The other task is to establish a wide and strong line of defense outside the Alliance's northern territory, preventing any potential threats from the Scarlet Scar.
Among these two tasks, the latter holds even greater importance.
So far, after twenty-seven years of expedition, the North Line has captured roughly over four hundred worlds.
Compared to the West Line, this number falls far behind.
The West Line averages almost one world every two days, while the North Line? Averaging, it takes almost a month to capture one.
Far behind indeed.
But it's not because the North Line is ineffective; the difficulty faced, compared to the West Line, differs greatly.
Many of the worlds encountered by the North Line fall under the safety zone policy in the West Line, requiring the establishment of safety zones. The number of worlds that require the Extinction Order is far greater than in the West Line.
