Star Wars models for DAZ
Images of available Star Wars models for your 3D rendering. Note that these are not downloads but, where possible, download links will be on the pages. Some are hi-res characters and clothing for G8 and G3 models, some are simple objects such as vehicles. I'm hoping this will be a fairly exhaustive look at both free and premium models available for Star Wars fans.

Description
The heighliner is a type of fictional starship used for interstellar travel in the Dune universe created by Frank Herbert. These enormous spaceships are the "major cargo carrier of the Spacing Guild's transportation system."
Duke Leto Atreides speaks of them in Dune:
"A Heighliner is truly big. Its hold will tuck all our frigates and transports into a little corner — we'll be just a small part of the ship's manifest."
In Dune, it is stated that Heighliner operation requires a Guild Navigator, who uses a limited form of prescience made possible by the spice Melange, to guide the ship at the very high speeds needed for interstellar travel. The later novels state that such travel requires both a Holtzman drive and a Guild Navigator. The drive uses the Holtzman effect to "fold space" and allow virtually instantaneous interstellar travel. The Navigator is needed to find a safe path through folded space and guide the ship. Navigators are confined to giant tanks, completely immersed in highly-concentrated orange spice gas.
Unable to land, heighliners jump from point to point, parking in planetary orbits. Orbital ferries or interplanetary spacecraft load and unload the heighliner. Special laws govern travel aboard a heighliner; heighliners are considered neutral territory and all acts of war aboard heighliners carry stiff penalties.
Heighliners are invented by Norma Cenva during the Butlerian Jihad. In the novel, heighliners are noted to be more than 20 kilometers long.
