Upon learning that her son had returned safely with powerful rankers and hundreds of refugees, Ivan swiftly contacted her uncle to request his most trusted commander to defend Danil's fleet. However, her uncle refused, decided instead to surrender to the enemy.
Resigned to his decision, Ivan proceeded to isolate his island from the main one. She then directed the West Security Bureau on the main island to deploy the remaining Stella fighters stationed at the west gate to safeguard Danil's fleet, preventing their return to the island as Sector 12 appeared to offer the only semblance of safety.
Observing multiple enemy divisions of Stella-fighters converging towards Danil's cruiser, transportation aircraft, and fifty-five Stella-fighters, Ivan noted the overwhelming numbers against him. While the enemy lacked a cruiser, they possessed a transportation spaceship capable of carrying up to a thousand Stella-fighters.
