What do you think this sphere is?

The darker ships in the foreground are Vodyani from the looks of it, but what are the other ones?

Let the speculation commence!

There are giant green patches on the sphere, so I'm going to assume that this is a ecologist faction. Since the ship looks nothing like a Horatio ship it could mean that the Horatio are not ecologists like a lot of people assumed. Of course this only applies if this is actually a major faction and not some outdated art that has no relevance. It should also be noted that this looks kinda like a updated Automaton design with all the circle patterns on the ship.

My first thought after seeing the sphere was Sowers. 

I'm also getting both Ecologists and mechanical vibes, but I'm not seeing anything Automaton-like in it's design since their lore speaks of modular orbital platforms, not spheres.

Maybe they'll be a minor faction with a unique playstyle!

Wait, where did you find this? It's interesting, to be sure. Give the randomness of what minor factions are in each game, it's most likely a Major ship belonging to some new faction.

I found it. :p

If it's a major faction (for which I'm not yet convinced), and given the fact that we know what the rest of major factions would be, this could only belong to the "Timelords" then.
