20 minute animated segment F*CK YES

Sevilgard: DON'T WE HAVE SHIELDS OR SOMETHING?! Hawker: This is not Star Trek.

12:55 Sandblasting a minefield is such a creative idea I love it.

love the corvette design

This feels so much like a historical look at events I love it

There's a poetic beauty that Unioners use the (Literal) dirt cheap sand from Maiala's Rest to overcome Assembly defense systems. It's not only in character to their doctrine, but I can see them seeing it as a kind of symbolic revenge. You left us to die in the wasteland of the cluster. We'll show you what the wasteland can send back at you.

"Sevilguard was an idiot". - Give this man a medal.

Huge Expanse vibes from the intro!!! That is a good thing!!!!!!!!!!

I like Commodore Hadleigh, its nice when someone in the brass is willing to cut past the politics when there is need.

This show was created in the spirit of the Expanse but is unique enough not to be considered a rip-off. I'm impressed. I found it on Nebula. That was a pleasant surprise.

AWESOME! Loved how every character has their pros and cons, it's just that Hawker's matched the situation best. Even Sevilgard eventually listened the first time Hawker broke protocol, even if he didn't later. Hadleigh is a delight.

my god that Sevilgarde fellow was an absolutely useless tool its a shame he had to take Lyrion Point's crew down with him.... was a relief to see the debriefing acknowledge this as well as endorsing the decision to withdraw

Holy cow, i would watch hours of this. So guud. I really liked the dialog at the end. It felt very professional and world building to me. Keep up the marvelous work.

Love the smaller CDF vessel designs and the fact that some officers in the CDF are willing to admit there are idiots in their ranks. It is always a problem with a Peace Time Navy that officer will be promoted for their connections rather thank their skill and knowledge. Those good officers are only ever promoted when the latter are caught with their trousers down. Love the story and the animated battle description and would love to see more. Fare Winds.

Absolutely gorgeous, i love how pieces of acting were mixed with narrated exposition just like in a documentary. I wish i was able to do my own stories' world building like this, with this level of precision and dedication, i deeply admire how Daniel and the whole team committed to this effort.

Chandra? Like Lt. Chandra from C&C Tiberium Sun?

Damn, that is one consistent design-philosophy, I like it!

This is really cool. I have been wanting some kind of thing on battles in the frontier war but this is extraordinary.

What a treat this was. Would very much love to see similar content in the future, keep up the good work! Also forgive me if I’m wrong but the CSV Matthew Cormer has a striking resemblance to a certain legitimate salvage 😉

I love the uniform design

The corvettes look amazing. i love the simple design yet amazing

Why aren't you more famous. Quality of this is amazing. It reminds me of Venom Geek Media Battlespace series, but quality is beyond the roof. And his is more of documential films, and this looks more like a show.❤

Wow, that was amazingly awesome! I am looking forward to a continuation of this series! Fair Winds!

This is fantastic quality. Reminds me a lot of the Patrick O'Brian books.

The REAL strength of line formation is simple: Even as the ships of the line sailed straight, they bobbed up and down. Therefore, the real line of battle is not a straight line or even a sine wave. But is is fact every ship fully using a dimension to dodge, as well as a second dimension for the same so long as its doesn't block line of fire for other ships. This, is why, in peace time, it should be a straight line. But during exercises when extra fuel and propellant allowed, it should be a sine wave. Or cosine if that is your thing. The line of battle is never straight. When you can dodge up and down, it is very obvious why you don't put ships in vertical sheets. You will get in the way of others who might want to dodge. So yes. In space. The line of battle is still important. Add up and down thrusters to your ships that are stronger than the port-starboard thrusters. At the cost of efficiency, as those up/down thrusters need to be treated as rapid response emergency thrusters to dodge incoming shots picked up by the sensors. In the Age of Water. We sail in lines. In the Age of Astra, we STILL sail in lines. Disclaimer, this statement applies to ships of the line. Smaller vessels that modify their doctrine have to still modify their own around this doctrine. The line itself is a chaotic wave-line in battle. Those who play point defense have to play their own game of dodging and weaving....

As someone who likes CS Forester books I love the age of sail traditions these space ships use!

YESSSSS!'

Soo we can hope for a youtube drama series coming soon? Great work by the way. Love the characters and really hoping of a animated series.

I really hope that this series doesn't fall to the trap of making every other character utterly useless and incompotent in order to make Hawker look better

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Really wishing that The Sojourn would have an animated series, all animation work on every video is wonderful

Awesome. Can’t wait for more.

Would love more of these

This really flipping cool. Please keep it up.

just simply AWESOME

Wow, just wow, this was great!

Loved every minute of this. Amazing stuff!!!!

pls make more of this this is the stuff I have wated years for

This is dam fine content really enjoyed it :D

This was great. More like this, please!

YOOOO LET'S GOOO it's finally out! Great work!

Marvelous! Atlast, an animated video! Congratulations!

Incredible.

Well done!

I love to see the World and the Characters of the Sojourn also come to life through videos. Please do more of this if you can. Really appreciate it!❤

Oh shit, here we go!

I'm going to watch this again so I understand the engagement better. Nice work in general. I think the Commodore is being a bit harshly judged in the end. Yeah, he made bad mistakes. He didn't stick to them and he bravely tried to fix the mess he found himself in. That said, yes, I can understand why he felt the way he did. It was a horrible loss for a mistake.

The first story from The Sojourn I had listened to. Very enjoyable.

The amount of technical detail-from astronavigation to reporting protocol/communications here is stunning! World building is superb-this feels like a real world where everything has history and backstories. I love the look of ships in this universe: the stunningly detailed models reminiscent of the Expanse, but with less asymmetry so everything here looks more organized and militaristic. I really admire your stories military professionalism and discipline. Certain… franchises have fallen into a trend of having people who work on spacecraft behave like emotional teenagers, emotionally melting down frequently and disobeying any order they disagree with whilst suffering no consequence. I’m strangely intrigued by the space station Fort Allencourt and Farbridge- both in their unique designs and histories- It’d be great if an official breakdown was done on the station. I like how the voice actor playing Sevilgard sounds like he’s constantly winded-I get the image in my mind of a morbidly obese aristocrat barely wedging his corpulent form into a command chair and struggling to keep breathing over his lethal cholesterol. I like the names of the vessels in this: CDF ships have romantic names whilst the union ships have more diverse names demonstrating how large and varied the participants of this war are. The battle itself was engaging: tactics, battle and severe consequence over more ‘hollywood’ style of space battle. I was surprised and amused at the mine field being eliminated by sand! If this was Star Trek the minefield would be neutralized by a ‘coherent Graviton beam’ or other technobabble. Though I am skeptical to how a minefield would work in space due to range issues and the possibility of the enemy simply shooting them at a distance. Unless they are stealth rigged or something. Overall, love this and would like to see much more!

As a fan of the expanse and of this sci-fi audio drama, I 110% aprove this!

The pilots in battle should be thankful the battle took place by a space station and not over the planet of Servais major itself. Considering how common Hydro sulfuric acid is on that world, i shudder to think of th fate of any unlicky soul who would have crashed landed on its surface.

This show is phenomenal.

love this

Fucking amazing. I'd love to see more

damn really great representaion of that battle.

Marvelous

THIS WAS SO FUCKING GOOD!

this would make an amazing game

This was, pardon my French, *FUCKING EXCELLENT.* Thank you for this auditory masterpiece and visual accompaniment. It made my night. @TheSojournHQ

I want a ship breakdown of THE Arashi-Sakara as soon as possible pleaase, I want- ney, NEED to know what is considerded a dreadnought in Tantalus

I'm waiting for season 2

This is giving huge "Honor Harrington" vibes. And I like it.

5g burn!? sheesh

I suggest you to make this audio drama franchise animated by a Japanese team just like Cyberpunk: Edgerunners so that we could see another Legend of Galaxy Heros

I'm not familiar with this fictional universe, could someone please explain it to me. It looks really interesting.

YEEEEES

That whistle is giving me bad memories

The warriors understanding of "I am being led by a total idiot."

"dude, this shit's so cool" - me

We getting more of these? anytime soon? like... now?

boost the alogrithm!!!

I am the very model of a modem major general.

How much money do I need to give you to get a 12 episode series of this? Cause wow call amazon this was dope.

Scratching my head, why the Union ships did not move over or below the minefield? They wouldn't need to breach them.

Lt. Cmdr. Trevelyan? If that's a Halo reference I'm really happy

So, I'm about 5 minutes in and the comparisons to Honor Harrington are hard to silence in my head. Just once I'd like the hero/ine for one of these space operas to be German, French, Italian, or Japanese using their naval traditions as a cultural baseline. Or having the 'idiot fat commodore' be female... just something to break up the tropes. None of this means I'm disappointed or annoyed by choices the author made here. They've done a good job, an **excellent** job; I'm just giving my stream-of-consciousness first impressions. As it stands, I'm probably gonna end up buying the series. We'll see how much I like the some of these clips.

We need season 2 to be animated

The Battle of Twatticus

Richtig gut Grüße aus Deutschland

We are not worthy!!!

East?! 17:49

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Wait, at the end, it says that the Combined Fleet has Freewarden Lemaire as well as Fleet Leader Tandil. Is Lemaire actually aboard the fleet, and if so, why is he not in a joint command with Tandil (given he's a Union Councillor)?

What ship class is that at 1.29

So the ship of the line, even the second rate still couldn’t defend itself against the coil gun strike? I mean, if that’s the case then why haven’t all ships just try to take out each other’s bridges with a well placed shot? There’s no air or gravity in space so aiming shouldn’t be difficult. Or I don’t know, can’t they just put like a meter or even ten or twenty meters thick armor around ship’s bridge?

I like the design of CDF ships more but Union have better ship names. Long live the Miss Conduct and the Peckish Porcupine!

Oooof VA quality is really all over the place in this one.

If I may sir, if I may ma'am, if I may speak to manager actual.

They really gave up a fortified position that could have been used as a staging point to sally out. I feel like this was a critical mistake on every level, only permitted to make the main character look good on paper. Would have made more sense if she had held out a system against an overwhelming force from a fortified position
