The Rubarthans eventually made a number of important conclusions about the Voribug Organic Battle Moon.
First, it would take a lot of firepower to destroy it. The outer and middle layers of the battle moon were not particularly tough, but they were very thick. What was worse was that the megaconstruct could rapidly regrow its missing mass as long as the attack intensity was not too high.
Second, the defenders could not underestimate the offensive capabilities of the VOBM. Even if it did not concentrate enough high-quality materials on the surface to grow particularly large or powerful weapon systems, the surface area was still so great that it was able to cover its entire exterior with plasma cannons and other simple weapon systems.
The quality did not matter too much. So long as the numbers were great enough, the VOBM could easily overwhelm the defenses of any warship or orbital fortress, especially at closer ranges.
