This is my initial pondering for this brief
i was thinking about an idea.... it sorta came to me from the shadows thing
Sniper/assassin Sorta style
he gets delivered silently in space, and lays in orbit
he sends down part of his weapon , a hideous shadow that is like a spy , that helps pinpoint his target
and takes his target out from orbit
sorta like a manned orbital satellite ... when hes done he just recalls his (shade and bugs out
no one ever sees him ,
and if they see the shade, they think its the trick of the light
thats the only trouble tho , how to explain the shade thing in technical terms
have to think about it , i want it to look creepy
i want the shade thing to actually be like a spirit
an entity connected to his own
like a ghost but controlled and with purpose.
If need be he enters the atmosphere and takes out the target at close range with stealth weapons.

Not so sure about the sade idea now , but im gonna do some more cocepting at lunchtime.

Work it!
Like I said earlier, I reckon that incorporation of some of the early design into the later ones as flaps and air brakes would work wonders.
Geddit?
