Dellumbra is the femslash ship between Penumbra and Della Duck from the DuckTales fandom.

Season 2
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO DELLA DUCK?!

As Della is about to be attacked by a moon might, it is suddenly hit with a laser and burrows beneath the surface. Della looks to see an alien woman holding a phaser and tells her to halt. Della is extremely confused and shocked when the mite comes up and starts to steal her ship. Della runs to the ship as the woman tells her to not ignore her. The ship disappears below the surface and Della starts to dig, and the woman demands to know who she is and how she got there. Della introduces herself, says that she has a millions questions, but has to get her ship to get home first. The woman is about to shoot, when a man tells her, Lieutenant Penumbra, to stand down. The man introduces himself as Lunaris and welcomes her to the planet moon. Della says that the moon isn't a planet, and Penumbra tells her to treat the moon with respect or suffer the consequences. Della says she will, after she finds the mite, but Penumbra says that they've been hunting them for longer. She doesn't expect and earther to find it, when the ground beneath them suddenly gives out and sucks them to the caverns below.

A moon might then appears and Penumbra and Lunaris start to attack it. Penumbra suggests feeding Della to it to distract it, but Della says that they know this whole adventure is gonna end with them becoming best friends. So, suggests Penny moves it along. Penny says that her name is Penumbra and starts to charge at the beast as the other two follow. They figure out what the Mite wants and Della gives it the last of her gold to feed its baby. She asks for Penny and Lunaris' guns, and Penny assumes that she's going to attack the Mite now that it's vulnerable. They might become best friends, but she is quickly disappointed when Della just gives them to the mite's for food.

The two take her back to their city that is almost entirely made of gold. Della can't believe she was in the desert this whole time while this was around the corner, and Penny points out that that's why she called her a dummy. Della can't believe the amount of gold, and both Penny and Lunaris say that almost everything there is made of it. Della thinks that infuriating and amazing and hugs Penny, since she can now fix her ship. Penny struggles out of the hug, and Della decides that they're officially best friends. As she runs off, Penny can't believe that Lunaris is letting her stay there, but Lunaris suggests that she should be useful. Penny thinks dangerous is the more likely answer, and Della better watch her back.

Season 3
THEY PUT A MOONLANDER ON EARTH!

Della enters the plane hanger, and finds Penny working on her rocket. She climbs up to meet her and calls, causing Penny to hit her head on the rocket in surprise. She says hi back, and continues to work on the rocket. Della thinks about how it was similar on the moon, but this time Penny is the one building the rocket at her house. She asks if she needs help, and Penny hands her a tool and thanks her for the offer. Della says that Penny doesn't have to leave earth, and that she hasn't experienced anything yet. Penny corrects her, since she went out for coffee. Della assumes it was a date, and Penny tells her that she went with Launchpad, confusing Della. It went badly, and Penny just sees it as another reason she should focus on the ship instead of exploring the planet. Della half jokes that she's more scared of trying new things, but Penny insists that she's not, before coming to the conclusion that Della must be joking. They're interrupted by Dewey and Webby asking to go to the pier, and Della suggests they take Penny with them. Webby is excited, but Penny says she can't, since she has a meeting with the other Lunarians.

Quotes
"Oh, good plan. Lull the beast into a false sense of security only to betray them when they're at their most vulnerable. Heh, maybe we are becoming best friends. Della gives the guns to the mother mite. [Della gives guns to mite's] Boo! You disappoint me in every way possible."

Fanon
The ship is well like by the DuckTales fandom. Mostly relegated to art and moments drawn into comics. While fic is still a part of the ship it is less so than in other DuckTales ships. This is most likely due to Penny's limited appearances and the 2017 reboot being the first appearance for both characters, so there are no subsequent pieces of media to help support the ship.

The ship gained a more pronounced following "They Put a Moonlander on the Earth!" when it was hinted that Penny was a lesbian, and later got confirmed on twitter. It gave many Dellumbra fans hope that it would be canon someday, even if not right away. Delpad is often considered a rival ship for Dellumbra, but fans don't engage in ship wars for the two. Most can acknowledge the good stuff in each ship while having their own preferences.

On AO3, Dellumbra is the most written relationship for Penumbra and the third most written for Della.
