The Star Destroyer Beam Platform's blinding orange-yellow beams struck the Planetary Shield, instantly sending rippling waves of energy across its surface. The Planetary Shield visibly shook violently.
Rear Admiral Kallic was completely out of options. He had considered countless possibilities and had even run simulations on the combat computer, but the result was still despairing—the forces under his command simply could not hold Scipio!
The problem was not the Guardian Executor-class Super Star Destroyer. Or rather, the problem was precisely that ship. These massive warships called Keltu Destroyers had been built specifically to counter super warships!
These warships could directly annihilate Hypermatter, reducing the amount of Hypermatter reacting inside a reactor per unit of time and thereby lowering a warship's energy output. The larger the enemy warship, the more pronounced the effect.
Halving the firepower of an Imperial-class Star Destroyer was not much of a problem. But halving the firepower of an Executor-class Super Star Destroyer meant that the fleet's overall firepower was missing a massive chunk!
Even a colossal vessel like an Executor-class Super Star Destroyer was already showing clear signs of strain under the assault of five Keltu Destroyers. Its speed, defenses, and firepower had all declined. Although the Keltu Destroyers could not yet shake the Guardian Super Star Destroyer's Deflector Shield, this tactic was effectively the same as forcing the Guardian out of the battle altogether.
If this continued, it might take longer, but Rear Admiral Kallic seriously suspected that the Guardian might even be sunk by those five Keltu Destroyers!
Thus, Rear Admiral Kallic no longer had any usable warships in hand. Yet Scipio was already being bombarded by the Star Destroyer Beam Platforms. He felt that no matter what he did, it would be wrong.
The only solution he could think of was to triple—no,
