Just showing off.

This death star prototype just survived a freefall from roughly 16,000 meters.

It wasn't a sphere, just four paneled girdered sections.

EDIT: On a side note "spring" action may be the secret to orbital drop pods. Pods with no chutes, engines, or wings I mean.

[Norpo]

Yeah, those structural pieces can take a heckuva beating.

There *will* be damage, but if you have enough armour, then you don't need to care about a few panels flying off.

(now drop it from high orbit around Tylo)

That's no moon. not even a plutoid

Sadly I have never made it past minimus.

Major "zubb" Tom: The Emperor's coming here?

Mortimer Kerman: That is correct, Commander. And, he is most displeased with your apparent lack of progress.

Major "zubb" Tom: We shall double our efforts.

Mortimer Kerman: I hope so, Commander, for your sake. The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am.
