OMEGA PULSE ARRAY

With a final countdown, the solar array reached critical mass. The gathered light from Helios was funneled through a series of amplifying lenses, concentrated into a narrow beam of blazing energy. The beam erupted from the array, slicing through space with incredible speed and force, aimed directly at the Death Star. Across the Wing Race's system, the people erupted in cheers and relief, watching the beam hurtle toward their enemy.

But on the Death Star's bridge, Lorraine Melissa remained unmoved. The Wing Race's desperation, while commendable, had been predictable. She had studied their technology, anticipated every defense, and even this—an array powerful enough to turn their own sun into a weapon—was within her calculations.
