"Under your command, we are confident of defeating any enemy!" Adjutant Sandas shouted, "Colonel Thrawn!"
"This fleet is exhausted. It's just an appearance that it's unscathed. Let's return." The commander of the Galactic Empire, known as Thrawn, shook his head and said.
With blue skin and blood-red eyes, he is clearly a Chiss! A Chiss just like the famous Separatist general Severance Tann!
He looked to be in his early 30s, very young, but he had already become a captain in the Imperial Navy, commanding such a patrol fleet.
"Yes!" the adjutant responded loudly. He did not feel any discomfort that he was being commanded by a Chiss.
And this is almost impossible to happen in the army of the Galactic Empire!
Because since the establishment of the Galactic Empire, Emperor Palpatine has been vaguely promoting human supremacy. Although it has not been stated explicitly, and even some imperial media are still vigorously advocating racial equality, in fact, all non-human beings
Races began to be gradually pushed out of the center of the Galactic Empire.
Those non-human races began to find that they could not get any job opportunities at all. Even if they were left behind because they could not be replaced for the time being, they would receive a lot of criticism. For example, they would be made things difficult at work, or they would gradually lose their jobs in daily interpersonal relationships.
Isolated...
Even speaking, if a fight breaks out between a human and a non-human race on the street in the center of the empire, then the result will definitely be that the imperial military police will arrest the non-human race and lock it up, and send the human back to the police station.
Home.
Not only that, companies established by businessmen of non-human races are also constantly being suppressed. They cannot receive orders, cannot buy raw materials, a large number of human employees have resigned, and they are under investigation by the imperial tax department all day long.
This is even more true for the army. When the Galactic Empire was first established, it directly rejected and dismissed all soldiers from non-human races. The reason was rather high-sounding - if all human soldiers were recruited, it would be easier to unify uniforms, weapons and rations.
Under such an environment, it can be said that the Colonel Thrawn in front of him was able to continuously improve and finally became the commander of a patrol fleet. This can be said to be a miracle. Of course, it can also be said that this Chiss commander has far-reaching capabilities.
Extraordinary abilities and emotional intelligence.
In fact, this is indeed the case. The patrol fleet commanded by Colonel Thrawn was originally very inconspicuous. After he was appointed, he went to the battleship repair shop at Quat Power Dock to piece together the fleet.
The flagship Ephemerus Imperial-class Star Destroyer was actually originally a Knight-class Star Destroyer. After the end of the Clone Wars, the Galactic Empire Navy began ordering and producing Victory II-class Star Destroyers. Relatively speaking, the Knight-class Star Destroyer
The efficiency of the ship is not high, but the cost is twice that of the Victory II class.
Therefore, some Knight-class Star Destroyers that were injured on the battlefield were brought back to the repair shop at Quat Power Dockyard, and then modernized and re-modified into Imperial-class Star Destroyers. Anyway, the designs of the two Star Destroyers were almost identical.
, it is very convenient to modify.
So Colonel Thrawn chose this battleship as his flagship, and then he found several prototype ships of the Night's Watch class frigates. These prototype ships were built when they were first undergoing final experiments, and are similar to the Night's Watch currently in service.
Compared with the frigates, many of the electronic equipment are not the most advanced, but Colonel Thrawn admires the flexibility and powerful firepower of this kind of warship, so he also asked for these prototype ships.
So his patrol fleet was formed.
After starting the mission, Captain Thrawn led the fleet to refit while fighting, trying every means to find the parts they needed from the Imperial Navy's Munitions Department, so as to gradually increase the combat effectiveness of the fleet.
Colonel Thrawn was also in constant combat missions. Through his artistic command ability and unfathomable wisdom, he impressed all the officers and soldiers of the fleet.
At first, these officers and soldiers sneered at Colonel Thrawn, who was a Chiss. They looked down upon this non-human race at all, even though compared to humans, the Chiss had no skin color from the inside out.
What a difference.
On this point, Grand Duke Tang Xiao of Dawn has the most say.
But now more than three years have passed since the founding of the Galactic Empire, and the idea of human supremacy has been deeply rooted. These officers and soldiers did not show Colonel Thrawn's face on the spot, which can be regarded as a sign of strict military discipline of the Imperial Navy.
However, this situation did not last long. From the very beginning of annihilating pirates and hunting down those fleeing separatist forces, Captain Thrawn led this fleet to continuous victories without any losses!
For those naval officers and soldiers at the grassroots level of the Galactic Empire, they actually don’t really care who they serve, nor who their commander is, or who their enemy is. What they really care about is who can take them back alive.
!
And Colonel Thrawn did this!
This time when they received the mission to confront the Geth fleet that suddenly appeared through warp speed, everyone was filled with despair, because before that, unless they sent a sector-level fleet to encircle and suppress them, they would be patrolling in small groups.
The fleet encounters a geth battle group and is either killed or disabled!
The geth warships are extremely flexible, have extremely powerful firepower, and have extremely thick shields and armor! Their only drawback is that the range of their weapons is not far, and the rate of fire and bullet speed are not very fast. But in actual combat, there is no Imperial Navy
The commander was able to seize this point, but was quickly approached by the geth warship with its super speed, and was defeated by the geth warship's ferocious stalking.
The morale of the officers and soldiers of Captain Thrawn's fleet, who had finally been impressed by his superb commanding skills, has once again fallen into a low point. Some people even began to think that it was precisely because of the existence of Thrawn, a non-human commander, that the Imperial Navy Department
Such a death order was given to them!
But Colonel Thrawn just told them calmly that if they followed his instructions, everyone would survive.
Then, there is this miraculous victory!
And this victory also made Colonel Thrawn truly become a god-like existence among the officers and soldiers of all levels in this patrol fleet!
Captain Thrawn commanded the fleet to go to an imperial naval base near the planet Ithor, where he temporarily stationed himself and applied to the Navy Department for material supplies and battleship repairs. After that, he gave his soldiers a break and asked them to take turns.
take a vacation.
But he did not go to the spaceport with these soldiers to drink and play with women. Instead, he stayed on his flagship Fire-breathing Star Destroyer, listening to a piece of music that was very different from the style of the Galactic Empire, and at the same time flipping through a book.
A thick piece of information.
