Killed in ISD 16701 during the Battle of Berenike by the Cielcin fleet led by SYRIANI DORAYAICA. The attacks on Marinus and Berenike, in hindsight, appear to be a trap designed to kill First Strategos Hauptmann.
Behind the gray skies were made white with the flash of annihilation to shame the very sun.Annihilation.
For a moment, neither man nor Cielcin moved, and all was still in Deira but the flames.
Then the chilling alien cry rose up again, and a voice deep as the waters of Vorgossos spoke from below in the tongue of men. “Your fleet is gone.”
Peering down from the battlements, I saw the thirty-foot monstrosity standing there, its bulbous head and glowing metal eyes sweeping along the line of the battlement, and knew that deep voice was its own.
Not to be persuaded by the enemy, I radioed the command center. “Report.”
It was not Aristedes who answered me, but the grim voice of Leonid Bartosz. “They came out of nowhere. The Cielcin got a . . . got one of their ships inside Ondu Station defenses. Blew their own reactor.”
Cold iron seized my heart. “And the fleet?”
“Reeling. Mostly destroyed.”
“Hauptmann clustered them too close,” Lorian said. “Set off a chain annihilation.”
