Windsong Revealed (#2/3)

That bird behind you is as large and in charge as Skadi herself. No way did you purchase that trøllkvin of a voidrunner outta your own purse. She's but a step short of a bloody Royal Navy ship.

It's Ash Wednesday, voidfriends! Today we are unveiling the second round of our hero ship reveals: Windsong rendered in beautiful high poly splendor by Casey Gossett (Bluesky).

While not technically classified as a "ship," Windsong is a beastly cutter-type voidcraft that might as well be one. She is as large and heavy as a VTOL voidcraft can reasonably be. This quality makes her a little less suitable for customs interdiction; she can be sluggish in comparison to smaller clippers that run illegal cargos at hypersonic speeds. But her girth permits her more utility for search & rescue ops and regular shuttling up and down the atmosphere. It also gives her more endurance when she sits idle in the void on watch, as interdictors often do.

Windsong's articulating parts give her added versatility over several flight regimes. She is an ever-changing vessel; this is not even her final form. You will witness her morph and transform over the course of three audio-novels. She is Ashlee's pride and joy—a machine that allows her chase the stars themselves.

Further Updates

It's been a rough 2025 and early 2026. We've endured some shuffling about among our cast and crew — myself included — sometimes for personal safety.

But I'm happy to report that production on Stardust: Act One has wrapped up and we're now in post-production. Thanks to assembly editor Tess Tanen (Bluesky) we know approximately how long the first installment of Stardust is: well over five hours length.

Everyone has put their all into this story and this world. I couldn't be more grateful. I've learned better than to set deadlines and make promises at this point, but we're working hard to get Act One to you as soon as we can.

One last note in passing: we spoke to our members about what they want to see out of Stardust website and membership program. The general consensus is that our fans like to see Stardust with its own corner of the internet. To that end, we won't be joining the likes of Patreon, but we will be shutting down the membership feed in its current form later in the year. We will transition to a content management system built on Ghost, which will allow you to simply log in to this very website and access all your purchases seamlessly. Memberships will be carried over to the new system and membership time purchased will of course be honored.

That's the news from The Bary for now. If you like spaceships, be sure to check out today's Ash Wednesday reveal.

Fly safe, friends.
