Three Final Chances

The first battle that would decide the ownership of the Kayana System would soon begin.

The alien armada had continued to advance at a steady pace while the predominantly Rubarthan defenders geared up for a hard fight.

Kayana VIII-E was fortified to the brim. Its orbital defense network was more developed than ever, and the surface of the moon hosted additional fortifications that could pose all kinds of problems against the native aliens.

All of it would endure catastrophic damage by the time the battle came to an end.

Nobody knew whether any part of the orbital defenses would remain intact. The surface of the developed and resource-rich moon was bound to get struck by thousands of warship-grade strikes.
