"Make sure the supplies are complete. This offensive may last more than three days." Admiral Gideon Tarkin signed a document as he spoke. "Send me the supply deployment plan within an hour. Have the rear bases prepare themselves. I'll inspect it personally."

"Yes!" The logistics officer snapped to attention and saluted.

"Patch me through to the Astronomy Department. I need to know the celestial movements in the Yago-Dur system over the next seven days," Gideon Tarkin continued.

"General, here are the results calculated by our astronomers." A scientist immediately presented a report that had already been prepared. "Based on the current movements of the three stars, the largest, Star One, is presently in a relatively stable state, while the other two stars are orbiting along two different trajectories. However, due to their mutual gravitational influence, Star Three may approach Star Two in two days. The two stars will then form a temporary binary system. That system will be relatively stable and should last for around two years."

Admiral Gideon Tarkin studied the report and asked with a frown, "What about Yago-Dur itself? How will it move during this orbital shift?"

The scientist answered confidently at once, "During this orbital shift, Yago-Dur will be captured by the gravity of both stars. Due to the distance involved, it will break free of Star One's gravitational control and become a satellite of this binary system. However, Star One's gravity will remain powerful. Under these effects, Yago-Dur's rotational speed will increase, and the planet's gravity will rise by approximately 1.17 times."

Gideon Tarkin nodded thoughtfully and asked, "So for the next two years, Yago-Dur's orbit will also remain relatively stable, until the binary system formed by Stars Two and Three breaks apart?"

"That's right. In fact, under the influence of this binary system, Star
