The Mech Touch

Chapter 6969  Relieving the Caesarion Upper Zone

The Premier Fleet and the Bluejay Fleet moved quickly through space.

Every vessel consisted of fairly modern first-class starships that had been built in the last decade.

All of them were equipped with superdrives that had been fortified with as much phasewater as the drive engineers could get away with. The combined properties of a warp drive and FTL drive enabled even the larger and more sluggish hulls to course through the higher dimensions at a blistering pace.

The high-quality materials and technical specifications applied to the superdrives also made them remarkably stable and resistant against interference, interdiction and natural gravitic tides.

They had little concerns about getting ambushed or delayed in their journey.

The lack of sub-standard support ships helped a lot with keeping the fleets fast and agile.

The lack of cargo haulers, fleet tenders and other civilian ships might limit their ability to sustain themselves in the field over a longer period of time, but that was not a critical shortcoming so long as the Terrans kept their end of the bargain and provided support services in the local region.

The only reason why the two fleets could not arrive at the designated war theater any faster was because the Tortuous Scream held them back.

It couldn't be helped. The converted orven battleship may have been developed with the help of stolen human technologies, but the implementation was still inferior compared to the authentic versions.

Even if the native aliens built up a lot of expertise in warp drive engineering, the human FTL drive technology was still fairly new to them. There was only so much the cosmopolitans could do to educate the aliens on how to harness this tech in a short time period.
