As the defenders of Viola Magnifica made their final preparations, the native aliens were wrapping up their own efforts.
Scouts had observed that the native aliens had stopped receiving any further reinforcements a day ago. The alien commanders were now busy with trying to organize their many fleets and agree on a common attack plan.
This would probably take a bit of time, but not too much. The only reason why the aliens had yet to start their offensive was because the attacking side consisted of fleets that belonged to multiple different alien races.
Interspecies coordination had always been a problem for the native races. They generally did not like each other. While the circumstances forced them to set aside their animosity towards each other, that did not mean that all of their hostility had disappeared.
Entire battles had been won or lost depending on how extensively the fleets of different races were willing to coordinate their maneuvers with each other!
