honestly though space battles must be terrifying

there’s no air in space, so sound can’t travel. which means that you
can’t hear projectiles hurtling towards you until it’s too late. you
have to rely on your ship’s sensors – and if they fail…

sound
can’t travel in space, so if your friends are hit, you might not notice
at first. one minute you’re chatting away over the comm, the distant
sound of plasma cannons charging up for another round, the sound of
barked orders and then – silence, punctuated only by the crackle and hum
of static, and your own ragged breaths

there’s no air in space,
which means that debris becomes as deadly as cannon-fire, hurtling
through the air unchecked by gravity or air resistance, forming a deadly
maze of twisted metal to navigate around. even a small shard of
shrapnel can break pressurised glass when moving at high speed.

there’s
no air in space, so if you’re fortunate (or, perhaps, unfortunate)
enough to survive the destruction of your craft, you won’t last long
enough to scream, let alone be rescued.

besides, nobody would hear you if you did.
