SST25 Day 21: Junk

A once prosperous station that succumbed to fascism shortly after the waking. They lasted unusually long for a fascist state, surviving almost thirty years, before attacking their neighbors and being destroyed in the resulting conflict.

SST25 Day 19: Missiles

SST25 Day 18: Ambush!

SST25 Day 17: Mercenary

An Imperial ELINT ship on patrol in the outer belt. Crews hate being deployed this far out; the transmissions from nearby asteroids are a constant reminder of what is hibernating beneath the ice all around them, and some crew members even claim to hear voices calling to them in the static.

SST25 Day 12-15: Docking/Red/Carrier/Wingman

SST25 Day 11: Dropship

Ships of the Imperial Terraforming Company transfer indebted workers off an asteroid before it crosses the imperial border. Keeping their operations just outside imperial space allows them to avoid even the minimal protections provided to citizens of the imperial periphery.

A resupply ship arrives at the system's interstellar radio receiver. The accompanying transmitter was destroyed in the waking, but a few volunteers continue to man the station, listening to the increasingly rare transmissions from Sol attempting to re-establish contact.

Port Artemis, the empire's regional capital for the inner belt. Many were initially optimistic about the Imperial presence, but priorities soon shifted, and the people of the belt found their resources drained to terraform a faraway world they would likely never see.

SST25 Day 7: Green

SST25 Day 6: Tandem

SST25 Day 5: Freighter

Small inflatable skiffs are a common sight on many kinds of ship. Providing a cheap and lightweight option for transferring crew and cargo that can fold down to under a metre in length when not in use.

SST25 Day 3: Fighter

A fight breaks out around an abandoned starship, one of many which once brought travellers and technological wonders from across known space. Its most valuable parts were salvaged long ago, but there are still many willing to fight over what's left.
