" ‘The Commencement’ bears our sheer longings into the deeper space… and I wonder how our descendants will see what we have done here today centuries from now?”
——Aihe, a journalist present at christening ceremony of the Commencement
Story File
FSV830-Fast Combat Support Ship is evolved from the blueprint of “the Commencement”, a mega supply transport, which is a great fruit of the Project Otherside by Dawn Accord Organization. Thanks to great advances in Applied Physics and Material Synthesis in the new Gold Rush Era, the large space mining and supply facilities on the Commencement were miniaturized and modified for military use by the Organization, enabling it to make full use of all resources in the space, hence circulating materials completely and independently. The audio-book of the story, The Lagrange Legacy Archives #1004 - The "Commencement" Supply Transport will be available in the game.

Production and Self-holding
Self-holding is one of the main functions of auxiliary ships. Every auxiliary ship will be equipped with certain self-hold capacity, which will be taken up by self-held frigates produced by fleets that contains auxiliary ships. Self-held frigates will not take up the capacity of Base ports but will be limited by that of the fleet. FSV830-Fast Combat Support Ship is installed with production system, which will cost resources and uEcoins from the Base. Therefore, the fleet that contains auxiliary ships are able to build frigates and air crafts, while the frigates are regarded as self-held ships of auxiliary ships.
Self-holding ability enables fleets to temporarily self-supply in battle when having chances, providing more possibilities and strategies for the gameplay.
Please be noted that, as self-held ships depend on the command of auxiliary ships, they will not conduct emergence evasion themselves, or relocate to the Base port. Besides, each lineup can contain one auxiliary ship only due to its unique self-holding ability.
Auxiliary ships can speed up self-held ship production with custom modules intended for auxiliary ship assembly line.

Fleets containing auxiliary ships can command Supply on resource points, and fleets will be in supply status on arrival, transferring resources to custom modules intended for auxiliary ships at a certain speed.
Maintenance
In Supply status, the auxiliary ship is able to repair damaged ships in the fleet at the cost of uEcoins.
Aircrafts

RELEASE OF S-LEVY 9-HEAVY TORPEDO CORVETTE
Even if we one day stopped taking steps forward, then I hope our past achievements could be as massive and awe-inspiring as SL9, and that they will forever mark our place in the vastness of space.
——Professor Von Levy, the Faculty of History Department at Hermann University
Story File
During the Galactic War, the Jupiter Industries Group, in response to the growing tensions of the war and the surge in orders for warships, established SL Shipyard No. 9 to undertake the design and production of some of the Group's ships. The first ship designed by SL Shipyard No. 9 was the S-Levy 9 - Heavy Torpedo Escort, in honor of the great city in Jovian orbit that was born from the impact of a comet: Space City -Shoemaker-Levy 9. Space City.
It should be noted that, the Airborne Bombing System of S-Levy 9-Heavy Torpedo Corvette is loaded with AT-3-210M “Supernova-M” Torpedoes, which is the aircraft version of MK2-AT-2-820A "Supernova-White K" Anti-Ship Torpedo of Callisto - Heavy Torpedo Raid Ship. With behemoth body and astonishing power, it was initially devised as the primary weapon module for large Bombers, but was then modified to be carried by corvettes due to limited loading system of fighters. Besides, the number of torpedoes is limited for each cruise, so that S-Levy 9 has to return to the carrier getting reloaded after each round of attack.

SPACE STATION DEFENSE STRATEGIC GAMEPLAY
In the Lagrange Network, those who own the space station also control the traffic routes around and take strategic advantage. Conflicts and gambles among different forces are frequently provoked for the attribution of the space station. To provide you with various strategic battle experiences around the space station, we here bring you the latest updates as below:
Defense stronghold as a critical part of the space station can be set as an attack target of fleets after the update. The structure damages suffered by the defense stronghold will be regarded as damages suffered by the space station. For attacker, it will be a key point how attackers dispatch fleets between the space station and defense strongholds.

As for Defenders, to coordinate and command defense fleets flexibly at space station to cope with changing offensive tactics based on their own preferences and intelligence will be of great importance.
1. “Cautious” Strategic Defense
A Terran Sphere's old saying goes that “Caution is the parent of safety. ” Some forces tend to choose conservative defense strategy in the presence of stronger fleets. Even if it’s the siege fleets of outstanding firepower that pass by the space station, they won’t take initiative to block or attack. Once the defense stronghold or the space station get attacked, they will rally to counterattack based on buildings. It’s noted that, abiding by conservative and cautious battle strategy, to cope with possible attacks suffered by defense strongholds, they will suppress the enemy quickly according to the size of fleets, so as to protect themselves in the safest way.

3. “Aggressive” Strategic Defense
“Attacking could be the best defense” is upheld by some forces in the system. They will send alarms immediately they find suspected fleets docked near the station. No matter whether they respond or not, it will be their first choice to announce battle initially. In face of potential threats, they tend to turn out in full strength, dispatching all fleets to block them with operations, ensuring that they and the station won’t be endangered by any fleets.
