However, these past two years had seen quite satisfactory technological developments.
First and foremost was the appearance of the first "Hawkhawk-III Type" destroyer in this world.
The design work for the "Hawkhawk-III Type" destroyer had begun during the past decades of travel and, through an urgent breakthrough effort by several science groups during the more than two years of manufacturing, even more powerful magnetic fields had been applied to every corner of the spaceship.
