The skies blaze with war. The daylight is sliced by intersecting flames of ion drives and punctuated by starburst explosions; contrails of debris raining into the atmosphere become tangled ribbons of cloud. The nightside sky is an infinite lattice of shining hairlines that interlock planetoids and track erratic spirals of glowing gnats. Beings watching from rooftops of their cities can find it beautiful. From inside, it's different. The gnats are drive-glows of starfighters. The shining hairlines are light-scatter from turbolaser bolts powerful enough to vaporize a small town. The planetoids are capital ships. The battle from the inside is a storm of confusion and panic, of galvened particle beams flashing past your starfighter so close that your cockpit rings like a broken annunciator, of the bootsole shock of concussion missles that blast into your cruiser, killing beings that you have trained with an eaten with and played and laugh and bickered with. From the inside the battle is desperation and terror and the stomach-churning certainty that the whole Galaxy is trying to kill you. This is the battle you fight in. The battle you may die in. But it's still a battle. |
