it looks rather good. now can anyone explain to me what it depicts?

it looks like a moon (in the "that's no moon ..." vein) above a planet
(possibly the Earth), with a trio of spacecraft with green-trail-making
drives dropping an armada of interface craft onto the planet. in
addition,
something is happening to the moon: it looks like someone is shooting
it.
possibly up to three separate things (a blob on a line to the right,
three
blobs in the middle and something off to the right) are shooting it.

so, what is what and who is who?

this sounds like a job for .. the GZG-L public web archive thing!

ftp://ftp.xoom.com/

pass: nacesu

either bung i in the root directory or in a folder somewhere. provided
that this is clear on the copyright front, of course.
