At the same time, the Orman-Tagge fleet under Rear Admiral Dolla's command had already begun its most powerful offensive against Druckenwell planet.
Rear Admiral Dolla had realized that Silas Tagge, trapped here, had no cards left to play. The fleet now gathered outside the planet and relying on those armed space stations for defense was already all the strength Silas Tagge possessed.
Most of those armed space stations had been built by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. They were completely obsolete products. For example, most of the turbolaser cannons mounted on those stations were junk with high energy consumption, low power, and short range.
