The dragonfly-like C-9979 transport ships descended to the ground. These massive vessels, over 300 meters long, each carried more than a dozen MTT armored transport vehicles—vehicles capable of rapidly deploying large numbers of B-1 battle droids while also recharging and maintaining them.
Once the MTT transport vehicles rolled out of the transports, they immediately advanced toward their targets. By now, Crustai's capital had erupted into chaos, with nearly everyone grabbing a weapon and rushing out!
In the sky, two enormous spherical ships slowly descended as well. Four hatches opened beneath each vessel, and row after row of B-1 battle droids marched out in neat formations. After a brief assembly, they immediately advanced on the capital.
The scene was strikingly similar to the Trade Federation's invasion of Naboo back then.
The Duchy of Dawn had conducted extensive research into landing warfare tactics and equipment. This included studies of combat methods and tactics, specialized training for soldiers, education for officers, and, finally, the development of dedicated equipment.
After a long period of exploration and refinement, the Duchy of Dawn had developed a rapid landing warfare system centered around the Corsev Battlecruiser. These ugly warships, mockingly nicknamed "coal haulers" within the military, were now the core of the Duchy of Dawn Navy Marines' combat doctrine. They could rapidly deploy landing forces and were the best choice for both Orbital Drop and rapid airborne deployment.

The droid legion had no thoughts, no lives, only obedience and slaughter. These cold killing machines were the Grysk Hegemony's greatest nemesis!
Therefore, for this landing operation against the Grysk Hegemony, the best landing warships to dispatch were naturally...
That's right, yours truly!—the outdated Luukri-Hok-class battleship
