Industrial Revolution

In a smoky lounge floating above an asteroid belt, a group of historians and engineers trade theories about the first interplanetary uprising. Their debate centers on a pivotal moment when mining stations demanded the right to arm themselves, sparking what later historians call the Industrial Revolution of the Solar System. Through witty banter and references to old Earth politics, the narrative paints a vivid picture of a fledgling space society on the brink of self‑determination.

At the heart of the discussion sits Missy Blades, a legendary figure whose life reads like a saga of frontier grit. Once a turret gunner on Ceres and a co‑founder of the notorious Sword Enterprises, she now watches the stars from a bar stool, ready to recount the incident that set the whole conflict in motion. Her recollections promise a blend of hard‑won experience and the raw, chaotic energy that forged a new era among the asteroids.
