Earth Cordon Killsats  An orbital death ray emitted that
contains the Earth   The current census counts over two thousand
orbiting satellites as part of the cordon in low-Earth orbit,
roughly between 300 and 350 kilometers above the dirt. Some of
these are killsats loaded with enough intelligence, sensors,
weapons, electronic countermeasures, and countercountermeasures
to severely disable an impressive military space fleet. But
they’re not alone, of course. There are also sensor platforms
out the wazoo, detection arrays that can pinpoint a speck in a
crowded room. These scan the area above and around the Earth in
a constantly shifting, overlapping field. Most numerous of all
are over a thousand nimble micro-, nano-, and pico-satellites
and smart mines that swarm about to jam, intercept, sabotage, or
crash into targets or repair and protect the larger defensive
systems.  Sat 02  Sat 01  Earth Cordon Killsats  Eclipse Phase
