Contest Of Wills

My super ship exploded shattering the enemies tight formation and sending them into disarray meanwhile I kept focusing down the enemy ships whose shields were weakened from the blast claiming 5 more kills and finally bring both forces to parity in fleet strength. The battle soon sorted itself out with me as the victor though barely the ship I was aboard was taken out and I barely escaped from it and as I scanned the battlefield there was only one severely damaged planetoid ship left which I made my way over to quickly. After the battle I redesigned a few new ships and included some new upgrades and ideas because obviously I'd need even more powerful ships if this war went on.

I called my newest creation the star destroyer I know not that creative but hey it what it was designed to do the big pyramid shaped ship had not a single visible weapon and had not a single storage bay for cargo it was a pure warship and it was armed with the single most powerful weapon system I could create and had armor so thick that I actually had to imbed my polarity drives into it to make sure it was covered and it wasn't just big slabs of material but alternating layers of materials that would defend against energy and physical based damage respectively. Inside the ship held a second hull which held all of the critical components inside yet another armored shell which honestly could have fit my old omega class ship inside in fact all the extra space was taken up by systems designed to improve its travel speed making it both the largest and fastest ship in my fleet. My star destroyer is a marvel of technology I used every trick I could to make it stronger faster and more deadly than its predecessor and I made 3 of them one for each galaxy and then I made one just for me.

My custom star destroyer was built to even higher specifications than my normal ones I used rarer resources in its construction resources that were extremely hard to acquire but that made the difference between my ship and a normal version laughably massive. The AE2 as I called it had armor that would passively reinforce the shields and some limited self repair capabilities and could withstand twice the damage of the armor scheme that I'd used for my other star destroyers I added a few personal tweaks to the paint and weapons the paint was done up to look like a golden Gould mothership because if I'm gonna be a target may as well be a big neon sign and the weapon systems were all designed to fire golden plasma beams. Yeah I went full nerd on my personal starship even the paint was special lol the other upgrades included the best systems I could install and basically I used up all of my rarest resources to build the best possible ship for its size that I could.

I boarded my custom warship and headed out once more this time leaving behind my pathfinders I worm holed to a new galaxy on my own I felt that I had done enough and it was time for a bit of a break from my routine and maybe I was just starting to feel the pressure of being a interstellar emperor. Traveling a new galaxy on my own had its own drawbacks but I was as prepared as I could get for every eventuality and so I found myself entering just the situation to put me on edge here I arrived at a inhabited system which was currently being attacked by needle shaped warships that honestly looked ugly to me.

I decided that I should probably intervene on behalf of the planetary population and so the needle ships vanished rapidly under my destructive plasma lances. It was after vaporizing the attackers that the com system registered a flurry of messages from the planet and I started reading them that I realized that I was dealing with a nonbiological race ie sentient machines. Finding nonbiological races is like finding a needle in carpet usually you find it painfully imbedded in your foot in this case it was not so painful as interesting as I learned about their history and how they had evolved from simple assistants and servitors even maintenance bots and how they had done their creators bidding for generations and the population had declined so the government decided to try pumping aphrodisiacs into the air and they got the mix wrong oh so wrong. The biological population had succumbed to dehydration and exhaustion from intense physical activity some from heart failure as well it painted a sad and funny picture.
