The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

2348. The safest travel planet

On September 19, Admiral Gilad Pellaeon's fleet arrived at the planet Grad-Anselm.

This planet is located on the edge of the central ring of the Milky Way. It is a beautiful planet with a huge body of water. The amphibious race Notulan and the aquatic race Anselmi live on the planet. The hometown of the late Norturan Jedi Master Kit Fisto is the planet Gullah-Anselm. Among them, the Anselmi rarely leave the planet, so they are basically unknown to outsiders.

Later, with the expansion of the Interstellar Banking Association and the Fourth Group in the north, the planet Gullah-Anselm was also brought under their control, and the Interstellar Banking Association was also preparing to turn this planet into a planet of wealth. . Therefore, they began to develop tourism on the planet, opening casinos, amusement parks, and resort cities.

With the investment from the Interstellar Banking Association, the tourism industry on the planet Gullah-Anselm has developed rapidly. Although few people go there due to traffic problems, the Planet Dawn has become a well-known tourist attraction in the north within the control of the Kingdom of Dawn.

Is there anything more beautiful than being surrounded by the geth fleet, sunbathing comfortably, and enjoying a glass of ice-cold wine from the tray in the hands of a geth individual?

This planet is beautiful, rich, and full of hope. It was in sharp contrast to the hell-like planet Dolin that was destroyed by the Geth just a few seconds away. In fact, in the eyes of Admiral Gilad Pellaeon, such a comparison is of course irrefutable evidence that the Kingdom of Dawn is secretly colluding with the Geth!

The Geth, who kill everyone on sight, left your prosperous and fertile planet behind and remained motionless, and then captured the planet Dorin and built it into a fortress to protect it. It is absolutely impossible to say that the Dawn Kingdom and Geth are not colluding!

Of course, when a planet like Grad-Anselm faces the invasion of the Galactic Empire, there is no possibility of resistance.

After the arrival of the Imperial fleet, the planet Gullah-Anselm surrendered without any resistance at all. The governor of the planet, Darsana, a former congressman who had previously represented the planet in the Galactic Republic Parliament, personally connected to the communication with Gilad Pellaeon and expressed his surrender very obediently.

Looking at Darsana smiling humbly on the screen, Gilad Perrine could no longer hold back the anger in his heart!

"How dare you... how dare you do this!" Gilad Perrine gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words from between his teeth. At this moment, his mind was constantly replaying the scenes he had seen on the planet Duolin before, as well as the countless tragic scenes he had witnessed during the more than ten years of fighting the geth.

Darsana obviously misunderstood what he meant. She bowed again and said politely: "No... we dare not have any disobedience to the empire. Please believe that we sincerely want to surrender." The planet Le-Anselm is just a peaceful tourist planet, and there are no armed forces on our planet.”

"Hahahahaha!!" Gilad Pellaeon laughed angrily, "Yes! Yes!! In this place where the geth are raging and killing everywhere, the planet Grad-Anselm doesn't even exist. Any weapon! Yes! You guys get along very well!

Only then did Darsana realize that something was wrong. She knelt on the ground with a bang and said in frustration: "General... it's not that he gets along well with Geth, but that we have been paying protection fees to Geth, so we can It’s safe!”

"Protection money? Give it to Tang Xiao or Thorn Hill?" Gilad Pellaeon asked.

"No... no... we definitely don't dare!" Darsana said quickly.

"I should give the order now to completely plow your planet to the ground! To comfort the civilians who were massacred by the geth!!" Gilad Pellaeon roared.

"General...please don't do this. We are all innocent..." Darsana begged for her life.

Gilad Pellaeon resisted the urge not to issue the order for orbital bombing. He paused for a moment and said: "You and the current government of the planet, all officials above the minister, immediately take the shuttle to my spacecraft. I declare , you are under arrest.”

He glanced at Darsana coldly and said, "I'll give you one hour. If you haven't arrived by then, I will directly send the battleship into the atmosphere to capture people!"

"Yes...yes..." Darsana agreed quickly.

It only took half an hour for all the main members of the planet's current government to arrive. They huddled together tremblingly and stood in front of Gilad Pellaeon.

"Tell me the defense deployment of Anxin Planet." Gilad Pellaeon asked coldly.

Dalsana quickly replied: "The Malarian Alliance has their own independent defense fleet, which is approximately equivalent to the strength of a squadron. There are about 30 capital ships, and an estimated 400 frigates and light cruisers, all of which are Their flag from the obsolete battleships from Planet Dawn. The ship is a Doomsday Battlefield-class battlecruiser, which was presented to Musul by His Majesty Tang Xiao, the King of Dawn. This is also their most advanced battleship. Musul is said to be planning to purchase an Endless-class super aircraft carrier next year. As his mobile palace, this guy has made a lot of money in the past few years by relying on Unknown Star Territory.”

She poured out all the information she knew as if she were pouring beans.

"Where is the geth fleet?" Gilad Pellaeon asked again.

"I really don't know about this... The Geth fleet is elusive, they never notify anyone, they come and go as they please, and no one knows what they are busy doing all day long..." Dalshana answered.

"What are the recent movements of the Geth fleet? Two days ago, a Geth fleet should have retreated from the front line and passed by you, right?" Gilad-Pellaeon asked.

Dalshana shook her head blankly, "I haven't seen any Geth warships in the past few days... You said they retreated, but I don't know anything about this..."

"Is the hyperspace channel from here to Anxin Planet unobstructed?" Pellaeon continued to ask.

"No. The Malarian Alliance has set up a large number of hyperspace blockers, and they don't even allow our ships to enter!" Dalshana looked a little angry when she said this.

Gilad-Pellaeon nodded, waved his hand, and two clone soldiers in white armor immediately came over, took Dalshana and the others away, and detained them in the temporary prison set up in the battleship barracks area.

The fleet of the Geth appeared and disappeared mysteriously... Did the defeated warships not pass through the planet of Gler-Anselm? Gilad Pellaeon almost instinctively smelled the smell of conspiracy. The fleet of the Geth is definitely more than the more than 300 dreadnoughts on the planet of Dolin, so... where is their main force?

A familiar smell... The Geth often set traps of various kinds, and they even understand the weaknesses of human nature better than humans themselves.

Gilad Pellaeon thought for a while and said, "Send a vanguard to clear the hyperspace channel."

"Yes!"

Another day passed like this. On September 20, when Gilad Pellaeon was anxious, the vanguard sent to clear the hyperspace blocker suddenly sent back a signal.

This is... a distress signal!! (End of this chapter)
