Fleet Command's Enigma Ship Vol 1 excerpt

Pegasus' bridge crew watched as the Linitron Beam weapon their ship just fired at the enemy Perseton battlestar began its lightning fast expansion and destruction process. As the ever efficient sinister beam expanded, it melted and devoured everything it touched. As the intensity of the beam rapidly grew, it doubled its size and strength every tenth of a second. It engulfed the battlestar and Its appetite for the enemy warship and everything inside grew as well. It was like a giant space monster that gobbled up everything in its path. There was no way to stop the hungry terrifying "monster" and in less than a second the enemy warship began to disintegrate.
As the Perseton command ship began to disintegrate, four photonic torpexes struck each of the other two ships and rendered them just as defenseless as the first. Those ships too had been caught off guard by the sudden arrival of Pegasus and didn't have a chance to react. First came the penetrator beam and then the photonic torpexes. Death came very fast this day for those on board the Perseton battlestars. The enemy warships never knew what hit them!
