The fierce fighting at the front nearly lit up the pitch-black night sky over Crystal City, still under blackout conditions. In the glow of the flames, the battle between Wraith fighters and V-19 Torrent starfighters in the sky grew ever more intense. To support the aerial battle, the Galactic Republic defenders launched an Acclamator-class assault ship, which hovered in midair to provide fire support and command assistance.
This massive warship naturally became a prime target for the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Large numbers of Wraith fighters flew toward it, launching Gemini missiles and Proton Torpedoes.
At the same time, hundreds of thousands of B-1 battle droids charged against Crystal City's defenses like a tidal wave under the defenders' barrage. The emotionless, senseless droid legion did nothing but advance and advance!
As the ground battle raged, war broke out once more in space!
At an order from Fourth Civilization Navy Admiral Sefrans Tann, the fleet opened fire as one. Against the Galactic Republic fleet hiding near the equator on the far side of the planet, they launched simultaneous attacks from both the north and south poles!
The Confederacy of Independent Systems fleet remained in a dense bombardment formation. Once they entered range, ten Behemoth-class battlecruisers immediately began charging up, locking onto their targets and preparing to fire their Yamato Cannons.
After discussing the matter with Obi-Wan Kenobi, Galactic Republic Admiral of the Navy Wullf Yularen decided to launch their numerical advantage in starfighters. To guard against the terrifying missile barrage of the Martha-class heavy cruisers, all the fighters spread out as much as possible before converging from every direction at once!
This time, they launched a full 5,000 fighters!!
From the moment the first Yamato Cannon blast exploded against the shields of a Hunter Class Battlecruiser, an unimaginably brutal battle unfolded
