Ineffective Strike

Unlike the Bosnia Supercluster's native civilization, which was merely Seventh Order, the Federation possessed technology capable of interfering with hyperspace. It did not have to face the awkward possibility of the enemy suddenly escaping through hyperspace, as Sanhe Sen did.

"All fleets, open fire!"

"Yes, Commander!"

With Sanhe Sen's order, the fleets of every civilization, which had long been holding back their fury, unleashed their firepower in full. Countless Spatial
