Chapter 1,133 The Battle of Umbala Planet (Part 1)
1133, Battle of Umbala Planet (Part 1)
In the outer orbit of Umbala planet, 8 Jaeger-class battlecruisers escorting 5 Cheer-class assault landing ships are conducting landing operations.
The fighter jet cluster has taken off, and more than 2,000 fighter jets are guarding the battleship and waiting in full formation. However, these fighter jets have no intention of entering the planet's atmosphere to fight.
On the periphery, 10 Kangai-class frigates of the Confederate Navy of Independent Systems were firing continuously at a distance of 10 light seconds, but they did not dare to get too close.
The fleets of both sides just fired at each other from a distance. The shields of the battleships were constantly hit and seriously damaged, and then they retreated to the rear of the formation. However, that was basically it. Neither side caused fatal damage to the other side.
In fact, this kind of air-to-air confrontation is the most comfortable way for the Kangxi-class frigates with two powerful main guns. But even so, with 10 ships against 8 ships, the Jaeger-class has not yet used the fighter jets.
The group pressure came over, and the Kangdi-class frigate was very struggling.
So this kind of junk battleship really deserved to be eliminated. In the original plot, the Confederation of Independent Systems used the Kang Di class until the end, so the loss was not unfair.
However, the Galactic Republic's energy is also focused on the landing force, so the existence of this Confederate fleet really makes them very uncomfortable.
Because it is very difficult to land on the planet Umbala, and it can even be said that there is only a thin line between committing suicide.
The Umbala planet has no light and is a shadow planet...
Yes, this planet is often called the 'shadow world'.
Umbala is located in the Ghost Nebula region (Ghost or). The Ghost Nebula is a fan-shaped nebula orbiting a giant star. The location of this nebula is exactly between Umbala and Atoa and the star
in between, blocking all light from the star.
If this were the case, then Umbala and Atoya would only be icy planets with temperatures reaching absolute zero, but nature is so wonderful...
The ultraviolet radiation from the star acts on the ghost nebula and reacts with the nebula material to form plasma. The plasma is captured by the atmosphere of the two planets. After cooling, it emits relatively thin ultraviolet radiation again and acts on the ground of the planet itself.
So this formed such a wonderful phenomenon-the two planets still maintained suitable temperatures and ultraviolet radiation even though there was no light at all, allowing these two planets to breed life and brilliant civilizations.
.
In fact, if it were not for the existence of the Ghost Nebula, the light radiation of the giant star would directly shine on the two planets, and the result would be two lava planets without any life.
Therefore, I once again express my gratitude to the power of the Creator of the universe.
And talking about the planet Umbala, this planet has a very thick atmosphere, and there is no light, so it is completely dark.
In fact, if the Umbalans had not actively contacted the Galactic Republic and joined it thousands of years ago, the Republic's astronomers and explorers would not even have known about the existence of this planet!
Because in their various astronomical instruments, this planet cannot be directly observed at all. They can only calculate through gravitational waves that there are two masses in this nebula. Then most scientists think that this is
Two miniature black holes or a large comet.
The Umbala planet is very rich in natural resources and has a colorful ecosystem. The planet not only produces high-quality fuel, but also produces doonium, a very excellent spacecraft shell material.
At the same time, there is also a relatively independent hyperspace channel around the planet itself, which can directly connect the inner and outer rings. It is also the starting point of another hyperspace channel, the Great Kashyyyk Branch, which is equivalent to
Stuck the connection between the planet Kashyyyk and the inner ring of the Milky Way.
This made the strategic value of the Umbala planet rise sharply. This sudden betrayal of the Umbala planet made the Galactic Republic Council so angry and responded immediately.
But anger is anger, and troops are dispatched. Your fleet is here, and so is the landing ship. It is not easy to land on this planet that is completely shrouded in darkness!
Even near the outer orbit of the planet, all you can see is shadows and darkness!
"Looking directly at this planet makes me feel depressed, as if I am standing next to a black hole." Anakin Skywalker looked through the porthole at the boundless darkness outside the window and said in a deep voice.
"Hahahaha! If you really stand near a black hole, then it will bring you more than just depression, Anakin." A very generous palm was placed on Anakin's shoulder, and he spoke
The man's voice was very powerful and powerful, and he almost had a super subwoofer. "I encountered a black hole once on the battlefield on the planet Sarka. To be precise, I deliberately forced myself from near a black hole.
He attacked and then unexpectedly appeared behind the separatist fleet."
Anakin Skywalker nodded and said: "I have heard about this battle, Master Krell. During the battle on the planet Salkar, it was your raid that almost wiped out the Separatist fleet.
And this is also the only time in the current war records that we have been able to defeat the Separatist fleet with Behemoth-class battlecruisers participating in the battle. Of course, we also paid a heavy price."
He turned around and looked at the very tall and burly figure behind him, more than half his body taller than Anakin. He looked like a little giant, the Besalisk Jedi Master Pon Krell.
"Hahahaha, on the battlefield, you must learn to make choices. Yes, I led the fleet directly to pass near the black hole, causing me to lose one-third of the battleships, but if I cannot win, then the sacrifices will only be more
." Pon-Krel said.
The Besarisks are a sparsely populated amphibious race. They have tough skin, four powerful arms, and the cuticles on their heads and the air sacs on their chins maintain very obvious amphibious features ("Star Wars 2: Cloning"
In "The Attack of the Man", after Obi-Wan Kenobi got the bounty hunter's poison dart, the person he went to the tavern to find was the Besarisk man).
Even among the Besalisk people, Pang Krel, who is 2.36 meters tall, is definitely a giant. Anakin couldn't help but look at the two long lightsaber hilts hanging on his waist.
, I couldn't help but picture the brave Jedi Master in front of me, using his unique body structure and four arms to wield two double-headed lightsabers, and his heroic posture in the enemy's formation as if he was in a deserted place.
