So it's halfway into August and I'm finally getting the July Sitrep out. Still, better than last month! Progress! And then we'll see where we get in September as well. The situation, such as it is, is continuing to improve, albeit slowly. One new challenge that has come up is WordPress rolling out a new… Continue reading July 2020 Sitrep

Sketches – Planet Fenris Mk1
Unlike the previous bit of worldbuilding, I know exactly which planet this is. Fenris has gone through a few revisions, but this was the first time where I settled into a collection of landmasses I'm happy with. After doing a few other test drawings (that really were just practice runs) I ended up rolling with… Continue reading Sketches – Planet Fenris Mk1
This great and noble undertaking…
dWS Hans Zollner Director Mk4-Class Heavy Cruiser Warp Point to Elysium Dave's World Star System Standing in the cramped command suite of the heavy cruiser, Junior PackMaster Markus Phelan cursed softly as he looked at the fleet displayed in the holotank. Not the first time he'd led fleets and thousands of Fenren to their deaths… Continue reading This great and noble undertaking…
Sketches – Unknown Planet
Part of any kind of world building is, well, actual world building. Truth be told, I'm not actually sure which planet this is, if it is one. I've crosschecked the numbers versus my references, and nothing I have is the right number of plates OR the approximate hydrographic percentage. So I think this is a… Continue reading Sketches – Unknown Planet
Sketches – Elysian Mars-Class Battlecruiser
The Mars-Class Battlecruiser was the first new ship that the deWulf met in their continued war with the Elysians. Not seen during the initial attack on Dave's World, its first combat appearance was just before the 2nd Battle of Dave's World, when the deWulf fleet encountered a single Mars-Class fleeing the system. Captured by several deWulf… Continue reading Sketches – Elysian Mars-Class Battlecruiser
May-June Sitrep
So here we are now with a combined May-June sitrep, that's frankly getting a little close to wedging July in as well (so rather than it being a monthly sitrep it was looking almost like a quarterly one. Unfortunately the issues I spoke about in my last sitrep are pretty much continuing, though they are also… Continue reading May-June Sitrep
Sketches – Elysian Hydra-Class Carrier
The Elysian Hydra-Class Carrier was the first major surprise that the deWulf met in combat with the Elysians, and they provided that surprise by destroying an entire Zitadelle-Class defensive station in the opening strike of the war. While combat small craft were technically in service, the combat dropships of the deWulf Army were at best capable of… Continue reading Sketches – Elysian Hydra-Class Carrier
Next Steps
Terran Dominion Warship Casa Loma Frontier of Terran Space, Jan Mayen System 5 Jumps from Sol Casa Loma hung in low orbit, her survey sensors tucked in alongside her hull as she rode above the grey planet beneath. Onboard, the squadron commander had his plate full of substantially more than he had ever expected to… Continue reading Next Steps
Sketches – Elysian Hades-Class Heavy Cruiser
One of, if not the first armed warships of the Elysian Imperial Fleet that the deWulf identified, the Hades-Class is both a more and less advanced design compared to the Director-Class ships that serve in the Corporate Navy. In contrast to their blocky, slab-sided ships, the Hades has smooth lines that flow from bow to stern, featuring… Continue reading Sketches – Elysian Hades-Class Heavy Cruiser
Sketches – Radioactive Melons
The Globo Rebidus Radialis is one of the odder plants yet discovered by the deWulf, a plant that seems to have grown to take advantage of an abnormally high amount of Uranium-236 across most of a continent. While most plant life has proven to be uniquely radiation-tolerant (and thus the source of several breakthroughs in… Continue reading Sketches – Radioactive Melons
