Count Snaps Back (December 28, 2025)

[Bandit LOAF]

We only just reported on their Bearcat and CountvonSchnaps is already back with two more classic takes on Wing Commander ships... this time the Dralthi and the Krant from the original game! That's right, they've gone furball. I'll always argue in favor of two cockpits for the Krant... but these are still pretty wonderful. Enjoy!

Wing Commander II: Dralthi (DeviantArt)

Another Wing Commander design and this time a Kilrathi design! Again thanks has to go out to Shoguneagle for commissioning me to make another iconic design.

The Dralthi medium fighter has seen many iterations during its long service history. The one depicted here is an early Mk I version. Armed with two laser cannons, 2x missile hardpoints and a mine launcher.

The Dralthi can be found at all frontlines during the Kilrathi-Terran war and was the most numerous medium fighter produced during the whole war.

Wing Commander II: KF402 - Krant (DeviantArt)

The second Wing Commander Kilrathi design made possible thanks to Shoguneagle for commissioning me not one but two iconic designs.

The Krant is like the Dralthi a medium fighter but is more capable as a light bomber then being a fighter. Armed with two laser cannons and 4x missile hardpoints or two Torpedo mounts.

When armed with the torpedoes the Krant is different compared to the regular doctrine of the Kilrathi Navy in that it will run when delivering its payload to re-arm instead of pressing the attack with its dual lasers.

Hope people like my view of the ship. Like the catamaran hull but lost the other cockpit in favor for additional sensors.
