The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

Chapter 2140 Order-37

2141, Order-37

Although Rosa is not a particularly important planet among the main planets of the Trade Union, it is located in the core circle of the Milky Way after all. In such an environment where the economy and industry are extremely developed, even the most destitute planet will have strong strength.

What's more, this is the Trade Union! It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the second largest economic entity in the Milky Way at its peak!

So Rosa is still armed to the teeth.

Rosa is a planet dominated by immigrants, and its native Rosa people are actually a very excellent race. Their bodies are flexible and flexible, and at the same time they are not lacking in strength. They have four tentacles on their heads and are very sensitive to light. Rosa people are extremely good engineers. They are also one of the races that first established the Trade Union, so they also have very strong economic and industrial strength.

There are about 4 billion Rosa people on the planet, and more than 9 billion immigrants of other races. Previously, Rosa was a planet with great racial diversity, and it was also one of the most powerful races among the many affiliated races of the Trade Union.

However, after the rise of the Galactic Empire, although the major officials and the media did not admit it, the empire that pursued human supremacy was not very friendly to Rosa.

Therefore, when the Galactic Empire declared war on the Trade Union this time, the Rosa people stood on the side of the Trade Union without hesitation.

And they were attacked by Darth Vader because of this.

In order to protect their homeland, the Rosa people rose up to resist. They relied on the planetary shield and orbital defense system, and cooperated with the armed space stations and Gauss defense platforms around the planet to launch a resolute counterattack.

But Darth Vader's determination was also very firm. The fleet he commanded launched a storm-like offensive. He didn't intend to waste too much time on Rosa at all. He wanted to destroy the resistance of Rosa in the shortest time!

After three years of the Clone Wars, and the four-year siege of Salukami, as well as the continuous rebellion and suppression after the establishment of the Empire, Darth Vader had already been deeply rooted in such battlefield command. His fleet was like a huge battle axe, continuously chopping at the defense line of the planet Rosa.

On July 17, three days after the attack, the Gauss defense platform and armed space station outside the planet Rosa were swept away, and the Imperial fleet began to bomb the planet Rosa's planetary shield.

The orbital defense cannon built on the ground of the planet Rosa continued to fire. The turbo laser beam fired by this giant cannon over 200 meters high is fatal even to the Imperial-class Star Destroyer!

But the orbital defense cannon has a slow firing rate and a limited coverage range, and it cannot really resist the siege of the Imperial fleet.

Two days later, on July 19, the planetary shield of the planet Rosa was broken!

Without any hesitation, Darth Vader, who had been standing on the bridge of the flagship, just waved his hand vigorously, and the adjutant behind him immediately stood at attention and saluted, turned around and said loudly: "The landing ships will be dispatched immediately!"

Two Cheering-class assault landing ships began to enter the planet's atmosphere directly, followed by more than 130 CSS-1 transport ships, which were full of Imperial stormtroopers.

At this time, a dense burst of missiles suddenly attacked! Almost caught off guard, one of the transport ships was hit by several missiles that were not intercepted in time, and a violent explosion occurred, and all the Imperial stormtroopers transported on it were blown into a ball of fire!

Dozens of frigates appeared in the field of vision with hundreds of fighters, which was the planetary defense fleet that had never appeared!

Most of those frigates were javelin-class missile frigates produced by the Principality of Dawn, and many of the fighters were export-type Ghost fighters, and some were relatively backward Z-95 Headhunter fighters.

It turned out that all these warships were hiding in the planet's atmosphere!

Darth Vader immediately ordered the Imperial Fleet's fighter formation to enter the atmosphere and engage in a fierce fight with the fighter formation of the planet Rosa.

At the same time, he ordered the landing operation to continue without caring about the lives of the stormtroopers!

The warships of the Imperial Fleet also began to descend in altitude, firing directly from the outer layer of the planet at the defense fleet warships in the planet's atmosphere. It doesn't matter if they miss, just treat it as an orbital bombing.

After determining the landing direction of the Imperial Fleet, more fighters and warships from the planet Rosa also rushed to the battlefield. The first to bear the brunt were the vulture robot fighters with a number of more than 2,000!

Almost all combat forces of the Trade Union are equipped with a large number of such robot fighters. Even if their performance is already backward, they can still create a great threat with their huge number.

In addition, the huge figures of several Generosity-class frigates, 1000-class light cruisers, and Apocalypse-class light cruisers and Revenge-class destroyers imported from the Principality of Dawn also appeared in the atmosphere of the planet Rosa.

The Rosa people put all their fleets together in the planet's atmosphere, and they were fully prepared to fight the Galactic Empire to the death!

But Darth Vader would not stop, and the Imperial fleet's attack would not stop either.

40 Victory II-class star destroyers directly broke into the planet's atmosphere and engaged in close combat with the defense fleet of the planet Rosa. At the same time, 10 Tracker-class aircraft carriers also descended and entered low-Earth orbit. With the support of the aircraft carriers, thousands of TIE/LN fighters took off densely, rushing towards the planet Rosa like hungry locusts!

On July 23, the sky above the planet Rosa had been basically cleared. The planetary defense fleet was almost completely destroyed, and the fighters did not dare to form a large-scale formation to fight again. They could only break up into pieces and hide in some hidden airports, harassing the transport ships of the Galactic Empire from time to time.

At this time, a more brutal battle on the ground had already begun.

The first batch of 60,000 landing troops of the Galactic Empire had completed the landing 200 kilometers east of the capital of the planet Rosa, and established a stable landing site. After completely gaining air superiority, a steady stream of supplies and soldiers began to be transported down.

The ground offensive against the planet Rosa also began.

After advancing for more than 30 kilometers, the Imperial Army encountered the first ground force of the planet Rosa. This force numbered more than 100,000 people and built a solid defensive position in a town to block the advance of the Imperial Army.

In the sky, TIE bombers kept whizzing past, dropping powerful bombs on all exposed fire points. The Imperial Army also set up a few AV-7 self-propelled artillery and launched a bombing on the town.

Boom! Boom! Boom! ! The explosions were endless, and a large number of defensive soldiers were blown to pieces in the explosion. But this could not extinguish their will to resist.

The Imperial Army launched the first wave of attacks, with the Imperial Stormtrooper clone soldiers wearing white combat armor as the vanguard, and a larger number of ordinary soldiers wearing gray uniforms followed closely to launch an attack. But what greeted them was the crazy firepower network hidden in almost every building!

A large number of Imperial soldiers were shot and fell to the ground, and the TIE bombers in the sky kept circling and bombing, but they still could not break through the defense line and suffered heavy losses.

In the sky, the huge figures of two Victory II-class Star Destroyers slowly flew by, aiming their powerful turbolaser cannons at the town, and then opening fire directly after reducing the power!

At the same time, Darth Vader, standing on the bridge, coldly issued an order: "Execute, Order 37!"
