   A true war between advanced civilizations has begun: a cosmic game beyond imagination. Both sides are like chess players on a cosmic chessboard, placing their pieces on a scale measured in light-years. Every strategic deception is intricately linked, every tactical illusion concealing deadly intent. Perfect traps are woven from light-years away, waiting for their prey to walk right into them. Light-year-level detection capabilities render the battlefield transparent; any tiny flaw can lead to devastating destruction. Warships must maintain quantum cloaking at all times; even a trace of excess heat radiation could reveal their coordinates. Deadly is the meter-level precision of short-range teleportation technology. An enemy ship that was at a safe distance one second could appear face-to-face the next. This unpredictable maneuverability makes each side a persistent nightmare for the other. The pace of war is breathtakingly fast. Strikes are completed in seconds, taking only the time it takes for a heartbeat to complete. Any slight oversight, any momentary hesitation, can become the commander's final regret before death.
