Day 11: Dropship

In the first decade of Calphis settlement (while the starships were still being deconstructed), precious shuttles couldn't be risked on bulk cargo shipments. Instead, early Calphians used cheap, disposable pods to deliver material to the surface. Many thousands of such pods were dropped in the Northern and Southern temperate zones, jumpstarting the development of the early nationals.

Even a century onward, pods were still turning up in remote regions, unaccounted for after the mid-century wars.

It's the spiritual successor of "freighter" from back in 2023

If you want to participate as well, here's the prompt list I made:

I thought about doing a #Spaceshiptember2025 here on Bluesky. Draw, write, build, model, animate, whatever you want, just no fucking AI. No

Day 4: Freighter

Ion-powered gravel bags are easily the most numerous cargo spacecraft in human space, powering the industry of a thousand worlds. Billions of tons of asteroid material traverse the solar system on multi-decade trajectories at any given time

Day 9: Hunter

A remote, signal collecting spacecraft makes a low pass over Despina. Her antenna is turned away from noisy Neptune, facing outward into the high orbits... listening sharply, hunting.

She is one of many thousands in the outer Solar System.
