When the drones released their stored energy in the form of unwanted clutter, the EMP burst out the surface of the Zenith for the first time. Chaotic pulses choked the communication channels, overloaded the network signal between the Zenith and its fighters, as well as fried the fragile radar and antenna systems. The EMP had physically and permanently brought down the communication network. The shock wave even formed a visible discharge phenomenon: a fine, hair-like arc that erupted between the drones and swallowed up the entire Zenith space station. The electromagnetic pulses swept across the surface of the Zenith and fried all communication installations.
The EMP also immobilized a large number of Executors, which had insufficient protection against the electromagnetic attack.
