I thought the uniform sketches from a year ago were just sketches.

Oh no, they actually made them real.

fantasy form of warfare that requires technology that doesn’t exist

It’s unfortunate but it does exist. There are ground-launched anti-satellite missiles. It’s plausible but unlikely that there are nukes and ASAT missiles in space.

It doesn’t fucking count unless it’s goddamn pew-pew lasers in fucking space, and do not tell me that ridiculous fucking uniform is not something you would wear while commanding the bridge crew to deploy those spaceship sumo wrestling arms from Outlaw Star. You do not wear that hat and order a regular missile to be launched from the ground and blow up a Chinese news network satellite. Not if you have any amount of self-respect or shame.

The Soviets put a cannon on a satellite and launched it into orbit. The first armed spacecraft.

They supposedly test fired it before it was decommissioned, too
