The situation in the war definitely improved, and for now, there were no signs of defeat. However, the expansion of the war's scope also put greater economic pressure on the Alliance.
The Navy was fine, since maintaining the same size fleet was the plan all along, and construction of new ships had never stopped.
But the Army's expenses were huge.
In the Temir Star System, ground warfare on two planets hadn't ceased. Although the intensity had dropped, the overall scale remained, and there was no real way to spend much less money.
With ground battles also erupting in the Copper Barrier Star District, the Alliance Army began to increase troops across multiple planets of that district. After the Mist Horse Star District was attacked, fortifications were certainly necessary, ensuring safety.
All of these increased expenses.
Another rapidly increasing cost was military aid for the many planets in war, which consumed a lot of the Alliance's funds.
