The bombardment continued without end!
Unlike warships, which could move at any time, the massive spaceports deployed around Kira planet could not move! They could only remain where they were and endure the relentless bombardment of Particle Beam Lances!
The Republic fleet had no choice but to pull part of the fleet that had just arrived at Naboo to defend against an attack by the Xuanwu Titan warship and send it back to the Kira system as reinforcements.
After bombarding for several hours, this small fleet, which included five Calamity-class battlecruisers, unhesitatingly shut down its Interdictors, activated its hyperdrive, and turned to leave.
Scans from the border outpost showed that they had retreated to an inconspicuous star system not far from Kira planet—Pax.
But their departure did not mean the bombardment would stop! Since light took more than half a day to travel from the edge of the system to Kira planet, the Particle Beam Lance bombardment continued for more than half a day after the small fleet had left!
At last, after enduring more than five hours of constant bombardment, one of the spaceports' Deflector Shields could no longer bear the strain. The following Particle Beam Lances pierced straight through the spaceport's fragile structure.
