Continuing the series on Building a Navy, once the Fleet Missions have been decided, the next stage is Fleet Design. Here the actual decisions are made about what the navy will use in order to accomplish them. The Chart Defined Fleet Missions combined with the Fiscal Environment determines what the Fleet Design is. deWulf Fleet… Continue reading Building a Navy – deWulf Navy (4)
What's happened so far July was a fairly messy month, mostly because a lot of it was following along behind June with a mop cleaning everything up that had happened, and because it was also prepping up for my trip to Gencon. That meant cleaning up everything and getting as prepped as possible for the… Continue reading July/August 2022 Sitrep
By the time the Terran Commonwealth was something more than just a pipe dream in the halls of power, the local sphere of space around Earth was packed with orbital workshacks, habitation stations, power beam arrays, and an ever increasing layer of debris that persistently increased despite the best attempts of everyone to keep it… Continue reading Sketches – Sol 4: TABK Yards
The O'Neill Halo at the Earth-Sol L5 point was one of humanity's most impressive constructs, and is now one of its largest mass graves. A monument to the skill and drive and intelligence of the United North American polity, and a warning that some dreams came at too high a price. When the true leap… Continue reading Sketches – Sol 3: O’Neill Halo
Built in the late Commonwealth era, Kilimanjaro Station was the first step towards the eventual terraforming of Venus. Compared to Mars, Venus would be a much more substantial project that required an orbital presence. And unlike Mars, Venus did not have a pair of small moonlets that could be repurposed for the task. So Kilimanjaro… Continue reading Sketches – Sol 2: Mount Kilimanjaro Terraforming Station
Built by CERN as a replacement for the Lunar Supercollider (itself a replacement for the venerable Future Circular Collider), orbits in a geosynchronous orbit of Mercury. When it was initially assembled in the early years of the Terran Commonwealth the Solar Supercollider represents the single largest investment in high-energy particle physics in human history, and… Continue reading Sketches – Sol 1: Icarus Station

Generally composed of two distinct parts, an A and B component. Plant is connected via underwater/underground branching roots that send shoots/stalks upwards (rhizomes). Cluster is nominally one plant, though multiple… Continue reading Sketches – Moonflowers
What's happened so far Hey, this is getting done in the first half of the month! Progress! June has been a fairly slow month, though I've seen some progress. Especially it's been getting to be regular and steady progress. I was able to hit on half of my weekend schedule goals, which is better than… Continue reading June 2022 Sitrep
A type of schnapps, Kefler is one of the most broadly consumed alcohols in Fenren society, if for the simple reason that it deals with one of the biggest practical problems with high-alcohol drinks: the general dulling of perception and "slowing" of the mind suffered by the vast majority of Fenren. While many can (and… Continue reading Sketches – Bottled Kefler
