As smuggling ships go in the late 26th century, the Sledge was among the most advanced, painted a flattish black, with an angular yet feminine shape, she was the first cloaking craft to break the rules, striking out into the past in search of a lucrative bounty. Though forbidden, there were very few ships who could match it’s stealth and agility. Appearing as a storm cloud, it could hover silently over a city of ancient meatbags undetected, hauling in contraband by the ton under the cover of darkness. Shinsky had paid a very steep price for the privilege and the pilot, believing the enormous riches waiting to be plucked from the past would make him wealthy enough to build a fleet of such craft and own the early trade supplied by these verboten ancient resources. His early space trials had him eager to skip the timeslip safety tests in favor of his first heist, to a place that until then had only existed to him in folklore and the ridiculous tall tales of religious zealots. The origin systems planet zero, a place in spacetime they called “Earth”. There is always a certain degree of uncertainty in traveling spacetime and unfortunately for him, his clucking plot put his new ship in the planets garbage orbit, square in the path of a Chinese kinetic weapon satellite that was being secretly moved at great relative speed, setting off a chain of catastrophic low orbit collisions that would come to paralyze the primitive populations power and communications for some time, showering the defenseless surface with debris.
