The Red Fleet's latest initiative did much to relieve the pressure in the middle zones and lower zones!
The less wealthy regions of human space had suffered incalculable losses since the native aliens launched their creeping offensives.
Although the amount of time and work required to construct all of the auxiliary warships was so considerable that it would probably take at least a year before auxiliary fleets became a more common sight, the announcement energized much of human space!
"We can finally field our own versions of warships, even if we have to follow the orders of the fleeters in order to make use of them. At least third-raters like ourselves aren't completely at the mercy of powerful alien warships anymore."
