The fictional Hapes campaign as a logistics problem

How should the reinforced fictional fleet conduct a punitive expedition into the Hapes Cluster?

Operate in squadrons, advance through both approaches a few worlds at a time, and weigh the cost of controlling the region against its strategic value.

The fictional expedition receives substantial reinforcements, including sixty Victory II Star Destroyers and twenty-four Procurator-class ships, but loses the heavy carrier element of the earlier force. Hapes space impedes hyperspace travel and sensors, with the defended territory eventually described as sixty-three inhabited systems and about 130 planets. Its geography favours a slow advance in squadrons, attacking groups of five to ten worlds before moving farther inward. Two forces would advance through the separate spiral approaches and ships would avoid operating alone. In the fictional precedent, the Empire defeated the defenders but considered a full conquest insufficiently valuable. Limited returns and awkward supply routes can make a militarily possible campaign unattractive.
