No matter what was happening on the far side of the stars no matter how many unknown dangers were out there–Tycoon Farm on Planet A001 remained calm, steady, and full of life.

Sunlight poured over the newly opened fields. Fine mist from the irrigation system formed tiny rainbows in the air. Fresh seedling swayed gently in the breeze, their young leaves stretching wide.

Workers moved busily through the fields. Tourists laughed and played nearby.

Elizabeth stood at the farm’s newly built private spaceport. Behind her were Desmond, Melton, Tiffany, and Skylar.

All of them were looking up at the same spot in the sky.

In the distance, a few black dots grew larger and larger. A low rumble filled the air–deep and different from the sound of civilian spaceships.

Ten spaceships, painted in gray–blue, came into view. They had no clear numbers or logos. Flying in perfect formation, they movec steadily toward the landing zone.

These spaceships weren’t new. In fact, they looked a little old.

Their hulls showed small scratches and marks from years of use. But that only gave them a tough, battle–worn feel.

Five of them were larger–classic mid–size transport and patrol spaceships.

The other five were smaller and more agile–light assault craft.

“hey didn’t look flashy. They even seemed a bit worn, very different from the sleek private spaceships parked outside the farm.

But everyone there–including Elizabeth–lit up with excitement.

One by one, the spaceships landed in their assigned spots. The engines powered down, and the doors slowly opened

Desmond stepped forward first. As the former captain of the Hewitt family’s security team, he knew military gets weit.

Melton and Skylar followed close behind. Tiffany held a tablet, ready to record and check every (bing

The moment they stepped inside the first mid size spaceship, even calm and steady Desmond showed a hint of suspose

Skylar gasped out loud, eyes wide

The inside was completely different from the outside

Though it had been cleaned up and stripped of obvious military markings and some special control panels. the overall structure piping, and core systems clearly showed its origin

This was military

The walls were made of heavy duty alloy The main supports and bulkhead doors were reinforced

The power core had backup systems. The life support system ran on independent loops. Strong connectors and pipeline channels ran throughout the spaceship.

This wasn’t scrap.

These were well–maintained, still–powerful spaceships–close to active–duty level

“Boss, look here!” Skylar said, like a kid who found treasure. He pointed under the main console at a panel that had been caref covered, but not fully hidden. “This is a standard tactical data link port for mid–size spaceships! The main computer might be downgraded, but the hardware is still here. And look at this armor…”

He knocked hard on the wall. A deep, solid sound echoed back. “This is at least twice as thick as civilian transport spaceships!

He ran to the side and pointed out the window at the outer hull. Faint lines like muscle patterns could be seen, along with a few small bumps. “See those? Those are mounting points for light energy weapons and defense systems! The weapons are gone, but he bases and power channels are still there! Oh my God–just a few upgrades, and this thing could easily take on regular pirates!”

Damn.

He used to think the mercenary fleet he worked with had top–level spaceships.

Now he realized–they weren’t even close to military grade.

Desmond stayed calmer. He had seen spaceships like this before during his service.

Still, he nodded and added, “The power core is an Ironclad–3 model. Not the newest, but tough, reliable, and easy to maintain. Output is stable. The navigation and comm systems may have been simplified, but the core structure is still military–redundant and resistant to interference.” He looked around again. “These spaceships are in great condition. Hardly overused. They may be called ‘retired,‘ but they feel more like reserve units from a standard equipment upgrade.”

Melton checked the passenger and cargo areas and nodded in satisfaction. “The living space and cargo capacity are both larger than civilian spaceships of the same class. The layout is better too. We could convert these into dual–use passenger and cargo spaceships, or even specialized cold–chain transport spaceships for fruits and vegetables. Plenty of space–and much safer.”

Tiffany happily wrote everything down.

She didn’t fully understand the technical details, but from what Desmond and Skylar said, she knew these spaceships were far more valuable than expected

Elizabeth walked through each spaceship with them.

From the largest transport spaceships to the smallest assault craft, they all shared the same pattern. Plain on the outside But inside, they had strong military qualities–and huge potential for upgrades.
