The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

677, The Fall of the 19th Army (Part 2)

For the residents of Planet Haven, this is destined to be a sleepless night.

Violent flashes of light continued to flash in the sky, as if the sun could not be seen directly, almost illuminating the entire sky. Accompanying it is a light blue light curtain, which is the planetary shield blocking the light of the nuclear bomb bombardment.

From time to time, fighter jets and spaceships can be seen flying up to meet them, but none of them can come back.

The cannons of the orbital defense system are also constantly bombarding the sky, but people don't know whether such attacks are effective. At least, the bombing from space has never stopped.

After the global radio station broadcast the news for less than 10 minutes, the signal was suddenly interrupted. People living nearby saw a large number of military police quickly surrounded the place, but the commanders of these military police were sniped and killed by mysterious people. After falling into chaos, they were greeted by a violent explosion.

The highest-level prisons in several cities on the planet Haven were captured one after another. Someone killed all the guards and opened the gates in a short time. As the headquarters of the 19th Army, many vicious and serious criminals were imprisoned in it, and these people fled one after another.

What is even more deadly is that many of these serious criminals are from Mugari! Moreover, many of them are political prisoners!

Hundreds of years ago, the Mugari people stood up against the rule of the Galactic Republic, but they were quickly suppressed, which is why a large number of Mugari people left their homes.

Even after a large influx of humans brought huge amounts of capital, the planet developed rapidly, and its political environment continued to move closer to that of the Republic, eventually becoming one of the most stable planets under the Galactic Republic's rule in the outer ring star region, but still There is no way to hide the hostility of many Mugari towards the Galactic Republic.

Among the total population of 1.5 billion on Planet Haven, the Mugari accounted for one-third, 500 million people!

If it was before, when the rule of the Republic was very stable, these Mugaris had no idea, then now, the 19th Army of the Republic is in danger of being defeated, and those extremists who were imprisoned have been released again. The result can be imagined!

...

At the same time, 20 warships that looked like buckets appeared in front of the 19th Army defense line on Planet Karl.

These battleships are 310 meters long, and the whole looks like a stubby bucket, and from the appearance, they are not armed except for the 6 near-fire cannons that provide basic protection capabilities.

These battleships stopped very far away from the defense line of Karl's planet, and then four huge launch ports were opened on the battleships. With a violent antimatter energy fluctuation, four huge missiles were launched directly!

This is really a huge missile, 50 meters long and 6 meters in diameter. The missile itself is even bigger than most frigates!

After a while, the warships fired missiles again.

This is the fourth civilization's offensive weapon - the Ogrov Torpedo Cruiser (Ogrov Torpedo Cruiser)! It is a special battleship used by the Urgent Traders Alliance to attack solid interstellar bases in "Original Sins of a Solar Empire". The battleship is 310 meters long and has a crew of 150 people. It is equipped with 6 near-fire cannons and 4 large missile launchers, and has 50 rounds of ammunition.

The missile launched by the Ogre-class torpedo cruiser is an extremely enlarged version of the proton torpedo, developed by the diligent Vathian. There is no technical content, but it is very powerful. A shield generator, some induction bombs, an anti-jamming system, and even guidance are not installed.

This makes this giant proton torpedo named "Big Ivan" by Tang Xiao himself completely incapable of attacking warships, but it is used to attack interstellar bases, armed space stations, death stars, and midpoint stations. The fixed target is very effective.

With a length of 50 meters and a diameter of 6 meters, it is filled with proton warheads, and the power of the explosion is simply insane!

The Vathian people seem to be particularly talented in this kind of silly, dark and thick things, as is the case with the Agonev-class interstellar base, and the same is true for this giant proton torpedo, which makes Tang Xiao always feel that they actually have the old-fashioned traditional art can.

After the first wave of Big Ivan's super proton torpedoes were launched, Matt Horner immediately led the fleet to rush to the defenders of Karl's defense line. His goal was to prevent these defenders from intercepting Big Ivan.

But now there are only 10 hunter-class battlecruisers and about 100 small warships left in the defenders of Karl Planet. The number of fighter jets is less than 5,000, and most of them are piloted by recruits. They are completely unable to deal with Matt Howard. Accept the attack of the mighty A-Fleet under his command.

After a salvo of missiles from the Martha-class heavy missile cruiser, a large group of ghost fighters pounced on them and attacked all the Republic fighters who wanted to intercept Ivan the Great. There is no room for more artillery fire to intercept super proton torpedoes.

Following a flash of light blue light, the first big Ivan super proton torpedo hit one of the armed space stations, and the terrifying proton cloud collapsed, generating extremely powerful energy. Then came the second, and the third!

The shield of the armed space station was quickly defeated, and then the body of the space station could not support it for too long.

In a violent explosion, the first space station exploded and disintegrated.

On the afternoon of August 18th, Galactic Standard Time, Matt Horner led Fourth Civilization A Fleet through the ruined defense line of Karl planet. When the defense line collapsed, Karl planet had already announced its surrender.

At 19:12 on the evening of August 18, 50 warships of Fleet A broke away from the hyperspace channel and appeared in the outer orbit of Harvin, where they joined General Severance Tann's raid fleet.

At 21:27, Fleet A began orbital bombing of the planetary shield on Harvin.

At 22:45, Planet Havin announced its surrender.

Admiral Matt Horner and Severance Tann took a shuttle and landed in the sector capital of the planet Haven, receiving control of the planet and the head of the former governor Suramar.

The 19th Army of the Galactic Republic, code-named Dark Saber, was established on May 23 and was destroyed when the Fourth Civilization captured the capital on August 18. It only existed for less than 3 months.

The next day, the Mugari people on the planet Haven announced the establishment of an independent government and became a member of the Fourth Civilization, publicly declaring to join the Confederation of Independent Galaxies.

Even if this had been expected, the demise of the 19th Army made the Galactic Republic very nervous. The Supreme Strategic Command searched and raised a group of fleets, including the Inquisitor-class warships and the Invincible-class warships, which are some old warships. Go to the planet Eliadu and give it to the 18th Army to resist the soldiers of the Dawn Star.

And when these fleets arrived, in the governor's capital located in the capital of the 18th Army Star Region on the planet Eliadu, a middle-aged man with a high hairline, thin cheeks, and sharp eyes, who looked like an eagle, was carrying hands, looking out the window at the dark night sky.

"I will give you all support, only one goal - to destroy the Dawn planet! I don't want to leave anyone alive." Darth Sidious's distorted voice came from the holographic projection behind him, "You are on my side Greatest general, I'm sure you can do...Wilhuff Tarkin."
