Elsewhere, on a distant Rhytil planet

The Rhytil leaders had been monitoring the battle from afar, their fleet commanders issuing commands with a calm precision. They had expected the Alliance to make a move eventually, but they hadn't anticipated the ferocity or the strategic ingenuity of their enemies.

High Command on the Rhytil planet watched the holographic displays flicker as their fleet slowly began to crumble. The Rhytil had underestimated the Alliance's resilience. But what was even more troubling was the revelation that they had not fully understood the depth of the Alliance's resolve.

The lead strategist, Zalthar, stood from his seat, his many eyes narrowing in thought. "The human fleet is stronger than we believed," he said in a low, rumbling voice. "We must change our tactics immediately."

The other commanders exchanged glances, and Zalthar continued. "Prepare the remaining warships for a counteroffensive. And activate the next phase of our plan. We cannot afford to lose this war."
