Death 5 Minutes (Part 2)

On one of the three moons of Terminus Planet, which had been occupied by the Fourth Civilization, Matt Hona had constructed a large Mass Driver with a caliber of fifty meters.

However, because he lacked the resources and time to build a reactor powerful enough on that moon, the Mass Driver's power was extremely limited.

In fact, Matt Hona's original idea had merely been to use the Mass Driver to bombard Terminus Planet's surface.

But they had achieved their objective.

A nail fired from the moon slammed directly into the relatively weakly armored hangar platform hatch of that Prosecutor-class battlecruiser.

It was a ship produced by the Technological Alliance under the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

A Droch-class boarding ship!

This type of boarding ship had been tailor-made for boarding actions—indeed, the Confederacy of Independent Systems had countless droids but lacked sufficient transport capacity, and the Confederacy's military commanders had naturally noticed this.

To make up for that weakness, they had genuinely considered the possibility of boarding operations.

This boarding ship was 18.51 meters long, with two-thirds of that length accounted for by four powerful mechanical arms. The arms were equipped with high-powered laser welders capable of cutting through the outer armor
