III · Worldbuilding and Concept Disclaimer
Sport · Concept · Proposed Specification
VECTOR is in active development as a proposed orbital sport. The site presents three distinct categories of material, which the reader should distinguish:

- PROPOSEDRulebook, equipment specifications, arena dimensions, and safety parameters. These are design proposals subject to engineering review, regulatory clearance, and revision.
- AVAILABLEMerchandise listed in the shop. These are real, purchasable goods on the listed terms.
Statements about future orbital matches, broadcast events, and mission timelines are forward-looking. No sanctioned orbital match has yet been held. No regulatory authority has certified the equipment described herein for human spaceflight use.
