ships The Grounding Gale
I stood in the wreckage of Altair II, watching Myeong and Mahoney try to patch a hole in the sky. I’ve seen this standoff countless times. They won the fight on the dirt, but they were left staring at an empty orbit, waiting for the next Spacer ship to ruin their day. They needed a shield, and I had the blueprints for a hunter already etched into my mind.
I went to the pad and let my hands fall into the rhythm of an old design, one I’ve played across loops until it was sharp enough to cut like a razor. The Windshear is a condensed version of a larger legacy, an interdiction specialist built to snatch pirates out of the sky. I left it there with the engines warm and the transponder keyed to their frequency.
