On Tuesday, we are launching Aesir Fleet II, an expansion of our range of The Expanse-style tail sitters, building on the Knarr Light we released this month as a tribes exclusive.
As many of you may know, I’ve been ill for a long time, and I’ve had to scale back operations, putting the focus of 2nd Dynasty solely on ongoing Tribes releases. We’ve worked hard however to increase the bang for your buck. We’re finally in a place where we can start focusing on other projects again, and this smaller Frontier is designed to help create a buffer so we have the resources to do so.
The Knarr Heavy and Knarr Light, with a spaceman to scale
This mini-campaign expands the Aesir Fleet with two additional vessels, the Knarr Light, which is a ship's boat and light cargo duty transport rated for launches of up to 0.4G, and the Knarr Heavy, a dedicated interplanetary transport with a generous payload and expanded living quarters for long duration voyages.
Both designs are not only brand new Aesir Fleet vessels, but also offer multi-material ready colour FDM 3D print files and gorgeous instruction manuals. We made aYouTube Short of the Knarr Light to see how amazing this comes out!
Colour FDM printing can achieve amazing results - the completed Knarr Light! (ignore my blurry thumb)
We took all the lessons learned from Aesir Fleet to create these amazing pieces that can be printed either on your traditional FDM printer in a single filament colour and painted, or on modern multi-material printers with spectacular results!

All rewards will include the stretch goals/milestones we unlock, such as chemical tankage, enclosed ladderwell, and a more traditional conical nose for dense atmospheric operations.

In addition to the Knarr, if we get 10K in support, we will be unlocking the Gungnir, a brand new ship not based on the Knarr at all - it has the engine block of a Ratatosk, but has a triangular nose with a spinal railgun mount. The Gungnir, named after the mythical spear of Odin, is a dedicated mobile defense platform, and will dramatically increase the value of all reward levels.
We Would Love Your Support
Even though we are so grateful for your support on our original campaign, we hope we’ve created a compelling enough argument for you to pick up the Knarr variants and add them to your collection. We know times are tough, so if you can’t back us financially at the moment, we’d just ask that you help spread the word about the campaign to those you think might be interested.
