Chapter 17: Exploring the Alien Cruiser

Wei stood in the observation tower of his base, gazing at the polluted horizon of the junk planet. His orbital ship was beginning to take shape, now equipped with advanced weaponry and defensive systems. However, he knew it was far from fully operational. With the unlocking of Warhammer 40k technologies, he saw unprecedented potential to create destructive weapons and powerful support systems.

The Ghost floated beside him, analyzing the HUD data. "We've detected a new area: a partially buried alien cruiser in the southwestern sector. It appears to be linked to remnants of the Empire from the Star Wars Outlaws universe."

Wei opened the HUD and reviewed his objectives, noticing something he had overlooked: unlocking the basic technologies of the very universe he was trapped in.

Wei frowned. "It doesn't make sense for me to be in this universe without taking advantage of what it offers. I'll start there."

Unlocking Star Wars Outlaws Technologies

The Ghost detected a ruined data depot near the base. "It's an old Imperial control center," it informed him. "If we can access it, we might integrate basic technologies from Star Wars Outlaws."

Wei hopped onto his Scrap Speeder and headed to the site. The depot was a rusted structure, guarded by a small group of raiders and patrol droids.

[Alert: Enemies Detected]

Armed Raiders (Level 6) Patrol Droids (Level 7)

Wei used his Scrap Sniper Rifle to take out the raiders from a distance. The droids were more challenging, but he used his Hand Blaster and strategic cover to defeat them. After clearing the area, he accessed the central terminal with his Hacking Tool.

"This will come in handy," Wei said, grinning at the new possibilities. "But first, the alien cruiser."

Exploring the Alien Cruiser

The alien cruiser in the southwestern sector was massive, with a hull design that seemed to blend Star Wars technology with something older and more alien. The Ghost detected a strong energy signature in its core.

"This ship must contain advanced Warhammer 40k technologies," the Ghost noted.

Wei approached cautiously. Heavy droids patrolled the area, and the structure was unstable, with parts of the ship collapsing.

[Alert: Enemies Detected]

Advanced Alien Droids (Level 9)

Wei used his Scrap Sniper Rifle to pick off the enemies from a distance, but a group advanced too quickly. Activating his Light Fragment, he created a barrier to block the attacks while retreating to a safer position.

After defeating the droids, he reached the ship's core, where a strange device glowed with violet energy.

[Items Collected:]

Advanced Fusion Core (Warhammer 40k) x1 Dimensional-Energetic Structures (Warhammer 40k) x2

"This should be enough to start building the Nova Lance," Wei said, hauling the materials back to his base.

Building the Nova Lance

Back at the base, Wei used the newly gathered resources to craft the most powerful weapon he had ever seen: the Nova Lance.

[Nova Lance Constructed!]

Description: Fires a concentrated energy beam capable of obliterating ships or entire structures. Operational Requirement: Advanced Fusion Core.

Wei installed the Nova Lance on his orbital ship, now equipped to face any threat.

Wei looked at the ship he had been painstakingly building. It now boasted advanced weapons, defensive systems, and integrated technologies from multiple universes. But he knew the planet still held more secrets to uncover.

"I can't leave yet," he said. "I need to explore everything this place has to offer before I go."

The Ghost hovered beside him. "There's still much to discover, Wei. But with each step, you're becoming stronger."

Wei smiled. "Then let's keep going. This planet hasn't seen what I'm truly capable of yet."
