Skjold Corvette

Redid is a word and I googled it after I thought it wasn’t. Also I’m too lazy to delete the original(story). Who are the truly successful? “The truly successful are the ones who die old,” Dave told himself. He commanded a small corvette a quarter kilometer long. That’s about 328 footsteps of an average person from bow to stern. From the front tip to the rear. Currently Dave was sailing as fast as he could out of the gravity well of a nearby star. The bridge’s main monitor showed a bright red blip coming closer and closer to his ship. “All Hands Code Red Battle Stations!”

A black corvette sized ship was flying through space at max speed. A short distance behind the black corvette was a gray destroyer sized ship giving chase. Both ships were firing their weaponry at each other. One could see the difference in technology on either ship. The gray ship didn't have any visible propulsion while the black ship did. Even the weapons were vastly different. As time passed, damage was accumulating on the hull of the black corvette. One of the two rear engines was no longer working and parts of the interior were exposed. It was then that the ship started to warp and get blurry. The gray ship became slightly frantic and actually used all of its weapons. Many of the shots hit the corvette just before it disappeared into warp time. The gray destroyer gave up the chase and turned around, leaving the battlefield behind.
