      Astralis - The day of the gods

      A.J. Mitar

      They flashed through a tear in the space-time continuum; they were only five ships, but they caused our sensors to malfunction all the same. They had the power of a thousand stars, hurled against the Teyon fleet. Did the Divine Creator hear our prayers?

      The new Teyon ships, even the fastest and equipped with most advanced weaponry, proved ineffective: it was impossible to stand up to those vessels spewed from the unknown.

      That unbelievable energy pulse even vexed our technology. The last spy satellites, along with all of our trans-atmospheric detection systems, were destroyed.

      That day, I was in service at Qirit, a secret site four jaf below the surface of the Piot range; my task was to coordinate the monitoring of the movements of the Teyon fleet, which was guilty of having halted all of our routes to the mining belt. The strategy of interrupting the supplies of raw materials was bearing fruit: the shortage of metal had inflicted a fatal blow to our metallurgical industry. Our fleet had been decimated and, because we were not able to build new ships, our defeat was inevitable; it's just a matter of time before the war would be lost.

      An annoying sound was hammering intermittently on our eardrums.

      My Lord, an enormous gravimetric distortion in sector 10.1, five million jaf from the second belt of Ghaat Jakiat, the sensors officer, warned me.

      But it is in the heart of the Teyon space: it's where they hold the bulk of their warships, class Huy.

      I confirm what I just said, my Lord: it is a distortive phenomenon of the space-time fabric, at the coordinates 10.13.00.12. The efficient officer sent
