The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

2325. Occupy the planet Kira

The "Ant Colony" project can be said to have filled the last shortcoming of Operation Zero. Using these controllable B.O.W to carry out destructive work is far less concealed and causes fewer casualties than orbital bombing. For example, for the planet Kira this time, a total of 800,000 "Ant Colony" larvae were deployed, of which about 400,000 found hosts, and most of the rest died halfway.

Then these 400,000 hosts plus the killings caused by mutations will not exceed 5 or 6 million in total, and they are also very scattered. Compared with the situation where an orbital bombing destroys a city and another continent, it is not easy to attract attention in any aspect.

The most important thing is that its help in landing on a planet is actually no less than indiscriminate orbital bombing. Often more than a dozen monsters can paralyze a military base.

Therefore, the most critical part of this project is the controllable spread. After the mutated monsters kill people, they will not spread the virus. After the battle, Umbrella Pharmaceuticals will directly send special personnel to recover it.

But there are hidden dangers in both the recovery work and the links of ensuring that the virus will not spread or mutate. After all, according to the original plan, there will be at least one or two years before the war breaks out, and there is still plenty of time for improvement.

And from Alexia's perspective, she believes that the "ant colony" can do more. This biological weapon can even change the environment of a planet forever! And just use it to create chaos? This is a complete waste of natural resources!

So her pursuit of the continuous evolution and improvement of the "ant colony" has never stopped.

This is why Umbrella Pharmaceuticals invested a lot of power to hunt down the escaped zero adapter on the planet Chalsedon, the little girl from the Ceria named Anna. But in the end, it was ruined by the secret actions of the rebels.

After that, although the "Ant Colony" project was successfully completed under the genius of Alexia Ashford, it was still one step away from the perfection in Alexia's mind.

Therefore, Alexia wanted to get more test samples through actual combat data, trying to find a second adapter, or find another way to solve the defects of the "Ant Colony".

But for Ling Liang, she only needed an "Ant Colony" that could cause chaos. As a very traditional soldier, she believed that the army would still have to solve all this in the end.

At this moment, the army on the planet Kira has indeed reached the last moment to solve the problem.

The deployment was completely disrupted by 400,000 T-Veronica mutant monsters scattered all over the planet, and then under the targeted attack of the GA-TL1 Long Sword Aerial Fortress, the orbital defense system of the planet Kira quickly collapsed. All 40 sets of V-150 Planet Defender orbital cannons were destroyed, and countless other air defense positions were also destroyed.

Without the cover of the ground air defense system, the air supremacy on the surface of Kira was quickly firmly grasped by the fleet of the Principality of Dawn. After three consecutive days of bombing, most of the ground forces of Kira were cut off from each other and became isolated troops.

Then, the ground forces of the Principality of Dawn first assembled an armored cluster of 200 Scorpio tanks to quickly tear apart the front line of the capital area, opening a gap of more than 70 kilometers. Then, with 5,000 Injori Avengers 103 as the pioneer, they directly entered the city to engage in street fighting.

Moreover, the mutant creatures mutated by the "ant colony" also began to move towards the capital area under the guidance of Umbrella technicians. Faced with these monsters transformed by biotechnology, the defenders of Kira planet, who were ready to deal a heavy blow to the Principality of Dawn in street fighting, quickly collapsed.

Less than three days after the Principality of Dawn Army began to launch an attack, the capital area of ​​the planet was completely captured!

On August 11, the entire Kira planet surrendered!

After this battle, the Principality of Dawn completely captured the heavily guarded fortress planet of the Galactic Empire, Kira, in just 5 days starting on August 6!

In this battle, the Galactic Empire fleet was completely wiped out, with a total of 982 kilometer-class battleships sunk, severely damaged, or surrendered, half of which were expensive Imperial-class Star Destroyers, and even included an Executor-class Super Star Destroyer, a Commander II-class Dreadnought, and three Commander-class Dreadnoughts.

2,487 small and medium-sized warships of the light cruiser class were lost, and more than 17,000 combat aircraft such as TIE fighters, V-wing Alpha Holy Light fighters, and ARC-170 heavy multi-purpose fighters were lost.

1.72 million naval officers and soldiers died, and more than 20,000 were injured or captured. The army suffered more than 900,000 casualties and more than 7 million were captured.

The Dawn Principality Navy lost more than 140 battleships, most of which were Victory II-class Star Destroyers, while 29 Hell Angel-class battlecruisers were sunk, and 3 of the Revelation-class battleships were severely damaged. Others, including the most powerful battleships such as the Anchoron-class Titan battleship and the Revelation-class battleship, were generally only damaged and did not affect their combat effectiveness. The Archon-class aircraft carrier was completely unscathed!

As for the army, 800,000 "ant colonies" are disposable items. After the surrender of the Kira planet, they were all recycled and then crushed into biomass to produce other B.O.W. More than 12,000 Injori Avengers 103 were killed in total, more than 3,000.

And the regular ground forces suffered about 20,000 casualties.

It can be said that with such a small loss, a fortress planet was almost completely occupied! This is simply a miracle!

On the Kira planet occupied by the Dawn planet, 70% of the industrial facilities and almost all the agricultural facilities on the surface were preserved and not destroyed. In addition to the landing point and the capital area being severely damaged by the war, other cities were also almost undamaged.

The only huge loss was that the planet's orbital defense system was completely destroyed, the planetary shield was completely destroyed, and the armed space stations and spaceports outside the planet were all destroyed.

However, with a large number of factories on the planet, it is not difficult to rebuild these facilities.

Now, a large number of Raz-class heavy engineering ships are ready to go in the rear of the Principality of Dawn. These 800-meter-long giant engineering ships have begun to transport parts of the large spaceport. It is expected that a large spaceport that can accommodate 200 battleships will be assembled within a week.

More spaceports are also being transported, manufactured and assembled.

In a month at most, the planet Kira can be fully operational and become the most critical forward base for the fleet of the Principality of Dawn!

Due to the occupation of the planet Kira, the Galactic Empire's control over the Hydia Channel is almost open, and the capital of the 16th Army, the planet Chardaan located in the inner ring, will be directly threatened!
