Because engagements with the Zerg were almost entirely space battles, in the eyes of the Star Sea Alliance's alien races, Zerg combat units were generally enormous. Even the most basic unit, the Larval Form Octopus Monster, was at least ten meters tall.

The B-3 Engineering Robot stood less than three meters tall, and in proportion to its size, its tentacle-like limbs, which could only be seen clearly when slowed down over five hundred times, were about two meters long.

According to big data calculations of Zerg combat units, a creature with two-meter-long limbs would not have a significantly larger main body.

Although the Zerg's close-combat capabilities had been recorded as extremely formidable in the few instances observed, they could be effectively countered under prepared conditions.

For example, a five-hundred-meter-class Octopus Monster, once it closed the distance, could defeat even three-to-four-thousand-meter-class warships in a one-on-one fight, regardless of the technological level of the participating civilizations.

Furthermore, the Zerg had improved their delivery methods for these large Octopus Monsters, using electromagnetic catapults to accelerate their flight. Once they closed the distance, they could easily disrupt formations, create breakthroughs, and then slowly wear down enemy forces. The Yuntu Clan's fleet had been destroyed in this manner previously.

However, when one's own firepower was superior, sufficient surplus firepower could eliminate these spherical behemoths mid-flight. If the Zerg still employed this tactic, it would only be a meaningless sacrifice of troops. In the early stages of this war, the Zerg had lost many units this way, much to the secret delight of the Coalition Army's various races.

Also, in the early days, before the Alliance had encountered and adapted to the Zerg's fighting style, they hadn't paid much attention to the ten- and twenty-meter Zerg small combat units. Consequently, when these units closed the distance,
