No one took the newsflash seriously: a rogue Vandorian Annihilator Class Heavy Fighter encountered and destroyed 10 Artronian EXTREME DEVASTATORS in a sole engagement. Perhaps the lopsided defeat had been due to the incompetence of the Artronians...that belief was shattered when the FORESTER, an Earth Force Frigate, that was despatched to apprehend the Vandorian Annihilator was destroyed by the abovementioned fighter. There is now a galactic wide search and destroy mission underway.
About this creation
It seems the ship is piloted by none other than the infamous galactic pirate, VALGUS. Apparently, his theft of the Vandorian Annihilator was not random - it had something to do with the fact that Vandorian ships are Organic Symbiotes, rendering most ship-based countermeasures useless against it as they are mostly calibrated for electronic opponents.
With 8 front-mounted Ion Blasters, the Annihilator specializes in concentrated, heavy frontal attacks.
Interesting design. I can't say that I feel bad for the Artronians though. Then again, that was a major impact on their fleet of extreme devastators =P
