Pulled to the Front, Pt 3
Rhylen Terra, Vencal System, Major House Felrahn
The space above Rhylen Terra was akin to a graveyard. Littered all around the wrecked orbital station were the carcasses of numerous warfare vessels, from carriers on down. Everything was torn or blasted or ripped apart, and hung in the dead of space.
It almost seemed like a vast asteroid field, if those asteroids were made of jagged titanium plating and structure.
Floating amidst the detritus were warped sheets of shredded armor plating, destroyed modules, and frozen corpses. Some spun in place slowly, as though they were in an eternal last dance, frozen in the moment of their untimely destruction.
Hidden among the wrecks, tucked neatly behind the vast shell of what used to be a Felrahn cruiser, was Maetel’s Lament.
It floated serenely in space and did its absolute best to appear to be one of the many dead ships around it.
