For Starbase Indy 2025, Novasterisk Voidstar of the Rave Station has partnered with Criobite and Clever Girl Designs (clevergirldesign.net). At the Rave Station, you can do 4 fun things, all of which help you shine. There are four lights!
Get "inked" with UV-fluorescent body painting and/or temporary tattoos. Learn about body markings in the Trek universe while you're there.
Acquire art prints and stickers of the creators' works, convention-specific goodies, SCP labels, and rave trades! A large number of 3D-printed shinies are designed (and printed) in Indy by the artistic minds and proto-replicators of CleverGirl Designs.
Commission Criobite to draw your OC(s) in an engaging sci-fi scene of your selection. A limited number of commission slots are available. See yourselves in action in the future!
Hands-On: you craft a "habitat" in a vial for the mysterious "Experiment X," attach it to your lanyard, and carry it around the convention so your new friend can see all the other Experiments! Hint: it likes to glow for dances and raves... It's just a little guy... wait, is this thing radioactive..?
