Other leaked images of this craft suggests that it looks remarkably similar to the Imperial flagship, Brunhild, from the original Legend of the Galactic Heroes OVA. That would be pretty cool.

If the ayylmaos do arrive, I wonder what they would think about some of the great works of the "space opera" genre in Earth's media. Allegedly some of our media and artistic works are highly regarded by some of those ET strangers, even compared to works originating from their society, and access to quality pieces of Earth's media and art commands a premium price and critical acclaim.
Personally, my favorite ships from the original LoGH series are the FPA Spartanian fighter craft. It would be nice if we can immediately find common ground with ET people from so far away, coming from such a different sort of civilization if we can all mutually share an appreciation for artworks and great stories.
