Space Battle

Ansa launches Hooting Star, a small Meteor-class spaceship crewed by Philippe Rochefort, Abdullah Helu and Wa Chaou;

during a launch, the negagrav screen for that part of the mother ship has to be turned off and, in this case, a torpedo approaches but one of Wa Chaou's guns destroys it;

Hooting Star pursues the boat that had launched the torpedo;

Ansa and Ganymede try to saturate the defenses of a light battleship;

an energy beam from the enemy boat touches Hooting Star which veers automatically;

any hole caused by the beam is small enough to self-seal;

Rochefort sees the enemy and drives his ship at it;

two beams hit Hooting Star but Wa Chaou destroys their sources before they do serious damage;

Rochefort sees the symbol on the side of the Ythrian boat;

Wa Chaou destroys an Ythrian torpedo and Hooting Star's torp hits the Ythrian;

a fragment of the exploded boat hits Hooting Star;

meanwhile, the enemy battleship is destroyed.
