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Outdated star-charts, provisions and guns 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
