The difference was noticeable almost immediately. The onslaught of sieges that the first ten armadas had bombarded the War of Webs with became visibly less effective. Light beams that previously managed to breach energy shields and dent starboards and ports now simply disappeared—
WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!
They disappeared into a layer of darkness that seemed like it wasn't even technological in nature. Under the direction of Divine Mother —o-o—o, each ship that was able to had activated singularity lattice shield technology, a rather high-level form of technology that was so antithetical to laser beams that laser beams had been phased out among the most advanced civilizations of the Orion Star Strand.
A devastating siege of light beams that would have blasted the interdiction force simply got absorbed in the blink of an eye. But that wasn't the only shift that occurred in the siege dynamics between the two fleets.
WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!
