Gossip ran rampant across the World of Azeroth, and domestic soap operas dominated the ratings. Azeroth's people had seen enough storms to stay unfazed by ordinary major news. Small stuff—no need to panic.
However, one exceptional piece of news instantly seized the front pages and headlines of every news outlet, drawing the eyes of the entire world.
The Night Empire's first main battle warship equipped with a mature jump engine had officially been completed and was now docked at the port of Sarodar Divine Kingdom Planet.
This large main battle battleship had been named the "Light of the New Order." It was a space warship steeped in Night Elf cultural characteristics. Based on theoretical projections, its combat power was estimated to be on par with the Burning Legion's main Fel warships.
The psionic jump engine provided the warship with powerful energy, while a large-caliber Titan energy cannon had been installed at the very front of its shuttle-shaped hull.
The energy cannon was a massive energy-gathering crystal, floating directly before the ship's bow as it slowly rotated.
Three smaller auxiliary crystals were positioned around the bow, orbiting the shuttle-shaped prow. Three beams of energy connected them to the primary energy-gathering crystal in front of the bow.
This large-caliber energy cannon could fire an Energy Ray that lasted for an extremely long time. Moreover, as the attack continued, the ray's destructive power would gradually increase until it reached the energy-gathering crystal's overload threshold.
Once that threshold was reached, the crystal's Energy Ray would automatically spread to other targets around the primary target, achieving an area attack effect.
This Night Elf main battle warship had not been fitted with secondary cannons. All remaining space had been filled with energy shield generators, providing the vessel with a tough eggshell that was hard to break.
