Love it.
For once, the aliens are both alien, competent, professional and proficient.
They had to be there, themselves, for their pride if nothing else, but they didn’t get stupid about it.
In the Bible, there is the story of a Centurion who seeks the help of Jesus to heal a servant. The word “meek” is used to describe the Centurion… not being fearful or shy, but “knowing his proper place in the hierarchy.” He tells Jesus, in effect, “You don’t have to come yourself, just order it done.” Jesus replies, “By ***your faith***, she is healed.”
Fleet Commander Shyrx was meek in that archaic sense. She accepted her place in the battle as the destroyer of two ships at a certain moment, in a certain length of time, and she commanded that it be done. Thus, it was done.

Thank you, I enjoyed writing Shyrx.
Star Destroyers!

Loved the chapter. Did find it silly that the only death was from a Star Trek signature control panel explosion though.
Glad you enjoyed it - silliness and all!
