The Rhytil’s Retaliation: An Unexpected Response

Just as Lena thought the momentum was shifting in the Alliance's favor, a new threat emerged. Out of the depths of the Ghalan Belt, massive Rhytil warships appeared, emerging from hidden asteroid stations. It was clear they had been lying in wait, and the Rhytil were ready to unleash their counterattack.

Tavon's voice crackled through the communication line. "Lena, there's an entire fleet emerging from their hidden strongholds. We didn't account for this level of reserve force."

Lena's grip tightened on her chair. "Prepare our defenses. We have to hold our ground, or the entire offensive will fall apart."

The Rhytil fleet was unlike anything Lena had faced before. Their ships were massive, heavily armored, and bristled with energy weapons capable of wiping out entire fleets with a single shot. It was a harrowing sight, one that reminded her of how far the Rhytil would go to protect their power.
