The unleashing of the battle formations instantly changed the game.
The impact on the aliens was enormous. They had never experienced anything comparable to what just happened. The brief appearance of Helena along with all of the other strangeness even caused the more superstitious ones to believe that the Golden Skull Alliance had gods on its side!
The reaction from the other pioneering groups was also noteworthy.
Unlike the alien pirates of the Palace of Shame who only appeared to collect general information about the human invaders, the Gemini Family and the other pioneers already knew what would happen in advance.
They did not react too strongly in the past when they saw the battle formations do their work in a prior battle that none of them cared about.
