The armour of a Vulpine

A diagram of the basics a Vulpine pilot wears while on duty.

It all starts tomorrow.  Here’s a look at standard issue equipment that Lt. Senia Felix, Corporal Hardy Maynard and Corporal Clarfax Billings will take with them in this adventure, the prequel to Swift Fox and the Pirates of the Jackai.


The quotes!

The title of this week’s quotes is something that came to mind while I began writing it.  I usually will find something humourous when I begin setting up the post for interesting quotes, and in this case the first thing that came to mind was a line from a movie (or it could have been a book).  Sort of goes along the lines of “My eyes, my eyes!” or some such thing.  I’ll have to do some searching later on.  But imagine if you will, someone looking to the heavens and crying out “The quotes! The quotes!”  Do it out loud, it’s even funnier.

Rocket Fox: A final teaser

Tomorrow’s the big day.

That’s when the series kicks off with full earnest.

So today, here’s another teaser before Rocket Fox and the Great Critainian Library fully kicks off into high gear.

 The Royal Vulpine Authority Space Port was more than just a military installation. There was a civilian section of the port that hung in orbit around Vulpinia. Cargo cruisers from the three other planets that held life in the system frequented it quite a bit, bringing with them merchant goods, supplies, and even dignitaries. There were the grand Vulpine Shipyards, seeing service for over three hundred years. Many a grand vessel was constructed there. The seven ships that held the name Tritan, flagship of the Vulpine Fleet, were all built in the shipyards. Even ships that weren’t nearly as intimidating, but held a sort of admiration, like the Barrow’s Revenge. A Vulpine cargo cruiser, refit with armour plating and extra weapon ports and a landing deck for a small squadron of Maverick Class fighter ships.
