Does This Look Familiar?

[AgentZero]

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...
