Somewhere deep in the vast expanse of Sector 99 Mid—
A ship, darker than the void itself, moved with a terrifying grace between the scattered celestial bodies. Its pitch-black hull was so absolute that even if it passed directly beside an observer, it would remain invisible to the naked eye. Only the most sophisticated scanning devices, long-range sensors, and advanced array systems could detect its presence.
And make no mistake—this was not some spectral or ghost ship. It was not a slender, agile craft designed to slip undetected through space, nor was it layered with dozens of hidden systems meant to scramble enemy sensors or evade observation. Instead, this vessel was built from incredibly dense, ultra-durable materials, its structure heavy and imposing, designed for endurance rather than stealth. The majority of its onboard arrays were purely defensive, built to repel attacks and endure bombardments that would crumble lesser ships.
