Ji Xinghe suddenly missed the dust storms.
When an alien planet was covered by a dust storm, the Federal high-altitude and space reconnaissance systems would be extremely weakened in monitoring the surface of the alien planet.
Viewed from the overall situation, the Empire's space battleships could take the opportunity to take off, flying low in the dust storm to scout the Federal military deployment on the surface of the alien planet, deploying surface monitoring and communication devices, and so forth.
They would also take the opportunity to launch satellites, but the survival rate was not high. Federal space battleships and single soldier starships would patrol the near-Earth space of the alien planet during dust storm, and would definitely destroy any they found.
From a local point of view, the Empire would dispatch mech squadrons without counting the cost to locate the precise coordinates of the Federal base.
