The Planetary Cannon was the most standard Tier-Four Ascension structure imaginable. It used the continental framework as its cannon base, the planetary core as its power source, the mantle as its cannon band, and the planet's thermal energy as its "shell." It often took a century of accumulated planetary heat to fire a single shot. Once fired, it could destroy heaven and earth, even blasting apart the vacuum of space.
On large-scale interstellar battlefields, advanced civilizations would transform planets into Planetary Cannons, powering them with stars. Combined with interstellar fortresses, they could annihilate invading enemies through large-scale annihilation effects, whether the invasion came from the material world or dimensional rifts. This was the famed Angliema Defense Line, a classic interstellar warfare tactic recorded in the Civilization Council's annals.
However, only the most advanced Tier-Three civilizations could build a defense line of this level. Gao Gong did not believe that the Robert Star System currently possessed any civilization that powerful.
And—

Once the news got out, several senators supported by major conglomerates nearly tore him apart. They all suspected that he had leaked such advanced military technology."
Unlike the military dictatorship of the Galen Republic, the Milta Federation's government was relatively decentralized. Ever since
