After an important conference call, the leaders of the Golden Skull Alliance came to a surprising decision that caught many people off-guard.
Instead of remaining on guard against a maybe-imminent alien assault or trying to get away from the Orange Tulip System as fast as possible, the expeditionary fleet actually chose to launch an attack on the pakklaton fleet!
"What?! Why would they do that? The aliens have warships!"
"According to what I've heard from above, those warships aren't as scary as they look. The pakklatons are not a strong race to begin with, and their ships must have gone through a lot of hardships after fleeing from their collapsed empire non-stop."
"Even if they're down, they're definitely not out. They have genuine warships, you know. Even damaged ones can still burn our mechs into ash!"
