The planet that Windchime resided on was in a state of destruction. There were billowing clouds of black smoke everywhere as if it had recently been ransacked.
An emergency alert blared the instant the Impaler exited its wormhole.
"Alert! Unknown warships rapidly approaching our current position."
Xia Fei hastily glanced at the radar system and noticed that there were two frigates swiftly accelerating toward him.
"Activate the energy shield and have all weapon systems at the ready. Lock onto all enemy targets."
*Shum!*
The plume from the Impaler's engine burst out, very quickly doing a complete about-turn with its powerful propulsion, making a burn straight for the two frigates which were heading toward him.
The radar system indicated that the two were Amarrian Tormentor-class frigates, possessing decent firepower and defense, though their speed and maneuverability were lacking.
