I'm betting this a Spaceships conversion of the Advanced Interplanetary Ship that Freeman Dyson and the rest of the Project Orion crew dreamed would be operating in the distant future of 2009.

The Palomar-class seems to be a Star Trek: The Next Generation Galaxy-class starship. The Odyssey, despite the absence of a homicidal AI, looks like the Discovery from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Any other easter eggs anyone has noticed?
