#SST25 Day 16: Spy
An Imperial ELINT ship in the outer belt. Crews hate being deployed this far out; the transmissions from nearby asteroids are a constant reminder of what is hibernating beneath the ice all around them, and some crew members even claim to hear voices calling to them in the static.

#SST25 Day 10: Convoi
Ships of the Imperial Terraforming Company transfer indebted workers off an asteroid before it crosses the imperial border. Keeping their operations just outside imperial space allows them to avoid even the minimal protections provided to citizens of the imperial periphery.

#SST25 Day 8: Spaceport
Port Artemis, the empire's regional capital for the inner belt. Many were initially optimistic about the Imperial presence, but priorities soon shifted, and the people of the belt found their resources drained to terraform a faraway world they would likely never see.

A 3D render of an asteroid with a number of structures on its dark side. Multiple ships can be seen nearby.

#SST25 Day 2: Starbound/Guns, Guns, Guns!
A fight breaks out around an abandoned starship, one of many which once brought travellers and technological wonders from across known space. Its most valuable parts were salvaged long ago, but there are still many willing to fight over what's left.
