Approaching Fralthi Target (June 5, 2018)

[ChrisReid]

Here's a couple of striking Wing Commander Movie concept images from around LOAF's previous Cloud Imperium office. They feature the Broadsword and one of its primary foes, the Fralthi. Look closely and there's some interesting notes about how the reinforced bow could be used for ramming. We don't often see this tactic employed by Wing Commander capships - short of a rare last ditch self destructing maneuver - but it would be an interesting dynamic to add in to capship battles. Star Trek Discovery had a pretty impressive combat ram last year, and it'd be neat to see more of that.

Good old Broadswords; not fast, but they got you home safe.

I like the second image the Fralthi. It reminds me the imperial ships from the former Battlefleet Gothic minatures game.
