The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

2309. Raid Battle on Planet Kira (1)

In the outer space of the planet Kira, countless battleships broke away from the berths of the space port, flew out, and then formed formations. Inside the battleship, soldiers from various combat departments lined up in neat lines, shouting slogans and running through the corridors towards their respective combat posts.

Gunners are in position; loaders are in position; observers are in position; pilots are in position; ground crews are in position; navigators are in position; radar crews are in position; communications crews are in position; damage control crews are in position Bit……

There are 270,000 officers and soldiers of all levels on the Executor-class super Star Destroyer Lusankaya alone. And the total number of crew members in this entire fleet exceeds one million!

The huge army, controlling the most advanced war machines, is fully activated at this moment!

"The hyperspace outpost maintains the highest alert to ensure that no disturbance can be missed!" Michel Unser ordered.

"yes!"

Michel Unser looked at a small notebook in front of him, which was one of his habits. He often doesn't trust computers, so he writes down some of his key ideas in a notebook and checks them all the time.

As for this war against the Principality of Dawn, especially the garrison on the planet Eriadu that his fleet was defending, he conducted countless deductions and recorded the key points.

The total number of garrison troops on the planet Eriadu is about 600 warships, and the specific model and composition are unknown. But what is certain is that they include the battleship that the imperial military is most afraid of - the Ankeron-class Titan battleship, the Xuanwu!

The Xuanwu Titan Battleship has the ability to project an energy shield to the entire fleet. It can be said that as long as this Titan Battleship still exists, the Dawn Principality's fleet will be indestructible.

And in order to maintain the huge energy consumption of the Xuanwu, the Dawn Principality also deployed at least 20 Dunov-class battlecruisers to recharge the Xuanwu.

In addition, the opponent also has at least 100 Hells Angel-class battlecruisers. These battlecruisers have extremely thick armor and electrothermal armor that has a strong inhibitory effect on turbolaser cannons, making them difficult to destroy. And there are at least 50 disaster-class battlecruisers, and the existence of such battlecruisers means particle light spears!

The particle light spear is an energy weapon with a range that can even reach dozens of light-days. It is extremely powerful and is also the main threat to the Dawn Principality fleet.

In Michel Unser's notebook, he wrote a lot of strategies and tactics on how to fight against the Xuanwu, how to fight against the particle light spear, and how to fight against the Hell's Angels.

For example, using the Night Watch-class frigates and the Aquitens-class light cruisers to form a high-speed assault fleet to continuously interfere with the launch of the Catastrophe-class battlecruisers; for example, using tactics to lure the enemy deep into the enemy fleet, so that the opponent's fleet formation is constantly pulled, thereby breaking away from the Xuanwu. Support scope; for example, using the Executor-class super Star Destroyer as the core, divide and annihilate the opponent's fleet, ignore the Xuanwu, and instead concentrate firepower to destroy their warships one by one...

There are hundreds of densely written pages in his notebook, which shows that he has done a very thorough homework.

Although he was still a little uneasy, General Michel Unser believed that he was fully prepared. The glorious Executor-class super Star Destroyer, the glorious Empire-class Star Destroyer, are the source of all his self-confidence.

"General! Hyperspace fluctuations have been detected at the Marastal planet outpost!" the messenger shouted.

"General! Ennaco planet outpost detected hyperspace fluctuations!" Another message came over.

Admiral Michel Unser frowned, "Are you attacking from both sides? Humph!"

If the Dawn Principality's fleet sets off from the planet Eriadu to the planet Kira, the branch hyperspace channel in this star area is actually a ring. Circling to the west, it passes through the planet Malastar and Pax, to the planet Kira; while circling east, it passes through the planet Ennaco, past the planet Kalinda, and then to the planet Kira.

The planet Naboo, which became famous when the separatist crisis broke out 20 years ago and is also the hometown of the emperor, is not on this circular channel, but it is adjacent to the planet Ennaco, and the two places are very close to each other.

The Galactic Empire chose to set up a military base on the planet Kira in order to guard the end of this circular branch channel and monitor the safety of one of the largest hyperspace channels, the Hydia Channel.

"Stay still for now. No matter where the separatist fleet is planning to attack from, as long as they appear, they will never escape our surveillance!" Admiral Unser said in a deep voice.

"The hyperspace blocker near the planet Ennaco is under attack!"

"The planet Parks is also under attack! According to observations, all enemy ships are light cruisers!"

Admiral Unser said seriously: "Where is the Xuanwu's movement?"

"The Xuanwu still hasn't appeared." The officer from the radar department replied.

Admiral Unser thought for a while and said: "Send 20 Empire-class Star Destroyers to the planets Ennaco and Parkes respectively to drive away the separatist light cruisers. Don't be reluctant to fight. Once you find the opponent's main force, retreat immediately!"

"yes!"

Forty Imperial-class Star Destroyers quickly turned on their hyperspace engines and left the Kira Galaxy to reinforce several planets that were being harassed. But Admiral Unser's heart became more and more strange, because according to normal circumstances, starting from the planet Eriadu and jumping through hyperspace, it should have been blocked by the hyperspace blocker deployed on the periphery. !

Michel Unser was always very sure in his heart that although the Separatist fleet was very powerful, their movements were also very easy to judge - where the Basalt was, the main attack direction was there. Therefore, as long as they kept an eye on the Basalt, no matter how they pretended to attack or how they maneuvered, it would be useless.

A few hours later, the Imperial-class Star Destroyers soon sent news that they had exchanged fire with the Separatist light cruisers, but the other side had no intention of fighting head-on and quickly retreated.

Admiral Unser smiled coldly, "Humph, you are just being mysterious! Continue to strengthen monitoring! If the Basalt does not appear, we will not move!"

"Yes!"

And the opportunity he was waiting for soon came!

An hour later, Naboo sent an urgent telegram: the main fleet of the Separatist was discovered, and the enemy was gathering in the Naboo galaxy. The total number of main battleships was 400, and the Titan battleship Basalt was confirmed to be among them!

Bang! Admiral Michel-Unser punched down fiercely and said sternly: "Finally appeared? All troops attack! Block the separatist fleet on Naboo!"

His meaning was very clear. First of all, with the Executor-class super star destroyer, he was not afraid of a fleet decisive battle with the separatist fleet. And although there are two attack directions in the position controlled by Kira, as long as you keep an eye on the movement of the Basalt, you can determine the position of their main force!

The separatist fleet is in two completely different states with or without the Basalt!

Although the position of Naboo is awkward in the military's combat plan, they are still prepared to be unable to defend Naboo. But Michel-Unser is not willing to lose the emperor's hometown in his hands just after the first battle. He has full confidence to completely crush the separatist fleet with twice the force!

The dazzling white light keeps flashing, and the huge imperial fleet is dispatched!
