While the Void Fleet swept through the remains of the Minotaur's 7th Light Fleet, the last fragments of resistance tried to flee.
Some of them still had functional FTL modules.
They tried to escape—initiating emergency jumps, leaping into hyperspace.
And they did jump.
But they didn't get far.
Within seconds, their ships were pulled back—snatched from hyperspace by something they couldn't see.
Obliterator Spatial Multiplication Modules had locked the entire combat zone in a layered gravity well.
FTL didn't fail—it just didn't work.
The moment a ship enters hyperspace, it is pulled into a false lane, one created and controlled by Obliterator itself.
Like running into a trap hidden inside the very fabric of space.

Minotaurs panicked.
They realized they were dealing with some unknown tech—something they had never seen before, let alone prepared for.
No matter how advanced their drives were, they couldn't break through.
The battlefield was a cage.
