Chapter Ten

L’grae looked over at his sensor officer, “Anything on the board?”

“Not yet. They may now be reluctant to follow any of our trails.”

L’grae nodded, “I can’t say I blame them, since they’ve lost two hundred ships. I suspect they know by now that even if they chase us with a fleet they will lose their ships as soon as they enter normal space. A hundred ships firing high energy beams continuously as they enter is more than they can handle. They can still only enter the location one at a time.”

“The fleet is waiting with charged weapons, but nothing has shown up on the scanners yet.”

“They’ll come.” The Sensor Officer looked skeptically at him. “They can’t tolerate someone challenging their superiority. Oh; they’ll come.”

L’grae’s ship was three hundred thousand miles from the ships waiting in ambush. Tenah had forbidden him to take part in an attack. Seems he thinks I’m too valuable. L’grae snorted at the idea, but followed orders and kept his ship at a safe distance from the point of emergence. The Sensor Officer said, “Something’s coming through.”

“What do you mean, ‘something’?”

“This drive signature is huge, Sir.”

L’grae looked at his board and saw a ship emerge into normal space that stunned him. It was gigantic. “What is that?”

“I don’t know, Sir. I’ve never seen that class of Moet Ship before.”

The giant grey ship was easily a hundred miles long and sixty miles thick. It has a huge tower in the center that rose more than thirty miles above the body of the ship. It was covered in beam projectors and missile launchers. All hundred Alliance ships were firing nonstop, but nothing was getting through the ship’s force fields. L’grae stood and yelled, “Get them out of there… now!” His Communications Office hit his board, but they had waited too long.

The Moet Dreadnaught Master watched his display as the small ships fired their beams at his force field. He was almost reclining in his command chair. He glanced at his weapons console, “Do you have them targeted?”

“We’ve had them targeted from the moment we cleared no-space. You told us to wait and see if they could penetrate our defenses.”

“It appears they are unable to do that?”

“Their beams are quite strong, but are below the threshold necessary to penetrate.”

The Master was angry that he had been forced to leave the Dynasty’s home system to come deal with this nuisance. He was going to miss several social events. The Dreadnaughts had never before been used to defend the Supreme Master’s Dynasty. He lowered two eyestalks and thought about how enemies always seemed to get stronger and stronger. He looked at his display panel and saw the silver ships continuing to fire their weapons. He casually waved an arm as he took a drink from a goblet and said, “Eliminate them.”

L’grae watched as the behemoth opened fire on his fleet. The speed of the fleet’s destruction was staggering as silver ships began exploding on all sides of the Moet. Missiles homed in and beams struck ships causing huge explosions.
