Lin Yao knew it would be a herculean task to beat the UPSF fleet so he didn't hesitate having his entire army appear in Valim's exospace. In a matter of seconds dozens of warships appeared right before the people's eyes showcasing a magnificent and majestic aura but not to the people of Valim. To the citizens this seemed like a clear declaration of war as they scattered like ants towards all available transport facilities but unfortunately for them Emperor Zhao sent out a decree that no one was to leave Valim closing off all exit points.
