He never believed his nemesis perished in the Unity Fleet assault on his base. Now, he's about to be proven right in the worst possible way and at the worst possible cost...
The Unity Sphere celebrated when the Unity Fleet destroyed Master Chaotist Hetz and his destructive organization, the Black Diamond, in a surprise assault.
