<span class="mu-b">”Exploration frigate- engage!”</span>
At your command, the Frigate advances on the Baalathi in the Nan system. <span class="mu-i">Your</span> system. The Frigate moves forward and is attacked by a small amount of defensive and shield drones, similar to the ones used in the first and second capsule wars.
The enemy drones attacks with their plasma whips and neutrino blasts, which are easily absorbed by your recent fuzz-shield advancements. The nice thing about these is the entire ship is no longer being drained of its power to keep up a defensive barrier, it automatically adjusts to stop incoming energy weapons as they go. You don't think even a small army of these drones could blast through your shields.
<span class="mu-s">*BZZT!*</span>
With a sweep of your fusion powered laser, the Baalathi drones are easily blasted apart. Once, those shield squid machines required the full power of a dual fission core and the power of your Sapphire Avalanche to defeat. Now? Your basic defense lasers barely register the drones as they are blasted into space dust. Easy! The might of the Hegemony reigns supreme!
Not everything is so peachy though- your order the frigate to fire upon the space platform. Your weapons are ineffective- blast! Those space platforms are coated in <span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-i">Azurium</span></span>; probably recycled from the cylinder the Baalathi sent here to colonize this planet. That would make sense. Then, your frigate is damaged- not by a weapon, but by kamikaze drones. Shit! They are flying underneath your shield generators and smashing into your ship. Thankfully, the armor plating of the frigate is hard enough to resist- but it does mean they can hurt you. Evasive manuvers are enacted and the frigate flies closer, underneath the orbital platform and closer to the planet.
“Woah...”
The entire planet is practically infested by Baalathi. Basic scans are estimated somewhere in the tril... no, quadrillions. Judging by the first Capsule you ever opened, a full population of Baalathi “colonists” would not equal even a tiny fraction of one percent of this number. Even if this capsule arrived here centuries ago- how is that possible??? How could they reproduce so fast?!
