The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

2395. The bankruptcy of Operation Zero (Part 2)

If it is up to this point, the Kingdom of Dawn’s war against the Galactic Empire is undoubtedly very successful.

From the start of the war in August 11 BBY to the end of January 10 BBY, more than three months have passed. First, the entire main fleet of the Empire was defeated in the battle of Kira, then the main force of the northern border of the Empire was severely damaged in the battle of the Mararian Alliance, and then the battle with the Empire on Fangduo was a home exchange. Now it seems that Fangduo can only last for a month at most.

Then the Commercial Combined Fleet defeated Vice Admiral Kendall Ozier on the planet Bilbrin and began to attack the planet Bilbrin directly. Darth Vader did not gain any advantage in the encounter with Severance Tann.

In the eyes of many people, this situation is the result of the impending collapse of the Galactic Empire!

However, the Galactic Empire inherited the foundation of the Galactic Republic for 25,000 years. How could it collapse within three months?

The pace of the Kingdom of Dawn was finally blocked.

Although Operation Zero was perfectly planned, it started at the wrong time, which made the Kingdom of Dawn fight hastily and the Galactic Empire in chaos. As a result, Severance Tann forced the plan to destroy the main fleet of the Empire in the southern border on the planet Kira, and immediately made a big circle across the Milky Way to attack the 12th Army of the Galactic Empire in the eastern border.

Such a radical strategy that was not careful about the end naturally gave Darth Vader the opportunity to rush over and completely disrupt the deployment of the Kingdom of Dawn.

So, after a chaotic battle between the two sides, the Galactic Empire once again supported itself with its rotten and huge body.

In addition to Darth Vader's blasting of the planet Yago-Dur, a person who made the Galactic Empire, a building with a magnificent appearance but a rotten interior, once again survived, appeared.

Ironically, he was not the human that the Galactic Empire had always admired.

He was a Chiss, a genius abandoned by the Chiss Territory.

Mis-Ro-Nurudo...

Thrawn!

…

On January 30, 10 BBY, Lieutenant General Kendall Ozier, who commanded and guarded the Galactic Empire's northern defense line, was dismissed because of a disastrous defeat.

The governor of the Galactic Empire's Ninth Army, Dunn Wessex, urgently recruited Vice Admiral Thrawn to go to the planet of Bilbrin to block the attack of the Dawn Kingdom's northern fleet, the Commercial Union Fleet.

When Lieutenant General Thrawn arrived on the planet of Bilbrin, he took over a mess.

After withdrawing a large number of warships from the surrounding areas, the Imperial Fleet stationed on the planet of Bilbrin still had 400 battleships and more than 3,000 small and medium-sized warships. Looking at this number, it can be said that the strength is still there. But if you look closely, it is really eye-catching.

Many warships in this fleet have experienced the Battle of the Mararian Alliance and the last Battle of the Planet of Bilbrin. The warships that survived these two defeats are basically in ruins. Not only the warships, but also the officers at all levels of the Imperial Navy are also demoralized and unable to fight.

Before being taken away by the Inquisition, Admiral Gilad Pellaeon gave the garrison a rotation order. He ordered the warships that were damaged but did not need to be returned to the dock for overhaul to be dispersed to other planets on the northern defense line for on-site repair. Then the same number of intact warships were drawn back from these planets.

In this way, on the one hand, the northern defense line would not collapse due to the withdrawal of a large number of warships, and on the other hand, the fleet strength in the direction of the planet Bilbrin could be maintained as much as possible - after all, the main attack direction of the commercial joint fleet was already very clear.

In the more than one month that Vice Admiral Thrawn served as the commander of the northern defense line, on the one hand, he continued to resist the scattered harassment of the Geth, and on the other hand, he also cooperated well to implement the deployment left by Gilad Pellaeon.

Vice Admiral Kendall Ozir, who served as the commander of the planet Bilbrin, made the only correct decision, which was to continue Gilad Pellaeon's order and continuously rotate the damaged warships and replace them with new ones, which restored some combat capabilities of the fleet of the planet Bilbrin.

But all this was reversed when he led his army to attack in a fit of rage, and was hit head-on by Admiral Mal-Tuk, the commander of the Commercial Union Fleet, who smashed his head and bled and completely destroyed him.

The remaining fleet of the planet Bilbrin returned to its dilapidated state again.

And unlike the last time, Admiral Mal-Tuk will not give the Imperial Fleet more than a month to slowly rotate warships.

After replenishment, the number of warships of the Dawn Kingdom Commercial Union Fleet has basically recovered to about 80% of the level before the outbreak of the Mararian Alliance Campaign.

A total of 170 battleships, 440 heavy cruisers, and more than 3,600 small and medium-sized warships. And what is very fatal is that most of the warships in the Commercial Union Fleet have extremely excellent performance. In the Imperial Fleet, only the Imperial-class Star Destroyer can match it. The 900-meter-long Victory II-class Star Destroyer has almost become a fire support ship.

It is ironic to let a 1,600-meter-long Imperial-class Star Destroyer compete with an 800-meter-long heavy cruiser.

"General Thrawn, this is a summary of our fleet. Please take a look." Vice Admiral Thrawn's current adjutant, Voss Parck, came over with the information.

Voss-Park is a minor noble from the planet Krurag. According to his family's plan, he was admitted to the Imperial Naval Academy and became a naval officer. During the Clone Wars, Voss-Park served on a Hunter-class battlecruiser with the rank of captain, and fought against the Geth for a long time in the Northern Theater.

After the end of the Clone Wars, Voss-Park was promoted to lieutenant colonel in the navy and served in the Chimera Imperial-class Star Destroyer as a staff officer.

It was also here that he met Thrawn and was deeply impressed by Thrawn's outstanding command art. From then on, he has been following Thrawn. And this time, when Thrawn served as the commander of the Northern Defense Line, he promoted Voss-Park to colonel and kept him by his side as an adjutant.

Vice Admiral Thrawn also gave full trust to this down-to-earth and reliable young soldier.

However, after Thrawn took the fleet information, he just glanced at it and threw it aside. He said slowly: "I need all the information about Mal-Tuk, as well as the information about the Neimoidians and the Trade Federation."

"It's ready, General." Voss-Parker immediately took out a new memory, "I'm sorry, General, I just thought you might want to know the current situation of this fleet first."

"You can collect and understand this for me." Thrawn patted his shoulder. (End of this chapter)
