CONCEPT - K-49

The K-49 Class Battle Cruiser is the rough Klolodian counterpart to the Kruegarian Zervaffenthan Class Battleship. It is noticeable smaller than its opponent vessel, in part due to the small stature of the Klolodian themesleves. The Klolodian possess star-faring technology similar to that of the Kruegarians and the K-49 is their most formidable ship. The K-49 is set in the Humanasol League fictional setting.

CONCEPT - K-63

The K-63 Class Battleship is the opponent vessel to the Gewaltikh Class Battleship of the Kruegarians. It has a larger size and more advanced star-faring technology than the K-49 Class Battle Cruiser. The K-63 is not part of the science fiction settings I am currently working in.

HISTORY - K-49

The K-49 Class Battle Cruiser is the largest capital ship currently in service in the Klolodian Imperial Starfleet. While the Kruegarian Protectorate Starfleet fields twenty-one "Zervaffenthan" Class Battleships, the Klolodians boast over forty K-49 Class Battle Cruisers in their fleet. The numerical advantage the Klolodians possess in capital ships allows them to often go two-to-one against Kruegarian ships.

HUMANASOL LEAGUE UNIVERSE

The Humanasol League setting is my most pessimistic fictional environment. It is set in an alternative universe sone centuries in the future where Humanity has been exploring interstellar space for some time. I have used a fictional font for the Human ships in this setting to indicate that I believe that our actual future will be brighter than this. In the Humanasol League history, there have been two waves of interstellar colonization, one from Earth and another from its most successful colonies. The second generation colonies have broken away from Earth and formed the Kruegarian Protectorate which is more expansionist orientated than the Humanasol League. Two star-faring alien sentient species have been encountered during this time; the defensive-minded Ventronians and the expansionist-minded Klolodians. The Ventronian Interstellar Consolidation has become allies of the Kruegarian Protectorate and both need the cooperation of the Humanasol League in holding off the larger Klolodian Empire. All four of the instellar powers use star-faring technology akin to that in the science fiction film Wing Commander.

DIGITAL RESOURCES - K-63

Like the Gewaltikh, the K-63 uses detailing parts from fellow Renderosity artist and TrueSpace user Steve Wilson. His parts were used for the engines, engineering recesses, side detail on the main hull, and circular detail on the three forward spheres. The rest of the ship was modeled by me using TrueSpace 6.6.

Only a few textures were used for the K-63. One came from fellow Renderosity artist Manfred Thaller while the others came from various Internet sources. The fleet symbol and registration markings that add a splash of color to the hull are 3D objects I created. Running lights were added with Universe Image Creator 1.63 and CorelDraw 12 was used to add the weapons fire seen on two of the images I did of this ship. A texture from Marlin's Amazing Sci-Fi textures was employed for the green planet in the image of the ship in orbit.
