The nanomissiles fired at the Affronter ship accelerated towards it in a cloud of sparkling light ahead of the drone; they were picked off, one by one, over the course of a millisecond, in a dizzy flaring scatter of light-blossoms, their tiny warheads and the remains of their anti-matter fuel erupting together; the last one to be targeted by the Affronter’s effector and forced to self-destruct had closed the range to the ship by less than a kilometre.
Behind, all nine of the tumbling nanomissiles must have been picked out by the effector as well, because they detonated too.

To give an idea how much acceleration this is we will use the formula Position or Displacement = .5*acceleration*time^2.
On the low end where they only moves one meter in a millisecond we get, 2,000 kps^2.
On the high end where they move one kilometer in a millisecond we get, 2,000,000 kps^2.
