The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

934. Battle in the Western Territory: Super Line of Defense

[There is a problem with the data in the previous chapter. The length of the Doomsday Battlefield class is 1049 meters, so it has just entered the category of battlecruisers in the fourth civilization classification. 】

The situation on the planet Tibrin changed so quickly that the Intelligence Department of the Galactic Republic was a little at a loss, because in their judgment, no matter how good the planet Tibrin was, it would take at least 20 days to complete the change of the political situation.

But now, the day after the priestess killed Suribran-Tu, the dark disciple Sola Balk served as the acting governor of the planet Tibrin, and the other two dark Jedi Sol Skorr (Tol Skorr) and Kadrian Sey, as his deputy, stabilized the situation on the planet within three days.

The reason for this has a very deep relationship with Earl Dooku's long-term infiltration of the Tibring planet, and the deep abhorrence of the Ishi-Tibu people towards Sulibran-Tu.

However, the Galactic Republic does not intend to give up on the planet Tibrin, because with the fall of the planet Dora, it will directly threaten the planet Dora from the planet Tibrin, which will affect the plan of the Dawn star to attack the planet Eliadu directly from the planet Dora. Action has become an increasingly critical and realistic option.

On April 18, Jedi Master Roan Shryne (Roan Shryne) arrived on the planet Aiyatu 6, joined the 41st Storm Legion, and commanded the battle with Gree, the clone commander of the 41st Storm Legion.

Although Ron Schlien is only 39 years old, he is a very old Jedi Knight. He entered the Jedi Order at the age of 2 and has served the Force for 37 years.

Among the Jedi Knights, some people are called "The Old Guard". Influence, so generally speaking, when the Supreme Council of the Jedi Order selects replacement members, they tend to choose from among these people.

The Old Guard is not a formal organization or department, but a title. When a Jedi is often called the Old Guard by others, then he is.

Dooku, Qui-Gon Jinn, Mace Windu, Seve Dias and others have all been called the old guard, and Ron Schlien is one of them, but his reputation is not as good as Those few well-known famous masters.

However, before Ron Schlien and the 41st Storm Legion started their operations, the first to act was the Fourth Civilization!

Later on April 18th, Severance Tann led 60 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers to attack boldly and enter the Eliadu galaxy. However, she did not rush directly into the planet Eriadu, but stopped near the sixth planet in the outermost part of the galaxy—the planet Kelliadu.

The planet Koriadu is just a barren and icy planet, and there is nothing else on it except some automated mineral mining factories.

At the same time, Matt Horner also led 10 Cole-class battlecruisers and 10 Martha-class heavy cruisers into the Eliadu galaxy from another direction.

And what they are facing is the terrible defense of Planet Eliadu!

The planet Eliadu is located in the fourth orbit of the galaxy, and the fifth planet farther from the star is a gas giant planet, Tarastra.

The planet Tarastra has 7 satellites. Except for satellites 1 and 7, the other satellites 2 to 6 have relatively strong and stable structures. But now, these five satellites have all dug out space inside, added support structures, and transformed them into giant automated defense platforms with powerful firepower!

Although the automated defense platforms on these five satellites are only partially modified, the smallest one has a diameter of more than 400 kilometers! A reactor with a huge capacity is installed on it, a large amount of energy is stored, and thousands of heavy-duty turbolaser guns and tens of thousands of near-fire artillery systems are installed!

Moreover, a hangar platform with enough space was dug out on these satellites, enough to support the take-off and landing of thousands of fighter jets. However, these satellites are not suitable for life, so these hangar platforms are empty, and troops cannot be stationed inside, but they can be used as transfer stations and maintenance stations for fighter jets during battles.

The revolution rate of the planet Tarastra is slightly faster than that of the planet Eliadu. The orbital trajectories of the two planets show that within one revolution period, the planet Eriadu can be affected by at least one-third of the time. It is the cover of those defense facilities on the planet Tarastra.

Four days ago, Matt Horner launched 10 supermatter electromagnetic guns to the planet Eliadu, and the shells were intercepted on the planet Tarastra.

And around the planet Eliadu, there is also a satellite itself. Because the planet Eriadu has a developed economy and a population of 22 billion, this satellite has already formed a very huge industrial base in the course of hundreds of years of development, with a large number of factories, mining areas, power stations, and space ports all over it. , docks, and various large orbital defense systems, and even planetary shields!

In addition to such an indestructible natural defense system, the number of warships concentrated on the planet Eliadu has reached more than 700!

Although these warships are old and small, there are many outdated large battleships such as the Invincible-class battlecruiser, or small battleships such as the Corellian DP-20 frigate, and old and small warships such as the CR-70. warships, but the number is enough.

And the total number of fighter jets equipped on the planet has reached more than 60,000! Moreover, the factories on the planet are working at full capacity, and new fighter jets come off the production line every day and join the defenders.

Because of the lack of enough pilots, the governor of the 18th Army, Wilhof Tarkin, also issued a wide-ranging call-up order to the residents of this planet and those mercenaries, recruiting all people who can drive spaceships to join the battle to encircle the planet Eliadu in the middle of the battle.

On April 19th, Matt Horner's Fourth Civilization A Fleet and Severance Tann's Blade Fleet began to set up hyperspace blockers on the outskirts of the Eliadu galaxy, although it is impossible to cut off the outer space of the galaxy. Traffic, but it can cause a certain impact.

Afterwards, two fleets launched a tentative attack on the gas giant planet Tarastra.

60 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers, 10 Cole-class battlecruisers, and 10 Martha-class missile heavy cruisers bombarded one of the satellite bases indiscriminately. But the defense of the satellite base is very strong, and this bombardment destroyed more than 50 heavy turbolaser guns.

Wilhuff Tarkin ordered a quarter of the fleet to press forward, into the gravity of the planet Tarastra, to assist in the resistance.
