WF Stålenhag (Patreon)

Wolf 359 supporter Vu Le chose Stålenhag as the name for a spaceship, and why not‽ If you don't know Simon Stålenhag's work you definitely need to check it out.

The WF Stålenhag is a very fast ship, and has the longest range of any so far built. The pilot sits in an entirely exposed bubble cockpit affording them 360º vision of space and the environment. Coupled with the Stålenhag's astonishing array of sensors and scanners, it makes for a very capable scout and survey ship.

The WF Stålenhag was built in the Saab Shipyard just outside of Gothenburg in mid 2115. The Saab shipyard was a private venture that quickly merged with the Danish OUT corporation. The Stålenhag was one of only three ships built before the merger.

In 2169 the WF Stålenhag went missing just beyond the orbit of Makemake. All communication was lost, and no trace of it was ever found. It seemed too much of a coincidence that no further sets of instructions were received after the ships disappearance.
