SES Shadow of Destruction

SES Shadow of Destruction is a Savage Dragons corvette assigned to the 25th Fire Safety Battalion, operating as the silent outrider to the SES Diamond of Destruction. Where the Diamond arrives as spectacle and holy flame, the Shadow moves ahead under darkened running lights, mapping enemy positions, marking fuel stores, and designating priority targets for cleansing fire. Her crew are specialists in low-signature insertions, close-orbit pursuit, and “pre-ignition” strikes: the sudden disabling blows that leave an enemy trapped before the Dragons descend. Among the 716th, her reputation is simple—if the Shadow is seen over a battlefield, the firestorm has already been approved. Her unofficial creed is whispered across the 25th: “Where the flame has not yet reached, the shadow goes first."
