General Wallace was in the War Room at the Coalition Council Building. This was where any military mission could be viewed from in real time.
Hundreds of military strikes had been watched in this room, relayed from whichever area of space it was taking place through hyperspace relays that boosted communication signals to almost instantaneous levels. Never before though had the inhabitants of the room watched something happen so close to home.

They can target and fire their plasma railguns the instant we get the word that the missiles have been neutralised,” Wallace said as he stared at the main monitor screen at the far end of the room.
