A crashed Warsat on Earth

"We have a Warsat incoming!"

— Ghost^{[citation needed]}

Warsats (short for War Satellites) were military satellites built during the Golden Age to defend Earth and the other colonies throughout the Solar System.^{[citation needed]}

History

Thousands of Warsats were launched into orbit above the planets of the Solar System.^[1] and together with an array of hardened surface installations, the Warsats formed a vast communications and defense network throughout which the Warminds distributed themselves.^[1] During the Collapse, as humanity's defeat became certain, Rasputin ordered the surviving Warminds to isolate themselves and enter long-term dormancy, leaving the Warsats unmanned and idle for centuries.^[2]^[3]

When the Cosmodrome's Terrestrial Array was reactivated by The Guardian, Rasputin exploited this opportunity to spread himself across the inner system, regaining access to the Warsat network and its weapon systems once more.^[2]^[4]

Derelict Warsats periodically fall from orbit on Earth, the Moon, and Mars. The location where one impacts becomes the site of a Public Event. Guardians must defend the Warsat from enemies while it is scanned and transmatted by a Ghost to the City, where it can be carefully studied by the Cryptarchs.^[2]

Trivia

Engineers of the City have been reverse-engineering Warsat technology, such as the self defense mechanisms used in the Exotic Titan gauntlets ACD/0 Feedback Fence.
