Ves almost felt sorry for his enemies for becoming the target of so many weapons of mass destruction.
Both sides happened to stock them in abundance, but the problem was that the enemy fleet generally consisted of smaller and more cramped vessels. That meant that the weapons of mass destruction they were able to safely contain and deploy against their targets were generally less destructive on average!
Fort Rock happened to become the focal point of enemy weapons of mass destruction because the cosmopolitans and native aliens at least figured out that its continued existence inhibited their greatest strengths far too much.
So long as this space fortress was knocked offline, the enemy craft and vessels could unleash a much greater portion of their true capabilities!
