Asteroid Belts

Plotting a course by the Gas Giant's Sun

Outdated star-charts, provisions and guns

Locked in the Library Data by night

Approaching jump-3 second engines ignite

Blinded and firing in uncharted space

Querion subsector star-maps erased

Enter the mining belt's vagabond trade

Coreward to Spinward both navies invade

Scattered directional asteroids fly

Shattering meteors, war-heads collide

Sandcasters broken, shields won't sustain

Waking on impact, a cold desert plane
