The facts proved that the strategy of assembling these stripped-down King of Kings-class Battlecruisers directly on Dantooine was simply brilliant! Not only did it drastically shorten the construction cycle, but it also avoided the hyperspace disturbances that would have been caused by bringing them in through hyperspace lanes.
If they had truly wanted to bring in two King of Kings-class vessels, the hyperspace lanes toward Dantooine would have needed to remain inactive for at least a week. Such a lengthy gap would, at best, leave the ground forces on Dantooine facing a shortage of supplies. At worst, they could have been pushed back in a single Imperial counteroffensive after running out of ammunition and food, driven off the planet entirely!
But now, using this method, they could bring over only the most complex and advanced equipment. Then the Dawn's Radiance-class industrial mothership would fully deploy into the form of a heavy interstellar shipyard, sourcing materials from the asteroid belt to forge the hull structure on-site, greatly reducing transportation costs and strategic risks.
The mothership's own processing equipment could also manufacture relatively simple facilities and components, such as warship hull armor, support frames, and even basic piping systems, further improving construction efficiency.
That was how they had achieved the miracle of assembling two battlecruisers within a single month!
Even if they were merely stripped-down King of Kings-class vessels, it was still a miracle! The process appeared simple, but in reality, it was extraordinarily precise and complex.
For example, every component had to be planned out in meticulous detail. Which parts could be produced locally? Which needed to be brought in? How could the industrial mothership's resource efficiency and cargo capacity be maximized? Even the production sequence had been precisely calculated to ensure every step connected seamlessly with the next.
