CNN Editorial:
Several years ago, the nation of Kaukolastan began experimenting with tethered satellites. After one of these experiments almost destroyed the Space Shuttle Tyrador, these experiments were transfered to the military. When the military announced the research of Ionic Tethers, they asked for assistance from other nations, as shown in these communiques: Ionic Tether Research Announced (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=76964&highlight=). Recieving none, the project was delayed, but not abandoned. Now, Kaukolastan has launched three of these satelites.
They fire a small stream of ionized particles through the Earth's Ionisphere, drawing the energy along with them to ground out on the surface. The destructive capacity of this weapon is tremendous, depending on the focus of the beam. Kaukolastan assures us that these are purely defensive systems, undertaken in plain sight, but we believe that this is an attempt to gain prestige. We here at CNN believe that these problems could be avoided if larger nations took these smaller but determined countries more seriously.
