However, that did not stop Zeus from preparing all the battleships for a combat situation.
It was true that much of the bulk, or core, of the attack force had been sent along with the Alpha 2 fleet. All the frigate, destroyer, and corvette-type ships had left with full crews and all possible Mechas. Lighter ships, such as cruisers, gunboats, and smaller fast ships, had been sent to the Alpha 1 fleet.
