“Locator failed by the looks of it… poor fella been out here for a long time.”

“Might’ve dropped off of Knox Torquist… judging by the trajectory.”

“Gods. Helluva way to go… bring us in closer, I’ll make the grab.”

Day 16: Armor

A specialized, hardened lander begins final approach over Io. Scheduled flights come and go regularly for the few people who live and work in this irradiated sphere.

Day 11: Dropship

In the first decade of Calphis settlement (while the starships were still being deconstructed), precious shuttles couldn't be risked on bulk cargo shipments. Instead, early Calphians used cheap, disposable pods to deliver material to the surface.

Day 9: Hunter

A remote, signal collecting spacecraft makes a low pass over Despina. Her antenna is turned away from noisy Neptune, facing outward into the high orbits... listening sharply, hunting.

She is one of many thousands in the outer Solar System.

Day 4: Freighter

Ion-powered gravel bags are easily the most numerous cargo spacecraft in human space, powering the industry of a thousand worlds. Billions of tons of asteroid material traverse the solar system on multi-decade trajectories at any given time

"Look, the irony isn't lost on me.... repairing the craft that repairs repair drones... I get it."
