"Mace Windu frowned. "Detonate the Electromagnetic Nebula? How great would the impact be?"
"Uh... it would trigger a magnetic field burst, but the overall energy wouldn't be too high. It should interfere with our communications and radar systems. At most, it would affect the recharge cycle rate of our warships' Deflector Shields..." the engineer said. "Also, I recommend keeping our fighter squadrons out of the Electromagnetic Nebula. Fighter electronic systems still can't withstand a magnetic field burst of that magnitude."
"So you mean this magnetic field burst won't render my fleet combat-ineffective?" Mace Windu asked.
"Magnetic field bursts are originally a common phenomenon in space. For example, stellar flares are accompanied by magnetic field bursts, so safeguards against them are a basic consideration in spacecraft design. It's just that the magnetic field burst triggered by the Destruction's EMP cannon may be more intense, which is why it can affect our warships. But an effect is an effect—it absolutely cannot render our fleet incapable of fighting," the engineer answered firmly.
"So Sefrans Tann merely intends to use the magnetic field burst to restrict our fighters? To prevent me from leading a bomber squadron in striking her a fatal blow?" Mace Windu said with a frown.
"I don't understand combat matters, but I think that's indeed a reasonable conclusion," the engineer said.
"Understood. I'll consider it." Mace Windu waved his hand, then said to General Sophronos, "Have the fighter squadrons hold position for now. Adjust the fleet formation and attack from as far away as possible. Do not approach the Electromagnetic Nebula! I'll continue observing the situation here. If they really intend to detonate the Electromagnetic Nebula, we'll consider further action then."
"Yes!" General Sophronos nodded.
The strange situation on the battlefield continued. The Destruction battleship entered the magnetic nebula and
