Get ready for a lot of concept art for the Jakkari preceding their upcoming story!This very detailed artwork for the main Jakkari fleet carrier comes courtesy of our friend SickJoe. I took the liberty of adding a version with text detailing many of the features and weaponry of the ship, as well as an accurate size comparison to a UNN jump carrier.Fleet carriers are the largest vessel in the Jakkari arsenal, and as the name suggests, their primary role is as motherships for fighter squadrons and as troop carriers. Fighters are launched via the central hangar section where they are raised on elevators.Lacking superlight technology, the Jakkari are forced to slowboat throughout their solar system, hence the inclusion of the novel NTP rocket engines.

Thematically, I wanted the Jakkari to be kind of an extrapolation of mid-20th century prototypes and futurism, with a lot of influence taken from Soviet experimental craft and abandoned technologies. The catamaran hull design, the aircraft elements, and especially the unique engine placement were inspired by prototypes and concepts for Ekranoplans.

Four new tank designs to follow soon!

For a second I thought it was the same size as the harmony class ship and I was like, damn.

Hey, question. Why all this focus and effort for the Jakkari? What makes them so important. Since they're a pre-FTL species i can't imagine they'll be that influencial in the grander story. I have to admit, i'd like to see some artwork of Valbaran ships. It was a bit hard to imagine a visual with just your description of them from your books.

We have artwork for several Valbaran ships, you can check out some of it here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/valbaran-ship-46369157 You can even make your own! There's also art floating around for their dropships and stealth bombers somewhere. I need to make time to update the wiki, still very busy. I would have put this much effort into every species if I had the means to do so, and at this point in time, Patreon support is allowing me to really go all out with designing new species and technology. Expect art for more ships, tanks, aircraft, armor, and weapons.

I look forward to it. On my end, i'm all but done with the jarilian page. When you get around to reading it, i hope you like it.

Do they have artificial gravity? Love the designs!

Lord Frostdraken

Nice, I like the look and feel. matches strongly with the other vehicle concepts you have shared for them so far.

Splutty

Has a very organic look to it.

Snekguy

Undecided but leaning towards no.

I would say them not having it makes the most sense since they are almost like a 20th century tech level. It would then add an interesting level to navigating within their ships.
