The engines ascending into the sky belched scorching plasma, their blazing exhaust forming a shower of light flowing in reverse.

The dozens-of-meters-long muzzles looked grim in the blackness of space. It was said that the macrocannon caliber of a Glory Queen-class battleship exceeded six hundred meters.
