The war room aboard the Ark hummed with quiet intensity as Ethan and his crew gathered around the holographic table. The swirling blue lights of the Zantheri Nebula, projected from Nova's data feed, painted the room in a soft glow, casting shadows on everyone's faces. They had been briefed on the mission by the Earth Defense Force: disrupt the Shadow Council's supply chain, cripple their war efforts, and buy the galaxy more time to prepare for the inevitable confrontation.
Ethan leaned forward, his hands resting on the edge of the table as he studied the map. "Alright, this is it. We're going deep into the Zantheri Nebula. Intel says it's a neutral zone, but we know better. The Shadow Council has been using this area to move key resources, weapons, fuel, tech, everything they need to keep their war machine running."
