"Thinking Outside The Triangle"

D.T.T. Ship Builders Inc. came about when the D.T.T (Death To Triangles) Design Firm and Paradox Ship Builders Inc, who had previously partnered in creating a number of outstanding ships, decided to combine forces in a formal merger. The new company continues to go from strength to strength, and despite being a recent entry to the market, have already built up a loyal following of customers.

Company Philosophy

As might be expected from the company name, D.T.T.'s designers have a considerable dislike for the old, angular style of ships of centuries past, and feel that it is foolish not to take full advantage of modern materials and construction methods, which make smooth flowing lines and curves quite practical to implement. Despite this, D.T.T. are not focusing their attentions on the luxury ship market, as some other companies with similar design philosophies tend to do, but are firmly committed to creating practical workhorse craft intended to appeal to a wide variety of potential customers.

D.T.T. have also undertaken a number of commissions for the design and manufacture of custom ships, for clients who desire something truly unique. Pending permission of the owners, images of these custom designs may appear in a later version of this catalogue.


And now - The Ships

Heavy Metal Freight Hauler

This ship was the very first product of the collaboration between D.T.T and Paradox. Although it does not demonstrate the flowing lines of later designs, early versions of design elements now common to D.T.T. ships can still be spotted in this no-nonsense workaday ship.

D.T.T. Wraith

The Wraith is the cutting edge in military/special forces technology, and is largely aimed at the law enforcement/bounty-hunter market. All engines andweapons have been externalized, allowing for interior room comparable to a Cobra Mk.III, however, no room is left for a cargo upgrade, and no passenger berths can be added... This is a killing machine friends, not a space trawler.
