Supply lines would indeed by a problem. The whole plan of the SMC in the first war was to take the Xonexi by suprise, by luring the main Xonexi fleet over to the main SMC invasion force, who would invade ftom waptoria territory and thus have a fairly straight supply line. Thye would then get other, smaller forces into Xonxi territory fombehind, hoping to disrupt supply lines in turn. Though I assume that small fleets of small ships would more easily get away, I agree that these fleets running into whatever sort of unexpected defense in southern Mirus would indeed get easily crushed.

However, while DP was the most heavily defended planet once, I would say it no longer is as of current. Canonically, after the end of the Tyranny Wars it was glassed, which would destroy most of the defenses on-planet. Not to speak about that hyperspace shot it took. The special defenses shattered around the system would also have been destroyed n the bettle leading up to it. DP might have a great symbolic value, but unless the French re-fortified it, it will not be as well-defended as it once was.
