Thanatos Rises, Pt 1
Avathii VII, Avathii System, Imperial Domain of the Boundless Drogar
The Imperial port beacon above Avathii VII was in utter ruin. Its armor plating had been wrenched open and torn apart, seemingly by heavy weapons fire. More critically, its internal systems had also been ripped out and shredded violently, which left the entire beacon a smoldering husk.
All around the wrecked beacon were dozens of Imperial fighters and mecha, all of whom had been equally ruined. They slowly spun in place as their liquid circuits bled out from their shattered carcasses.
But that was hardly the end of the destruction that hung over Avathii 7. There was a trail of crippled Imperial ships in which a handful of heavily damaged frigates and destroyers floated alongside the numerous fighters and mecha.
