Hunting Malevolence (VIII)

When the Plague Titan warship suddenly appeared at Trigalis Planet, catching everyone off guard, the battle in the Lundria system also reached its climax.

"Trigalis Planet is supposed to be a rear supply hub. How could it possibly be ambushed by such an enormous warship?" Obi-Wan Kenobi frowned.

"There is only one possibility. That warship moved
