2650, Battle of Ord Mantell
The two Titan warships took only a single day to make a wide detour and arrive directly at the battlefield over Ord Mantell!
At that moment, General Gillard Perine, who was commanding the fleet's offensive, was completely unprepared!
He had indeed been informed that the Kingdom of Dawn's two Titan warships had departed Bilbrin Planet for an unknown destination and were likely heading toward Ord Mantell.
But the problem was that the hyperspace routes through the Bilbrin system were exceptionally complex. Simply entering or leaving the system required considerable time and multiple jumps. Most importantly, several nearby black holes had to be avoided, and the hyperspace turbulence generated by those black holes posed a massive threat to navigation.
The Galactic Empire had been able to control several secret routes precisely because it had mastered the gravitational movement patterns of the black holes around the Bilbrin system. Without spending enormous amounts of time analyzing them, it was extremely difficult to decipher those patterns.
Furthermore, there was no direct route between Ord Mantell and Bilbrin Planet. One had to detour through the directions of Dorin Planet and Vortex Planet, so the journey should have taken a very long time.
When they had launched their invasion earlier, the Kingdom of Dawn had been unable to decipher the black holes' movement patterns, leaving them no choice but to force their way through with two Titan warships. A large portion of their fleet had also assembled at Dorin Planet, waiting for guidance from the Archangel Titan warship's Hyperspace Beacon.
Therefore, after receiving word that the two Titan warships had left the battlefield, General Gillard Perine had not become nervous. Instead, he warned Lieutenant General Dagon Nielz to stay alert in case the Titan warships suddenly turned back and caught him
