Home of the deWulf universe
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
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
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
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
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
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
This plant doesn't really have a hard location where it exists in my universe yet, but it's something that I'll be saving for when I find a good locale and where it makes sense. The idea where this plant came from was looking at some mimosa pudica plants (the sensitive ones that have leaves that… Continue reading Sketches – Desert Spike
Nordhausen is at best barely habitable, and anyone who goes there isn't looking for an easy homestead. With a chlorine cycle in addition to the more common nitrogen and carbon cycles, it makes long term habitation and growth a challenging prospect. One of the reasons that Fenren go there even with the presence of an… Continue reading Sketches – Polymer Shrub
When I was writing about SPM Rollen looking out on the skyline of the deWulf capital city of Lowell (Turn 111), I wondered a bit about what did the buildings in that skyline looked like? This thought sat in my head for a while, and I played around with a few different concepts and designs.… Continue reading Sketches – Fenren Skyscrapers
Narilei ships represent one of my first experiments to get away from the more "ISO Standard" ship design that permeates the deWulf and Krak ships. It's in a lot of ways still fairly derivative, but this was one of my earlier attempts to make something different. The big "idea" is having the engines out on… Continue reading Sketches – Military Councils of Naril Space Ships
