That was all well and good, but not a single person present had any experience attacking a Skyhold, let alone ten of them combined.
Then again, Skyholds were the largest space fortresses ever built by the Galactic Empire, a civilization with a fanatical obsession with megastructure construction. Each one could repair and maintain Titan-class ships, produce nearly every weapon, energy source, and consumable part needed by fleets and ground forces, and build medium and large warships up to heavy cruisers.

Perhaps it was precisely because they were so shaken that more and more of the talented people among them began offering bold suggestions.
