Orbital weapons are militarized satellites, capable of attacking targets on land or sea or in air or space. Perhaps the most formidable development in modern warfare, they push the advantage of high ground to the extreme and almost totaly exclude the possibility of counter-attack. Modern orbital emplacements shifted the global balance of power heavily in favor of the Roman Imperium, who has the sole right as a state to launch weapons satellites, allowing their armed forces to easily out compete the Mongols, Maya or Japanese. No present military has the means to defend against such weaponry.

abstract	Orbital weapons are militarized satellites, capable of attacking targets on land or sea or in air or space. Perhaps the most formidable development in modern warfare, they push the advantage of high ground to the extreme and almost totaly exclude the possibility of counter-attack. Modern orbital emplacements shifted the global balance of power heavily in favor of the Roman Imperium, who has the sole right as a state to launch weapons satellites, allowing their armed forces to easily out compete the Mongols, Maya or Japanese. No present military has the means to defend against such weaponry. International law of the Alliance of Earth from 1966 permits only itself and Rome to militarize outer space. Neither failed to take advantage of this. They have run the gamut of possible ways to defend their earthly possessions by celestial means, from satellites outfitted with kinetic projectiles, missiles, lasers and atomics, and with more advanced plasma-based designs in the works. The first weapons satellites were Roman Cherubim missile platforms. Originally launched in February of 1949, they immediately proved their lethality against African dissidents in the Swahili Crisis. Their success was the main argument for continued the growth of space as a final frontier of militarization.
