The Beast, thrusters going full-blue, flowed through the enchanting garden that was space.It was on an expansion mission, to chart territories that no Xanterian had ever ventured into. So,it floated. And floated. And floated...Until it stopped, in the middle of a nebula.
Suddenly, and explosion rocked the ship. Capt. Winters staggered on the bridge.
" What was that?! " He demanded from his navigational officer.
"...Pirates, sir. By the looks of it, a small band. "
" Pirates? Engage evasive manuevers,release plasma-torpedos, and power-up blast cannons! "
He roared as another blast shook the ship.
The cannons were the first ones online. They began releasing rounds onto the sleek and fast pirate ships,not to try and destroy them, but merely keep them occupied. The plasma torpedoes were the real threat to the pirates. Once they were locked on to a ship, few escaped their Mach-2 speed. They Beast took hits, but not as many now, since pirate numbers were being decimated by the second. In the end, all that remained was the tattered and torn Beast and free-floating molecules from the destroyed pirate vessels. The Beast limped back to the closest Xanterian space dock, and the newfound nebula was dubbed,"00Pirate".....
However, this was not the end of the expedition. There was still alot left to explore, and the Beast left the space-docks later that week, newly repaired and sailed into the unknown once again...
OOC:I plan to make this a sort of social RP between my nation and others.
