As the Sub-light Engines gradually came online, the silver fleet swiftly disappeared off the flank of the Roscolan Family's fleet.
The gravitational wave detectors worked at high speed, continuously probing for the positions of planets within the Lightless Domain.
Unable to observe the planets' positions directly, Iax had to regulate the fleet's speed.
Using the approximate planetary positions Worman had provided, Iax continually corrected course and steered the fleet clear of every possible civilian shipping lane.
The Heavy Assault Cruiser served as the fleet's spearhead, clearing the way at the very front, with the massive Industrial Ship following behind.
Next came Iax's Command Flagship, the Pektaro, and two HG Transport Ships.
The entire fleet traveled through space in a straight line like an arrow in flight, moving at one-tenth the speed of light.
Aside from restricted navigation and abnormal Warp energy, the Lightless Domain posed no particular environmental threats.
Neither plasma storms nor sudden particle bursts were common in this region, where planets were scattered extremely far apart.
This also made it convenient for Iax to charge straight ahead toward the outside.
For Imperial Ships and other civilian vessels, waypoints were critically important locations.
All ships traveled through realspace at sub-light speeds, slowing near each locally recognized waypoint to adjust their course.
After all, colliding with anything at sub-light speed would leave any ordinary ship shattered to pieces.
Iax completely ignored this rule.
The lance weapon on the Heavy Assault Cruiser's prow gleamed. The front of the fleet would tear apart anything it struck.
The nano-swarm would repair any damage within seconds. Unless they plowed headfirst into a planet, the fleet would not slow down at all.
Whenever the Lightless Domain appeared, merchants seeking enormous profits from price differences were not the only ones who grew busy.
There were also
