Triumph
After getting rid of the interceptor fleet, Apophis's squadron headed towards the Federation mega-cruiser.
Apophis broadcasted his military code, hoping to avoid any interference before getting close to the capital ship, but there was no immediate sign that this would pay off. He had no idea if the code was even still valid!
But the closer he got to the stellar battle, the more dizzying it became.
Warships were destroying each other all over the planet's atmosphere, and there was a frenzied viciousness to it that was almost baffling. Even Apophis, a veteran of almost a decade in the game, had to admit that he'd rarely seen a battle of this magnitude and this intensity.
Suddenly, a huge concussion shook Apophis's ship! A Federation heavy cruiser had just exploded, and its shock wave of gasses and ammunition had consumed the three Imperial ships which had been pursuing it.
