The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

163. Miscellaneous Fleet

The Enterprise Alliance didn't wait for the Galactic Republic to react, and brazenly sent troops!

400 spaceships encircle the planet Marathal. It is impossible for such a large-scale military operation to be conducted without any premeditation. The only possibility is that the members of the Enterprise Alliance have already Start gathering the fleet! !

However, the Galactic Council here has adjourned, and the councilors scattered to go home one after another. This sudden news just gave those powerful councilors something to talk about at dinner time.

Councilor Tim hurriedly took a few assistants to block Speaker Finnis-Valoren, and said eagerly: "Mr Speaker! The fleet of the Enterprise Alliance has surrounded the planet Marathal!! I beg you to save We! The planet Marathal is also a member of the Republic, so is it what the Republic does to sit back and watch the members of the Galactic Republic being ravaged by mercenaries and pirates?!"

Speaker Valorum also heard the news, and just as he was burning with anxiety, he put his hands on Tim's shoulders and said earnestly: "Rep. Tim, I understand your situation, but I also hope you can understand my situation. The Judicial Fleet of the Republic It is impossible to dispatch, and if it is proposed to intervene in the dispute of the Marathal planet in public, the result will be disastrous."

"But you can't..."

"Listen to me Tim!" Valorum cut him off. "We can't publicly express our support for Marathal, but that doesn't mean we don't do anything. I'll contact Darth immediately Dustig Sector Forces, and let them come to your aid."

Tim's face eased a little, but he was still very worried, "Your Excellency, the Dustieg sector fleet is only a local garrison fleet after all, and it is difficult to guarantee its combat effectiveness! The Enterprise Alliance has sent more than 400 ships. spaceship!"

"It is absolutely impossible for the judicial fleet to be dispatched. Now as long as the fleet of the Dustig Military District can hold back the fleet of the Enterprise Alliance, we have time to do more things. Now, you hurry up and arrange your own affairs! Leave the council to me!" Valoren said.

Councilor Tim left suspiciously.

Valorum walked quickly towards his office, but on the way, he ran into Senator Palpatine. He also had a worried expression on his face. Seeing Valoren approaching, he said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency, the situation is really out of control!"

"I know. Now we need to contact the Dustig Military District as soon as possible and let them send troops to help the planet Marathal! Come with me." Valoren continued to move forward without stopping.

Back in the office, Finnis-Valorum immediately connected to the communication of the Commander of the Defense Fleet of the Dustig Military District, and a Dag image appeared in the holographic projection, "It turns out to be the honorable Speaker, what are your orders? "

Valoren said sternly: "I want you to organize a fleet immediately, go to the planet Marathal, and help them break through the siege of the Enterprise Alliance fleet!"

The Dag commander looked embarrassed, "This... I just heard that the Republic doesn't interfere with Marathal?"

"Your news is very well-informed. But I must remind you that it was before the Enterprise Alliance sent troops. Now that the Enterprise Alliance has expanded the matter, we must suppress their behavior!" Valoren said .

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Speaker. Our fleet has just been undergoing maintenance, and it is indeed impossible to dispatch. You can look at our records, and declared all the spaceships for overhaul two days ago. Now we don't have a single spaceship that can be used. Ah..." the Dag man said in a strange way.

"You..." Valoren looked cold, but then he figured it out, and he shut off the communication with a snap, "Bastard! The defense force of the Dastig Military District was bought by the Enterprise Alliance! But Marathal The home planet of their Dags!!"

"This is normal, Your Excellency the Speaker. They didn't have any sense of existence as a local defense fleet. Now, because of the actions of the Enterprise Alliance, they have the opportunity to accept a large amount of bribes. Of course, they can even sell their home planet." Standing aside Palpatine said.

"These moths of the Republic! Sooner or later I will eradicate them all!!"

"There will definitely be such a day, Mr. Speaker. But now we still need to focus on the immediate matter. I suggest that you contact the Kwymar Sector Forces. Their fleet is much larger. I There I met a promising young commander, Captain Woolf Ularen. I recommend him to command this operation," Palpatine said.

Valoren nodded and said: "I know Captain Yularen, he made a lot of achievements in the battle against the pirates. Then it's decided, contact the Kumar Sector Defense Force immediately!"

With an imperceptible smile on the corner of Palpatine's mouth, he added: "It's not enough. The Enterprise Alliance is powerful, and we need more support. I remember the Tyus sector and Val-Harden sector ( The governor of the Var Hagen sector has a very good relationship with you. I believe they will be willing to come to help you."

Valoren sighed, "After all, these two star regions are far away from the planet Marathal. It will take at least three days to assemble the fleet for action."

Palpatine smiled faintly, "We have already done what we should do, so in these three days, Congressman Tim should consider issues."

Valorum nodded emphatically, and then said, "Thank you, Senator Palpatine. I almost lost my sense of proportion."

"This is what it should be, Your Excellency the Speaker. Now that the galaxy is in troubled times, we should work together." Palpatine nodded humbly.

...

Turn back the time to 1 standard day ago, Hydia Passage, the planet Agma.

A huge fleet is assembled here, and the fleet has more than 300 spaceships. Although most of these spaceships are small spaceships no longer than 50 meters, the overwhelming number is still frightening.

Except for the spacecraft of the Enterprise Alliance, the main force of the fleet comes from various pirates and gangsters who have colluded with the Enterprise Alliance.

Including Madam Vixi's White Worm Organization, Dryden Voss' Blood Dawn, Sycudian pirates, etc., all accepted high-priced employment from the Enterprise Alliance and sent spaceships to participate in the war, forming this large-scale motley crew military.

At the core of the fleet are five relatively large spaceships. These spacecraft are basically dish-shaped, about 200 meters long, and there is a large single-mounted turbolaser cannon under the spacecraft.

This is a Fantail-class destroyer (Fantail-class destroyer), a type of escort ship built by the Enterprise Alliance. It can be regarded as a spaceship built on the edge of the policy of the Galactic Republic.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Fantail-class destroyer is not very good, it is a large battleship of more than 200 meters after all. For those gangsters and pirates who generally only have small spaceships, it is still a powerful force that is difficult to match.

Among them, there is a fantail-class destroyer that has obviously been modified and has a slightly different shape from the surroundings. The hull of this destroyer is sprayed with a hideous logo with purple paint!

Tomorrow there will be a trade union event, so I don't think there will be any chance to code, so please take a day off.
