The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1443. Survival in Difficulty

The planet Dorin, the hometown of Kel-Dor, is also the race that gave birth to a generation of great men such as Jedi masters Pulo-Kon and Sha-Kong.

The most distinguishing feature of the Kyle-Dorr is their tough, airtight skin, and the face masks and respirators they wear at all times. However, like the Ji Wen people with bony outer shells, generally speaking, such an appearance can only explain one thing——

Dorin planet is one of the planets with the most extreme environment in the Milky Way.

The Dorling galaxy where the planet is located has two massive black holes nearby. However, a three-body system is not formed between these two black holes and a star, but they are independent of each other and have their own stable orbits.

It's just that when the planet Duolin orbits closer to one of the black holes, part of the planet's atmosphere will be attracted by the black hole's gravity. Over time, the atmosphere of the planet Duolin has been very thin for a long time, and at the same time, it is filled with a lot of harmful substances. gas.

At the same time, even the light will be warped by the gravitational force of the black hole, so the planet Dorling has no light for a long time during its revolution. Although there is no light, the radiation from the black hole becomes the source of energy that feeds everything on the planet.

The same is true, affected by the two black holes, the hyperspace channel where the planet Duolin is located is not always navigable. Whenever a planet is under the gravitational pull of a black hole, the hyperspace lanes are fraught with danger and generally unusable.

It's just that, just like the Jiwen people, in this extreme environment, the brilliant civilization of the Kyle-Dor people was born. The Kyle-Dor people have built their own industrial system and scientific research system, and they are also one of the few races in the galaxy that rely on themselves to enter the interstellar era.

Not only that, the valiant Kyle-Dor are also very good fighters in the galaxy, they are often active in every corner of the galaxy as mercenaries and bounty hunters.

Because of this, when the planet Dorin was attacked by geth, the Seventh Army of the Galactic Republic immediately sent a fleet to reinforce it.

At the same time, it is also because when the Kitumite military alliance headed by Anxin Planet broke away from the Galactic Republic and joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems, the northern gateway of the Galactic Republic was the planet Dolin.

The original plan of the Supreme Strategic Command of the Galactic Republic was to rely on the developed industrial system of Planet Dorin to defend against the attacks of the Geth. However, judging from the current battle situation, it is clear that the Supreme Strategic Command is thinking too much.

Geth has become a climate, and their strength is growing every day. As more and more planets are controlled, their strength is expanding faster and faster! This has completely exceeded the worst scenario made by the Supreme Strategic Command!

And now, under the command of the interim commander of the Second Squadron of the Seventh Army of the Galactic Republic, Gilad Pellaeon, the assembled Republic Fleet flew straight towards the black hole!

Although the captains of many warships raised objections to this, because flying into a black hole under such circumstances is tantamount to courting death!

But Gilad-Pellaeon insisted on this order, and even demanded that if the captain refused to carry out the order, he would be arrested immediately and replaced by the deputy captain.

Those captains looked at their deputy captain's eager expression, and could only agree one by one.

In fact, even if they didn't, what would they do in the face of a geth fleet besieging them? By the time Gilad-Pellaeon took command of the fleet, the Second Squadron had been effectively routed by the geth fleet.

If this continues, it will only delay the time of failure.

As for surrender? Don't think the geth will stay alive!

So it's dead anyway, so it's better to fight now when someone comes up with a plan.

Under Gilad-Pellaeon's command, all the fighters returned to the battleships, and all the battleships formed a circular array, like hedgehogs, relying on dense formations and dense firepower to fight against the highly mobile fleet of the Geths .

This strategy has achieved preliminary results. After all, if the two sides stand still, the Geth cruiser with a length of only 300 meters is still inferior to the Jaeger-class battlecruiser with a length of 1137 meters. But to be honest, the fact that these two types of battleships can be compared together speaks volumes about the terrible performance of the Geth battleships!

But just like this, it is still waiting to die. At most, it's just a few more geth warships to be buried with him before he dies.

"Everyone, prepare for zero gravity! Turn off the artificial gravity system!" Following Gilad Perrine's order, everyone in all the battleships immediately grabbed the things beside them, and the console and Soldiers seated in the control room secured themselves with seat belts.

Soon, the artificial gravity system was turned off, and everything in the battleship floated. At this time, everyone held their breath in unison. In such a weightless environment, everyone was very nervous.

In this way, the Republic fleet formed a dense formation and flew towards a black hole, while the Geth warships pursued hotly, and the two sides chased and fled while fighting fiercely.

Some Republic warships were damaged by collisions and fell out of formation. The lone warship was quickly destroyed by the geth warships.

It's just that Gilad Pellaeon's command was very calm. He continued to command the warships to fill in the gaps and ensure that there would be no loopholes in the formation.

At this moment, suddenly every battleship shook violently! Immediately, the battleship had gravity again, but this time, the gravity was deflected in the direction of the black hole! The unfixed objects in the battleship all slid towards the front of the battleship.

A soldier at the console turned his head and said in horror: "Sir! We have entered the gravitational range of the black hole! We are about to be captured by the gravity of the black hole!!"

Everyone's face was pale.

Everyone knows what it means to be captured by the gravity of a black hole! Different from being captured by the gravity of the planet, the gravity of the planet is only that strong. Even if it is captured, if the battleship still has power, it will be a forced landing on the surface of the planet.

But black holes are different! The gravitational force of a black hole is hundreds of thousands of times that of an ordinary planet! In other words, if captured by a black hole, it will not be long before it will be directly torn and disintegrated by the strong gravitational force, broken down into fragments smaller than atoms, and then dragged into the black hole.

In other words, the life of this fleet is now counting down!

The siren kept sounding, and the controller yelled in a crying voice, "Sir! We are close to the limit! If we continue to move forward, we will not be able to escape the gravity of the black hole!!"

"Hold on! If we can't do it, the Geth battleship can't do it!" Gilad Pellaeon was also sweating, and he shouted sharply.

Sure enough, several of the Geth battleships that were besieging them before were captured by the gravity of the black hole, spinning uncontrollably, and then being pulled into the depths of the black hole.

The remaining geth warships turned quickly and fled away from the black hole.

"Sir!!" the controller yelled.

Gilad Pellaeon didn't need to listen to what he said below to know what it meant, the battleship has exceeded the limit! Now they can no longer escape the gravity of the black hole!

"It's now! All ships activate the anti-gravity system! The direction of gravity is opposite to that of the black hole! The engines of all ships are fully turned on! Get out of the range of the black hole!" Gilad Perrine gave an order, "After breaking away from gravity, start the hyperspace engine immediately! "

Under his command, the anti-gravity systems of all battleships are fully operational, and all energy is supplied to the engines!

Under the pull of two powerful gravitational forces, almost everyone suffered extremely strong pressure! Some crew members with poor physique even fainted on the spot! The objects in the battleship began to rotate under the competition of gravity in different directions, and it was getting faster and faster!

Finally, the Republic Fleet escaped from the gravitational pull of the black hole, and flew straight ahead like an arrow leaving the string! However, several battleships were still dragged into the black hole because of engine damage.

And at this time, those Geth battleships that were fleeing happened to be facing the fleet of the Republic with their backs!

Without any hesitation, the warship of the Republic opened fire immediately! The fire from behind immediately disrupted the formation of the geth battleships, and several geth battleships were destroyed.

But the Second Squadron did not stop because of this. While the Geth battleships were reorganizing, they immediately activated the hyperspace engine, and immediately left the battlefield regardless of the hyperspace chaos that might occur under the influence of the black hole!

...

Meanwhile, the capital of the Galactic Republic, Coruscant.

It has been two days since Speaker Palpatine was assassinated. During the past two days, the Supreme Council of the Jedi Order, led by Shak Ti, has been discussing how to solve the current problem.

Just go out and kill Darth Sidious? Impossible, they will soon become traitors and be surrounded by the army of the entire Galactic Republic.

Sitting still? That is even more impossible, and it is impossible for Darth Sidious to let the Jedi Order go. Just don't know what he is waiting for now.

Leaving Coruscant? Now that the planet has been blocked, they can't even send a communication.

Anakin Skywalker was also in this uneasy atmosphere. He sat restlessly on the bed in his bedroom, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

What happened in this short month almost overturned everything he knew!

First, Master Windu's expulsion from the Jedi Order, then the appearance of the Blood Warrior, the terrorist attack of Barris-Offee, and her indictment of the Jedi Order in the Inquisition, and...

Ahsoka Tano's departure.

Even looking forward, the changes in his mother, the conspiracy of the dead angel, the development of the war situation, and... everything that happened on the planet Onderon are challenging the values ​​he formed in the Jedi Order over the past ten years .

Because during the Onderon Star Wars, he even sincerely believed that the extreme actions of Wilhuff Tarkin were correct!

And in Anakin's view, the development of the battle situation is also constantly proving the correctness of Tarkin's theory. It was also because of this battle that he and Tarkin became friends.

In fact, in the past, the kind-hearted Anakin would never have imagined that he could become friends with an extreme militarist.

And now...someone actually told him that the speaker of the Galactic Republic, Palpatine, was Darth Sidious, Lord of the Sith!

What the hell is going on with this galaxy?

This question, Anakin Skywalker asked himself repeatedly in the past two days, but he didn't have any answer.

Beep, beep, the communicator suddenly rang.

Anakin was taken aback! Because even the communication is blocked now, how could there be communication to him? !

However, when he saw the text message sent by the newsletter, his face suddenly turned pale!

Correspondence from, Schiff Palpatine! Speaker of the Galactic Republic! Also, Darth Sidious, Lord of the Sith!

Anakin's heart was beating violently, and his fists were clenched tightly. He even wanted to rush over and pierce the Sith Lord's chest with his sword right now! Perhaps now is the best opportunity!

He stood up suddenly, picked up his lightsaber and looked at it carefully, then hung the lightsaber on his waist, and walked out.

The entire Jedi Order is now in a daze, and no one cares about his departure. Anyway, there are quite a few people who left the Jedi Order these days, but most of them just wandered around and came back, unable to do anything.

The current leader of the Jedi Order, Shak-Ti, also strictly forbids them to make any extraordinary moves.

Anakin-Skywalker came to the square, there was already a hover car parked here, he got in the car, without him talking, the robot driver controlled the hover car and drove directly towards the direction of the Parliament building, there was no traffic on the way. subject to any obstruction.

On the square outside the parliament building, heavily armed Spati clone soldiers were everywhere, and these soldiers surrounded the entire building, almost impenetrable.

Seeing such a posture, Anakin Skywalker's face became gloomy.

The hover vehicle stopped, and Anakin Skywalker thought he would be immediately surrounded by countless soldiers, but it didn't happen. He just walked towards the speaker's office on the highest floor of the parliament building, led by a protocol robot.

Standing at the door of the Chancellor's office, Anakin Skywalker stopped and took a deep breath.

For some reason, there were no guards outside. But Anakin knew that it was inside... the culprit who plunged the entire galaxy into chaos, Sith Lord Darth Sidious!

Anakin-Skywalker took off the hilt of the lightsaber from his waist and held it tightly in his hand. Although he didn't open it, he was ready to fight!

Click, the automatic door opened gently... A familiar and weak voice came, and the scene that greeted his eyes left Anakin Skywalker stunned!

"Thank you, Governor Tarkin... We need to give more reinforcements to Planet Dorin, we must avoid it... cough cough... avoid the fall of Planet Dorin... cough cough... we can't lose... Kyle Dorin Erren...cough cough cough cough..."
