Meanwhile, at the center of the Imperial fleet, the Pursuer-class aircraft carrier finally opened its Hangar Platform. Countless TIE/LN light fighters and TIE bombers poured out like locusts, charging toward the Rendili Defense Fleet.
In particular, more than a hundred TIE bombers dove toward the nearly immobile space station, launching Proton Torpedoes at close range!
Thousands of point-defense cannons on the space station opened fire at full power. In an instant, countless barrages spread around it, almost lighting up the entire expanse of space.
With the space station and super warships joining the battle, this offensive and defensive struggle finally reached a fever pitch.
The warships of both sides were locked in a brutal, unadorned melee. At this point, strategy and tactics hardly mattered anymore. All that remained was a contest of will!
Moreover, all manner of small and medium warships stationed across the planet began joining the battle. Resolute-class Heavy Cruisers, Twinblade-class EW light cruisers, Pioneer-class light cruisers, Star-class Repair Drone Motherships, and other vessels entered the battlefield to support the capital ships.
There were more than a thousand of these medium warships. Although their direct firepower could not pose a fatal threat to Imperial-class Star Destroyers, they could still play an enormous role through constant maneuvering and infiltration.
The Star-class Repair Drone Motherships continuously provided logistical resources. The Sky Blue-class command ships served as forward combat command centers, providing individual warships with detailed battle plans that Command Headquarters could not offer. Meanwhile, the Twinblade-class EW light cruisers established an electronic blockade across the entire battlefield.
With so many different types of vessels working together, the Rendili Defense Fleet could still stand toe-to-toe with the immensely powerful Imperial-class Star Destroyers.
However, sending these medium warships into battle meant, without question, that they would suffer devastating losses against attacks from
