The newly approached interstellar fortresses had not even engaged when the asteroid belt suddenly changed. Unexpectedly, waves of attacks were unleashed from within the asteroid belt — something no one had anticipated.
Hidden within the asteroid belt, there were interstellar fortresses cleverly disguised as ordinary planets.
The sudden assault caught the Alliance completely off guard. A Tier 7 offensive, even with full defensive measures, was not easily manageable. In an instant, five Alliance fortresses were heavily damaged on the spot, requiring extensive repairs before they could be operational again. However, the five fortresses were not entirely destroyed.
The remaining fortresses quickly reacted, redirecting their turrets towards the aggressors who had initiated the surprise attack.
