The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1479、Choose one of the two

"Sir! The eclipse-class prototype ship is speeding up! If we don't take measures, this battleship will fly far away!" An officer came over and reported to the commander of the Kuat Defense Fleet.

The face of the fleet commander is gloomy. Now at least half of the battleships in the Kuat Defense Fleet are surrounding the Eclipse-class prototype ship. There was nothing they could do except exchange fire and watch the signals of the transports disappear one by one.

After all, this is an eclipse level!

With the three super battleships, the Fang, Plague, and Xuanwu constantly raging on the front line of the war, and the Plague once fled to the core area of ​​the galaxy, the Galactic Republic is eager to have its own super battleship.

Commander II is only a temporary answer, because it is just a battleship obtained after zooming in on the basis of existing technology, without any technological breakthrough. And in the Battle of the Eliadu Galaxy, the Commander II-class dreadnought proved unable to counter the Separatist Titan battleship Xuanwu.

The Kuat Power Shipyard proposed a plan for an eclipse-class super star destroyer. In this plan, Lila Blissex drew an extremely magnificent and gorgeous pie for the Speaker of the Republic, Sheev Palpatine, and asked Palpatine to draw the ship out of thin air, or Is blown out of the Armada deeply intoxicated.

It has to be said that Lila Blissex is far superior to her father in at least this aspect—she knows how to please her superiors.

Therefore, the eclipse-class super star destroyer can be said to condense the hopes of the entire Galactic Republic!

The military and parliament of the Galactic Republic are all looking forward to it, waiting for the release of the Eclipse class, and then completely breaking the myth of the invincibility of the super warships of the separatists!

In this case, even if a screw of the Eclipse-class prototype ship dropped, they couldn't afford it!

But if it continues like this, what will it look like? Watching those fugitives who escaped from the Kuat star ring hijack the prototype ship, and then fly out swaggeringly?

"Bastard!!" The fleet commander was extremely annoyed, grabbed his military cap and used it on the ground, turned his head and asked sharply, "Is there any reply from the shipbuilding engineering department? Is there a way to stop this battleship?!"

"The engineering department replied just now, but they can't help it. This ship is a test ship, a prototype ship, and there is no need to install any security measures at all." The liaison officer came over to answer.

"They're lying! They're shirking responsibility!! Those engineers usually put their own safety above everything else, and they don't have any security measures? Who are they fooling!!" the commander roared.

"They..." The liaison officer looked at the commander's face with some unease, but still said, "They said that we are responsible for the security work of the Kuat galaxy. So they can't predict the security problems at this time. So... there is no way."

The fleet commander's face was extremely gloomy. He stared at the half-built super warship on the holographic star map, without saying a word.

"Sir, they are still accelerating... If they are allowed to fly like this, they will leave the planet's gravitational well within 10 minutes at most... At that time, I am afraid their small invisible spaceship will be able to enter hyperspace." The adjutant said from the side.

"How is the hyperspace blocker setup?" the commander asked.

"It's too late. We didn't expect them to be able to escape from space at all, let alone they would have the opportunity to jump into hyperspace... It's too late to deploy the blocker now." The adjutant shook his head.

"Then what about shooting down their spaceship before it flies out of the prototype ship and is ready to sail into hyperspace?" the commander asked again.

"This is currently the second most feasible plan... However, judging from the flight attitude of this spaceship before, it is almost certainly piloted by a dark Jedi knight. It is difficult for me to guarantee that I can really hit him." The adjutant said.

"The second feasible solution? What about the first one?" The commander's expression also turned ugly.

"You know... sir," replied the adjutant.

Destroy this eclipse-class prototype ship... The fleet commander closed his eyes and thought of the most reliable answer so far.

Let these fugitives use the eclipse-class prototype ship as a cover to escape, or destroy the prototype ship? No matter which of these two choices is chosen, the consequences are very serious.

Because in this way, he can hardly absolve himself of the blame anyway.

The high position I finally reached after climbing for half my life may come to an end today...

The commander walked to his seat on the bridge and sat down wearily. After a long time, he stood up suddenly, his bloodshot eyes were extremely fierce, and he said sharply: "Send me all the warships! Fire with all your strength! Destroy the Eclipse-class prototype ship!!!"

"Sir! This..."

"Execute the order!!" The commander roared loudly as if venting.

Following his order, the large and small warships of the Kuat Defense Fleet opened fire one after another, crazily firing at the Eclipse-class prototype ship!

Turbolaser cannons, missiles, torpedoes... All weapons for attacking ships are launched without any reservations!

Numerous explosions and flames immediately surrounded this 17,500-meter-long giant ship. Almost the whole body of this prototype ship has a frame structure, and there is not much outer armor at all. The only armor belt is to maintain the integrity of the structure and protect the power system. Installed for testing process.

Under such a devastating blow, the Eclipse-class prototype ship immediately began to explode and disintegrate at a speed visible to the naked eye!

But the battleships of the Kuat Defense Fleet didn't notice that the Lancer had already activated the hyperspace engine the moment they started firing! In front of the priestess and the trial of two powerful force users, they successfully foresaw the news that the Republic fleet was about to fire, and they made this choice immediately!

This is a very crazy move!

Because they haven't completely escaped from the gravitational well of Kuat planet yet, and they are still inside the eclipse-class battleship!

To do so is to seek death!

However, there is still a glimmer of hope...

Priestess, Depa-Bilaba.

Before the outbreak of the war, she had also participated in the overseas exploration plan proposed by Master Cerbos. Although she did not join in the final implementation, he conducted his research in Cerbos and used the force to forcibly stabilize hyperspace and create She was one of the participants when she was still an apprentice of Master Windu at the time of the experiment of sailing conditions.

This is also their last chance!

Kleist took control of this eclipse-class prototype ship, at least giving them a chance to gamble their lives!

And now...

A white light flashed, and the Lancer disappeared instantly with some internal parts of the Eclipse-class prototype ship. In less than a second after the spaceship entered hyperspace, countless artillery fire instantly submerged the Eclipse-class prototype ship!
