The Gears of War (Part 1)
The intelligence that Ankollon-class Titan warships were being built in the Yag'Dhul system caused an enormous uproar within the Galactic Republic Supreme Strategic Command. It was utterly explosive!
Because these were Ankollon-class Titan warships!
There was no need to say how terrifying the Xuanwu was. With the power of that single warship, it had made the entire Galactic Republic afraid to even look directly at the Eriadu system. That was the power of a Titan warship!
And now, they had confirmed that this Titan warship was being built in the Yag'Dhul system.
How could such intelligence fail to tempt them?
After extensive analysis, Republic Intelligence Department personnel believed the intelligence remained questionable and could indeed have been deliberately planted to mislead them. After all, with the war having reached this stage and both sides' intelligence operations becoming increasingly thorough, obtaining intelligence had grown ever more difficult. All sorts of true and false information were mixed together, making them nearly impossible to distinguish.
However, compared to the possibility that this intelligence was false, the potential gains it offered were immense.
Because once they could destroy this Titan shipyard, the Duchy of Dawn would be unable to possess a second Ankollon-class Titan warship for a long time.

Moreover, a Titan shipyard of this scale could not possibly be relocated casually. Even if it truly were moved, reassembling it and restoring production would likely take more
