Manufactured in a wide range of models, capabilities, and internal configurations, the deWulf Heavy Industries Massern-class passenger shuttle is quite literally the standard by which all other small craft are measured. While smaller than many other craft (including older air-breathing passenger and cargo haulers), the Massern's drive field propulsion system makes for substantially faster travel… Continue reading Sketches – deWulf Passenger Shuttle
The signature small craft in deWulf space, the Raumer Spaceworks Käfer is also the primary small craft carried on every deWulf Navy ship, from the smaller Augen-Class survey ships to the monolithic Sieg-Class Siege Dreadnoughts. Originally designed as a civilian small craft, its low cost and effectiveness quickly brought it into general Navy service. Unlike… Continue reading Sketches – deWulf Small Gig
Developed to counter Elysian gunboats, the Trans-Solar Armament Industries (TSAI) Muräne-class fighter craft was the first dedicated space superiority small craft fielded by the deWulf. Drawing inspiration from aerospace combat craft like the deWulf Industries Aspe-class, the Muräne fully embraces drive-field propulsion to make it an effective deep space combatant. The first and most visible… Continue reading Sketches – deWulf Space Fighter
Tiber Station was built by the Riverways Recreational Consortium in Sol. Designed from the outset as a recreational station, Tiber Station was the fourth in a series of six stations built to support already existing orbital station clusters by providing dedicated spaces to recreation and entertainment, spaces that were at best minimal on most other… Continue reading Sketches – Tiber Station
The Delft-Class Bulk Freighter is the antithesis of most other space freighters in service. Most freighters are higher-speed container ships; the Delft is a low-speed bulk cargo container. They were built not long after the first Landser-Class Battleships, leveraging the development of the warship frame for more commercial uses. Unlike the standard Zweireiner-Class Freighter or… Continue reading Sketches – Delft Class Bulk Freighter
One of the few things that really separates the Terran Dominion from other civilizations in the deWulf universe is their possession of Gravity Drives. While the normal drive field technology offers quite a few benefits compared to more "conventional" drive systems like chemical or charged particle systems, the gravity drive offers a similar leap in… Continue reading Sketches – Gravity Drive Concepts
A part of sketching is sometimes jut pulling random bits and pieces together. I forget where either of these were inspired from, I think some otherwise unremarkable comic book or website. Both of the images are pretty standard concepts, the first one a somewhat futuristic sensor tower. While the big spherical thing is more common… Continue reading Sketches – Random Technology 2
While most civilizations develop a host of similar technologies, some civilizations focus on perfecting and improving certain technologies. Sometimes these are entirely home grown developments, while other times they are a case of taking work already in existence, and advancing them to levels that their original creators never imagined. For the deWulf, there are two… Continue reading Sketches – Reactor and Assembler
Long before the establishment of the Faith of the Forge or proto-nation-states, the dominant faith was a lunar cult based around the cycles of Fenris' single moon, Sif. When the cult reached its zenith (shortly before the rise of the Forge), several dedicated lunar observatories were the preeminent centers of faith. The original name of… Continue reading Sketches – Medieval Castle
Neu Blarfstat was one of the older cities in Groenvelt, one of several industrial port towns that had come into existence during the industrial revolution. As the beginnings of modern chemistry, metallurgy and power generation took root, more and better shipping became paramount, and the small fishing village of Blarf found its old industries of… Continue reading Sketches – City Neu Blarfstat am der Zee
