The Roronoa Star System was a giant void of floating debris.
Legolas had heard this numerous times from Champion Onana, he confirmed it during the 5 days of travel and at the end of it, he finally arrived before the single largest object floating in the space called this star system.
Bzzz!
As soon as they descended from warp travel, the warship reacted.
Wom! Wom!
[Warning! Volatile energies detected!]
[Warning! Gravity exceeding ship limits detected!]
[Warning! Ultra-radioactive energy detected!]
[Warning! Ship has been pulled into a gravity well!]
Bzzz!
The Legolas Baron was immediately pulled out of control towards the center of the gravity well as Planet Titania flexed the sheer power of its gravity.
Due to the spinning warship, Legolas could not lay eyes on the planet yet but he was amazed. 'It is exactly like Champion Onana warned!'
'Such powerful gravity and radio-active energy!'
'Thankfully, we heed his words to upgrade the hull of the Heavy Cruiser and to install enough gravity stabilizers and shield generators'.
Without hesitation, he gave orders to his crew.
"Activate the gravity stabilizers!"
"Activate all the layered energy shield generators!"
HUM!
The Legolas Baron, Ella's greatest creation as a Technician Mechanic stood up to the test of this gravity storm when its integrity was called upon.
Humming with power, the stabilizers activated by the warship fought against the overpowering gravity being unleashed by this planet even as the multiple shield generators protected the hull from the concentrated radiation emitting from it.
The effects were instant, the uncontrollable spin of the warship slowed down before gradually slowing to a total stop.
Having regained back control over the warship, they were finally able to focus on the absolutely gigantic planet that hovered before them.
Like Champion Onana described, Planet Titania was a true hegemon in space.
Planet Darvis seemed like a dwarf planet when compared to it.
'Damn! 20 Earths won't even fit into this monster planet!'
'It's like a mini Jupiter'.
Thinking of the absolutely hegemonic planet from his previous life that could fit in 1,300 Earths, Legolas felt goosebumps as a thought crossed his mind. 'What if there is a planet like Jupiter in Dominator and it supports life?'
'Damn, my colleagues are definitely crazy enough to create something like this, I need to be on guard against anything like this'.
Removing the distractions from his mind, he focused back on what was before him, Planet Titania.
He finally paid attention to the extreme radiation forming distinct layers around the gigantic planet that Onana already told him about.
He was fascinated and amazed. 'What an immense construction of radioactivity!'
Once all the warships stabilized, they did not go in immediately, they instead roamed around the planet probingly.
After suffering the consequences of barging into this Planet the first time, Champion Onana was now extra cautious. Despite killing the Bug Emperor already, he was still cautious to make absolutely certain that the coast was clear.
The deep scanners of the warships worked overtime to penetrate this gigantic planet with Onana's Frigate taking the lead.
After dozens of minutes of doing this and discovering no threat, in a formation already predetermined, the warships finally entered the planet's atmosphere as they were engulfed by its radiation energy.
Once they penetrated the dense cloud of radiation though, the true inner of Planet Titania finally presented itself before Legolas.
Everywhere he looked, he saw only gray and black.
"A true metal planet!" Legolas was amazed by the sight.
It was a stunning sight, everywhere across this planet was flat, there was no green vegetation, no ocean, no craters, just metal everywhere.
The offshoots in the planet were no green plants either, they were strange metal plants that were somehow able to grow in this planet.
'Damn!' Legolas felt envious. 'And Champion Onana said these are just the surface metal, deep inside this planet has even more valuable metals'.
Legolas sighed, he had only one conclusion for what he was seeing. 'Planet Titania is a Mechanic's heaven'.
This time, all the warships were finally able to dock without any dangerous tail suddenly lashing out to destroy the life out of them.
Coming out of the Golden Cicada, on finally setting foot on this planet, Champion Onana changed, he felt possessed.
His eyes changed, they were excited, they were maniacal.
In the end, it seems everybody had their manic side.
"Hahahaha…!"
"Hahaha…!" He was like a man possessed.
"So much metal…!"
"So much metal I can never run dry even after centuries…!"
Champion Onana collapsed on his knees. "It was all worth it!"
"The pain, the sleepless nights, the training, the worry, the stress, everything, it was worth it to take on the Bug Emperor!"
"It was f*cking worth it!" He was going crazy in excitement.
He felt emotional. "Hardwork and determination pays afterall".
Once he was finally able to calm down, activities started instantly in this planet. A metal planet, especially one this large was not something that Onana had any hopes of truly occupying anything soon but he had to start from somewhere.
Having prepared ahead of time, he led his crew of mechanics who started implementing his plans by first building a large mechanic workshop in this planet.
From there, everything else went smoothly.
In a few days, a massive mining base was built. On the 5th day since their arrival, led by Champion Onana, the first mining vessels finally dug into the metal planet as they started mining activities officially.
[Metal detected!]

***
Hearing the notifications constantly beeping from the mining machines, Champion Onana felt that Legolas' analogy was right, he felt like he was in heaven.
Every sound from the machines gave him great pleasure and ecstasy.
Every new metal detected felt like a shot of adrenaline in his blood.
By the end of the 2nd day since they started mining, they already mined enough metal to build 2 Heavy Cruisers while at the same time, getting more than enough high quality metal for another comprehensive upgrade of Berserker.
Champion Onana was excited, he hated a certain set of people more. "Whoever says hardwork doesn't pay is not just foolish, they are my enemies!"
