The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

$2290, Fist of Vader

In the sky, dozens of CR-25 landing ships were swooping down towards the battlefield under the escort of TIE/LN light fighters.

The CR-25 landing ship was developed by Corellia Engineering during the Clone Wars. It is 60 meters long and can carry 40 soldiers, 2 LAAT/I assault transports, 14 74-Z hoverbikes and 4 AT-PT bipedal walkers, which is basically the carrying capacity of 4 tactical teams.

This type of landing ship inherits the characteristics of Corellia Engineering, which is very low-key and very reliable. Even in the army of the Galactic Empire, it is still used in large quantities.

However, this time, these CR-25 transport ships reduced the transport capacity, and each transport ship only carried 20 soldiers.

The transport fleet descended rapidly and soon approached the battlefield area where the scorpion destroyer robot was rampant. Soon, these transport ships were suspended in the air 100 meters above the ground and opened the hatch.

I only saw tall and burly figures appearing at the hatch door one after another, and then jumped down without hesitation!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! ! A dull sound of hitting the ground came, as if the ground was shaking.

In the flying dust, heavy footsteps sounded, and tall figures came out one after another! These people seemed to be similar to stormtroopers, but they were completely different.

Because these people were all wearing power armor up to 2.3 meters high! This power armor is extremely heavy, with a large number of weapons installed on the back and wrists, and from their walking posture, it seems that it does not particularly affect flexibility and mobility. And it seems that each soldier's power armor is also slightly different, and it should be modified differently according to their different combat habits.

The imperial soldiers at the scene were all stunned. They had never seen such equipment!

These soldiers wearing power armor continued to jump off the CR-25 transport ship and join the queue here. In just a few minutes, hundreds of soldiers had completed the formation and assembly.

On the forehead of these soldiers' helmets, there is a line of small words: 501.

This is the 501st Legion! Vader's Fist!

After the reorganization of the Galactic Empire, the 501st Legion was assigned to Anakin Skywalker during the Clone Wars, and then it was naturally inherited by Darth Vader and became his direct legion. Unlike the Imperial Army, which has begun to replace a large number of natural soldiers, the 501st Legion has always used clone soldiers, and later readjusted the growth rate of clone soldiers to make them live longer.

This army is the most powerful legion in the Galactic Empire!

Now, they appear here, and are equipped with this kind of powerful power armor. This also shows Darth Vader's goal-to win the battle and completely occupy the planet Cato-Neimoidia!

"A scorpion annihilator has been detected and will be eliminated immediately!" A captain of the 501st Legion waved his hand, and his soldiers immediately divided into dozens of battlefield groups tacitly, running quickly towards the direction of the fierce exchange of fire.

In the sky, those CR-25 transport ships were still constantly transporting back and forth, sending shiploads of 501st Legion soldiers to every part of the city to support the battle.

501st Legion, join the battle!

…

A team of 501st Legion soldiers turned on the acceleration mode of the power armor and ran wildly at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour. The obstacles and wreckage along the way could not stop their steps, either bypassing or jumping away.

The burning wreckage of an AT-TE walker was lying on the side of the road, and the operator's body, which had been burned to a skeleton, could still be seen in the broken cockpit.

"The military leaders actually sent this backward equipment to the battlefield. It seems that they really have no shortage of troops." A soldier said.

"Don't talk nonsense, the annihilator is 300 meters ahead, ready to meet the enemy!" said the captain.

All soldiers immediately stopped accelerating and separated into individual units. Two of the soldiers pressed the button, and the hatch behind the power armor opened, and several micro drones flew out and flew forward.

The drone's image was immediately transmitted to their helmets, "Oh my god, this is simply a massacre!"

The Scorpion Annihilator was still wandering on the battlefield, cleaning up the scattered soldiers who were still resisting. The wreckage of AT-TE and AT-ST was everywhere around, at least 3 AT-TE and 8 AT-ST were destroyed, but the particle shield of this robot was still as strong as before!

"Attention, all units! Since last month, the Trade Federation has updated the combat algorithm of the Scorpion Annihilator. Now they will hide inside the building when the shield is weakened to avoid the attack of heavy armored units. We must ensure success once!" said the captain.

"Yes!"

The soldiers of the 501st Legion immediately dispersed and surrounded the Scorpion Annihilator from all directions.

The Scorpion Annihilator also found the target immediately, it turned the muzzle instantly, and fired immediately after a slight aim! Boom!!!

A violent explosion suddenly exploded in the direction of the target, but in the explosion, a figure was blown away! The soldier was not blown to pieces, but survived under the protection of the power armor.

Deflector shield! These soldiers of the 501st Legion are equipped with individual-level micro-deflector shields! Although this shield can only withstand one shot from the Scorpion Annihilator, for these battle-hardened clone soldiers, one shot is enough!

The soldiers who were attacked rolled on the ground and soon left the Scorpion Annihilator's shooting range. At the same time, people in other directions immediately opened fire. They either fired light rockets from their wrists, or used flamethrowers, and some used plasma weapons to try to neutralize the robot's particle shield.

The Scorpion Annihilator immediately turned to attack others, but the soldiers of the 501st Legion were very experienced. They left the battlefield immediately after being attacked, not giving the Scorpion Annihilator a chance to make up for the second shot.

There were still some combat robots around to cover, but these combat robots were no threat at all in front of the 501st Legion wearing heavy power armor! The firepower carried by these soldiers can even break the Destroyer robot head-on.

Under the cover of those combat units, a soldier finally managed to get within 10 meters of the Scorpion Annihilator after turning on the optical camouflage. At this moment, the spherical electronic sensor of the Scorpion Annihilator suddenly turned and discovered the existence of the soldier, and it immediately turned to fire!

But it was a step too late. The soldier had already rushed over and slid through the shield on the spot. While passing through the shield, the hatch on his shoulder opened and more than ten small sticky bombs were shot out from it.

Boom! Boom! Boom! ! The sticky bombs exploded from under the Scorpion Annihilator, and this almost invincible combat robot finally turned into fragments.

This is also the last Scorpion Annihilator on the entire Cato-Neimoidia planet.

In the sky, a dark Lambda-class shuttle flew over the battlefield and landed directly. The hatch opened, and a tall black figure walked down, accompanied by heavy footsteps and breathing.

Darth Vader!

He looked at the remains of the Scorpion Annihilator on the ground, sneered under his mask, and then looked towards the direction of the City Hall. Swish~~!! A blood-red lightsaber appeared in his hand.

"Continue the attack! End the battle today!" Darth Vader said slowly.
