"Base to Base, coordinates 2359/3026, four Empire Mecha discovered, over."
"Base received, over."
"War center, war center, request battle plan, over."
"War center received, over."
The news of four Empire Mecha found in the alert region of Base Five did not stir any waves.
In the past month alone, they had discovered 39 Empire Mecha. Including these four, that made 44, which was not enough to raise special attention from Base Five or South Sky Gate Space Station.
This situation was common.
The alien planet surface did not have enough natural or man-made cover, thus allowing the federation's aerial and space reconnaissance system to be fully exploited.
But the alien planet was too large for humans. Even with 24 hours of non-stop surveillance, it was hard to notice every change on the planet surface.
The Empire was not as advanced in stealth technology as the Federation; they never managed to fully implement holographic optical camouflage.
