2491. Fresh attempt
The Imperial fleet brought by Admiral Afhin Makati finally arrived on the planet Tarasia at the most chaotic time of the battlefield, completely turning everything around.
First of all, a large number of TIE Interceptor fighters quickly defeated and broke up the fighter formations of the Dawn Kingdom, which reduced the pressure on the Imperial army that was struggling to persevere within the Death Star. Even with the firepower support of TIE Interceptor fighters, they could even launch a counterattack!
Now the inside of the Death Star has been blown up by the warships of the Dawn Kingdom. Although it was not able to hurt the root cause, it was also severely damaged, and the Geonos who revolted also suffered tragic casualties.
Under multiple blows and interference, the work of the Geonos rushing to install the hyperspace engine has become increasingly difficult.
In the southern hemisphere position of the huge spherical structure of the Death Star Central Energy Core, countless Geonoscian workers are wearing special single-engineering exoskeletons, and are constantly welding parts and installing equipment. Now the basic structure of the hyperspace engine has been installed, but the internal equipment still needs a lot of time.
But time is gradually passing.
boom! boom! boom! ! The explosions were heard everywhere. At the beginning, the bombing of the Death Star by the Kingdom of Dawn was not distinguished from our enemies. Although the southern hemisphere, which is the core of the energy, was basically protected under the outer armor and was not bombarded, the explosions in other places still affected the place.
Geonosis workers were constantly shocked by the explosion, but more workers were unafraid of pushing them up. They were working hard to complete the hyperspace engine at this last time.
The only good news for them now is that the warships of the Galaxy Empire dare not fire directly at the Death Star. On the contrary, the Dawn Kingdom fleet, which has been bombing the Death Star indiscriminately, has now been beaten by the Imperial fleet, and the remaining warships cannot cause too much damage now.
...
At the same time, on the ground of the planet Tarasia, the situation has become extremely bad!
Previously, two Aquitens class light cruisers hovered over the Geonos' nests and continued to bombard, but no matter what, their main purpose was to cooperate with the beheading of Emperor Karina by Orson-Krennik and Prophet Dara, and to block the Geonos' reinforcements who arrived.
But now, the situation has changed!
On the bridge of the Imperial Support Fleet's flagship, the Imperial-class Star Destroyer, the staff officer is reporting the battle situation to Imperial Admiral Afhin Makati.
"General, we detected a large number of Geonos are concentrating towards a small mountain range on the surface of the planet. At present, a rough scan has shown that their number has reached more than 1 million. Even the Geonos who had occupied the ground shield generator and spaceport before were flying towards the mountain range." The staff officer clicked a projection screen on the holographic star map and said.
"Is there any statement in Krennik?" Afhin Makati asked coldly.
"They said they were preparing to arrest the Queen of the Geonos, Karina the Great. He believed that as long as she was caught, the rebellion of the Geonos would be quelled immediately," said the staff officer.
"Hahahahaha!" Afhin Makati burst out laughing as if he heard some joke. "It will be calmed down immediately? Just him? Hahahaha! What I see now is that the DS-1 combat space station project he is responsible for is blown up, almost all the laborers are in riots, and almost all the robots have lost control! And where is the army he deliberately seized from Governor Takin? He is fighting each other in vain."
"That's true. Facts have proved that Krennik does not have the ability to control the situation at all. Faced with such a large-scale rebellion, his response was to dig into the cave and waste time with the insects." said the staff officer.
"Let me know, Colonel Rotty." Afhin Makati suddenly turned his head and looked at the staff officer, his eyes becoming extremely cold. "The Empire has never tolerated the traitors. The Geonos have betrayed them, and they have only once again proved that these non-human races are uncontrollable and untrustworthy. Therefore, the Empire will not give them any chance."
"Yes, your judgment is extremely correct, General." Colonel Rotty, the staff officer, nodded in agreement. "The Geonosians not only betrayed the Empire, but also caused very serious damage to the construction of the DS-1 combat space station. They were the core race of separatism before. The reason why His Majesty the Emperor decided to go out and avoid the fate of extermination was to let them build the DS-1 combat space station project. Now... they even gave up this last chance."
Admiral Afhin Makati waved his hand and said, "So since that's the case, there is no need for mercy. Directly bomb all targets on the ground! The electric power will enable all ships to fire without controlling their firepower!"
"General, there are Orson Krennik and others on the ground..." the staff officer asked with a frown.
"It is the greatest kindness that I have committed such a serious crime, and that I have let them die on the battlefield rather than being arrested and returned to the Imperial Center for trial," Afhin Makati said coldly.
The staff officer Colonel Rotty showed a knowing smile on his lips. He stood attentively and said loudly, "Abide by the order! General Makati!"
In fact, even within the Galactic Empire military, there are many different factions. Typical examples are technical officers. Most of them are civil servants and gradually gained power in the war because of the arms race with the Kingdom of Dawn. Because the Galaxy Empire was beaten by advanced warships of the Dawn Kingdom many times during the war, the Galaxy Empire also greatly increased its investment in scientific research and also made the status of these technical officers rise.
Moreover, many technical officers were actually members of some technology companies and military-industrial complexes before, and were later joined the army. The representative of it is Allman Tagg. After he founded the cutting-edge technology alliance, because this alliance was classified as the military, Allman Tagg became a military personnel.
The same is true for Orson Krennik, who grew up gradually from the Galactic Republic Corps and then joined the Special Weapons Group in the Republic's Strategic Consulting Room. The entire military career has nothing to do with the front-line battlefield, so naturally the technical officers who are most despised by those front-line officers.
The traditional military officer class is those who graduated from military academy and are serious. And there is a difference in this officer rank, that is, the difference between officers from noble families and those lower-level officers who work from the lower-level soldiers.
Currently, the officer class of aristocrats in the Galactic Empire military is the ones who dominate the military. The representatives of these are naturally Dunn Wessex, the King of the North, and Wilhive Tarkin. They all graduated from the Military Academy, combined with their strong family background, and then quickly rose into the army and became an important and powerful faction of the military.
Admiral Afhin Makati also came from this noble officer class, so he actually had a good relationship with Wilhive Takin and belonged to the same faction. Moreover, since the empire invested a large amount of funds and power in the technical officers to develop cutting-edge weapons, the traditional officers received much less resources, so the contradiction between the two factions is very sharp. Then there are the dark believers headed by the magistrate and the dark prophet. They are all Force sensitive people, who are transcendent and independent of the ordinary military and administrative systems with the support of the Imperial Emperor Palpatine and become a system independently. And in recent years, dark believers have begun to participate more and more in political and military affairs.
Such behavior also made the traditional military officers feel a huge threat, so they are also rude to these dark believers, and try their best to squeeze out the army.
But these dark believers were supported by the Imperial Emperor. Darth Sidious wanted to establish a theocracy system, so these dark believers were so unscrupulous.
These dark believers, led by Darth Vader, the Emperor's Advisor Black Hole, and the Dark Prophet Kadang, exerted their influence in the military, intelligence and bureaucratic departments respectively.
At the same time, due to the unique attributes of the dark believers, they are closer to those unpopular lower-class officers. Especially Darth Vader, his childhood was originally in Tatooine and had a lot of contact with the lower-class people, so he has always promoted a large number of lower-class officers to the top, so he has a great influence in the army. This influence mainly comes from the lower-level officers.
Speaking of which, back to the current situation on the planet Tarasia, for the traditional aristocratic officer class, General Afhin Makati, the prophet Dara and Orson Krennik who are now trying to behead Karina the Great, one is a dark believer who wants to seize power, and the other is a nerd who doesn't know anything about it. Naturally, he will not show mercy.
"Don't worry about so much, just fire! Suppressing the rebellion is the top priority." Admiral Makati emphasized the order again.
"There are no friendly units on the planet Tarasia. Each ship opens fire with all its might to eliminate all the imperial traitors!!" Colonel Rotty, the staff officer, said loudly during the communication.
...
boom! boom! boom! ! !
Countless dazzling beams of light fell from the sky, and each beam brought a terrifying explosion that ruined the world! Flames and shock waves spread rapidly, and within this thousands of kilometers, there were explosions of flames everywhere!
The orbital bombing of the Imperial-class star destroyer is devastating.
Even the two Aquitense-class light cruisers sent to reinforce by Orson Krennik were affected by orbital bombing. The two warships encountered sudden attacks and immediately became panicked. The warship captain immediately concentrated all his energy into the partial guide shield above and kept calling the command center to stop the attack.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
But the orbital bombing still did not stop...
boom! boom! boom! ! !
The violent orbital bombardment brought violent shocks, as if a magnitude 8 earthquake with no end, and the ground could not even stand!
Those Geonos who rushed over to reinforce their queen could not even be considered targets in such a destructive orbital bombardment! Faced with orbital bombing, their bodies were instantly evaporated and vaporized like dust. In just ten minutes after the orbital bombing began, hundreds of thousands of Geonos died in the endless sea of fire!
And unlike the two Aquitense-class light cruisers that entered at least the interior of the atmosphere, these Geonos cannot even see the Imperial-class star destroyers that bombed in the outer orbit of the planet! They can only see the falling turbo laser cannons and the destructive explosion...
boom! boom! boom! ! !
Emperor Karina fled in panic under the protection of her last guard. She wanted to leave here quickly and take a shuttle to Death Star, and then quickly leave here after completing the installation of Death Star's hyperspace engine.
However, when Ganzo Doso took her out of the escape passage, all she saw was the flames in the sky and the wreckage on the ground.
The cargo spacecraft that had arrived here under the protection of more than ten TIE fighters that had been snatched from the past has been destroyed...
In the sky, the devastating beam is still falling. And in the nest, the furious Orson Krennik was leading the Death Guard to chase him.
Before General Makati's reinforcements arrived, it seemed that the situation was still improving. The inside of the Death Star has been captured, and the shield projector on the planet Tarasia has also been destroyed. Just install the hyperspace engine and it will be successful.
The millions of Geonos and hundreds of thousands of engineering robots that occupied the Death Star are just unshakable existences!
But now, less than an hour after the arrival of the Imperial reinforcements, the situation was completely desperate...
The retreat was cut off, and there were pursuers later, so she had no chance of escaping.
"The Galaxy Empire is going crazy! They want to kill us all! No! No!" Emperor Karina shouted, "Kill us, who will build DS-1!! Are they crazy? Without DS-1, what will they use to deal with the Kingdom of Dawn!!"
Ganzo Doso said in a deep voice: "We walked the road ourselves. We can't count on anyone! Whether it is the Kingdom of Dawn, the Rebels, or the Galactic Empire... In their eyes, we are always Geonos, a race that is not trusted."
"Those... bastards! bastards!!" Emperor Karina was still scolding.
However, at this moment, a sudden twist of air came from mid-air, and then a transport plane that looked like a golden beetle suddenly appeared here. At the same time, Ganzo Doso's communicator also rang, "Go away! Bring your queen up! Now this spacecraft can only be used on the entire planet!"
"It's the spaceship of the Dawn Kingdom... What kind of technology is this? Can their spaceship appear here?" Ganzo Doso was stunned. Then he quickly turned around and shouted to Emperor Karina: "Go on the spaceship! No matter what, let's live first!!"
However, the Geonos guards who were carrying the body of Emperor Karina fell down one after another.
Only Emperor Karina said coldly, "No." (This chapter ends)
