860, Doomsday and Tranquility
21BBY, January 32, La La is being towed to Parment Port for repairs The Gnarov-class Titan battleship, the once-famous Plague, was suddenly attacked by a Jedi team when passing by the planet Sorkan.
The heroic Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and his master Obi-Wan Kenobi, as well as the Jedi apprentice Ahsoka Tano who followed them, led the elite clone army. The 501st Legion launched a surprise attack with only two Jaeger-class battlecruisers.
The Confederate Fleet of Independent Systems escorting the Plague has 1 Divination-class destroyer, 8 Generosity-class frigates, and 2 Defiant-class light destroyers, but such a superior force still cannot stop the Jedi Knight's attack.
Anakin Skywalker and others flew fighter jets to directly disperse the fighter group of the Confederation of Independent Systems. In this battle, the Confederation of Independent Systems' latest triple robot fighter made its debut. Although it was unable to save the defeat in the end, it was still shot down. Obi-Wan Kenobi's fighter.
But Obi-Wan Kenobi was also lucky. Before losing control, his fighter crashed directly into the hangar platform of the Plague. The hangar platform of the Plague was blown up before, and was later repaired and barely usable. It was mainly used for the take-off and landing of engineering spacecraft and SCVs, so there was no protective measure at all.
So Obi-Wan fought his way into the Plague, once again paralyzed the battleship's command center, and captured the commander of the Confederate fleet, the Quarren general Weathers Andu.
This Quarren general who wanted to have a good time on the Titan battleship was so confused that he became a prisoner. In fact, if he stayed on the Shenyi-class destroyer, he would not have done it at all. This happens.
In the end, Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano also risked their lives to fight inside the Plague. After taking control of the control center, they locked the rudder of the battleship, and then let the Plague's horsepower It hit the Sorgan planet at full speed.
After that, the three masters and apprentices crowded into a Delta-7 fighter jet, squeezing the narrow cockpit to the limit. Anakin freed his right foot, and Obi-Wan stretched out his left hand to control the fighter together. It was dangerous and dangerous. They escaped from the Plague before being captured by the planet's gravity. After they came out, the shape of the cockpit was the same as theirs.
For several days, the tentacles on little Ahsoka's head were flattened into an oval shape - this is the shape of a fighter jet canopy, and it took at least a week to recover.
With a terrifying impact and explosion, the Titan battleship Plague crashed on the planet Sorgan.
The impact of this supership even caused violent crustal movement on the planet, triggering a sustained earthquake of magnitude 10 or above, and forming a new mountain of more than 4,000 meters high at the edge of the plate.
Fortunately, there are no permanent residents on the Sorgan planet, only a few robot outposts of the Federation of Independent Systems. Otherwise, this impact will definitely cause a catastrophe to life.
...
The Titan battleship Plague was attacked and destroyed, causing a great impact within the Confederation of Independent Systems.
The Plague, which had been promoted as a heroic battleship and an invincible battleship, was actually attacked on the territory of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The people and parliamentarians were very dissatisfied with this.
Demonstrations broke out on hundreds of planets, and people took to the streets, questioning how the war funds they had tightened their belts to contribute were used, and why such a humiliating failure occurred.
Members of many planets also expressed their concerns directly to Count Dooku, the supreme leader of the Confederacy, in the parliament. They believed that the destruction of the Plague was a very bad omen, because it showed that even if After a series of previous failures, the Galactic Republic still retains the ability to launch attacks anywhere in the Outer Rim Sector. These congressmen also expressed concerns about the course of the war, and several planets even began to hold referendums to discuss the possibility of withdrawing from the Confederation of Independent Systems, withdrawing from the war, and declaring neutrality.
Count Dooku had to forcibly suppress these opposing voices. On some planets where the disputes over neutrality were more serious, several leaders of political factions suddenly died of illness or shot themselves in the back of the head. This This farce calmed down a lot.
Francis Underwood, Prime Minister of Dawn Planet, personally went to the sub-planet of Lasax and then visited Count Dooku's office. According to a security guard at the door, they heard Francis's roar before the office door was completely closed.
"Doku!! You give us back our Titan battleship!!!"
Count Dooku could only promise repeatedly in the council that the next offensive against the Central Ring of the Galaxy will definitely be A series of great victories that will erase the pain caused by the destruction of the Plague.
At the same time, he also commissioned a Trandoshan garbage salvage team to go to the planet Sorgan to recover the wreckage of the Plague, and used these wreckage as materials to build a building in front of the Parliament Square of the subplanet Lasax. Monument to the Plague.
In front of the monument, there are examples of the Galactic Republic battleships sunk and destroyed in the Plague's short and heroic life. Among them, the three 8,000-meter-long scaled-down models of the Commander-class dreadnoughts are at the front. , and these scaled-down models are all made to look like they were destroyed, demonstrating the powerful destructive power of the Plague.
Afterwards, Count Dooku continued to announce that construction of the second ship of the Ragnarov-class Titan battleship would begin in Parment Port, and that this battleship would undergo a series of modern improvements based on the original one. Further improve combat effectiveness.
Count Dooku originally wanted to name the second ship Doomsday to avoid the name 'Plague', which seemed to make Darth Sidious very sensitive. However, a group of MPs led by Francis Underwood made a fuss in parliament and insisted on naming the second ship the Plague Son.
Count Dooku was worried that this name would irritate Darth Sidious again, so he pinched his nose and came up with various excuses. Later, he even turned his face away and talked to Francis Ann. Derwood got into a row in Parliament.
In the end, both sides took a step back and named the second ship Tenebrous, which is the name of Darth Tenebrous. And Count Dooku assured that after the Darkness is completed and put into service, the captain will still be General Severance Tann.
This farce finally comes to an end.
......
From the end of January to February of 21BBY, this war-burned battlefield in the galaxy rarely calmed down.
In addition to the constant fighting on some planets in the outer ring star region, whether it is the Confederation of Independent Systems or the Galactic Republic, their main fleets have stopped moving.
However, this will be the last calm before a bigger storm.
