When the deWulf Navy needs secure storage, they turn to the Never Depot. One of the earliest sustained military locations that was off-planet, this was where the the deWulf Corporate Democracy shipped any weapons of mass destruction after the unification war. While the weapons remained under Corporate Democracy control, the fact that they were stored… Continue reading Sketches – deWulf Never Depot

Sketches – deWulf Army Base
While the deWulf Navy gets most of the attention (and the funding) the simple truth is that nothing is yours until it's your boots that are on it, and not the other person's. And to that end, that means you need boots. Boots with guns, tanks, air support, logistics, and everything else that making sure… Continue reading Sketches – deWulf Army Base
Sketches – deWulf Stuka Attack Fighter
I think this was the first non-spaceship I sketched out for the deWulf universe. It's inspirations are pretty clear, as the name attests. It's dated far back enough that it's hearkening to when the deWulf were a lot more of a "Germans in space" thing than they are now, and I confess the name is… Continue reading Sketches – deWulf Stuka Attack Fighter
Sketches – deWulf Rassler Fighter
Another early sketch of mine, this one was part of the initial First Contact war that had deWulf and Sintillan forces fighting over a deWulf Colony. Given the state of technology, I imagined something akin to Battletech Aerofighters as the kind of combat aircraft that would be in service. A bit bigger, heavier, and without… Continue reading Sketches – deWulf Rassler Fighter
Sketches – deWulf Drop Pod
Admittedly, this concept is rather heavily based on what little we saw of the drop sleds from that old classic game Quake 2. While we never really saw much of Bitterman's pod, we did see a few other crashed pods, and we also got a much better look at the whole system in Quake 4.… Continue reading Sketches – deWulf Drop Pod
Sketches – deWulf “Stuttgart” Support Tank
The Stuttgart was first mentioned on turn 69, right after the Wulf Heavy Tank. One of the problems that the deWulf realized they had a good main battle tank, and some good light recon, but they were lacking mobile fire support. Especially something that could come in close and smother a target in precision firepower.… Continue reading Sketches – deWulf “Stuttgart” Support Tank
Sketches – deWulf “Wulf” Heavy Tank
The Wulf gets its first mention back on turn 69, as it's getting put through its paces on the test track, and this was the first ground vehicle that I worked out for the deWulf universe. It helped establish the basic lines for a deWulf ground unit: sloped armour all around, with a few hatches… Continue reading Sketches – deWulf “Wulf” Heavy Tank
Sketches – deWulf “Dachs” Recon Hover
The Dachs first got a mention back in Turn 96, as the deWulf Army was being pushed back into its final defensive lines on Dave's World. The Dachs is a light scout hovertank, and it roughly fills the same niche that a Wiesel does. I can't think of anything comparable in the American or Russian… Continue reading Sketches – deWulf “Dachs” Recon Hover
