Humans Repay Their Debt and the Galaxy Trembles in Fear

from Short SciFi Stories on the go · host Kelli Korner

Their small research station in the next system, diverted every emergency supply they had to help the human colony, saving 12,000 lives. Despite the Veltaar's peaceful nature and total lack of military defenses, the hegemony issued an ultimatum, evacuate within 30 days or be pacified. Before the human fleet, the stars opened to reveal a horrifying sight, a massive crow's in Armada, more than a thousand warships, surrounding the blue-green world of Veltaar prime. They targeted the Croson command ships first, then communications relays, cutting off their coordination before crippling their weapons and engines. As the surviving Croson vessels fled the system, Admiral Chen sent one last message that would echo across every world in the galaxy.
