As the veil of the Warp was lifted once more.
A fleet gleaming metallic silver emerged from the Warp.
The Bio-fleet drifting in space immediately noticed the strange fleet facing exactly the same direction as itself.
Iax checked the Star Map, somewhat taken aback. According to the information available before departure, an Imperial Fleet should have been stationed in this system, which contained a civilized world of the Imperium.
The Tyranids' Bio-ships quickly recognized the Pectaro among the fleet.
The entire mass of Bio-ships immediately turned and surged toward Iax's fleet in unison.
Seeing how different the Bio-fleet was from before, Iax quickly compared the differences between these gigantic creatures.
The shells of these Bio-ships differed somewhat from before, now tinged a faint gray.
But since the enemy had already attacked, Iax would not hesitate.
The fleet opened fire with every weapon, unleashing torrents of high-energy particles.
Although the Swarm Striker was not as large as the Command Flagship, its weapons were more densely packed. It resembled a Dagger without a hilt, with exceptionally smooth upper and lower decks. Its reinforced prow boasted thick, multilayered armor and edges almost as sharp as a Monomolecular Blade.
Dense arrays of weapons were installed beneath the midsection decks of its immense, heavily armored hull.
These Heavy Assault Cruisers were dedicated pest-extermination tools. Iax had equipped them not only with Relativistic Particle Emitters, which ordinary Assault Cruisers did not carry, but also with Neural Ripper Cannons scaled up from Neural Ripper Guns.
Dense neutron beam arrays had outright replaced the conventional large-caliber electromagnetic cannon arrays.
As biological beams rippled across the Energy Shields.
Iax quickly noticed something unusual.
The high-energy particle streams that had once easily pierced the swarm were still effective, but their effects had been greatly diminished.
Apart from the diminutive Frigate-class
