The Federation 'ssenger' class fighter, capable of short-range super space-ti navigation, possesses average combat ability. Although it lacks any special strengths, it is very suitable for executing complex and varied second- and third-line tasks and is the standard equipnt at star harbors in each Star Domain of the Federation, under the administration of Star Harbor control.
When this Starship was about to arrive at the Star Harbor, it temporarily changed direction, heading into space. This alerted the Star Harbor control center, which began to open communication channels, requesting the Starship to halt for inspection.
Unwillingly, not only did this conversation fail to yield results, but the Starship also hastened its preparations for curvature navigation. Observing this, the Star Harbor urgently dispatched fighters for interception, using interference-retarding missiles to prevent the Starship from entering curvature navigation status, temporarily trapping the Starship.
[Warning, warning, our side has been fire control locked by the other side...]
Inside the Starship, the sharp warning sound blared, and red lights flashed.
In the command center inside the bridge, nurous technicians were urgently adjusting various Starship modules to prevent the Starship from being paralyzed in space.
"What do we do? This Starship lacks space weaponry, we can only take the hits passively, and if ti drags on, nearby patrol fleets will arrive, making escape impossible." Several young officers were extrely anxious.
"Silence!" Yade roared, bringing a mont of calm inside the bridge, though the piercing alarm sound continued unabated.
"Reinforcents will arrive soon. The most important thing now is to buy ti. The Star Harbor of the Polarized Crystal Star Domain may not know the truth. So long as we don't act like ruthless pirates, they might not destroy the Starship."
"Now, shut down the super space-ti engine and, at the sa ti, send a signal indicating we are willing to accept inspection. From here to the Star Harbor is still a distance of several thousand kiloters; even if they send people to board, it would take considerable ti to prepare." Yade calmly analyzed.
At this point, the people inside the Starship cald down, while at the bottom of the Starship's hull, a special escape pod was stationed, guarded by nurous soldiers.
"If the situation truly becos dire, let Lord Blanchi eject aboard this vessel. The shield deploynt device arranged on it can protect her from explosions and jet damage."
An officer and a mber of the Cult were negotiating.
"Is there only this one escape pod?" The Cult mber questioned, perplexed.
"There are three, but this one is special. Given the high risk of the operation, we've specifically prepared many expensive components to enhance its protection and escape capabilities." Perhaps most aboard will perish, but Blanchi must survive, which is a sentint shared by many soldiers in the mission.
"Let's hope it doesn't co to that." With this, even the mbers of the Cult sighed in resignation.
In space, five Space Fighters saw the Starship gradually reduce its speed and the superluminal engine slowly extinguish. They stopped attacking but continued to issue warnings, instructing it to remain stationary and accept examination.
Ti passed by, tense second by tense second. As the Starship ca to a halt, the Star Harbor began dispatching boarding teams; transport ships sailed out from the Star Harbor toward the stalled Starship.
An hour later, the transport ship started docking, clamping onto the Starship, while fully ard soldiers began to board.
The Starship was deathly quiet inside as the soldiers split into six squads and started inspections. Initially, everything was normal, but when the squads approached the power system, combat suddenly erupted.
The ambushed black soldiers opened fire with full force, instantly shooting down the front squad of the boarding team. Luckily, the caution of the boarding squads allowed them to quickly erect shields and urgently retreat, avoiding further casualties.
"Report, mission failed! There are still resisting personnel inside the Starship, and they are nurous. All boarding personnel, return to the transport ship and signal the surveillance fighters to destroy the power system at the tail of the Starship!" Facing attacks, the boarding commander imdiately issued the withdrawal order.
They ca to take over, not to engage in an assault. If there are still resisting personnel inside the Starship, the consequence would be outside fighters continuing attacks until the Starship is destroyed.
However, the patrolling fighters outside may not receive his signal. Shortly after the boarding teams entered, several indistinct dots appeared again in space, swiftly approaching.
The five fighters barely had ti to send out warning signals before several particle beams shot through the cold space, slicing these five fighters into burning fragnts.
These light points were three of the most advanced and swift 'Trace Lightwing Class' starships, and the attackers were six High Rank cha ejected from the Starship's internal hangars.
As top-tier comrcial starships, the 'Trace Lightwing Class' are costly, with few even in the entire Western Star Domain. Securing three on short notice was already the limit. As for military starships, although so are faster than the 'Trace Lightwing Class,' they all belong to the Central main fleet, beyond the possession of the Western Star Regions and patrol fleets.
"Have they arrived?" The elderly man on the Starship looked at the screen projection and data, his anxious heart slightly relieved.
"Commander, the General sent a ssage informing us that we have only 40 minutes before the pursuing Starships from the Central Star Domain arrive quickly."
"Understood. 40 minutes, Gain sure thinks highly of an old man like ." He once served in the army, although he had retired long ago. The personnel on these three starships were also retired veterans, urgently gathered, coupled with the original Starship crew, rushing over as swiftly as possible to execute the mission.
