Warships from the Fourth Civilization's rear areas were also arriving one after another, though most were smaller vessels better suited to passing through hyperspace routes. Moreover, following Matt Hona's orders, all the reinforcements were Garda Flak Frigates.

A total of ten Garda-class ships arrived, greatly easing the pressure on the
