The planet's defense grid activates, hundreds of thousands of previously cloaked defense stations decloak, an immensely powerful disruptor shield forms and effectively stonewalls the ship's attempt at ramming. The vessel erupts into a massive, multi-megaton nuclear explosion.
(Disruptor Shields of this type (Fissi-Variant) operate by forcefully splitting the atoms of whatever it's defending against. This clearly doesn't work against energy-based weaponry, that is blocked by an Electro-Disruptor field which disrupts energy, this is going off topic. Basically, Disruptor Shields split atoms, very quickly, you know what else splits atoms? Nukes; and such we get to see why these shields stonewall ramming attempts, they literally nuke the rammer into oblivion. Now normal disruptor turrets use the same mechanic, but are far weaker and such don't do nearly as much damage, but they do increase in effect based on the density of armor. Denser armor receives more damage from Disruptors. This is how the ship was destroyed by the planetary shield, it was turned into a nuke on it's own. I do realize I never pointed out this exists, and am sorry for any story I just prematurely killed off, but this is an important part of NH lore. Expect the defense stations to use heavy disruptor weaponry as well, considering they are why the shield operates.)

After about a minute of travel, the feeling of being watched subsides as space darkens, camera footage of the travel only register a brief flash of light, but no passage of time was digitally recorded. As if time stood still between the entering of the portal and the exiting.

A patrolling petty fleet enters visual range of the small ship, the 30 frigates raise shields as they approach.
