The ships damaged in the last ambush battle had gradually been sent back to Shadow Space. They had undergone preliminary repairs in the military worlds along the border, basically recovering their mobility and around fifty percent of their basic functions. Next, they had to be overhauled in the higher-level starports of the capital before they could be fully restored. There was no helping it. The ships most heavily damaged in the previous battle had basically all been modified warships. The Vengeance Legion's ships and the specially outfitted warships under Sikaro could only be restored in the capital.

I meant, they directly fused with their warships. The entire Vengeance Legion had no ordinary soldiers. Every ship, from the smallest Assault Ship to the largest Avenging Angel-class T2 warship, housed a Vengeance Legion soul. These ships were half weapons and half living creatures, their prototypes being the Old Empire Autonomous Spaceships we had captured during the Great Nebula campaign. The core components of these Autonomous Spaceships had evolved by themselves and currently could not be mass-produced, so the Vengeance Legion's ships could not be repaired through the existing industrial chain. The Military Industry Department and Research Center had jointly established a specialized maintenance division to conduct special repairs on the Vengeance Legion's warships while also studying their systems, hoping to quickly find an inexpensive method for mass-producing these highly advanced T2 vessels. There had been no progress so far. The Vengeance Legion's warships still took three times as long to restore, which infuriated the Grand Warlord. As Sandora's most loyal subordinate, he felt that his troops had instead become a burden at a time like
