Space race pendant

A great pendant of sterling silver, copper and brass with three retro-styled rockets. Comes with whimsical story to match!

This medal is traditionally presented to the victorious pilot of the Interplanetary Federation of Rocket Racers in its annual Solar System Slalom. The event was limited to pre-27th Century liquid fuel rockets in the late 34th Century, and special restrictions were put in place regarding the use of time travel to “supercharge” older rockets. This actual medal was one of the many won by the famous Space Pirate Henrietta, who was the winner of 376 consecutive races until she was caught circumventing the aforementioned time travel restriction and was forced to sell off her medals in order to fund her (ultimately fruitless) legal defense.
