Chapter 1443: Survival in Dilemma
1443, Survival in Dilemma
The planet Dorin, the hometown of the Kel-Dor people, also gave birth to the Jedi Masters Plo-Kon and Sha -The race of great men such as Kong.
The most obvious feature of the Kel-dor is their tough and sealed skin, as well as the masks and respirators they wear at all times. However, like the Jivin people with bony outer skulls, generally speaking, such an appearance can only mean one thing -
The planet Dorin is one of the planets with the most extreme environments in the galaxy.
The Dorin Galaxy where this planet is located has two massive black holes nearby. However, these two black holes and a star do not form a three-body system. Instead, they are independent of each other and have their own stable orbits.
It’s just that when the planet Dolin orbits closer to one of the black holes, part of the planet’s atmosphere will be attracted by the black hole’s gravity. Over time, the atmosphere of the planet Dolin will remain very thin for a long time. At the same time, a large amount of harmful gases are filled inside.
At the same time, the gravity of the black hole will warp even the light, so the Dolin planet will have no light for a long time during its revolution. Although there is no light, the radiation from the black hole has become the source of energy that nourishes everything on the planet.
The same is true. Affected by the two black holes, the hyperspace channel where the planet Dolin is located is not navigable at all times. Whenever a planet is affected by the gravity of a black hole, the hyperspace channel will be full of dangers and generally cannot be used.
It’s just that like the Given people, in this extreme environment, the glorious civilization of the Kel-dor people was born. The Kel-Dor people have built their own industrial system and scientific research system. They are also one of the few races in the galaxy that can move towards the interstellar era on their own.
Not only that, the brave and capable Kel-dor people are also very good warriors in the galaxy. They are often active in every corner of the galaxy as mercenaries and bounty hunters.
Because of this, when the planet Dolin was attacked by the geth, the Seventh Army of the Galactic Republic immediately sent a fleet to reinforce it.
At the same time, it was also because when the Kitumite Military Alliance, headed by the Anxin Planet, broke away from the Galactic Republic and joined the Confederation of Independent Systems, the northern gateway of the Galactic Republic was the planet Dorin.
The original plan of the Supreme Strategic Command of the Galactic Republic was to rely on the developed industrial system of the planet Dorin to defend against geth attacks. However, judging from the current battle situation, it is obvious that the Supreme Strategic Command is overthinking.
The Geth have become a climate, and their strength is growing every day. As they control more and more planets, their strength is expanding faster and faster! This is completely beyond the worst-case scenario made by the Supreme Strategic Command!
And now, under the command of Gilad Pellaeon, the temporary commander of the Second Squadron of the Seventh Army of the Galactic Republic, the assembled Republic fleet flew straight in the direction of the black hole!
Although many battleship captains have raised objections to this, because flying into a black hole under such circumstances is tantamount to seeking death!
But Gilad Perrine insisted on this order and even demanded that if the captain refused to carry out the order, he would be arrested immediately and replaced by the deputy captain.
Looking at the eager expressions of their deputy captains, the captains could only agree one by one.
In fact, even if they don't do this, what else can they do in the face of the siege of the Geth fleet? By the time Gilad Pellaeon took over command of the fleet, the Second Squadron had actually been defeated by the geth fleet.
If you continue like this, it will only delay the time of failure.
As for surrender? Don't think the geth will leave anyone alive!
So it’s all a matter of death, so it’s better to give it a try while someone comes up with a plan now.
Under the instructions of Gilad Pellaeon, all the fighters returned to the battleships, and all the battleships formed a circular array, like hedgehogs, relying on dense formations and intensive firepower to fight against the geth. That highly mobile fleet.
This strategy has achieved preliminary results. After all, if both sides stand still and engage in bombardment, the Geth cruiser with a length of only 300 meters will still be inferior to the 1137-meter-long Jaeger-class battlecruiser. But to be honest, the fact that these two types of battleships can be compared together shows the terrifying performance of the geth battleships!
But just like that, he is still waiting to die. At most, it's just a matter of burying him with a few more geth warships before he dies.
"Everyone prepare for zero gravity! Turn off the artificial gravity system!" Following Gilad Pellaeon's order, everyone in all the battleships immediately grabbed the weapons beside them. stuff, while Soldiers on the operator stations and in the control room seats strapped themselves into place.
Soon, the artificial gravity system was turned off, and everything in the battleship floated. Everyone held their breath in unison at this time. In such a gravityless environment, everyone was very nervous.
In this way, the Republic fleet formed a dense formation and flew towards a black hole, while the geth warships were in hot pursuit. One of the two sides chased and the other escaped, while fierce exchanges of fire continued.
Some Republic warships were damaged due to collision with each other and fell out of formation. The lone battleship was quickly completely destroyed by the geth battleship.
However, Gilard Perrine's command was very calm. He constantly directed the warships to fill the gaps and ensure that there would be no loopholes in the formation.
At this moment, every battleship suddenly shook violently! Then there was gravity again inside the battleship, but this time, the gravity was deflected in the direction of the black hole! The unfixed objects in the battleship all slid towards the front of the battleship.
A soldier at the console turned his head and said in horror: "Sir! We have entered the gravitational range of the black hole! We are going to be captured by the black hole's gravity!!"
Everyone had a look on their face. It's pale.
Everyone knows the consequences of being captured by the gravity of a black hole! It is different from being captured by the gravity of the planet. The gravity of the planet is only a little bit stronger. Even if it is captured, if the battleship still has power, it will be forced to land on the surface of the planet at worst.
But black holes are different! The gravitational pull of a black hole is hundreds of thousands of times that of an ordinary planet! In other words, if it is captured by a black hole, it will not be long before it is directly torn apart by the strong gravity, broken down into fragments smaller than atoms, and then dragged into the black hole.
In other words, the countdown to the life of this fleet has begun!
The siren kept sounding, and the controller shouted with a cry, "Sir! We are close to the limit! If we continue to move forward, we will not be able to escape the gravity of the black hole!!"
"Give I hold on! If we can't do it, the Geth battleship can't do it either!" Gilad Pellaeon shouted in a cold sweat.
As expected, several of the geth warships that had been besieging them before were captured by the gravity of the black hole, spinning uncontrollably, and then being pulled into the depths of the black hole.
The remaining geth warships quickly turned and fled away from the black hole.
"Sir!!" the controller yelled. Gilad Perrine didn't need to listen to what he said to know what he meant. The battleship had exceeded its limit! Now they can no longer escape the gravitational pull of the black hole!
"Now! Each ship activates the anti-gravity system! The direction of gravity is opposite to the black hole! All ships' engines are turned on! Leave the black hole range!" Gilad Pellaeon gave an order , "After breaking away from gravity, start the hyperspace engine immediately!"
Under his order, the anti-gravity systems of all battleships operated at full strength, and all energy was supplied to the engines!
Under the pull of two powerful gravitational forces, almost everyone suffered extremely strong pressure! Some crew members who were in poor physical condition even fainted on the spot! The objects in the battleship began to rotate due to the gravitational competition in different directions, and they were getting faster and faster!
Finally, the Republic fleet broke away from the gravity of the black hole and flew straight ahead like an arrow from a string! However, several battleships were still dragged into the black hole due to engine damage.
At this time, the geth warships that were escaping happened to have their backs facing the Republic's fleet!
Without any hesitation, the Republic battleship opened fire immediately! The firepower from behind immediately disrupted the formation of the Geth warships, and several Geth warships were destroyed.
The Second Squadron did not stop because of this. While the geth battleships were reorganizing their formation, they immediately started the hyperspace engine, regardless of the hyperspace chaos that might occur under the influence of the black hole. Leave the battlefield immediately!
...
At the same time, the capital of the Galactic Republic, Coruscant.
Two days have passed since Speaker Palpatine was assassinated. During the past two days, the Supreme Council of the Jedi Order, led by Shaak-Ti, has been discussing how to solve the current problem.
Send out all the troops to kill Darth Sidious? Impossible, they will soon become traitors and be surrounded and suppressed by the entire Galactic Republic army.
Just sit back and wait for death? That is even more impossible, and it is impossible for Darth Sidious to let go of the Jedi Order. I just don't know what he is waiting for now.
Leaving Coruscant? Now that the planet has been blocked, they can't even send communications.
Anakin Skywalker was also in this uneasy atmosphere. He sat uneasily on the bed in his dormitory, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
What happened in just one month almost overturned everything he knew!
First Master Windu was expelled from the Jedi Order, then the appearance of the Blood Knight, Barriss-Ophee's terrorist attack, and her accusation against the Jedi Order in the Inquisition, and... …
The departure of Ahsoka Tano.
Even if he continues to look forward, the changes in his mother, the conspiracy of the Dead Angels, the development of the war situation, and...everything that happened on the planet Onderon are all challenging the values that he has formed in the Jedi Order over the past ten years. .
Because during the battle on the planet Onderon, he even truly believed that Wilhuff Tarkin's extreme actions were correct!
And in Anakin's view, the development of the battle situation is constantly proving the correctness of Tarkin's theory. It was also because of this battle that he and Tarkin became friends.
In fact, if it were in the past, the kind-hearted Anakin would never imagine that he could become friends with an extreme militarist.
And now... someone actually told him that Palpatine, the Speaker of the Galactic Republic, is the Sith Lord Darth Sidious!
What happened to this galaxy?
This question, Anakin Skywalker asked himself repeatedly in the past two days, but he did not have any answer.
Beep beep beep beep, the communicator suddenly sounded.
Anakin was suddenly startled! Because now that even communications are blocked, how could there still be communications reaching me? !
However, when he saw the text message sent by the communication, his face suddenly turned pale!
Communication from, Sheev Palpatine! Speaker of the Galactic Republic! At the same time, the Sith Lord Darth Sidious!
Anakin's heart beat violently, his fists clenched tightly, and he even wanted to rush over and pierce the Sith Lord's chest with a sword right now! Maybe now is the best opportunity!
He stood up suddenly, picked up his lightsaber and looked at it carefully, then hung the lightsaber on his waist and walked out.
The entire Jedi Order is now in a state of confusion, and no one cares about his departure. Anyway, many people have left the Jedi Order in the past few days, but most of them just wander around and then come back, unable to do anything.
Shaak Ti, the current leader of the Jedi Order, also strictly prohibited them from taking any extraordinary actions.
Anakin Skywalker came to the square, and there was already a hover car parked here. He got on the car, and without him saying anything, the robot driver controlled the hover car and drove directly towards the Parliament Building. There were no words along the way. any obstruction.
In the square outside the Parliament Building, there were heavily armed Sparti clone soldiers everywhere. These soldiers surrounded the entire building, almost impenetrable.
Seeing such a posture, Anakin Skywalker's face became gloomy.
The hover car stopped. Anakin Skywalker originally thought that he would be surrounded by countless soldiers immediately, but this did not happen. He was just led by a protocol robot towards the speaker's office on the highest floor of the parliament building.
Standing at the door of the Speaker's office, Anakin Skywalker stopped and took a deep breath.
I don't know why, but there are no guards outside. But Anakin knew that inside...the culprit who had plunged the entire galaxy into chaos, the Sith Lord Darth Sidious!
Anakin Skywalker took off the hilt of his lightsaber from his waist and held it tightly in his hand. Although he did not open it, he was ready to fight!
Click, the automatic door opened gently...a familiar but weak voice came, and the scene that greeted his eyes made Anakin Skywalker stunned!
"Thank you for your hard work, Governor Tarkin... We need to give more reinforcements to the planet Dorin. We must avoid... ahem... avoid the fall of the planet Dorin... ahem... we cannot lose ...The people of Kel-dor...cough cough cough cough cough..."
