| Military scientists develop doctrine governing the mounting of terrestrial weapon systems on our spacecraft. | ||||||||||||
| Description | ||||||||||||
| The wild expanse of space invites humanity to stake its claim, but who can say what resistance we might face in the years and decades ahead - whether from threats as yet unknown, or from each other? It is territory that will, at times, require defense, as will any pioneers we send forth into it. In time, we will doubtless develop new types of weapons, specifically designed for space combat and without dependence upon cumbersome, finite, and volatile ammunition stores. In the shorter term, however, the most practical approach, for which we now have detailed and proven schematics, is to modify our existing weapons for effective use in space rather than on land or sea. There is much to consider, both practically - the effects of low and microgravity on velocity and targeting, safety of usage, armoring - and bureaucratically. We must establish not only the most potent methods of space warfare, but also the rules of space warfare. The apportioning of borders, the rights surrounding unmanned objects such as satellites, the usage of non-kinetic attacks, damage to the 'environment' of space, and that destruction of a ship or station might cost dozens, even hundreds of human lives. And so the doctrine now brought before us concerns not only how to effectively fight in space, but also the complex conditions to do so. | ||||||||||||
