THE NEWS

'Places' Section Updated

29/1/2023

0 Comments

 
The Universe section of the site has received a makeover today, primarily focused on the Places section.

  • You can now view lists of named star systems, either by controlling faction, or by galactic region.
  • The list of named planets has been updated with the new worlds mentioned in From Shattered Stars, I Dream of Damastion, and A Storm to the Savage, as well as some of the less spoilery planets that will be named in Whom Gods Shall Fear.
  • Some planets named in earlier books were found to be missing from the site, and have now been added in.
  • Some worlds and systems were found to have been listed in the wrong galactic regions, and have been corrected.

Updates have been made to canon as a result of these edits. Most of the details below have been in notes and plans, some even elsewhere on this site (e.g. on planetary profiles), but few have been specified in books — although for some that will change in WGSF.

  • The Lem Bataan home world, Phnemaph, is now listed canonically in the Yuacc system.
  • The Viskr home world, Riishi, is now listed canonically in the Sampta Chfum system.
  • The Kibriani home world, Kibria, is now listed canonically in the Ewarrn system.
  • Woe Tantalum is now listed canonically in the Parable system.
  • Lopama, the site of Forge Ruinous, is now listed canonically in the Roumhale system.
  • Kelvestyr, the location of the Imperial War College, is now listed canonically in the Worrokek system.
  • Mibes is now listed canonically in the Komistir system.
  • Aldava is now listed canonically in the Breig Eta system.
  • Damastion is now confirmed canonically as being in the Axicon system.

July 2022 News Round-Up

21/7/2022

 
With the release of A Storm to the Savage, quite a few background changes have also come to pass...

  1. Paperback editions of the Armadaverse books are now available in Australia, Sweden, and Poland, as well as all the other regions supported by Amazon Publishing,
  2. The paperbacks will be getting a refresh over the next fortnight, to make them typographically consistent and to update the front matter,
  3. Kindle editions have been updated with new front matter, principally to add ASTTS to the "also by the author" page,
  4. The Up Next page now shows which volume is in the pipeline.

If you are not subscribed to the newsletter you may have missed the latest in terms of social media. There is a likelihood that the Armadaverse will be quitting Facebook. The hitherto under-used Armada Wars Twitter account will now publish all announcements. This web site remains the best source for all Armadaverse news and information.

There is also now a linktr.ee account which will be kept up to date with the sites/pages which are active and or useful.

Character Profiles, Next Releases

11/10/2020

 
Rendir Throam -- illustrative character image
The People pages under the Universe category have now been completed for all characters seen or mentioned so far in the Great War of the Shaeld series. This literally includes every named character, from civilians seen in passing to each and every member of Tanker Regiment seen in the last book.

[Edit: since this article was first posted, new index pages have also been added for all characters by surname, all the women, and all the men.]

This feels like a great achievement, since there are over 100 named characters, many of them linked to various events throughout the four existing novels and beyond.

The "upcoming characters" page has now been removed, so the new characters who will be arriving in Perseus Aflame will be added to this site when the first book from that series — On Vicious Wing — is actually approaching its release date.

Some characters from the first of the upcoming GWOTS-era novellas, however, do have partial profiles on the site already. These are:
​
  • Reximillian Bel-Kenita — Protagonist.
  • Euelli Berris — Head of developmental research, Kenita-Deng Incorporated.
  • Mansour al-Rashid — Captain, ICS Ardent.
  • Zana Turei — Chief engineer, ICS Ardent.

That novella is of course I Dream of Damastion, which should be released before the end of the year and may help to tide people over until the much-delayed release of Whom Gods Shall Fear. The protagonist of another novella — A Storm to the Savage — also now has her own holding page. Watch this space.

For serious fans of the Armadaverse, it's highly recommended that you take a deep dive into lore by reading the background and insights into your favourite characters!

GEEK OUT NOW

What's New This Week...

23/12/2017

 
Tanker scale visualisation
The web site just keeps getting bigger, better, and badder! Here's whats been added or changed in the past week or so:

  1. New character profiles created for Nur Rohana binti Ishak (Doctor Rohana), Brehim, Imbris Laselle, and High Admiral Audrene Bel-Taulon.
  2. Rupus Dyne, Frane Harth, and Ragnar Otkellsson updated with character images.
  3. All Tanker profiles now include a scale visualisation image.
  4. The Tanker Regiment featured article has been updated/enhanced with the latest images and links.
  5. New character/society page added for Glanced Esteem.
  6. Profile page added for the ICS Hammer.
  7. Category pages added for the Imperial Starship Design Roadmap and Imperial Facilities.
  8. Pages created in Facilities for Gemen Station and Forge Ruinous.
  9. Planet profile created for Jasamma.
  10. As well as Uninhabited Planets, the Places section now lists Incidental Planets. These are worlds about which there is insufficient information to justify an entire profile page.

New on the Site (including CAGA and the Navy!)

2/12/2017

 
There have been yet more additions and improvements this weekend. Strap yourself in!

Quite a lot of work goes on behind the scenes, as well as constant edits to keep the site current with the latest books and correct small, unnoticed errors.

It's always good to know that people are visiting the site and poring over the information here, so feel free to comment.

  1. ​A new (and quite long) page was added for CAGA.
  2. A new page was added for the Imperial Navy, which is now the parent to the freshly streamlined Imperial Starships page. Expect individual ship profiles soon for the featured ships.
  3. A section on meritocracy was added to the Imperial Combine overview, and the page has been cleaned up.
  4. The [spoiler] panel has been added to more character profiles, particularly those whose latest involvements are heavily plot-related.
  5. The legends on [spoiler] panels have been edited to show which book/s the spoilers apply to.
  6. Many character profiles have been edited and cleaned up, those with long entries being broken into sections.
  7. The people section was trimmed down and no longer duplicates links to all the characters listed elsewhere.
  8. The Privacy & Policies page has moved under the FAQ, along with a new Asset Usage page.

Site Improvements

22/11/2017

 
Throam fights Castigon -- List of the Dead
Some improvements have hit the site over the past week... some major, some just tweaks:
  1. All main and secondary human characters now have images.
  2. Some of the character images are now used as the header images for the respective pages.
  3. A page was added for the planet Damastion, and one was also added for Eyes and Ears. Links have been updated accordingly throughout the site.
  4. Pages were added for the characters Captain Orri Hekekia, and Master-at-Arms Willon Panovar.
  5. A new section titled 'Adversity' was added to the profile pages for Elm Caden, Rendir Throam, and Euryce Eilentes.

Character Pics Update

18/11/2017

 
Regular visitors might have noticed that the previously mentioned character pictures have been undergoing rapid and iterative improvements. They're now available for all human main and secondary characters, and higher resolution images are replacing the pictures which were first uploaded.

Character Pictures!

13/11/2017

 
Rendir Throam
Thanks to Adobe's "free-use preview" of Fuse, their developing character design tool, the site is now getting some images of your favourite characters.

So far as it is possible, these images follow the descriptions given in the books to illustrate what various characters would look like. They are now populating to the Main Characters and Secondary Characters sections.

There are some shortcomings. For example although it's possible, it's still really difficult to apply Ren's tattoos and scars. And the controls for eye shape are fairly primordial, so Santani's heritage doesn't exactly leap out at you.

Yes, the Eyes and Ears personnel all doing a "dunno?" pose is deliberate.

As you probably guessed, this software is nowhere near sufficient to model Bruiser, Burner, or Caecald. If any 3D or digital art whizzes out there fancy a crack, fan art is ALWAYS welcome on the Facebook page.

Amazon OneLink

3/11/2017

 
Amazon OneLink is now being rolled out across the site. This system means that you only have to click one button to go and find a particular Armada Wars book on your local Amazon store — Amazon works out for itself what geographical region you are in, and routes you accordingly.

The system is being implemented for Kindle edition links, paperback links, and some audiobook links.

At the moment it's up and running for readers in the USA, the UK, and Canada. People from other regions can click the same link to use the Amazon.com site, or choose from the regional links which are still listed.

One known issue is that OneLink doesn't always register your region on the first click, and sends you to Amazon.com regardless of where you are. Subsequent clicks seem to be handled correctly. Presumably this is a bug that Amazon is working on already.

Easy Steps to Victory!

16/4/2017

 
Thumbs Up
Independent writing is not particularly profitable, and it takes a great deal of time. If you want to help guarantee the future of this series, and ensure that books keep coming according to the great big game plan, there are some ridiculously powerful things you can do:

  1. Buy the books, obviously,
  2. Write a review! Whether it's on Amazon or Goodreads, this makes a huge difference,
  3. Share your enthusiasm with friends, and on social media,
  4. Like/Share and Tweet content from this web site and the Facebook page​.

As you probably know this whole series is produced independently, without any backing from a publisher, agent, or marketing firm. It relies mostly on your word of mouth to generate interest amongst potential new readers! You are the best chance it has of continuing and growing.
