With the backing of the Barton Civilization, Varg's technology advanced a full three hundred years in the thirty years from 6570 to 6600!
Three thousand years had passed. As a Level Three civilization that had advanced three thousand years ago, Barton displayed astonishing combat potential and was no weaker than the established Level Three civilizations.
In the year 9500 of the Third Epoch, during the once-per-century Barton-Mandehai joint military exercise, Barton led the charge straight into Mandehai's military headquarters and turned the war around! In that battle, the Varg Civilization single-handedly held back the pursuit of three Level Three civilizations from Mandehai!
To Varg, Barton was like a selfless teacher, protecting it and teaching it how to survive in this chaotic sea of stars.
To Barton, Varg was a defensive outpost standing at the edge of the Barton Starfield, a solid wall, a loyal guard!
Before launching its attack on Alvin this time, Barton had given each of its four subordinate civilizations a powerful shot in the arm.
Barton's latest technological achievement: orbital anti-aircraft turrets!
These fixed turrets, built entirely in the void, possessed no mobility whatsoever. However, their armor was sturdier than that of warships, their cannons more powerful than those of fighter jets, and most importantly, they were constructed mainly from steel alloys rather than interstellar alloys. This meant that building a single turret was even cheaper than building a fighter jet!
If it had not been preparing to attack Alvin, Barton would never have released this technology.
But now that it had, the orbital paths around the two habitable planets and three resource planets in the Barton Starfield were densely packed with these turrets.
