The Alliance had no ships, and the Tianma Fleet had no ships left, and that was as much potential as could be mined.
However, within the Tianma Star Sector, there was one family that did have a lot of ships: the Gu Commercial Firm.
Most of the ships owned by the Gu Commercial Firm were civilian ships, namely transport ships and merchant ships. Those Flying Pig-Class, Whale-Class, and even the massive Belly-Class ships didn't really have any combat capabilities.
But earlier on, the firm did have quite a number of armed merchant ships.
The combat power of these armed merchant ships was definitely far from that of the regular navy ships of the same grade, but their quantity was not insignificant, which was an advantage.
The navy department of the Alliance, in cooperation with the two major shipyards, quickly assessed the situation and came up with a proposal to further strengthen the armed merchant ships to meet the upcoming confrontation with the Green Skin Orcs.
