The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

795: Death Trap

Near the asteroid belt outside the third planet in the Valk galaxy, Jedi Knight Baloy and his troops arrived at the place where the signal was sent on an Arquitect-class light cruiser.

"General, the signal source is intermittent and seems to be weakening." A technical soldier said, "It is confirmed that it is a severely damaged mining spacecraft. The spacecraft has been captured by the planet's gravity, and it is expected to be on the planet after 51 standard hours. Crash."

Baloy looked at the image of the spaceship displayed on the screen. It was a mining spaceship produced by the Corellian Engineering Company. The database showed that it was a model more than 2,000 years ago. It has a history of more than 560 years.

The spacecraft is about 400 meters long, has a huge cargo hold and three sets of mining equipment, and can accommodate more than 1,000 crew members and 250,000 tons of cargo.

But the spaceship that appeared on the screen now has a huge damage to its hull, especially in the middle of the hull, a big hole was directly punched out by something, and countless debris slowly hovered around. The anti-gravity system and stabilization system of the spaceship should also be destroyed, and now it is floating crookedly.

"General, according to the scan, there are 5 to 13 signs of life on the spacecraft. Because the situation inside the spacecraft is complicated, the data is not accurate. In addition, the life support device of the spacecraft is leaking oxygen. It is estimated that those survivors will not survive for long." Clone The human commander came over and said.

"Go up and have a look, hoping to get some clues about the invaders from these survivors. We can't fight the shadows, we must expose these things to the sun!" Baloy said firmly.

He put on simple protective gear for himself, and then took 30 soldiers and flew towards the mining spacecraft in a shuttle.

Baloy is a Jedi Knight. He has not yet grown into a Jedi Master to the extent that he can rely on the Force to survive in space. In fact, even a Jedi Master still needs at least a respirator to enter the vacuum of the universe.

[General, we cannot establish contact with this spaceship, so we cannot use the hangar or the docking bay. ] Said the clone commander in the communication.

"It's okay, let's go in through the gap in the spaceship. I'll be the pilot." Baloy said the last sentence to the pilot.

He took over the piloting of the spaceship, and then deployed his original force, sensing everything around him, controlling the spaceship to carefully avoid the floating debris around, and then flew in through the gap in the spaceship that was blasted with incomparable accuracy.

The shuttle door opened, and the clone soldiers flew towards the interior of the spaceship relying on jetpacks. This jetpack is standard equipment for combat in a zero-gravity environment and cannot be used in a gravity environment.

Baloy jumped out of the hatch, he didn't need a jetpack, he only used the force to pull the surrounding things, and then he could move freely in this space.

They followed the spaceship gap to the interior, along the way, there were damaged fragments everywhere, as well as ores blasted out from the cargo hold.

"General! There are corpses here!" a clone trooper greeted.

Driven by the force, Baloy flew over, and he saw the corpse of a crew member floating among a pile of debris. He checked carefully and found that the corpse was hit in the back, and the entire hit place was burned. It became a scorched black hole.

"It's not a wound from a blaster gun, nor a laser gun...it's like a light saber was used to stir it here." Barloy frowned, "It's indeed a plasma weapon, send the information back to the spaceship, find out Find out which organizations or races in this galaxy are using individual plasma weapons."

[The search has been completed, and there are 127 races and 42 organizations that meet the criteria. But none of these are active in the wild star field. ] The voice of the clone commander came from the communication.

"Go ahead." Baloy nodded, "Guide me to the closest route to the survivors."

[At your 10 o'clock direction, there is a cabin door. According to the scan, the electronic system there is still intact. As long as I can access it, I can use military authority to forcibly open the door. However, the door was blocked by a large piece of spaceship debris. 】

"Leave it to me." Baloy approached there, pulled out the lightsaber and inserted it directly into the fragments, and then moved slowly.

The millions of degrees of temperature of the lightsaber instantly melted the shards, cut them, and then cut them in two. Using his greatest force, Baloy grabbed the fragment and pushed it hard. The 7-8 meter long fragment was actually pushed away! Reveal the rear hatch.

A clone soldier immediately found the position of the hatch switch, connected to the data cable, and the Arquitens-class light cruiser immediately entered the military authorization. During times of war, military authorization is above everything else, as long as the level is in place, the door of any civilian facility and spaceship can be opened.

The red light on the door went out, followed by an electric spark, and it looked like the green light had been damaged, but the hatch slid open silently.

A strong airflow spurted out from the door, followed by two corpses, as well as countless debris and blood.

【General, this spaceship has already landed in the compartment, just close the door and repressurize after you go in. 】

Baloy nodded, waited for the airflow to stop, climbed into the cabin, closed the hatch, and activated the pressurization system.

The air filled the place again, Baloy also took off the respirator, and he drew out his lightsaber while guarding and advancing. But I have to say that in such a gravity-free environment, no matter what you do, it is very inconvenient and very inflexible.

In fact, the Jedi Knights act in such an environment in a similar way to Spiderman, and the Force is the spider silk in their hands.

They followed the instructions and headed towards the small cabin of the target. The road was in a mess, and they saw at least a hundred corpses. These corpses were horribly dead, some died of suffocation, and some were killed by plasma weapons.

The feeling of uneasiness has been lingering in Baloy's heart, and the original force has been reminding him that this place is very dangerous and he should leave as soon as possible.

But Baloy hesitated, because he didn't know where the crisis was. He didn't see the enemy, and it was hard to imagine what else could be here.

Perhaps, it was the sense of crisis brought about by the falling spaceship?

For the first time, Baloy had some doubts about the Force.

"General, I feel very strange here..." a clone soldier said, "Judging from the situation here, this spaceship has obviously been boarded and invaded, and it has completely fallen. Under such circumstances, How could there be someone alive to send us a distress signal?"

"Maybe it's a trap." Baloy's eyes became firmer, "but we can only step in and see who the thing that appeared is. If we retreat here, then this thing will once again Hide, then go to the next colony and kill again."

"I think so too, General." The clone trooper nodded.

"Is there something wrong with the scanner?" Barloy asked another soldier.

The soldier held a scanning device in his hand, shook his head and said: "There are mechanical signals everywhere inside the spaceship. The energy source of this spaceship has not been completely cut off, and many devices are still operating. The signals are too complicated, and it is impossible to judge whether the survivors have survived. location of the person."

[Don't worry, general, the scanner on the spaceship can see survivors. They're still there, probably comatose, vital signs are waning, you need to speed up. 】

Baloy pushed away the corpse of a crew member with a terrified expression in front of him, and flew towards the target cabin.

This cabin is in the core area of ​​the spaceship. After the spaceship was damaged, the terrain became very complicated, and they walked for another 5 minutes to arrive.

Judging from the icon on the hatch, this is a power distribution room, which should be very narrow, and the three survivors are crowded here.

The feeling of uneasiness was getting stronger and stronger, Baloy said: "You all stand back, I will deal with it."

The clone troopers nodded, retreated a few meters, and surrounded the place in a ring formation.

As soon as Baloy opened the hatch, he was almost stunned by the terrifying scene in front of him! !

All I saw were three crew members thrown naked in the power distribution room. They were chained, and there was no movement other than instinctive twitching.

Before Baloy could make a move, three steel thorns suddenly protruded from bottom to top, piercing them directly!

Immediately after a burst of powerful electric current flickered, the bodies of the three shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then a large number of nano-tissues were injected from their dry blood vessels, and their muscles and joints began to show a little light.

Red light!

"Go!!" The crisis in Baloy's heart instantly magnified to the limit, and he immediately used his force to grab a table floating beside him to block himself.

Almost at this moment, these three people exploded immediately! ! !

Boom~~! ! ! ! ! The powerful electromagnetic pulse spread instantly along with the electromagnetic pulse, and the powerful impact blown away all the people present, spinning continuously in the weightless environment, and it was almost impossible to stabilize the figure.

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding cargo boxes exploded one by one, countless ores splashed everywhere, and dazzling rays of light shot out from each cargo box!

I only saw a humanoid robot drilled out of it! These robots have soft bodies, and it is almost impossible to connect them to the robot if it is not for some exposed pipelines.

And their heads are like a sensor like a flashlight, and the rays of light are emitted from the sensor.

After these robots got out of the cargo box, they immediately raised their plasma rifles and fired wildly at the clone soldiers!

Countless light blue plasma clusters flew out and exploded on the clone soldiers who hadn't stabilized their figures. Their polymer alloy combat armor blocked a portion of the plasma cluster, but quickly disintegrated and melted under the high temperature.

One by one the clone troopers were killed.

Baloy forcibly stabilized his figure, raised his hand and pushed it back, blocking the plasma ball that shot at him, and there were waves of energy ripples on the robots, which were deflector shields!

The clone troopers were also quickly stabilized by jetpacks, and quickly went into cover to take cover and shoot.

There are more than 50 robots drilled out of the cargo box, and they keep shooting, and their marksmanship is very accurate. Under the leadership of Baroy, the clone troopers fought and retreated, and retreated towards the outside of the cabin.

"We're attacked! We're attacked! It's an unknown robot!" The clone troopers rushed to the spaceship for help.

[We have seen it! There are more signals in this spaceship, the number is more than 100! There is still a part that is heading behind you! 】The spaceship said.

"Request support!"

[Fire and shoot! Use the minimum power to blow up that section of the cabin! 】The clone commander made a prompt decision.

The twin-mounted turbolaser cannons of the Aquitens-class light cruiser immediately adjusted their direction, aiming at another cabin in the direction behind Baloy and the others, and fired directly after reducing the firepower output.

Boom~~~! ! ! The unprotected mining spaceship was suddenly blasted out of a big hole by the turbo laser cannon, and from the hole, the wreckage of the robots that had been blasted to pieces flew out.

But there were more robots that also activated their jets and flew across the hole in the direction of Baroy.

[General, quickly retreat from the gap! Let's lean in! ] The clone commander began to direct the spaceship to approach the mining spaceship.

They didn't dare to continue firing turbo laser cannons, so they used close-in weapon systems to shoot wildly at those robots.

Baloy and the surviving clone troopers rushed out of the ambushed cabin, but more and more robots rushed over, and these robots moved very flexibly. Their feet should be equipped with electromagnetic devices, which can stick to the spaceship cabin When necessary, it can also turn on the jet device to take off.

In such a gravity-free environment, these robots are actually more flexible than clone troopers!

"Hurry up! I'll come back!!" Baloy waved his lightsaber and walked at the end, bouncing back all the dense plasma clusters shot by the robots.

【Hurry up! ! The signal of the robot is close to 200! 】The clone commander said eagerly.

The docking bays of the Arquitens-class light cruiser were opened, and dozens of clone troopers fixed themselves in the bays, shooting desperately at the robots.

The firepower of the robots was also very fierce. Some robots even picked up anti-armor bazookas to shoot at the light cruiser. Although they could not shake the shield of the spaceship, the power of such constant explosions made the situation on the scene even more dangerous.

At this moment, there was a sudden throbbing in Baloy's heart, which almost stopped his heartbeat!

He felt it!

die……

Death, inevitable...

At the same time, the exclamation of the clone commander came from the communicator, "General!! The energy core of the spaceship undergoes a violent energy reaction!! No! This thing is equipped with a reverse reaction bomb!! It is about to explode!!"

"Bastard!!" Baloy yelled, and instead of retreating, he rushed directly to those terrifying robots.

The dense plasma cluster shot at him, he tried his best to block the ion cluster with his lightsaber, and then rushed to one of the robots, the lightsaber flashed, and immediately pierced the robot's chest!

The flashlight-like sensor on the robot's head went out immediately.

Baloy became fierce, frantically blocking the plasma ball, while pushing the wreckage of the robot forward in one direction.

The robot's firepower is getting more and more crazy. The clone soldiers he brought have all been wiped out at this time, and the Arquitens-class light cruiser is trying to leave here.

Baloy had already been shot several times, he screamed and held back the pain, and pushed the wreckage of the robot directly into a rescue cabin!

A few seconds later, an extremely violent explosion swallowed everything around...
