The Pitch Black Explorer's structure had sustained severe damage, and a large number of its compartments had been destroyed.
Naturally, the assault troops aboard it had suffered heavy losses as well.
On top of that, under these circumstances, it was difficult to organize a complete defensive line.
The Pitch Black Explorer was undoubtedly at a natural disadvantage in boarding combat.

"Sir, rest assured. Even if
