Default Does This Look Familiar?

Hey folks. An idea for a race called the Venduu, arch-rivals to the under-construction Solarians, popped into my head this afternoon. I cobbled together a rough Escort (see attached), and apologize for the greyscale but I haven't gotten around to the colour scheme/texture yet.

Problem is, both the ship and the name sound eerily familiar to me and I can't figure out why. If either one sounds familiar to anyone, can you let me know? Don't want to go stepping on anyone's toes by unwittingly copying their work and passing it off as my own...

Good to know it doesn't look like any other shipsets, but does it remind anyone of a ship they might have seen on a SF movie/TV series? Still can't shake that nagging familiar feeling.

I dont think so and I have watched alot of Sci-Fi movies (especially older ones). I think you are in the clear. (though that is not a legal opinion by any stretch of the imagination.)

Kinda reminds me of a Highliner or something from one of the Dune TV movies or the Original Movie....Maybe not a ship...but something similiarly shaped...maybe the the container that housed the 'navigator'....
