In the deep darkness of space, two warships of similar size but radically different designs "brushed past" each other.
Boom! Boom!! Boom!!!
With its Composite Shield completely gone, the Enrojet warship erupted in explosions across its hull under the bombardment of Curvature Missiles.
Countless breaches were blasted through its thick, sturdy outer armor!
Driven by the pressure difference, the gas inside the warship rushed out through the breaches.
The high-speed jets of gas carried fragments of unidentified equipment and some of the Enrojet crew with them.
As the warship's emergency repair protocol activated, an unknown substance rapidly sealed the breached areas, stopping the gas from escaping.
The next second.
The Gravity Bombs that had reached the stern of the Enrojet flagship detonated with a thunderous blast.
An intense flash of light vanished into the darkness, and vast amounts of energy transformed into a powerful gravitational field.
Creeeak...
Powerful tidal forces acted on the flagship's stern, making it emit a series of sharp, grating creaks.
The Antimatter Engine nozzles, which had been spewing intense radiation, abruptly went dark-the deformation of their basic structure had forced the Antimatter Engines inside to cut thrust in an emergency shutdown.
Perhaps because the Gravity Bombs' output had deliberately been reduced, the powerful gravity vanished completely after only a brief instant.
This also prevented large-scale damage to the enemy ship's hull.
Ten Gravity Bombs detonated in succession, completely disabling the enemy ship's propulsion system.
When the last Antimatter Engine nozzle went dark, the ponderous flagship became utterly trapped, able only to drift slowly forward on its remaining momentum.
The third spatial rift had only just formed and had not even been fired before it slowly dissipated into the vastness of space-the flagship had only 10% of its power output left, barely enough to sustain its Curvature
