That's an in-joke of massive proportions. The guy who designed it must be laughing to himself by now 

[TordelBack]

This must be an obscure  reference to some movie I haven't seen...







"Now witness the firepower of this underfunded and half-built battlestation..."

Is it Star Trek? I'm a bit lost here.

No, it's Star Wars, I'm guessing.  Can't remember that bit, I can't watch them any more since Lucas virtually put a match to them.

It's Star Wars.
It's the Emperor's living room. See "Return Of The Jedi" for a better look.

May I jog your memory, sir? 

[Peter Wolf]

Is it 2001 ?

No idea otherwise.

[Tweak72]

Or a Tie Fighter cockpit

[TordelBack]

Or the window Luke falls out of on Bespin.  But I think 'observation cuploa on space station' does tend to make one think of the Emperor's Death Star throne room.

[The Doctor Alt 8]

Hmmm I was wondering when I was posting that info on the Space science section of my site why that window looked familure...

Is it the view from inside a plughole?
