Chapter 54 - Chapter 54: "The Fall of Luprax's Armada"

"All units, jump! Target: The imperium Caelestis!"

The command echoed throughout the fleet, breaking the silence of space. With a thunderous roar, the twenty main battleships surged forward, followed by a countless number of cruisers and frigates, all joining the jump through hyperspace.

"This time, we'll erase the Human Empire from the galaxy map!"

The fleet commander's voice rang out, full of determination to defeat an enemy that seemed beyond imagination. But beneath their pride and confidence, the threat ahead was very real.

This armada was a loose coalition of space pirates and mercenaries, each with their own ambitions and personal goals. At the front, the most notorious pirate crews stood, fearless in the face of any foe.

"Kill them all! Find them! Burn everything!"

The commander, whose head resembled that of a dog, howled, his voice full of hatred and greed.

But then, a panicked voice suddenly cut through the comms.

"Luprax!!"

The broken voice sent a chill down the spine of every officer aboard.

"What is it?!"

All eyes turned toward the front, where a massive silver warship floated serenely, as if daring any threat to approach. It was an Eclipse-class Super Star Destroyer—far larger than any Titan-class ship they had ever faced. Surrounding it were several other enormous warships, accompanied by strange mechs flying at impossible speeds.

"What is that?! Mechs with cannons on their shoulders?!"

Luprax, the pirate commander, stared at the imposing warship, his face drained of color.

"We have to jump! Everyone, jump now! Hurry!"

His voice boomed across the fleet, but fear laced his words. As an experienced space pirate, Luprax knew what this meant. The bigger the warship, the more powerful its firepower. His smaller ships wouldn't stand a chance.

"Sir, we can't jump! The jump system's malfunctioning!"

A panicked cry from the pilot was clear and urgent.

"What?! How?!"

Luprax rushed to the control seat, his eyes wide with disbelief. He frantically tried to take control of the ship now trapped in chaos.

"Damn it! Why isn't this working?! Why can't we jump?!"

Anger exploded from him, his fist slamming into the ship's wall with a deafening clang as the metal hummed in protest.

What Luprax didn't know was that the four massive spherical structures attached to the Imperial warships in the distance were Gravity Anchor Launchers—devices specifically designed to prevent enemies from escaping through hyperspace. There was no escape.

"Fire."

Kylo Ren stood at the command bridge of the Eclipse-class Super Star Destroyer, his gaze cold and sharp as he watched Luprax's fleet, now ensnared in their control.

The command left his lips calmly, but every word heralded destruction.

Tens of thousands of energy blasts shot out, mercilessly tearing through the vacuum of space. Explosions rang out one after another, tearing Luprax's ships apart, one by one.

It was a sight beyond description. The explosions lit up the galactic sky with hellish brilliance, erasing thousands of lives each second, with no mercy.

But that was just the beginning.

The Legion Mobile Suits, towering and imposing, appeared amidst the chaos. The massive mechs wielded enormous lightsabers, cutting through enemy warships with trained precision, as though slicing through paper.

Other mechs fired massive laser cannons, obliterating enemy frigates in an instant, leaving them no chance to fight back.

In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of ships were erased.

TIE Fighter Squadrons, TIE Interceptors, and TIE Bombers launched from the hangars of the massive Imperial warships, swarming into the void and unleashing a deadly storm of laser fire onto the enemy fleet.

"Support the Mobile Suits! Take down their warships—don't let up!" a command pilot barked over the comms.

The battlefield blazed with crisscrossing lasers—red, green, and blue energy bolts lighting up the darkness of space. Both the Imperium fleet and the alien pirate alliance clashed in a brutal storm of destruction.

"The shields are failing! Our energy's not enough!"

"Break formation—now!"

"But friendly ships are around us—"

"Screw them! Evacuate immediately!"

Among interstellar pirates, there's no such thing as loyalty. They joined this battle for profit, not for honor. But now, they realized they were up against a true military superpower. The Human Empire didn't just have numbers—it had sheer destructive power and advanced tactics. And worst of all... the Mobile Suits.

Imperial Mobile Suits zipped through enemy formations like living blades. Some carried giant cannons on their shoulders, others wielded massive lightsabers that sliced through enemy warships like butter. One by one, pirate ships were pierced by laser fire and torn apart by plasma blades—nothing could stop the onslaught.

"Damn it! Luprax and the others are trying to flee!"

But they were too late. Under the coordinated firepower of the Seventh Fleet, the mercenaries and space pirates ignited like fireworks in the cold, empty galaxy. One explosion after another bloomed in the black void, a grim celebration of their defeat.

Without the protection of the flagship, the remaining small ships had only one option: to evade. They desperately tried to dodge the constant bombardment and missile strikes, but most of them couldn't escape. Explosions rocked the void, tearing apart several ships, leaving debris scattered across the dark expanse of space.

"Send the remaining forces, eliminate the enemy completely. Not a single one should survive!" Kylo Ren commanded, his voice cold and brutal. He knew that to defeat the enemy this time, they would have to push to extremes, showing no mercy.

In the midst of the battle, TIE fighters and interceptors came in, moving like shadows, relentlessly harassing Luprax's forces. The coordinated attacks were overwhelming, destroying pirate ships in an instant. Explosions rocked the battlefield, further scattering the remaining enemy forces and adding to their despair.

With his fleet, the Seventh Armada, Kylo Ren unleashed the full force of his power to wipe out the remnants of Luprax's forces. The massive assault decimated what was left of the pirate armada. There was nowhere to hide, no chance to survive. In mere moments, Luprax's fleet was utterly annihilated, vanishing into the darkness of space.
