"The second hidden weapon is the so-called Beta Ships." Major Verle spoke up. "The five seemingly-derelict pirate vessels that are parked outside of Xiphard Base are not as innocuous as they look. When we showed the scans of the ships to Fleet Commander Kronon, Commodore Evern and some of our chief engineers, they all reacted with shock."
Ves flipped through the contents of the data pad until he came across the detailed blueprints of all five Beta Ships.
They were roughly similar ships. Their corroded and cheap exterior were actually false coats. Underneath their ugly outer layer, the layers below actually consisted of larger amounts of Kavenit alloys.
What was remarkable about the Beta Ships was how solid they were and how little functionality they contained.
The ships featured very little interior spaces! Instead, many places that should have held compartments were actually filled up with solid Kavenit alloys!
