The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1145: New Shadow

Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano successfully escaped from a trap on the Kent with the help of clone commander CC-2224 Cody and confirmed that Jedi Master Pon Krell has fallen into darkness At the same time, he also colluded with Asaji Ventress, a dark believer in separatism, to intervene in the war on the planet Umbara.

The current situation is extremely unfavorable for the army of the Galactic Republic. The legion led by Pang Krell suffered heavy losses in the frontal attack, and was later bombed by the Kent. Basically all combat units were destroyed. Scattered, the legion of more than 9,000 people still has no more than 2,000 combat effectiveness!

Anakin-Skywalker's 501st Legion fared slightly better, with casualties under 3,000, but now they too were left alone with another Legion crumbling.

The more serious problem is that because Pang Krell launched an attack on the capital rashly before, Anakin Skywalker also adopted a radical strategy in order to cooperate with his actions, allowing the 501st Legion to break through the enemy's blockade and reach the capital faster . So under such circumstances, some Umbara troops behind them also began to outflank them.

And the four Cheer-class assault landing ships they were on are now in a precarious situation.

The Kent, one of the two Cheers that the Pon-Crael Legion was aboard, was captured by Asajj-Ventress, who then destroyed the other Cheers on the ground.

You must know that the Cheerers that landed on the ground are actually used as a fortress with powerful firepower and a command center. After losing two Cheers, the Umbaras in his direction can deploy troops from this side without any hindrance. Enter the capital to support operations.

As for the 212th Assault Battalion, which was responsible for intercepting the Umbara reinforcements, it was also forced to retreat after suffering heavy losses. In this direction, Umbara's tens of thousands of troops began to threaten the rear of Pang Krell's army!

Anakin Skywalker reported the betrayal of Master Pang Krell and the irreparable news of the entire Umbara Star Wars Bureau to the Jedi Order, then led his army to retreat, gave up the plan to attack the capital, and returned to himself The Hailer-class assault landing ship is ready to turn to the defense.

At the same time, Anakin asked for help from the Supreme Strategic Command of the Republic, hoping to get more reinforcements.

The planet Umbala must be taken back! This was reiterated by the Speaker of the Galactic Council, Schiff Palpatine, during a council meeting.

Because if the planet Umbara cannot be taken back, then this will be a major blow to other suspicious planets. These planets may think that the cost of betraying the Galactic Republic is not high, so they will take the risk!

However, just when the Supreme Strategic Command was preparing to mobilize more troops, a bad news suddenly came!

Severance Tann, the famous separatist general who disappeared after occupying the Eliadu galaxy, reappeared! And she led an elite fleet, and the flagship was another Conqueror-class battleship—the Destroyer! !

The terrible shadow of the Fang hangs over again!

She led the Destroyer and a fleet composed of 5 God-class destroyers and 10 Behemoth-class battlecruisers to suddenly attack the Ambria galaxy (Ambria). The direction of counterattack.

The Umbria galaxy has assembled a powerful force of 30 Hunter-class battlecruisers, 3 Victory-class star destroyers, and 5 Cheer-class assault landing ships, but this fleet is in front of Severance Tann It was completely destroyed like being destroyed!

Under the genius command of Severance Tann, the officially commissioned behemoth-class battlecruiser fully displayed its powerful combat effectiveness. The powerful plasma cannon equipped in it—Yamato Cannon—has posed a serious threat to the Jaeger-class battlecruiser.

In this battle, the Jaeger-class deflector shields proved to be completely incapable of resisting the firing of the Yamato cannon, and the internal structure of the battleship also made it impossible for them to be destroyed. Once the armor was broken, what awaited was almost immediately the tragic death of the ship. ending!

In the previous battles of the Galactic Republic, there were only a few encounters with behemoth-class battlecruisers that appeared in groups once or twice, and they suffered defeat every time. But in this air battle in the Umbria galaxy, the blow to the military of the Galactic Republic was very direct...

There is nothing more embarrassing than a fleet that is being assembled and ready to go is suddenly attacked by someone, and then beaten to the point where the entire army is almost wiped out with almost no power to fight back!

And what's even more frightening is that this time the Conqueror-class battleship Doom did not conduct a single-ship raid like its predecessor, the Fang, but served as the flagship of the fleet to support the entire fleet in combat.

The fearsome threat of the Conqueror class in the fleet battle has once again proved the fears of the Galactic Republic military - Severance Tann used the Doom's directed high-energy electronic pulse to destroy the fighter group of the Republic fleet, and continued to destroy the Republic The formation of the fleet, and then use the Yamato guns of the Behemoth-class battlecruisers to destroy the Republic Jaeger-class one by one.

And after Severance Tann destroyed the Republic fleet in the Umbria galaxy, she didn't stay longer, but turned around and disappeared into the vast sea of ​​stars.

The plan to counterattack the Onderon planet was stillborn, and the Supreme Strategic Command of the Republic urgently stopped counterattack plans in other directions, and immediately convened a military meeting to discuss countermeasures.

The ranks of the Council of War continued to rise, and at the end it was joined by Speaker Shiv-Palpatine and Master Windu, leader of the Jedi Order.

...

Meanwhile, the planet Lundili.

Gary Ulan quickly walked through the gorgeous and noble palace, which was completely out of tune with their usual elegance and calmness.

His long robe billowed with the windy movement of his feet, and the thin fabric even outlined the outline of Gary Ulan's thighs... It was simply unbearable to look at.

In fact, the design of this robe never considered the posture of the wearer when running.

"Father!" Gary Ulan pushed open the door of the study and walked in, shouting in an almost impolite tone.

Standing in front of the window, reading an ancient book through the holographic projection is a thin old man, energetic and not angry. He is the supreme leader of the Lundili planet and the Lundili Interstellar Power Company, the patriarch of the Ulan family— — Bangira Ulan.

He waved his hand lightly, and asked the beautiful maids beside him to step back, and then slowly asked: "Just a ship of Destruction, does it make you so flustered? Gary, this shouldn't be the responsibility of a family heir." air."

Gary Ulan was stunned for a moment, "You know what I want to say? Father."

"The sudden appearance of the Doom, the air battle in the Umbria galaxy, that's what you want to tell me." Bangira Ulan said lightly.

"This air battle is of great value to us!" Gary Ulan said eagerly.

"Three Victory-class Star Destroyers participated in this battle, and the battle data showed that the deflector shields of the Victory-class Star Destroyers could barely withstand the attack of the main guns of the Behemoth-class battlecruisers, and even if the deflector shields Even if it is destroyed, the scientific and effective armor belt arrangement and structural damage of the Star Destroyer are enough to sustain it, so that the Star Destroyer will not lose its combat effectiveness." Bangira-Ulan said calmly, "Compared to the Jaeger-class battlecruiser For the most part, the battle presented the answer to the Behemoth-class battlecruiser almost immediately..."

"That's right! It's our Victory-class Star Destroyer!!" Gary Ulan was extremely excited, "I've got the public relations department in operation, using the Victory-class Star Destroyer as a component of the Republic's fleet for analysis reports and simulated operations The record was sent to the Republic Ship Supervision Committee! This may allow the Republic military to officially purchase the Victory class! Not only that, I also submitted the shipbuilding plan for the Victory II class Star Destroyer!"

Who knew that there was no excitement on Bangira Ulan's face, he just shook his head slightly and said, "Contact the dead angel, the time has come."
