Prelude to the Landing
Confederacy of Independent Systems reinforcements arrived, including five Behemoth-class battlecruisers. Their arrival gave the Republic fleet an even greater deterrent force.
Compared to the Hypermatter Railgun of the Kohl-class Battlecruiser, the Yamato Cannon of the Behemoth-class battlecruiser was slightly less powerful, but it charged faster, had a higher projectile velocity, and was far more difficult to defend against.

After the five Luukri-Hok-class battleships arrived, they immediately headed toward Semirres Planet. Under the cover of the Agonev-class star base, the core ships at the center of the battleships detached and descended to the planet's surface. Their hatches opened, and hundreds of M-808 Scorpion tanks rolled out of the holds in two neat columns.
These Scorpion tanks were reinforcements supplied by the Fourth Civilization, while the Confederacy of Independent Systems provided large numbers of B-1 battle droids and B-2 super battle droids.
In response to the Semirians' unique physical conditions and the Galactic Republic's style of warfare, the Fourth Civilization's primary contribution was this fast, heavily armed assault unit—the Scorpion tank.
While the Luukri-Hok-class battleships were unloading reinforcements, Republic Fleet Commander General Davis assembled his fleet and launched several raids. However, the five Behemoth-class battlecruisers commanded by Ulu-Ulix continuously shielded those massive vessels, while the fire support from the Agonev-class star base also made the Republic fleet hesitate to approach.
Three days later, on the 3rd day of the third month, the Galactic Republic fleet finally completed its encirclement of Semirres Planet.
With 60 Hunter Class Battlecruisers as its core, supported by 11 other medium and small warships of various types, including Aquitenes-class light cruisers, Kallak-class light cruisers, DP-20 gunships, and CR-90 corvettes, as well as a formation of
