Inquisitor Thraxol said:
"The T'au warships are fast, have long range, and love guerrilla warfare in space. Dealing with them may take years!
"To avoid wasting time, we need to conduct simultaneous campaigns in space and on the planet's surface.
"Your two warships and your armed personnel—on top of that, I'll hand the planet's orbital defenses over to you as well. The ground battlefield is yours.

"I understand you. Fine, but I have to tell you that this time is different. This time, we're facing the T'au.
"You'll understand once you go up against them. It won't be as easy as you imagine. If you still have the ability to do your side jobs after that, then that's your own skill."

No one knew what the outcome would be. In this kind of interstellar war, two flying cities trading blows, sinking the enemy was never easy—especially when the opponent was a pack of space snipers like the T'au. Who knew how long this war
