Under the energy interference from three volleys of Particle Beam Lances, the ships dropped out of hyperspace, and a massive fleet appeared between the orbits of Planet Four and Planet Five in the Rendili system!
"Enemy ships sighted! 719 in total! All capital ships!!"
"Four super battleships detected! Confirmed: one Executor-class and three Commander II-class!!"
"Confirmed: 420 Imperial-class Star Destroyers!! Confirmed: 12 Pursuer-class aircraft carriers!!" the radar officer shouted.
The terrifying figures were reported one after another, and everyone in the command center wore a grave expression.
The Rendili system's defense fleet included 800 Victory II-class Star Destroyers, 150 Victory I-class Star Destroyers, 40 Calamity-class battlecruisers, 50 Kohl-class Battlecruisers, 10 Hell-Angel Class Battlecruisers, 40 Martha-class missile heavy cruisers, and 10 Sova-class Carriers.
Although the numbers looked impressive, it was obvious at a glance that most of them were second-line warships. In a head-on confrontation like this, they were no match for Imperial-class Star Destroyers.
The Duchy of Dawn's most advanced warships were all concentrated in the directions of Yag'Dhul and Eriadu.
Rendili Planet was, after all, located far too deep within Galactic Empire territory. Although it was indeed critically important, supplying it was equally difficult. That was why Victory II-class Star Destroyers were produced and equipped in such large numbers here—whether parts or brand-new warships, they could all be manufactured locally without relying on supplies from the rear at Dawn Star Planet.
For that very reason, the Duchy of Dawn military had prepared for the worst-case scenario of Rendili Planet being captured at any time, so they were even less likely to deploy too many advanced warships here.
