Corvax-Class Rocket Launch Vehicle

The Corvax-Class rocket stretches upward in the control centre’s visual feed, its sleek white hull marked by a glowing blue launch sequence display. Characters react to the countdown with tense urgency, their focus shifting from verbal confrontation to the mechanical certainty of the launch. The vehicle’s cylindrical body tapers into pointed fins, its retro-rockets flickering intermittently as stabilization systems activate. The Doctor seizes on the distraction to corner Thawn over missing colonists, while Dugeen uses the launch to expose the regime’s hypocrisy. The air smells of ozone and electronics
