## Prompt

Design the Bison, a small single-pilot Aeronautics Unlimited escort spacecraft. Its whole body follows an American bison: one massive, high shoulder hump, a low heavy head and a lean tapering rump. The front face of the shoulder hump carries four square rocket launch cells in two rows. The low head is the cockpit, with a wide window where the face would be. The bison's two short, thick horns are two small guns, one on each side of the head. A round active sensor dome sits on top of the hump. The rump tapers to two round drive nozzles with short radiator plates. Chalk-white hump, slate-blue rump, bare aluminum horns, ochre safety marks and cell numbers. One complete ship, centered with clear margin around it, three-quarter front view from slightly above showing the dorsal surface and one side; moderate lens; plain seamless light gray background; soft key light with gentle form shadows; matte finishes throughout.
