Setting
Were there any natives on the planets of these stars, the Antograd people would be labeled “come heres” in spite of their six-million-year-long reign over the elements of the region.
Antograd maintains a defensive matrix of drones around the entirety of Theia, which they call The Grid. Self-replicating, they number in the quadrillions—necessary, given the requirement of no more than a megameter of space separating them. Mostly communication sentries that define the borders of Antograd space, there are also hosts of combat drones and maintenance drones.

The orb would turn it's sight onto the Aschen Iconolast in the far distance. Something about it seemed to grasp it's attention. All it took was the simple gaze upon the ship and the orb was feeling the same energies that were felt by the orb on Blackrock. It couldn't exactly say who these ships were, but the technological energy emitted from these ships was enough for the orb to know it was related.
The orb would blink and it's form would vanish from beside the dragon. The orb moved on the back of the beams of light, taking it directly to the ship. The orbs energies would remain suppressed, blending it with it's environment. The orb watched as the Reverence II ship disappeared into space, being far away instantly.
The orb then felt the might Iconolast's energy growing in a sense as it powered it's FTL Drives. This is where the orb would make it's move. With the ships focus on getting out of the area, still preserving it's shields, but unaware, the orb would become engulfed in a white mass of energy that would probably throw the Aschen's senses on an extreme rise.
Within seconds, the energy was outrageous, creating ripples in the space around it. The asteroid field would fluctuate from this energy as it was released at the ship. This energy would seem as though the power of a large sun being focused in one massive beam at the ship. Anything within it's path was instantly dematerialized, whether it be any material or light, leaving a trail of Black Matter behind it that was spreading, consuming everything in it's path. If this blast was to hit this ship, it would easily eliminate it. If the ship reached it's full spool of energy and began to jump, the blast was moving fast enough that it would follow it through.
Once the blast was released, the Orb would vanish again. The Orb hadn't gone far, it had simply moved into the blob of Black Matter that's presence was ever growing, consuming the space around it. It wouldn't take but a matter of seconds to unleash this attack and disappear again, hiding from any remaining ships in the space surrounding it. Something the size of a softball would be hard to track with no energy presence now and in the midst of Black Matter that would consume anything it touched and spread faster if attacked all while protecting it from any attacks unleashed in this direction.
THe Pandorians recieved the messages. Captain Fields used a stronger broadcast system now to inform the Board of Admirals, the Diplomatic Comitee, the rest of the fleet, and the Systems Council on everything. While technically in charge, at the very least she needed to contact Fleet Captain Ramora Bergi for this level of decision making. As a Fleet Captain, Ramora Bergi was authorized to make on point diplomatic decisions of this calliber, and Ellen Fields would only have authority if Fleet Captain Bergi was unreachable, as she had command of this patrol fleet.
Ramora quickly replied to her request. "Diplomatic Actions will proceed as planned. According to gathered intel, caution is advised, but hopefully will be irrelivent".
"Alright, when we have gathered our diplomats and escorts, and the data is confirmed with our Government, we will meet you there" she told them.
With that, they proceeded to scan the area for pirates, on the off chance others are lurking in the area.
The orb would then begin to emit an energy. This energy was acting as a beacon towards any surrounding ship. The beacon was nothing special, just an energy reading capable of a being picked up by a ship. While casting this energy signal, the orb would make it's path towards the Pandorian ships.
"Maybe one of these ships could give me a ride somewhere.." The orb chimed as it continued a path towards the main Pandorian ship.
