The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

2376, The Empire Strikes Back (II)

Return to Yago-Dur for support, or attack Fondo directly?

This is the choice question before Severance Tann. Yago-Dur is now unable to support itself. Facing a force five times its size, and the Executor Super Star Destroyer that is exchanging wounds like crazy, General Ling Liang has done his best, but he has also reached his limit.

One of the disadvantages of starting the war early is that there is only one Death Star cannon now. One Death Star cannon is not enough to threaten Fondo, so Darth Vader directly lost his temper and rushed out without Fondo.

Because Darth Vader can count on himself to capture Yago-Dur before Fondo falls in this situation.

The Galactic Empire lost Fondo, which was a serious injury, but the Kingdom of Dawn lost Yago-Dur, which was a direct result of the door being opened!

Apart from anything else, the Given people must be resentful for losing their homeland, and they can't defend the homeland of the Gran people, Jinyan Planet. In this way, two races with a population of over 10 billion people will become disloyal, which is a more fatal blow to the Kingdom of Dawn.

So what to do now?

"Tell Ling Liang that she must rely on her own strength to defend the planet Yago-Dur. And I will not give her any help." Severance Tann said coldly to the staff officer. She didn't even want to explain to General Ling in person, and immediately threw herself into the plan of attacking multiple planets.

...

On October 8, Darth Vader's fleet had controlled the outer orbit of the planet Yago-Dur and began orbital bombing of the planet.

Ling Liang led the First Combined Fleet. Now because of insufficient strength, he dared not engage in battle rashly. He could only adopt a long-range harassment posture, using the particle light spears of the Disaster-class battlecruiser to continuously shoot from a distance to harass the bombing operations of the Imperial Fleet and the landing operations that might come later.

Now her fleet is stationed in a space dock area about 1 AU away from the planet. This is where the Titan battleship was built on Yago-Dur.

At the beginning, in order to keep the construction of the Titan battleship secret, the construction site was not built on the planet's synchronous orbit, but chose to build an independent space facility away from the planet in a relatively gentle gravity location. In addition to the Titan battleship's dock, there are also large spaceports, supply stations, and even a space station that can accommodate 20,000 people!

Now, with the outer perimeter of Yago-Dur lost, the Titan dock has become Ling Liang's last stronghold. She can't leave here, otherwise, the isolated Yago-Dur planet will be completely captured!

A large number of engineering ships and supply ships are constantly coming from the rear to repair Ling Liang's warships on the spot, especially the Xuanwu Titan battleship, which must restore its combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

At the same time, Severance Tann led the strongest second task force and had circled around, threatening Fangduo Planet from another direction. The main reason for such strategic maneuvers is that the occupation of Kira has caused the Galactic Empire to lose control of the southern line of the Hydia Passage.

On October 9, Severance Tann captured Bestine under a fierce attack, and in the early morning of the next day, a large number of fleets entered the Fondo system!

At the same time, Darth Vader discovered something very embarrassing.

He couldn't capture Yago-Dur!

Although more than 200 Imperial-class Star Destroyers had bombed the planet for two full days, orbital cannons were still being fired from Yago-Dur to fight back.

Even though the surface of the planet had been blown up with lava all over the ground and flames soaring into the sky, it seemed to have no effect.

After a careful scan, Darth Vader discovered a very serious problem-the orbital defense cannons used by Yago-Dur to fight back were all built underground! All these orbital defense cannons were built under the rock layer more than 5,000 meters underground. Each time they were fired, only a very narrow range of fire could penetrate such a thick rock layer and fire out. But the Jiwen defenders didn't care. If they could hit the target, they would hit it. If they couldn't hit the target, they would join in the fun.

Because almost all the buildings and cities on the entire Yago-Dur planet were built underground!

The Yago-Dur galaxy is a three-body galaxy. The existence of three stars makes the gravitational environment of the galaxy unpredictable and extremely dangerous. In history, Yago-Dur planet has passed by hundreds of thousands of kilometers from the stars at an ultra-close distance!

So now the surface of Yago-Dur planet is all reflective and extremely hard obsidian rock layers. In addition, the Jiwen people have been constantly reinforcing this planet for tens of thousands of years. From the inside out, countless supports have been added, and countless extremely hard reinforcement structures have been driven into the rock layer. They built their own cities several kilometers deep underground, and the support structures of these cities are all extremely strong!

Even at the bottom of their city, they have built hundreds of huge artificial gravity systems to ensure that the city can still operate normally even if the planet loses its rotation.

It can be said that the entire Yago-Dur planet is a super fortress that has been built over tens of thousands of years! And such a fortress-like structure, in turn, ensures that the planet can remain intact in the extreme astronomical phenomena of the Three-Body System.

For example, in the last battle of Yago-Dur, the planet was thrown out by the gravity of the star, flying around in the galaxy like a pinball. If it were any other planet, it would have disintegrated long ago!

But Yago-Dur is still strong. Just like they are now facing the bombing of hundreds of Star Destroyers, they are still standing!

Darth Vader stood on the bridge of the Executor, staring at the Yago-Dur planet from afar, which was on fire but actually intact. The cold mask covered his entire expression, and only the heavy breathing sound from the respirator was still so chilling.

I don’t know if he is cursing the incompetence of the Galactic Republic in his heart now, why did he force such a tenacious race like the Givens to the side of the Separatists, and then gave them a super fortress that is almost impossible to be conquered! !

Since the Galactic Republic’s repeated attacks on Yago-Dur during the Clone Wars until now, countless warships and countless soldiers have died here. And now, even though he has defeated the defending fleet, he can only sigh in despair when facing the planet itself.

"Continue to siege the planet and be alert to the separatist fleet. Send out the Cheerleader-class assault landing ship to launch a landing operation on the planet Yago-Dur!" Darth Vader said coldly: "No matter how much it costs, the planet Yago-Dur must be captured!!"
