Homage My last contribution is an homage to the one and only @pushfreight.bsky.social and battlecones. Not sure if it's even a Crimson Stars design, but maybe I can think of where to put it. It's essentially an oversized reactor and four heavy lasers. #spaceshiptember #SST #SST26 #3d #blender30 Sep 2026 15:33 +0000at://did:plc:e4euloac5th4b57y4r4y32e4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwqo47xbwk2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/commissar-tarkin.bsky.social/post/3mwnymuwke22l27. Guns! An older model of an Alliance cruiser that I spruced up a bit. It goes all in on kinetic weapons: two turret-mounted twin heavy naval railguns on the ring, three light ones on the main hull, 17 point defense turrets, the works. #spaceshiptember #SST #SST26 #crimsonstars #3d #blender29 Sep 2026 14:03 +0000at://did:plc:e4euloac5th4b57y4r4y32e4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwnymuwke22lhttps://bsky.app/profile/commissar-tarkin.bsky.social/post/3mwlccmemvs2j25. Missiles! The LRM-SP-11 is the Alliance's newest shield penetrator missile. This expensive warhead can generate its own power field, thus disrupting the target's defenses for a moment, enough to release submunitions into the breach. #spaceshiptember #SST #SST26 #crimsonstars #3d #blender28 Sep 2026 12:18 +0000at://did:plc:e4euloac5th4b57y4r4y32e4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwlccmemvs2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/commissar-tarkin.bsky.social/post/3mwl3tg4vps2fCrimson Stars: Chains of Command, Chapter 5, page 35 Spaceshiptember will continue, at least in part, until the end of the month, but I had to give up on doing every theme, lest I burn out completely. #art #comics #webcomic #crimsonstars #scifi #vampires28 Sep 2026 10:22 +0000at://did:plc:e4euloac5th4b57y4r4y32e4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwl3tg4vps2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/commissar-tarkin.bsky.social/post/3mwbmqpldgc2p22. Huge The 'Amaranth' is a jump-capable space habitat almost a millennium old. Millions of people, including some of the Alliance's best scientists, live onboard.

Organic Despite looking like it, this is not a flowerpot stuck in an asteroid. The Ancients tried to grow Dyson trees, and some results still survive.

Armored The Linebreaker is the League's assault ship, designed to quickly close with the enemy, protected by its armored shell, and then let loose with short-range plasma cannons and missiles when it's passing through their formation. #spaceshiptember #SST #SST26 #crimsonstars #3d #blender22 Sep 2026 20:36 +0000at://did:plc:e4euloac5th4b57y4r4y32e4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mw53d2ekss2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/commissar-tarkin.bsky.social/post/3mw3p2hup3c2w17. Variant The Stiletto is an up-gunned version of the Dagger: small craft hangar replaced with a particle cannon, number of gun blisters increased, casemate turret attached.

Luxurious This unimaginative design, an unholy offspring of a vibrator, a submarine and a Cadillac automobile, is the 'Dura Navis', a relic space yacht belonging to the Margrave of planet Xanadu, a neutral porto franco of sorts. #SST #spaceshiptember #SST26 #crimsonstars #3d #blender19 Sep 2026 18:05 +0000at://did:plc:e4euloac5th4b57y4r4y32e4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvvbioe7fs2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/commissar-tarkin.bsky.social/post/3mvs5nenr322vWay behind schedule, but not giving up. 14.

Carrier The Cervid K-77 serves as the mainstay bulk orbital lander of the Three Stars Alliance. Not designed for combat drops, the K-77 sports four articulated engines and has most of its midsection occupied by fuel tanks. #spaceshiptember #SST #SST26 #crimsonstars #3d #blender17 Sep 2026 14:54 +0000at://did:plc:e4euloac5th4b57y4r4y32e4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvpvvopa2k2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/commissar-tarkin.bsky.social/post/3mvkpeuljl22c12. Slender/thin The Prosaic Angel, a heavy cruiser of the Auric Kingdom. Flagship of the Duchy of Lacerta during their brief independence and war with the Alliance. Still at large.

Dropship Finally caught up with the date! This is a Canid-class dropship, capable of carrying a platoon of infantry, or two armored vehicles from high orbit onto the surface. High speed, low life expectancy.

Space Station A fairly run-off-the-mill Three Stars Alliance waystation, which can have up to 12 capital ships docked simultaneously. The habitation ring has rotational gravity.

Red The 'Carmine Queen' was the flagship for one of the most notorious vampire warlords of yore, Gabriela Claudia Oxtas. Merely a cruiser, this ship could easily go toe-to-toe with a dreadnought.

Mining It took way too long to make it relative to how plain it looks. A crew of three is packed into a tiny command section, but it has it all: lasers to cut rocks, harpoons to tow them, manipulators to pick them up.
