Nice to see your still going and not a bad chapter.

Still it does seem odd 'word reaching then navy' I mean they of all people need to know what the enemy is doing.
Well remember they don't have FTL comms all the messages are sent via messenger ship or warp drone. And Warp drones are expensive so they are very rare except for absolute emergencies on a fleet wide scale.

So "Word reaching the navy" is because it would take time for he message to reach the intelligence branch and then time for that message to reach the Navy as a whole.

Stil going with TWs I see, nice fudge on those technobabble focusing lense by the way . Still may I introduce you to the simple joy of KE weapons: Take one 6kg lump, accelerate up to 0.1c and it will do about the same damage as one of those spinal I-Lasers (in pure MT terms at least) as well as being far smaller. Something to think about perhaps?
Yeah but solid shot wouldn't punch through the null space (void) shields so it wouldn't really be a good idea besides that energy weapons don't require a large magazine while solid weapons do.

And yeah Terawatt seems to work for now
