“The Javelin System is a massive steam cannon,” Carl continued, “and it is used to put high G payloads into low Earth orbit. It essentially replaces the first stage of a conventional rocket. The payloads are equipped with a second stage solid rocket booster to complete the journey into low Earth orbit. The Javelins are unguided, and we are simply lobbing payloads into low earth orbit at the lowest possible price. They are all retrieved by a remote piloted space tug. The primary payload is fuel for space operations. Food, liquids and gases and structural materials like beams and fasteners are secondary payloads. The Javelins are long and skinny for aerodynamic purposes and have many compartments. ‘Soft’ payloads will be carried on shuttles with much lower acceleration rates.”

With a heavy thud, the Draco Star crash-landed its metallic hull tearing through the dense forest of 13th century Earth. The impact sent debris flying in all directions, causing the surrounding wildlife to scatter in fear. Zara, dazed and disoriented, struggled to regain her senses as smoke billowed from the damaged vessel.
