United States Space Force · 2043

Everything passes through the sky.

After the blackout, the country rebuilt on orbit. Space Force networks carry the military's communications and navigation, watch the cities below, and keep critical systems running. Every branch leans on them, and the branch that runs them is now the most powerful in the U.S. military.

Station Athena

Command, communications and observation from above the weather.

A U.S. Space Force orbital station: the high ground over the continent, staffed around the clock, answering to no time zone.

One console has been dark for years.

What the records say ›
Official briefing

What the sky does.

As presented in Space Force materials for the public.

01

Communications

Orders from a carrier at sea, a convoy on the road or a command post on land all travel the same orbital networks.

02

Navigation

Every fleet movement, every delivery and every drone route is timed from orbit.

03

Observation

Quantum satellites watch the cities below. Miami is one of them.

04

Recovery

The grids, ports and payment systems rebuilt after 2033 lean on the same orbital backbone.

Above the clouds

The sky has fleets too.

Stealth craft fly where the weather ends and the orbital network begins. Every heading, every handoff and every order reaches them from Space Force networks.
