Sometimes I do a lot of little sketches on a single page, and instead of breaking them all up into their own sketches, I've decided to put them out on a single page. The two upper left sketches are detail ideas taken from the Honor Harrington comic that came out a couple years back. I… Continue reading Sketches – Random Technology 1

Sketches – Elysian AA Battery
The Trident Elysian Air Missile Battery is the standard fixed AA emplacement used by the Elysian Army. Packing six Trident multi-purpose AA missiles in a revolver magazine setup for rapid-fire usage. Each warhead is fitted with a small "pinch-squeeze" nuclear warhead engineered for clean yield at the expense of raw power output (the logic being… Continue reading Sketches – Elysian AA Battery
Sketches – Plasma Gun Mount
An offshoot of plasma torpedoes, the plasma cannon is a close range, hard hitting direct fire weapon. Instead of relying on energy beams (like laser or particle accelerators), or graviton projectors (more commonly referred to as "force" beams), the plasma cannon instead launches packets of high-temperature plasma contained in a kind of "static drive field"… Continue reading Sketches – Plasma Gun Mount
Sketches – Datalink Jammer
Datalink jammers aren't a technology that has been researched in the deWulf Universe (as far as anyone is aware of) but represent one of the few kinds of truly "offensive" ECM that is possible. Most ECM technology is deceptive by nature, working to conceal or modify emissions as opposed to actively trying to confuse or… Continue reading Sketches – Datalink Jammer
Sketches – Capital Plasma Torpedo Concepts
The use of "Capital" missiles by the Elysians put no small amount of pressure on deWulf corporations to develop an equivalent weapon. While the average plasma torpedo was roughly equivalent in yield, the Elysian missiles were longer ranged, harder to shoot down, and had a (comparatively) larger yield. While some of these issues could be… Continue reading Sketches – Capital Plasma Torpedo Concepts
Sketches – deWulf Capital Turret
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
Aback
Dear PackMaster Brand, I have been, until recently, a proud member of the production group at the Never Depot on Sif. As part of the initial development team on the molecular assembler technology, I was proud to not only have my thesis project accepted, but given enough funding to see it become the mature technology… Continue reading Aback
Sketches – deWulf Small Arms
The deWulf universe took one of it's early inspirations from the Aliens™ universe, and that kind of inspiration filtered down into the small arms as well. One part of which was the ubiquitous "smart gun". The challenge I had is that since the setting's a bit more advanced than the Aliens one, the question was… Continue reading Sketches – deWulf Small Arms
