The battle between the Terran defenders and the jureg invaders was a precious moment for Saint Tusa Billingsley-Larkinson.
He received the privilege of how some of the best forces on both sides waged war at their highest level.
What struck Tusa first was that neither side sustained much damage at first.
In the battles involving second-class forces, it was rather typical for warships, defensive installations and in certain cases small craft to blow up or limp away with heavy battle damage.
The existence of azure energy shields and other forms of energy shielding mitigated this problem somewhat, but they were not excessively strong, especially for human mech forces that struggled to source more phasewater.
This meant that it generally took less attacks to overcome energy barriers and inflict material damage.
