The Battleship Apocalypse is running on empty…
The ship’s power plant is called a Hayes Reactor. Safe, clean, efficient, it can produce enough energy to meet the needs of an entire planet, and its only waste product is pure distilled water. It has a 0.00001% chance of failure.
Of course, given the luck of Iorgi Murrett and the crew of the Battleship Apocalypse, that’s more or less a guarantee.
Without a power plant, the ship has no defenses, no weapons, and no propulsion. It’s up to Captain Murrett and his crew to find a replacement before the bad guys find out and take the initiative.
But nuclear reactors are expensive, and the Apocalypse is a big boy…
