"O Motherland! My only regret is that I can offer you but one life!" — Inscription on the Imperial Heroes Monument, Imperial Plaza, Coruscant, capital of the Fourth Empire.
The disastrous defeat at the Battle of Arkania dealt the ever-victorious Kingdom of Dawn a crushing blow!
It could be said that in the twenty-five years since Tang Xiao had arrived in this universe with the mothership, he had never suffered such a catastrophic defeat!
In this battle, more than four million officers and soldiers, from Admiral Mal-Tuk on down, were killed or wounded. Thirty-seven capital ships were destroyed, along with 384 Heavy Cruisers, more than 1,900 Light Cruisers, and over 880 warships of destroyer class and below!
There was also one capital ship, five Heavy Cruisers, and more than 200 small and medium warships that surrendered and were captured after completely running out of ammunition and supplies. Although bombs had been installed to destroy the core sections of those ships, such a large-scale capture of warships was still the first since the Kingdom of Dawn had been founded.
The Neimoidia self-destructed. This Endless-class Super Carrier was the second super warship sunk since the founding of the Kingdom of Dawn, after the Plague Titan warship.
All of this set an extremely terrible precedent...
Such a crushing defeat immediately placed the Kingdom of Dawn's position in the Northern Territory in grave danger. After an emergency overnight meeting, the General Staff Headquarters first sent a message to the Geth, demanding that they deploy forces as soon as possible to harass the Galactic Empire's northern border and tie down the Imperial fleet.
At the same time, after discussion, it was decided that the Trade Federation would transfer to the Geth the technical designs for a battlecruiser known as the Throne-class from the Gallente Federation
