Sefrans Tann desperately wanted to capture Fondor Planet, but absolutely not by launching a direct assault like this.
Fondor Planet's industrial capacity ranked among the top three in the entire Milky Way Galaxy. Aside from the core industrial zones controlled by several major industrial giants, it was the Galactic Empire's largest industrial world. Its industrial scale was second only to Quat Planet and Corellia, even surpassing Rendili Planet!
Capturing Fondor Planet was of enormous significance. It would directly sever a crucial industrial chain of the Galactic Empire, costing it one-tenth of its industrial output and forcing the Empire to reorganize its industrial production, including raw material supplies and component manufacturing.
In the short term, capturing Fondor Planet could even cause the Galactic Empire's industrial output to fall by a quarter!
But then again, capturing such an industrial world was easier said than done.
The entire surface of Fondor Planet was covered in factories. Every inch of ground trodden by the Kingdom of Dawn Army after landing was metal! Cooling towers soaring into the clouds, ultra-high-voltage substations crackling with lightning—such grand industrial structures were everywhere across the planet.
At the Kingdom of Dawn Army's landing zones, automated turrets could rise from underground and open fire almost anywhere. Even on warship hulls lying on assembly lines, some of the already-installed guns turned their barrels and fired.
As an engineering robot force numbering over a hundred thousand halted the Fourth Legion's advance, an automated defensive line was rapidly taking shape in the rear, visible to the naked eye!
Blaster cannon turrets, turbolasers, anti-air missile positions... These automated defensive installations were swiftly manufactured and constructed within the factories, then transported in modular sections by countless engineering robots for rapid assembly.
In barely an hour, a defensive line made up of hundreds of automated turrets
