When Mace Windu piloted his fighter jet back to the flagship of his fleet, the Jaeger-class battlecruiser Endurance, he was almost shot down by his own anti-aircraft fire.
Although the fire control system and identification friend or foe device are still working, if communication is lost and the nervous turret operator is highly nervous, he will still subconsciously fire on every target that appears on the radar.
You know, this is a huge battlefield with a battlefield range of more than 200,000 kilometers. At this scale, a fighter jet is really as small as a grain of sand in the sea. And under normal circumstances, passing through the interstellar battlefield
You can't see anything at all, even if you want to see a large battleship, it's not easy.
In fact, after the communication system was cut off, the hardest hit area among the main fleet of the Second Galaxy Army was their fighter formation!
Fighters are too small to install large and advanced radar systems and communication systems. In many cases, they need their own take-off mothership for command and guidance. But now that communications have been cut off, all fighter jets have become headless flies.
.
In intuitive terms, after the communication is cut off, the pilot of every fighter jet will find himself in the vast space, surrounded by darkness, with sporadic light points flashing from time to time, and you don't even know whether these light points are starlight or starlight.
A capital ship has just been blown up.
The most terrible thing is that the turbo laser beams and missiles flying from nowhere are impossible to guard against! And these things are most likely the firepower launched by one's own warships.
If the communication system is normal, there will be continuous command in the communication, sometimes directly sending data to the navigation robot. For example, which area is our warship covering with firepower, where is the main gun firing, and where is the enemy fighter jet?
In which direction...all the information is clear at a glance and can be seen.
But now, without this data, fighter pilots have no choice but to fly towards the place where the spaceship is - the more courageous ones fly towards the enemy warships, wanting to fight for their lives; the less timid ones fly towards their own warships, wanting to return to the mother ship
.And the closer you get to these warships, the easier it is to be hit by your own or the opponent's firepower.
Because every battleship is surrounded by countless firepower, whether it is launched to hit others or fired by others to hit itself.
In the previous battles, the Second Galaxy Army took off a total of more than 5,000 fighter jets, and no more than one tenth of these fighter jets were able to return to their mothership safely! And they did not dare to take off more until communications were restored.
of fighter jets.
As a result, most of the 20,000 fighter jets carried by the main fleet of the Second System Army became more fragments that flew out when their parked Jaeger-class battlecruiser was blown up.
Mace Windu didn't wait for his fighter to stop, jumped directly, and then quickly rushed to the bridge.
However, what he saw inside the bridge was not the busy and neat military appearance he imagined. On the contrary, officers and staff at all levels, including the fleet commander Admiral Sopnos, were all sitting in their seats with their heads downcast.
"You! What are you doing!" Mace Windu was furious. He walked up and waved his hand, and a wave of force immediately knocked these decadent officers off their feet. "The battle of the entire fleet is in your hands.
Look what you are doing now!
"
"It's useless...it's useless..." Sopnos sat up from the ground and said dejectedly: "The communication was cut off. We can't do anything. We can only watch Severance Tann put it down."
Our fleet was wiped out bit by bit... Hehehe, we should feel honored to lose to Severance Tann, right? Master Windu..."
The anger in Windu's heart could not be increased. He raised his hand to grab Sopnos, and he grabbed Sopnos by the neck out of thin air and lifted him up, "Second Galaxy Army, there is no such waste as you!
"
However, Sopnos was already disheartened. He struggled instinctively, but still said, "Master Windu... The second ship of the Plague is on the way. Give up, you can't win..."
"Disturbing the morale of the army! A capital crime!" Mace Windu's hand gradually tightened, and a faint golden light appeared in his intact eye.
With a kacha sound, Sopnos's neck bones made a crisp sound, and then his whole body drooped down, making no more sound.
At this moment, everyone on the entire bridge looked at Mace Windu with fear in their eyes. It was not like they were looking at a once respected Jedi master. On the contrary, what they seemed to see was just a head.
Just a bloodthirsty beast.
The force of the dark side burst out from Mace Windu. The moment he killed Sopnos, he had completely given up his belief in the light.
Ever since he was severely injured by the Angel of Death and Depa Bilaba on the planet of Harunkar, causing him to be paralyzed at a high level. He could only regain his mobility through mechanical transformation, Mace Windu has been wandering between darkness and light.
.
His belief in the light was once so firm that he could not be shaken no matter how tempted he was. That's why he was able to use the Wapad sword technique - a technique that used the emotions of the dark side to strengthen the power of the sword technique, but he never let the dark side affect his heart.
A kind of swordsmanship.
Those who practice Wapad, whether it is Depa Billaba or Thora Balk, have now fallen to the dark side. Only Mace Windu still sticks to the light, which shows the firmness of his heart.
However, Republic Speaker Sheev Palpatine was confirmed to be the Sith Lord Darth Sidious. This information almost destroyed his faith. As a member of the Jedi Order, there was political entanglement with the Galactic Republic.
The person who suffered the most, Mace Windu, suffered a greater blow than others imagined.
The thought that the speaker he once served and loyal to turned out to be a disgusting Sith Lord was absolutely unacceptable to him.
After that, the constant failures on the front line made his behavior gradually go to extremes. In the first few orbital bombings, the reason why several Jedi Masters accompanying the army agreed to sign was actually his approval behind the scenes.
From this moment on, although he is still the guardian of the light side, he has inevitably moved closer and closer to the dark side. He is willing to accept Master Ki-Adi Mundi, who has fallen to the dark side, as his
The left and right hands jointly commanded the fleet of the Second Galaxy Army. Such an approach would have been impossible for him who once hated his enemies so much.
Then came the break between him and Master Yoda. Master Yoda failed to assassinate Palpatine alone and then disappeared. What followed was the betrayal of Anakin Skywalker and Order 66.
The complete destruction of the Jedi Order became the straw that broke the camel's back.
At this moment, the disastrous defeat of the Second Galaxy Army finally made it all happen - the Dark Jedi Master, Mace Windu!
How firm his belief in the light side was, how quickly he fell at this moment.
Mace Windu stood in the middle of the bridge, kicked Sopnos's body to the corner, glanced at the surrounding officers with his golden eyes, and said coldly: "Go back to your post! Here!
