The barren hill designated as 0912 lay on the alien planet like a satiated vulture.
Under the not-so-bright blue daylight, one hundred and fifty thousand Imperial Troops were stationed there.
The anti-import weapon systems they carried, along with two Imperial space battleships that had landed on the barren hill, formed a dense defense network.
If the Federation wanted to forcefully bomb this imperial position, the cost in fire-power needed would far outweigh the benefits of annihilating these 150,000 imperial forces and destroying the two Imperial space battleships.
Similar to the situation of the previously fought B72 Highlands for the Empire.
With their logistical supplies falling far behind the Empire, the Federation often had to conserve ammunition in most of their alien world war situations.
And this was the exact role of the mech warriors; their destruction of the enemy's antiaircraft weapon systems saved the Federation a substantial amount of ammunition.
