The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1378. Stella Gerrera

In this hidden underground parking lot, there is a secret base of the rebels.

A heroic young woman in her early thirties came over and said to the civilians who just came: "Don't be afraid, we are fighting against this robot regime that enslaves us, not the people. We will arrange to send you out soon." Go outside the city, because Izzy City is about to become a battlefield."

"She's Stella Gerrera! The leader of the rebel army! General Kalani offered a reward of 500,000 credits to catch her!" A person in the crowd exclaimed.

"I suggest that you don't think too much about the bounty, because even if you catch me, General Kalani probably won't honor it—a bullet is much cheaper than 500,000 credits." During the months of struggle, Stella Gerrera has matured a lot compared to before.

She has a calm demeanor and sharp eyes, and she doesn't seem to resist the title of 'Rebel Leader' anymore.

Now that everyone agrees, let's take this responsibility.

That's right, leader, not power, but responsibility!

Stella Gerrera walked up to the front of the crowd and said: "General Kalani disregarded your life and death, issued martial law, and blocked you in those houses, regardless of whether those places are your homes or whether there is food. There are beds. All it cares about is how to tie our planet Onderon to the Separatist chariot."

"How much better do you think you who bombed the power plant and the transport ship are compared to those robots? You are all the same scum!" a civilian said loudly.

"Shut up! Do you want to be beaten?!" A ferocious rebel soldier next to him walked over and wanted to beat someone.

Stella Gerrera waved her hand to signal the man to stop, and then said sincerely: "I don't want to argue with you, I just want to send you out of the city. There are refuge facilities outside the city, go there , at least you can avoid the flames of war. You are all people who have been hunted down by robots within our reach, and we will not sit idly by."

However, the middle-aged man who questioned the identity of the Jedi Knight on trial stood up and pointed at Stella's nose and said, "You still have the face to say that you were hunted down by a robot!? We hid well in the hotel, but you suddenly The tank that attacked the robot! That's why the tank crashed into the hotel, and we had to run out! This is all your own fault!"

Stella lowered her head and said, "I can only say I'm very sorry...because that tank was targeting our convoy, and if they caught up with the convoy, many people would die. So I risked our fire team Destroyed that tank."

After finishing speaking, she came to the trial, bowed and said: "At the same time, I also extend my sincere thanks to you, respected Jedi Knight."

"I'm no longer a Jedi Knight." Judgment said indifferently, "It's just the right time to save these people."

Started 4000 years ago, she added in her mind.

Stella Gerrera just smiled slightly, "When the Jedi Knights evacuated from our planet two months ago, I already understood your position. Now those battleships on the outskirts of the planet are your real allies Well... I understand."

She shook her head with a wry smile, then raised her head and said, "Anyway, I am still very grateful to you. Because of your help, we were able to get rid of the robots' pursuit smoothly."

The judge looked at her and asked suddenly: "Are you going to send these civilians to a shelter outside the city?"

"In this war, I don't know what I should do. I don't have the power to take back our planet from General Kalani, and I don't have the power to stop the invasion of the Galactic Republic... All I can do is save as many of those Innocent people." Stella Gerrera said, "Planet Onderon can't stop the Galactic Republic army from landing, and Izzy City will become a battlefield sooner or later, so I want to take these people out of the city to take refuge."

"You keep launching attacks against robots just to save civilians?" The judge asked rhetorically.

Stella sighed softly, obviously not wanting to talk about this matter, "Some are us, some...not...yes, another group of people."

"I will help you, send these civilians out." Judgment said suddenly.

Stella Gerrera's eyes lit up, "It would be great with the help of the Jedi Knights! We can save more people!"

"Stella, don't forget that the Jedi Knights once abandoned us! And now, they are coming again with their fleet!" said a rebel soldier next to him.

"Oh! Didn't you hear? She said just now that she is not a Jedi Knight." Seth said from the side.

"When will it be your turn to speak here?!" the rebel soldier said angrily.

"I am very grateful for your help." Stella Gerrera walked forward without any grievances, and said to the judge, "My name is Stella Gerrera, and I am currently leading my partners to fight for my beliefs. Your name is……"

"Judgment."

"Judgment?" Stella Gerrera was a little surprised by the name, but she didn't ask too much, and turned to the other fighters and said, "Get ready and send these people out of the city. As long as they can reach the shelter, there Government officials in the country will definitely accommodate them."

Seth said: "I won't go, I said, I will follow you."

"I won't kiss you." Judgment looked into his eyes and said seriously.

"I didn't say that!" Seth spread his hands, "I just want to follow you, watch you, that's all. And, you will protect me?"

"Yes." The judge withdrew his gaze.

"Oh? Yes? So you mean you'll kiss me or protect me?" Seth quipped.

Stella Gerrera looked at the two people, thinking it was a flirting between a couple, and walked away silently.

...

Meanwhile, the planet Onderon, orbiting in outer space.

Five Jaeger-class battlecruisers of the Galactic Republic have entered a position 30 light seconds away from the planet and stopped, and a large number of fighter jets have been launched to bomb the defense facilities on the periphery of the planet.

The intention of these warships of the Republic is very clear, that is, to conduct fire reconnaissance first, and not to rush to obtain immediate results. What they want is to wait for everything to be ready before directly destroying all resistance!

The fighter groups of the two sides began to exchange fire around the spaceport and the armed space station, but the vulture robot fighters on the Onderon planet were no match at all, and hundreds of them were shot down in less than an hour of fighting.

At this time, on the largest satellite of the planet Onderon, the Dirksen satellite, is being built into a steel fortress.

The production line of the Behemoth-class battlecruiser is being dismantled. Some cutting-edge and advanced equipment has been dismantled and transported away a month ago. The remaining production lines have also been simply modified to produce defense facilities.

This is not difficult, especially those facilities that produce near-anti-aircraft guns and heavy laser cannons of Behemoth-class battlecruisers. With a little adjustment, various cannons can be produced. Now around this factory area, there are already forests of Thousands of various turrets!

Although the planet Onderon has fallen into the hinterland of the Republic-controlled area, this planet, which already has strong industrial capabilities, is not completely powerless to fight back!
