Snippet #2404166

A large red ship seemed to just materialize in Niihana's orbit. The ship was the size of a corvette or a cruiser, but was easily unlike any ever seen before. A large cannon hung below the main body of the ship, which was sleek and riddled with what could be escape pod ports. The fore of the great ship had a large green gemlike structure set just above the guise of a dragon. On either side of this was a weapons bank, from which emerged the forward guns. The thrust of the ship was provided by four afterburners, each one set in such a way that they would move individually, like the wings of a bird.
