According to the mission briefing, this area is a critical point in the Legion's linear retreat path.
After a journey of acceleration spanning three light years, the Legion Fleet will enter the Fold Jump Subspace Channel in this area. This area is designated as the "Fold Jump Window Area."
The clearing operations in the Fold Jump Window Area are of utmost importance.
The destination of Ma Xiaoling's transport ship is exactly the shortest path away from the Ascender Expeditionary Army pursuing them.
This area, the Legion station, and the advancing Ascender Expeditionary Army from the front, all align on the same line.
Although Ren Zhong gave the order not to retreat, there is no harm in making some preparations in advance.
The scientific survey ship needs to examine the spatial conditions of this area on-site and preemptively destroy any small pieces of space debris that might be floating in place.
