Tears of Fire is a 2610 painting by Aaron Fring commemorating the end of the 第二次塔维因战争. After losing the Battle of Centauri, the remnant of the 塔维因 fleet incinerated itself in the atmosphere of their homeworld. The painting depicts these fireballs crashing into the surface of Jalan with the silhouette of an unidentified spectator in the foreground.[1]
As with most art, I wasn’t trying to depict the moment exactly as it was. That’s what I’d always done in the past but this was something so much more than the visual. There was so much complexity caught up in that action, from the Tevarin, for what it meant for us as a species, and what it meant to me. I just wanted to try and capture the feeling of that fraction of time. So beautiful and so sad.
—Aaron Fring
The painting was inducted into the UPE Historical Vault for Antiquity in 2633.[1]
Pop culture
While filming a segment for Whitley’s Guide's Intergalactic Aerospace Expo 2951 series, Jax McCleary (under pressure to increase show ratings) attempted to recreate Aaron Fring's work by exhausting paint out of the engine plume of an Aegis 救赎者 aimed at a rooftop landing pad in 新巴贝奇.[2] The results, however, were less than satisfying, creating a mess of color not at all representing the original masterpiece. The remnants of this stunt have not yet been cleaned up and can still be discovered by players.[3]
