Although players had grown used to all kinds of "CG scenes" after entering the universe, they were still shaken when a starship over ten thousand meters long came crashing down from outer space in a blaze of light and fire, surrounded by star pirate ships lurking in the darkness like evil wolves. Floating cannons circled the colossal ship, constantly spraying energy beams. Tens of thousands of beams pierced through thick metal plating, blooming into cruel flames in the silent vacuum. The ship's bow slammed into the dwarf planet's surface, instantly creating a massive crater, while billowing smoke and dust rolled in the direction of the bow, forming a huge dust explosion that directly swept dozens of unlucky players away, turning them into white light.
At the same time, drop pods came plunging from the sky. Some exploded open before even reaching the ground, and one star pirate after another leaped out.
As for the exploration ship, space twisted from time to time. Every time it warped, hundreds of star pirates appeared, slipping into the ship through the gaps between the large structural plates. Their movements were so practiced that they were clearly seasoned veterans.
"Ding." "Ding." "Ding."...
Almost simultaneously, a Tier-2 Difficult mission popped up on the players' systems.
