The core of the Ghost Fleet Cluster was a massive Planetary Fortress, nearly three times the size of Earth. It was a true behemoth even compared with many of the Empire's active Planet Warships. According to Sandora's calculations, its combat strength was enough to rival the simplified "Zero"-class starships currently built by the Empire. It could be said that this was the most advanced thing we had encountered that had been created by a non-Empire civilization. It fully proved that the Void was vast and home to countless civilizations. Although the Empire stood at the pinnacle of all mortal civilizations, there were still advanced civilizations that, while inferior to the Empire, remained immensely powerful. These Ghost Fleets, despite their unflattering appearance, undeniably possessed the ability to travel, remain stationed, and fight in the Void. They even had Planet Warships guarding them—and not just one. As mentioned before, the Ghost Fleet Cluster had ten scattered cores. We had only encountered one so far, and this Planet Warship was one of its ten starships. In every respect, the former creators of these Ghost Fleets had been rather impressive.
But no matter how you put it, the design style of these ships was truly beyond criticism—and not in a good way.
We had been advancing through this "Rotten Potato"-brand Planetary Fortress for more than ten minutes, passing through who knew how many forks. The twisting tubular passages ahead seemed endless, as did the branching intersections. The scanning system showed that the surrounding space was always a network of interconnected routes, indicating that we still had not left the starship's outer "interlayer." The interlayer was a term unique to Planet Warships. It referred to the spherical shell surrounding a starship's functional sections. This shell housed weapon slots, Shield Generators, hangars, and all sorts of
