Chapter 1280: 413. Like an enemy, like a friend
United Bureau’s permanent security forces are of two types.
The first is the Security Guard tasked with guarding the large star gates; they usually station near the star gates and do not leave their posts, hence they are also known as Customs Guards or Star Gate Guards.
The second type is the Mobile guards that move within various star systems, typically consisting of at least one engineering expert, one negotiation expert, and one combat commander, along with 13 interstellar ships.
Six combat escort ships are responsible for anti-missile defense and destroying drones, three battle cruisers handle electronic warfare and anti-jamming operations, three battleships provide firepower output, and one raider ship offers strategic support and heavy reinforcement.
The mobile guard that appeared near the man-made black hole was commanded by Captain Leighton.
He graduated from the Dikaja Federation Space Navy Academy and, after serving five years in the United Bureau, successfully advanced to the rank of captain and acquired his own fleet.
Generally, either the formal space navy of the Dikaja Federation or the United Bureau’s security forces would not get involved in players’ affairs.
But this time was different.
The black hole that appeared in the deep space zone of the Lisom Star System had caught the attention of the United Bureau.
Moreover, the extraordinary characteristics displayed by this black hole have given many human cosmic powers, including the Dikaja Federation, hope in mankind’s ability to harness the power of black holes.
Therefore, under the guidance of various human cosmic powers, the United Bureau stepped forward and sent Captain Leighton to negotiate with the mysterious individual in the black hole.
Intelligence indicated that the black hole was likely created by an extraordinary individual who possessed magical powers.
The Metal Creation Group had previously provided the United Bureau with a decrypted document.
The content of the document revealed the existence of a highly developed magic civilization within the black hole in the Cane tip seat.
Clues related to magic have emerged in both black holes.
The black hole in the Cane tip seat was huge and intimidating.
Compared to it, the black hole in the Lisom Star System was just a tiny speck.
Given the choice, anyone would pick the smaller black hole that seemed easier to handle.
So, Captain Leighton brought his fleet here.
Joining him were the engineering expert Cam and the negotiation expert Doris.
The latter two did not participate in the fleet’s combat missions but only provided advice in ship maintenance, engineering construction, and public relations.
“Should we follow the Undying’s example and board the escape pods to approach the black hole?”
On the Domic unmanned battleship, Leighton discussed with the two experts in the control room.
