Just saw this article about the USAF's experimental "X-37B Robot Spaceship" and I thought to myself, "Hey, that sure would make my players wet themselves..." This thing hanging in orbit waiting to drop in and bomb the ass off anyone, anywhere gives a whole new meaning to the term "loiter time".

So how would you stat this bad boy? Would you just use the Nimrod with Extreme Environment Modification or start from scratch?

What factions would have the space infrastructure to support the use of such drones? Obviously Ares (who would have a vested interest in weaponizing the thing), but who else?

Ideas?
