Before the story, I want to make an announcement. I have put the final draft of the next chapters (Up to part 8 Chapter 40) on another site, namely at:

https://karyakarsa.com/robotechmania/series

I have put it in two languages, Indonesian and English. Sorry, I charge a small fee to read it, it is around 30 cent US$. I will try to provide at least 5 chapters in advance to be read there.

Please support my writing, I'm getting desperate because only very few of the reader go thare and buy the upcoming chapter. If there is a problem to pay in that site. Please tell me in the conversation.

Thank you very much.

Palpadia Empire, Esthirant
Military Command Center

The Palpadia Empire began using the concept of using a multi-level command center to oversee and control all the military assets owned by the Palpadia Empire. They emulated the strategies employed by more developed nations, including the Myto Empire. The Myto Empire provided the command center with highly sophisticated equipment. Large LCD screens filled the room, controlled by simple 8 bit computers, a computer with 8 kb of memory, consisting of 4 kb of ROM and 4 kb of RAM. In the room next to the command center room was a special room for the 8 bit mainframe computers with 64kb redundant memory that were the core of all defense and military movements in the Palpadia Empire. The Myto Empire provided all the equipment and computers.

Currently, the command center is in a state of chaos due to an unknown party's attack on Craga Military Base. Despite the muted emergency siren and red warning lights, the state of emergency was evident. The shift leader, Colonel Bhasif, looked quite overwhelmed.

"Are there any of our troops near Crag Military Base that we can dispatch?" asked Colonel Bhasif.

"We have a battalion of territorial guard soldiers stationed in the town near Craga. In addition, Esthirant has a territorial army division. The troops from the nearby police force have reacted and been armed with heavy weapons and are leaving immediately, at least securing the outside of Craga Military Base," said a captain.

"Mobilize all the territorial soldiers in the city near Craga. Activate the territorial army in Esthirant. Send a company to guard the town that the territorial army left behind, as well as another battalion to Craga. The rest immediately secure Esthirant!" ordered Colonel Bhasif.

"Yes, colonel." said the officer from communications.

"Colonel, we also have marines at the Esthirant military port. They are closer in position than the Esthirant guards, and therefore they can arrive at Craga faster." said a lieutenant.

"That's right, send as many as possible to Craga without compromising the security of Esthirant's military port!" said Colonel Bhasif.

"Yes, colonel," said the communications department, which worked quickly to relay colonel Bhasif's orders.

"Colonel, we need to cut off their escape route. They must have used the sea route to escape. There might be a ship that will pick them up." Another captain spoke.

"Right, too. Order all patrol boats near Craga Military Base to immediately head for the coast. Activate our warships in Esthirant and dispatch them from the harbor as soon as possible. We must catch them before they escape," said Colonel Bhasif.

"Yes, Colonel," the communications officer replied once again.

"Colonel, excellent news. A new Cosmos-class frigate is nearby. They are scheduled to dock at Esthirant this morning. Shall we divert them near the scene?" the first captain asked.
