Asteroid Belts

Plotting a course by the Gas Giant's Sun
Outdated star-charts, provisions and guns
Locked in the Library Data by night
Approaching jump-3 second engines ignite

Blinded and firing in uncharted space
Querion subsector star-maps erased

Enter the mining belt's vagabond trade
Coreward to Spinward both navies invade
Scattered directional asteroids fly
Shattering meteors, war-heads collide

Sandcasters broken, shields won't sustain
Waking on impact, a cold desert plane
