# GAL-28: Boss Galaga & Capture Beam

Boss enemy with tractor beam capture mechanic and return-to-formation behavior.

## Sub-issues

- [x] [GAL-29](GAL-29.md) — Create a "Boss" enemy type.
- [x] [GAL-30](GAL-30.md) — Implement the tractor beam attack logic (`boss_capture_attack` system).
- [x] [GAL-31](GAL-31.md) — Player has a `Captured` component when hit by the beam.
- [x] [GAL-32](GAL-32.md) — Boss has a `ReturningWithCaptive` state to go back to the formation.
- [x] [GAL-33](GAL-33.md) — Improve the tractor beam visual effect (currently a simple rectangle).
