PILGRIM'S CROSS

 

Deep space settlers known as pilgrims spent so much time in deep space that they developed a hyper-sensitivity to fluctuations in gravity.  This unique talent allowed them to navigate the "jump" points without the aid of mechanical equipment.  As a symbol of their religion they wore the tell-tale "Pilgrim's Cross".  Shown here with blade extended.

 

 

The motion picture "Wing Commander" was ill-received at the box office and let a lot of the die-hard fans down.  But viewed as a stand-alone sci-fi flick it really isn't all that bad.  I think they made a mistake straying from the Game's mythos.  I was such a huge fan of the games that I had to have this prop....and it is very well made too!
