A few hours later...

Inside the colossal arena of the Republic's imperial palace, the air buzzed with anticipation. This was no ordinary arena; it was a marvel of the interstellar age, capable of hosting grand events and mechanized demonstrations. The arena had long been transformed into a battleground for a mech demonstration between the Federation and the Republic.

The stands were filled with nobles, dressed in their finest regalia, accompanied by their families. Each tier of the arena was designed to reflect the status of its occupants, with the highest tier reserved for the most eminent. High above, in the VIP area, the royal families of the Republic and the Federation sat with regal grace. They watched the proceedings through floating screens that projected close-up views and tactical overlays of the arena below.
