STARCRAFT COMBAT IN THE FAR FUTURE
The Cronos, a Provincial Carrier vessel, had just dropped out of Hyperspace when battle-claxons sounded throughout the ship.
” Gunners to stations!”
came the alarm. Tod Jairus rushed down to his fire control center. Piling into the gunner’s crib he pulled on a comm-link and looked out of the shielded bubble over-hanging his triple Ion Cannon mount. At first all he saw was a multitude of nameless
stars…
Over the comm-link he heard; “Thirty plus aggressors. Gunners check in!”
” 22 powering up!” His voice wavered. “I register seventeen inbound T-MACs,” Tod glanced up from his HUD: five Idorian strike fighters had just streaked into view, Laser Cannons ablaze. The Cronos’ screens crackled lightning.
His target acquisition light blinked green. Payback time! “22 firing!” Tod punched the lon Cannon discharge
toggles. . .
