As the expeditionary fleet approached the territories beset by alien raids, the Golden Skull Alliance started to form more plans and coordinate their actions.
It was not enough for them to defeat a bunch of mediocre raiding fleets. Their combat strength was far too great to waste on cleaning up the riff raff.
What they truly had their eyes on were the staging areas where many of the smaller alien raiding fleets resupplied and started their missions!
Destroying crucial alien infrastructure would disrupt a lot of arrangements and award a lot more MTA merits.
Not only that, but there was bound to be a lot more phasewater and other valuable resources in these places!
The opposition was significantly greater, however. The defenses of these staging heavily depended on how many raiding fleets were present in the star system.
This was why it became extremely important to track the condition and movements of the more powerful alien raiding fleets.
