1625, the prelude to war
"Are you here?" A cold smile appeared on the corner of Das-Masayir's mouth.
In response to the force, a pair of chaotic and dark eyes from the other end of the galaxy looked over, colliding with Darth Malsayir countless light years apart.
At the same time, he also felt a boundless darkness, like a terrible tsunami, rolling in from the other end of the Milky Way, overwhelming the sky, and even the countless stars were eclipsed by it!
At the end of this dark wave, there is a black shadow...
Dark, evil, powerful!
He is also the most powerful Sith Lord in the galaxy right now—Darth Sidious!
"I've been waiting for you...for a long time." Das-Masayir murmured.
"That's right...that's right..." There seemed to be a faint murmur coming from the other end of the force.
Das-Masayir pressed the communicator without hesitation and said to the other end: "All troops, enter combat status immediately! The enemy is coming!"
[Yes!] Volgograd-Kanidi's deep voice came from the other side. He didn't say much or had any questions. He responded and closed the communication.
However, just a few minutes later, all the defense fleets around the planet Annaji began to take action!
Near the asteroid where Darth Malsayel was located, a green indicator light suddenly lit up on an air mine visible to the naked eye, and then the entire air mine gradually became dull and disappeared into space.
Stealth system!
The tens of billions of air mines deployed around the entire Annaji planet are equipped with a basic stealth system! And with the built-in battery function, this stealth system can last for more than three days!
All the defense fleets around the planet have all entered combat positions. The fighter pilots have arrived at the hangar platform and are in position. The first batch of pilots scheduled to take off have already boarded their fighter planes and are ready to take off.
Although no changes can be seen on the outside, in fact, the entire Annaji planet, and even the Annaji galaxy, the huge war machine has begun to operate. This place is about to become a piece of flesh and blood, iron and fire.
machine!
In the dark space, a sudden burst of dazzling white light flashed, and almost without warning, 20 huge figures suddenly appeared!
A 2,011-meter-long cylindrical battleship—the Invincible-class battlecruiser!
The sudden appearance of 20 large battleships also kicked off the Galactic Republic's second major attack on the Model Sector!
Darth Malsayil stood up and looked at the Republic battleship not far away from him, with an extremely ferocious smile on his face.
He opened his arms, faced the 20 huge battleships, and laughed loudly, "Come on! Darth Sidious! I'll wait for you here!"
waiting for you!
Hahahahaha!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
!”
That arrogant laughter was quickly swallowed up by the vacuum of the universe. Even ten meters away from him, the fluctuations of the sound waves had become minimal.
But at the same time, on the planet Coruscant, the Republic Capitol Building.
Darth Sidious, who was holding a parliamentary meeting, also turned his head to look in this direction without warning, and the smile on his lips became distorted.
"Dath-Masayir..."
"Darth Sidious!"
"This battle is destined!" The two people, countless light years apart, said these words almost in unison.
…
Dip! Dip! Dip! Dip!
!
The outer orbit of the planet Annaji, the Agonev-class interstellar base, and the command center.
The piercing sirens were endless, and the hyperspace detector kept sending out alarms. The controller ran over and shouted hysterically: "Strong hyperspace fluctuations have been detected!"
Very strong! Unprecedented!
!”
"The Republic battleship appears! Number 20! Model confirmed, Invincible-class battlecruiser!"
"All hyperspace blockers from I-9 to N-17 have lost contact!"
"The enemy ship launches electronic interference! Activate the electronic countermeasures system immediately!"
"Attention all units! Enter combat status immediately!"
All departments in the command center suddenly became noisy, and countless messages and instructions were immediately mixed together. Those extremely nervous voices gathered together, playing the prelude to war!
Volgograd-Kanidi's face was ashen and his expression was extremely solemn.
The Galactic Republic is really here!
"How is this possible!" the operator of the hyperspace monitoring team said loudly, grabbing his hair. "According to the detector, this hyperspace channel is still in a state of chaos! There are at least 80,000 mass projections leading to the Galactic Republic!
"
"The Republic fleet is already here! Don't worry about this! Prepare to fight immediately!"
"There is an abnormality in the hyperspace fluctuations! A report came from the U-77 hyperspace outpost! The hyperspace blocker they were responsible for maintaining was directly destroyed by the strong fluctuations, and this fluctuation also interfered with hyperspace communications!"
"V-81 Hyperspace Outpost has reestablished contact!" the communications soldier shouted, "They were also attacked by strong hyperspace fluctuations and their communications were disrupted!"
"This is not a normal hyperspace fluctuation! Please ask the scientific research team to send experts over immediately!"
"General Canidi! We are under enemy attack! Please give instructions!"
Volgograd-Kanidi was still standing in the command center with piercing eyes and a serious expression. However, he did not issue combat orders immediately. Instead, he only opened the internal communication channel and said slowly in his powerful and deep voice: "Galaxy"
The Republic is here. These 20 warships are just the beginning... They are here to deprive us of all our wealth, destroy all our homes, and enslave every one of us... Defend our homes and resist invasion... What can you do?
Are you here?"
"I can!"
"General! Please give the order!"
"The Model Sector is ours! The Galactic Republic, never try to get involved!
"
Volgograd-Kanidi had no expression on his face. He just pressed another button, and the figure of a young general appeared on the screen in front of him - Jin Chen, Kanidi's right-hand man.
"So...what about you?" Canidi asked slowly.
"The Model Sector belongs to us. No one, not Tang Xiao or the Galactic Republic, can get involved!" Jin Chen's expression was a little ferocious.
"What if I told you that Tang Xiao is in this galaxy right now?" Canidi asked.
Jin Chen was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed several times. It was obvious that he was thinking about countless possibilities in his mind.
But in the end, his expression calmed down and he asked: "What is Tang Xiao doing here? Supervising the battle? Haha... If we flinch, will he kill us with his lightsaber?"
"He insisted on his judgment that the Galactic Republic would attack the Model Sector. And he believed that if the Galactic Republic came to attack, there must be masters who use the Force among them. So, he came here - the Model Sector
." Volgograd-Kanidi said.
He stared hard at Jin Chen's eyes on the screen and said word for word: "Then I ask you again, can you...can do it?"
"I will protect the Model Sector at any cost! Even if I join forces with Tang Xiao." Jin Chen said.
"How could you think that he would not join forces with us? Are we two countries? At the same time, how could you think that he would join forces with us? Do you and I really have this qualification in front of him with our strength?
Canidi asked several questions in succession.
"Mr. Governor, standing behind us are tens of billions of people in the Model Sector!" Jin Chen said, "And Tang Xiao, he will not fight for the people... If necessary, he will sacrifice all of us.
!As you said, we are not... qualified."
He was silent for a while, then gritted his teeth and said loudly: "But I can!
I will fight to the end! I will fight with the Galactic Republic until the last soldier!
"
Volgograd-Kanidi nodded, without saying much, but took a step forward, stood in the center of the console with his hands behind his back, and said loudly: "All combat units that enter the attack range, immediately open fire! The target -
Galactic Republic Battleship!
"
…
20BBY, July 24th.
After the Galactic Republic simultaneously launched an attack on the planet Salukami, where the Confederation of Independent Systems has heavily stockpiled troops in the east, and on the Yago-Dur system, a member of the Principality of Dawn in the west, an extremely fierce war broke out again in the Model sector.
fighting!
At the beginning of the battle, no one expected that this battle would be so tragic and its impact would be so far-reaching.
Because this third Battle of the Model Sector truly played the final elegy for the Galactic Republic!
"emission!
!" The captains of the various warships of the Kingdom of Dawn loudly gave orders to fire. All the battleships of the Kingdom of Dawn stationed on the planet Annaji opened fire as long as they entered the shooting position!
Countless pulse laser cannons, missiles, torpedoes, and even super-matter electromagnetic guns, Yamato cannons, and particle light spears all opened fire!
Even judging from the current distance between the two fleets, the probability of a hit is very small, but the Dawn Principality still conveyed a message with its actions——
Resist till the end!
Boom~~!
!An Invincible-class battlecruiser was hit by a particle light spear. This shot was so powerful that it directly destroyed the deflector shield of the battleship, and also directly destroyed the main gun turret on the left side of the battleship.
Group.
Boom~~~~~The entire battleship was shaken by the explosion, and people on the bridge were also turned upside down.
The captain of the battleship held up the tall hat on his head and screamed loudly, "Evade quickly! Avoid it quickly!"
Our ship cannot stop the particle light spear!"
The captains of the 20 Invincible-class battlecruisers also issued similar orders. These battleships suddenly became chaotic. The original formation no longer existed, and now they were all running around.
The Invincible-class battlecruiser, or the Invincible-class heavy cruiser [Note 1], the earliest year of use can even be traced back to 3,000 years ago. It is an out-and-out ancient ship type. But the Invincible-class is in the war era after all.
It is a warship designed, so the installation of systems and weapons is more unrestrained compared to the warships designed and manufactured after the Rusan reform such as the Prosecutor-class and Governor-class.
Being more "unrestrained" actually means that when carrying out modern modifications, more powerful weapons can be installed without redesigning the entire system.
But even so, this is a design from 3,000 years ago after all, and no matter how much modification it is, it will be in vain. At least the current heirloom of the Galactic Republic Navy, the XX-9 heavy turbolaser cannon, cannot be installed on the Invincible class.
The Invincible-class battlecruiser was actually designed and built by Rendili Interstellar Power Company. At that time, Quat Power Shipyard had just emerged, and most of the military orders were in the hands of Rendili. It was also a witness to Rendili Interstellar.
The glory of Dynamic Company.
The reason why these battleships appeared in Kuat's hands was actually sent by the Galactic Republic. These Invincible-class battlecruisers originally belonged to Coruscant's defense fleet. The Supreme Strategic Command decided to use Kuat Power Dockyard to launch the Model Star.
After the battle in the area, the Supreme Strategic Command casually handed over some old equipment to the Quat Dynamic Shipyard, euphemistically calling it destocking.
Onana Quart actually looked down upon these outdated warships, but after thinking about it, it was better than nothing. After all, they were large warships with a length of 2011 meters, so they were all organized into this attack fleet and used as cannon fodder.
This is why the first batch of warships to pass the hyperspace stabilizer are these 20 Invincible-class ships. After all, Kuat does not want to use cutting-edge warships like the Knight-class Star Destroyer to test the stability and actual combat functions of the hyperspace stabilizer.
Naturally, Volgograd-Kanidi would not be polite to these old battleships and ordered to continue firing. At the same time, 200 Phantom fighters took off and 500 Vulture robot fighters rushed towards this weak fleet of Invincible-class battlecruisers.
go.
The Vulture Robot Fighter - the Principality of Dawn also needs to be ‘destocked’.
After more than 3,000 years, the advantages and disadvantages of the Invincible class have been studied and understood by everyone. This old warship has very good anti-ship attack capabilities, but it has no way to deal with fighter groups.
Just when the fighter formations of the Principality of Dawn launched an attack on the Invincible-class battlecruiser, a sudden change occurred!
In the other direction of the galaxy, a large amount of white light suddenly flashed, followed by 10 Knight-class Star Destroyers and 5 Jaeger-class battlecruisers flying over through hyperspace!

[Note 1: The Galactic Republic’s naval establishment and battleship design are actually comprehensively judged through length, volume, function, power, etc. But in fact, for readers who read books, this judgment seems very confusing, for example, more than 2,000 meters
The Invincible-class is actually just a cruiser, and the official designation of the 4825-meter Conqueror-class is actually a heavy cruiser. You see, maybe the formation and design of the Galactic Republic is more scientific, but it is very uncomfortable for readers. Therefore, as I said
, length is the only criterion, so at least it is simpler and clearer for everyone. The Invincible class is a battlecruiser, and the Conqueror class is a battleship. Isn’t this very clear? 】
