength, and sweat, for they know that the fate of the future rests upon the shoulders of the rising generation.

Admiral Starblayze beamed as he looked through the observation window and caught first glance at the Dreamcatcher.  Still in the early stages of construction, it shone like a beacon through the darkness.  This labor of love is progressing rapidly, and in only a matter of months it will embark on missions of learning and adventure unlike any other!

Massaro Deep Space Shipyard, also known as the new Penn Hills Elementary, which will open this fall and house the IKS Dreamcatcher

The entire school is still under heavy construction. Hard hats are required.

Visitors will first enter the Imaginarium room and be briefed about their mission. The Flight Director Control Room is in the back left nook.

After reviewing their mission, cadets will pass through a themed entryway on their way into the IKS Dreamcatcher.

This is a view of the main bridge after passing through the entryway. A row of stations will line the front, and a second row will sit along the raised platform in the rear. The command crew will manage the ship and crew from the raised platform in the center.
