Some collided and erupted into balls of light, while others missed each other and shot into the farther depths of space.
Others struck the opposing hulls with precision, yet the results were vastly different.
The Norinkoden-class Destroyers of the Galactic Empire's Stellar Army could only rely on their own armor to withstand the attacks.
