Description

Destroyer Diagram An Orion’s Arm future history project image. In context of my future history the combat vehicle described sees action during the System States War, at around the +750 year mark on my future history timeline. Future History Timeline Context Link: Orion’s Arm Future History Timeline. Definition of System States War sides and allegiances: Consortium Moons The Consortium of Moons (commonly shortened to Consortium Moons) describes a constitutionally limited Republic among the moons of Saturn, comprised of independent space habitats, each being a city-state under individual self rule in terms of internal civil matters and acting in unison under specifically defined treaty agreement in regards to external security. System States The Consortium of Moons is a member of the System States which are a union of treaty in regards to policing and security of commerce and trade. Members of the System States are the Consortium Moons, the Jovan Association (which includes most large habitats in and among the asteroid belt – the exception being mining sites established by the Earth Alliance) and the Mars Republic. Mars Republic Mars Republic describes the constitutionally limited form of government established by the Martian settlers. Earth Alliance The Earth Alliance is a global socialist state established by force after hundreds of years of warring among the lesser criminal empires which in turn arose after the self-destruction of present day industrial/technological civilization at the hands of an intentionally fomented irrationality, mob tribalism, and predatory activism aimed to take down the bases of scientific industrial based commerce and trade – the end of present day civilization signaled an end of abundance and the dawn of a dark ages which extended over three-hundred years in duration. System States War The System States War describes a conflict between the System States and the Earth Alliance, precipitated by an incursion of Earth Alliance armed forces on Mars seizing by force territories on the surface of Mars and claiming these as a possession of Earth. All models are my own Bryce creations, created in Bryce 6.3 and rendered in Bryce 7 Pro. As always thank you for your thoughtful comments, interest, and support.

Well done. It's a well thought out and credible design. One question your information DOES NOT touch on: Who are they at war with? It has missiles and all this firepower, but who are they shooting at? This is well done with what you've shown so far. Waiting for more!

Another awesome diagram William, excellent work. I remember reading some of your work at the SeventhComplex a couplee years back, some of "Orion's Arm" and the other "A Teardrop Falls" wasn't it? Peace

Excellent ship design and outstanding novel intro. I was reminded of the book 'The Mote In God's Eye' in which military spaceships internaly reconfigure for +gee acceleration in a simliar fashion to your design. This is well deserving of a +5 rating. Keep up the good work!!!!!!

Fantastic technical work on the ship design and layout. Great staging in your writeup for your alternate history and future sci-fi. Fascism though was the resulting response to Socialsim and Communism in Europe and the beginnings of it where seen in the United States and can still be seen. Socialism did urge isolationism pre outbreak of WWII and is one of many reasons as to why Hitler and Germany went so long unchecked. The key is the pact to support Poland by England and France (even then seen as unsupportable). The surprise was that they declared war. I think you what you may want is the failure of the Poland Defense pact ever being created and then no reaction to the fall of Poland. Or that England and France do not follow-up on the fall of Poland. I would suggest re-writing Span's role too. So what happens with China and India? A strong Fascist and Socialist party developing in the United States would certainly change its entry into WWII and its future development.
