Pirate Booty Of Orbit - Low Orbit Skimmers Of The Human Empire Encounter

Dropped from orbit from the dizzying heights of planetary space these low orbit skimmers are the hall mark of engineering & comfort. Hundreds of Skimmers are loaded for transportation aboard a space guild ship.

Each of the ships & passengers are packaged with cryo gas & inertia gel as well as strapped in. Then taken to to their destination then dropped from orbit. The skimmers are auto piloted through atmosphere & psi computer controlled. The pilot takes over as the skimmer enters the atmosphere & glides her to her destination.
Many of these skimmers make tempting targets to pirates & the scum of the universe.

Many outfits are now using single celled security drones to dissolve any unwanted intruders aboard the skimmers! Using the latest in Rover security technology these creatures have foiled many attempted high skyjackings, ransom situations, & much more.
