A crashed Warsat on Earth

Warsats (short for War Satellites) are military satellites that were built during the Golden Age. Thousands were launched into orbits above planets across the Solar System.[1] Together with 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 empty and idle for centuries.[2][3] When the Cosmodrome array on Earth was reactivated by the Guardians, Rasputin regained access to the Warsat network and its weapon systems.[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]

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.
