[Breaking News: The Swarm Annihilated by Mysterious Bounty Hunter]

Anchor: “Good evening. Tonight, we bring you a story that is nothing short of extraordinary—a tale of heroism, destruction, and mystery that has left the entire Glamoth Republic stunned.”

In a campaign that has dragged on for years, costing countless lives and draining resources, the Swarm—an interstellar plague of destruction—has finally been eradicated.

This monumental victory, however, did not come from the Republic's mighty fleets or elite soldiers.

Instead, it was the act of a single, enigmatic bounty hunter whose identity remains shrouded in secrecy.
Reports confirm that the Swarm’s annihilation occurred in the Rynora System, where fleets of the Glamoth Republic had been locked in a grueling stalemate for over a decade.

Witnesses describe a dazzling, apocalyptic event—a massive sea of fire that erupted from the void, consuming the Swarm's endless hive-ships in moments. The blaze illuminated the stars, leaving even veteran commanders speechless.

Admiral Kaelos, a senior officer leading the Republic’s forces, expressed his astonishment:

"We were preparing for yet another prolonged engagement when this... phenomenon unfolded. It was like watching a sun ignite in the void. And then, they were gone. The Swarm... just gone.”

Who, or what, was responsible for this unprecedented strike? All evidence points to a lone figure—a bounty hunter operating on the fringes of galactic law. Witness accounts suggest this individual wiped the Swarm with but a swing of a sword that lit the vacuum of space in a sea of fire, this individual's feat was far beyond anything the Republic or private sectors have ever encountered left everyone deeply stunned.

After the Swarm’s destruction, the bounty hunter vanished without a trace, leaving no transmissions, no debris, and no clue as to their identity. Speculation is rampant across the Republic. Was this a rogue military operative? A vigilante with a vendetta? Or, as some suggest, a figure of almost mythic proportions—a lone warrior sent by the cosmos to deliver salvation?

Glamoth Senator Ardyn Kael shared his thoughts: "Whoever this bounty hunter is, the Republic owes them an eternal debt of gratitude. But their anonymity raises unsettling questions. Why did they act alone? And where are they now?”

The people of the Republic, while relieved by the end of the threat of the Swarm, remain captivated by the mystery. Some celebrate the bounty hunter as a hero. Others worry about the implications of such destructive power being wielded by a single individual.

For now, the galaxy can only wait and wonder: Who is the shadowy figure who lit the stars with fire and ended an era of fear in a single, decisive act?

This is Roen Folner, reporting live from Glamoth Prime. More updates as the story unfolds.

"Ha..." Uriel sighs as he gazed upon the starry sky of a backwater planet, an agriworld in the Beldora Sector.

Dismissing the holo-screen after seeing the reports of what he did in Glamoth which was a bit of an overkill.

"In my defense the swarm was big really big." Uriel thought as he crunched on a native fruit of the planet.

He took a rest on one of his safe houses which no one but him knows as he had it made with a bit of his power.
