Mechanic Unearths Forgotten Warship in Hangar The Truth Behind the part 02 of 02

The maintenance-based dim emergency lights threw long flickering shadows across the forgotten hangar, as Raza carefully descended the old, rusted gantry stairs. Raza had worked the station's tunnels long enough to know its countless shortcuts and forgotten chambers, but nothing he had ever stumbled across could compare to what now stood in front of him. Her once proud hull was scarred with deplasma burns and pitted with impacts from micrometeorites, signs of long forgotten battles, despite the damage she remained whole or relic from another age. The ship's registry plate confirmed her identity, the defiant dawn, a tarant battle cruiser over a century old, built during humanity's very first expansion beyond the Saul system. If Captain Chen's message was right, the defiant dawn wasn't just an old relic.
