After the Galactic Empire opened the Rendili trade route, the route was almost immediately put to full use. Countless ships, loaded with daily necessities and all kinds of raw materials, entered the Rendili system. After unloading their cargo and undergoing simple modifications, they could be filled with migrants for the return journey.
During this period, virtually every usable ship in the Duchy of Dawn was mobilized, working almost without pause to relocate Rendili Planet.
The orbital shipyards used by Rendili StarDrive were relatively flexible, as they could all be folded up and packed away. Once packed, the orbital shipyards became spherical spacecraft ranging from 500 to 2,000 meters in diameter. Once unfolded, their size would increase more than fivefold!
The packed orbital shipyards were fitted with large external hyperspace engines and sent directly through hyperspace lanes into the Duchy of Dawn, where they would be assigned in a unified arrangement.
Tang Xiao had designated a super-industrial zone in each of the Duchy of Dawn's three major sectors—the Modell Sector, the Hoth Sector, and the Sith Vena star sector—to accommodate these orbital shipyards.
At the same time, the orbital shipyards that had not yet been packed up continued operating. With the Rendili Trade Route opened, enormous quantities of raw materials poured in, and these orbital shipyards could finally begin production.
The Victory II-class Star Destroyer had officially entered mass production and been incorporated into the Duchy of Dawn Navy's order of battle. This Star Destroyer was 900 meters long, with a hull far wider than that of the Victory I-class Star Destroyer. It was equipped with 20 multi-purpose turbolaser cannons, 20 XX-9 heavy dual turbolaser cannons, 10 heavy ion cannons, and 10 tractor beams.
It could also carry 24 light carrier-based aircraft, typically Acolyte I-type multi-purpose drones. If carrying heavy fighters
