The Siege of Satellites

How Orbital Skirmishes Echo Medieval Warfare

By Marcus Havelock

7,000 satellites circle the planet

They link our markets, militaries, and daily lives.

A jammed signal is like cutting an aqueduct.

Medieval siegecraft echoes in modern orbital tactics.

Attribution is murky.

A flicker in signal—solar flare or sabotage?

Resilience comes from dispersal, not walls.

Mega-constellations mimic villages, not castles.

The siege is ancient—but rewritten in orbital script.
