Very formidable lookin' satellite you got there. On the topic of hypervelocity guns, have they ever appeared in any non-EAW source or did Petroglyph just pull them out of their hat? I've always wondered about them... Seems like they would throw a monkey wrench into the established canon.

They were referenced in a single book before Pety ever created them.  That's just the most recognizable, since the book was from the Black Fleet Crisis books, which I personally didn't find very interesting.

They were first mentioned in a book...Before the Storm I think, so they weren't quite out of thin air.

Oops, seems like Miller was already on the case! hah

I'm fine with them making new stuff. Everything in SW came from somewhere. What I don't like is when the new stuff doesn't fit or isn't necessary.

I mean, we created the entirety of the EotH.

No, the station can't shoot through itself which would be necessary for all four to hit the same thing.

They could all probably hit an Executor/Viscount on a full broadside. Maybe. Probably not. A little.
