The Galactic Republic's fleet has been completely torn apart. Under Severance Tann's surprise attack, they have no ability to resist and cannot even maintain a complete formation.
Severance Tann was right when she said it before. The 11 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers that were paralyzed by the Destruction's ion pulse cannon became a dog leash holding Vice Admiral Jane Dodenner.
Jan Dodenner wants to rescue these 11 battleships, so the maneuvering range of his other battleships will also be greatly restricted. In this case, they will have to face Severance Tann
A direct attack from the fleet with high morale!
In this situation, if the two sides changed their angles, Severance Tann would definitely abandon these 11 battleships without hesitation and immediately lead her fleet to conduct large-scale tactical maneuvers to gain an advantage. But Jane Dodenner
This kind of worrying about gains and losses has become the biggest breakthrough point.
This is the difference between famous generals and ordinary generals.
On the one hand, I don’t want to give up these 11 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers. On the other hand, I want to save the scattered fleet of Lieutenant General Trinald Scared. At the same time, I also want to repel Severance Tann’s attack as soon as possible.
Offensive. The result is that nothing can be done well.
Needless to say about the details, under Severance Tann's outstanding command, the fleet of Jane Dodenner, who was worried about gains and losses, collapsed almost immediately.
His fleet was all battleships from the Rendili planet defense fleet that he had robbed before. Originally, the battleships were undermanned and morale was low, but now they were just reluctantly pulled out to fight. Now they were shot like this by Severance Tann.
They paralyzed 11 ships, and then launched another extremely fierce surprise attack. Immediately there was chaos, and the warships scattered and fled.
So in the end, Jan Dodenner and Scared had to order their fleets to flee in all directions, because now it was impossible to organize effective resistance at all, and they could only disperse in a hurry. They could run as much as they could, at least
Save some vitality.
It has to be said that in such a rotten battle situation, breaking up like this is really a good solution.
Because although Severance Tann is menacing and her command level is far superior to the two of them, the performance of the battleships is there. The battleships in her hands can defeat the 7 Victory I-class Star Destroyers and 1 previously defeated one.
The Knight-class Star Destroyer captured by Darth Malsayir, and then her flagship Destruction.
The others are all Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers, which are warships that are almost two eras behind. Even the conventional firepower of the Destruction itself is actually not strong. So in the final analysis, the firepower of this miscellaneous fleet in Tann's hands is on the low side.
Weakness is the biggest shortcoming!
So when the Republic fleet dispersed, she really had no good way to keep these warships.
As a result, in this battle, Severance Tann sank a total of 12 Jaeger-class battlecruisers, severely damaged 1 Knight-class Star Destroyer, and sunk 17 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers, approximately
This is equivalent to about half of the current Galactic Republic fleet in the Rendili system.
The other warships scattered and fled, then fled to the outskirts of the Rendili system to regroup. Although most of the warships were covered in damage, at least they came back alive.
Severance Tann didn't care. She recovered her warships, reorganized and maintained them, and prepared the next phase of the battle plan. As for those Republic warships, half of them were gone. It didn't matter. If they came again, it would be a big deal to kill them.
Just once.
On the other side, Lieutenant General Jane Dodenner took a shuttle to Lieutenant General Skared's flagship. The two of them were childhood friends and classmates. Although their personalities and ideas were different, and they still had a competitive relationship,
After being hung up and beaten by the opponent's famous general Severance Tann, other conflicts no longer mattered. They were now close friends and classmates again.
The two looked at each other. In the previous battle, Lieutenant General Skared had his flagship shield knocked off by the Destruction, so during the continuous bombardment of the battleship itself, he also fell to the ground and broke the collarbone of his right shoulder.
It was broken, and now its right hand is hanging on the chest after being briefly treated by a medical robot. It looks extremely miserable.
"What should we do now? Scared." Jane Dodenna asked, "Where is Master Yoda?"
"After he went out to fight the Sith Lord, he has been meditating since he came back. He seems to be injured." Scared replied, and he also asked, "Where is the Jedi Knight over there, Jing Fang?
"
"He can only tell me that there is a great danger coming, but he can't point out where the danger comes from... He still lacks the experience of commanding fleet operations." Jane Dodenna shook his head, "Now I suggest that we retreat as soon as possible, Lun
The situation on Dili Planet is irreversible, and there is no point in staying here."
"Your fleet won't be of much use. They are all new recruits." Scared did not forget to criticize his old classmate, "But...it is true that at least we captured half of Rendili's fleet."
, it’s time to hand over the business.”
Jane Dodenne nodded.
However, at this moment, the communications soldier suddenly came over and said: "General! The Supreme Strategic Command of the Republic is calling!"
"Supreme Strategic Command?" Scared frowned, "Take it over."
The screen in front of him flickered, but no holographic projection appeared. Only a powerful and majestic voice came from the other end of the communication, "According to the research decision of the Supreme Strategic Command of the Galactic Republic, the current war on the planet Rendili must continue.
!The Republic will send you more reinforcements. Your mission has changed. It is no longer to occupy the planet Rendili, but to ensure that Severance Tann is always stuck here and cannot go anywhere else!"
Lieutenant General Jan Dodenner was shocked, and he said: "This is impossible! Our fleet just suffered heavy losses during the attack on the planet Rendili, and must temporarily return to Coruscant to rest! And these were taken by us
The captured battleships cannot form effective combat effectiveness at all!"
"This is an order! Not a suggestion!" The other party dropped this sentence coldly, "Your reinforcements include a Commander-class dreadnought and five Jaeger-class battlecruisers! Make good use of this power and drag it to me.
Live in Severance Tann!"
After saying that, he cut off the communication without any explanation.
"A Commander-class ship? Not a Commander-II class, but an old antique like before?! You want us to continue to die here with just a few reinforcements?!" Lieutenant General Skared immediately jumped up.
Lieutenant General Dodenna also looked very ugly, "I think we were abandoned..."
"Abandoned? Impossible! We are candidates for the Republic Admiral!" Scared could not accept this reality.
"After the battle on Rendili Planet, we still don't know if we are candidates, but what is certain is that the Republic will definitely launch attacks from other galaxies in this direction, and our only purpose now is to hold off Severance.
- Tann, don’t let her go there and do bad things.” Lieutenant General Dodenna turned his head and stared into Scared’s eyes, “This is reality.”
"Which direction?" As soon as Scared asked this question, he punched the console with his fist. He himself thought this question was stupid.
"This is not something we, the outcasts, are qualified to know..." Lieutenant General Dodenna sighed.
…
At the same time, the eastern boundary of the Milky Way, the inner star region, and the planet Kona.
This is a pristine planet. The planet has not been developed, and the environment is very harsh. It is full of toxic swamps and primitive jungles. But after the war broke out, the Galactic Republic built a large-scale spaceport here to serve as an advance
base to use.
And after the Galactic Republic began to shift into a strategic counteroffensive, one of the squadrons of the Republic's Fourth Army was stationed here.
The Fourth Army of the Republic did not suffer much losses in previous wars. The main reason was that when General Grievous launched the Festival Offensive more than a year ago, the Fourth Army fleet went to block it, but was penetrated.
.After that, they have regained their strength, and as one of the several legions guarding the core area, the Fourth Army still maintains a very powerful force.
Now, the Republic's new offensive will be launched by the main fleet of the Fourth Army!
On the surface of the planet Kona, there is a gathering area for outsiders. It is also a place where Republic soldiers come to relax and have fun.
Staff officer Sejas came to a bar and sat down in an inconspicuous position. He said to the air next to him: "I will take the shuttle to the space port tomorrow morning. Do you have a way to get up?"
There was no answer, Sejas just felt a tap on his right shoulder.
According to the previously agreed arrangement, patting on the right shoulder means approval.
"Okay, since you have no problem, then let's do it. I will find a way to bring you into the fleet command center, but after that, I want double the reward!" Saihas whispered.
He felt his right shoulder was tapped again, so he nodded gloomily and drank the wine in his hand.
