Space Warfare in the Future

Time: July 1, 3060, 8:00 a.m. Location: The Kuiper Belt at the edge of the solar system Aboard the Starry, a warship in Earth's Defense Fleet, Li Wei sat in the command chair, his eyes fixed on the large screen before him. Beside him, Tian Fengle operated the instruments with tense concentration, a faint sheen of sweat on his forehead. The other members of the Starry's crew were all at their posts, their expressions serious. The communications officer, Xiao Zhao, listened intently for signals in the area, while the weapons operator, Xiao Qian, gripped the weapons control stick, ready for anything. Four other warships surrounded the Starry: the Courage, the Hope, the Glory, and the Guardian. This fleet was a patrol squadron sent out by Earth to monitor anomalies at the edge of the solar system and keep Earth safe.
