After witnessing the Silver Surfer getting into a battle with the Royal Family, Maximus took advantage of the situation and used his ship to attack the Great Refuge. He fired electron beams at the battlements and breached the city-state's first line of defense. Guards defended themselves using gun placements, and even the Royal Family took up arms to keep the ship at bay. After enduring sufficient ground fire, the air-yacht was greatly damaged, and Maximus was forced to flee. [1]
