In the wake of the First Contact War, the X-Ray laser mount demonstrated that it was possible to develop heavier energy battery weapons, though ideally without the hazards that the X-Ray laser weapons system generated. Even so, Sintillan technology showed the way forward in many fields, such as better lasing cavities, more robust and larger… Continue reading Sketches – deWulf Capital Turret

Sketches – Bomb Pumped Laser Bouy
The RB-4 was the first defensive space mine deployed by the deWulf Navy. Initially researched at the tail end of the First Contact War, the mine never saw widespread use either during the First Contact War or the following Binary War. Imperial Autonetics, the original manufacturer, bet on it becoming a standard fixture of the… Continue reading Sketches – Bomb Pumped Laser Bouy

This was a weird hybrid design between the previous Sintillan heavy tank, along with the real like KV-2 (which provided the overall turret lines) and the Shilka, which provided the role as well as the quad barrels. There's actually a model of something that looks remarkably similar to this for some Weird War 2 game,… Continue reading Sketches – Sintillan AA Tank

Notionally, these things are at best comically designed, way too tall and with side near-sponson weapons that probably aren't that effective at dealing with other, more realistic… Continue reading Sketches – Sintillan Heavy Tank
March-April Sitrep
Well, there was no March Sitrep, as you may have noticed. For that I apologize. I want to take a few moments to talk a bit about why, and how things are going here at Dollarton Proxima. What hit the fan My day job isn't writing, sadly. I work for a large freight company and… Continue reading March-April Sitrep
Sketches – Sintillan Shipyard
Another really old sketch, I can't remember what inspired the idea of having an octagonal shipyard, but it was one that very quickly grew on me. The original idea was that each side would have another shipyard slip, but quickly enough it became apparent that on the inside there could really only be two good… Continue reading Sketches – Sintillan Shipyard
