Chapter 6211: The Arvest Lima System

As the Red Tide Offensive intensified, a strategic location known as the Arvest Lima System already came under siege.

The site not only served as a defensive bulwark, but also functioned as a logistical hub.

All kinds of warehouses, factories and repair centers worked around the clock to supply the surrounding star systems with the mechs, manpower and other hardware needed to put up the best possible fight.

The importance of defending this node could not be overstated.

If the aliens ever managed to knock this site out, then a lot of beleaguered and vulnerable star systems in the vicinity could not fight as hard as they wished. The rate of losses could not be replenished and the artillery mechs could not fire as many shells anymore.

War was a capital-intensive business. Not only did red humanity have to produce a lot of war materiel, but the goods and personnel also had to be shipped to the destinations that most needed the help.
