New Dawn

My ship has now been overtuned to a speed of 388. The mechanic told me that any more overtuning might cause serious damage to the systems. It's better to quit overtuning the engines now.
After thanking (and paying) him, I left the station and searched for more Assassination missions. Did not find any, but in Getsu Fune, I received an urgent message from the Argon. Their Military send out a message to all pilots for aid. They had aquired intelligence about increased Xenon activity in the sector to the north. And they feared an invasion.
The Xenon have been enemies of the Kha'ak since first contact. So the choice was easy. I accepted the call for help.

And sure enough, a short time later two Xenon K's jumped in, with an escort of Xenon L's. While a lone Argon M6 was defending itself against the Xenon fighters, I circled around the first K and fired my Kyon emitters at it's top side. That side, with the disc, is a known weak spot. I just stayed in position and kept firing my emitters untill the energy was drained. Then I waited for the energy banks to fill up again, and opened fire again. It took a while, but aftere a few minutes the first K was just a buring hulk of metal. I moved on to the other K, which by then had destroyed an Argon Solar Power Plant. I repeated my routine untill this K was terminated as well. All that was left now, were a few remaining L's. They were eliminated quickly. After the battle, the Argon hailed me and transferred 12 million credits to my account for helping them. 12 million!

Some time later, when I was flying through Boron space, I spotted a Xenon patrol. One P, some L's and a Xenon LX, the newest and most dangerous Xenon M3. I destroyed them, but in this battle, I lost one of my Kyon Beam Emitters… This is a serious problem. There is no way I can buy these in this Universe. The only way to get a new one is to find and capture a Kha'ak Fighter with this weapon on board. This will take too long and the chances are too slim. I will have to switch to a new ship now. An alien ship.

Fortunately, with the credits I made from the Xenon mission in Getsu Fune, I could buy a Split Dragon. Enough credits to equip it with weapons and shields. But a lot of credits will have to be spend on overtuning and optimizing it's engine and agility. It will never be as quick as my Fighter, but it's arsenal is impressive. With it, I can start a new chapter in my existence.
