"Fire Impact Crater Missiles now!" yelled out the captain of the ship called a
Ghost.
"Firing in 3… 2… 1!" said the weapons navigator.
Nine missiles fired from the left, right, and front. They sailed towards the Space
Federation's ship.
"Impact in 10… 9…" he continued.
"Good," replied the captain. He thought of how his planet was as barren as the
deserts on the planet they were raiding. The thought of his family dying of starvation and
thirst angered him.
"Sir! Severe damage to Federation ship!" one of the radar personnel said. "Ship
has retaliated with missiles and two beam cannons! Damage is expected to be severe!
Orders?"
The captain growled. "We can't do anything but take it; brace for impact!"
The two beam cannons blasted their shields open and the missiles proceeded to
penetrate their defenses further. The damage was severe but was not effective enough to
stop them in their tracks.
"Report!" the captain yelled.
"Severe damage to port! Closing bulk heads!" said some of the crew on the
Bridge.
"Call in backup; we can't lose this fight!" ordered the captain.
"This is a battle we must not lose or else our planet, our families will die" the
captain thought. "Keep firing our remaining weapons!" he exclaimed.
