Although Planet Rosa is not a particularly important one among the major planets of the Trade Alliance, after all, this planet is located in the core circle of the Milky Way. In such an environment where the economy and industry are extremely developed, no matter how destitute it is,
The planet will also have great strength.
What's more, this is the Trade Federation! It's not an exaggeration to say that it was the second largest economic entity in the galaxy at its peak!
So Planet Rosa is still armed to the teeth.
Planet Rosa is a planet dominated by immigrants. Its indigenous people, the Rosa people, are actually a very excellent race. Their bodies are flexible and flexible, but they are also powerful, and they have four tentacles on their heads.
They are very sensitive to light. The Rosa people are extremely good engineers. They were also one of the first races to establish a trade alliance, so they also have very strong economic and industrial strength.
There are about 4 billion Rosa people on the planet, and more than 9 billion immigrants of other races. Previously, Planet Rosa was a planet with good racial diversity, and it was also considered the most powerful among the many participating races of the Trade Alliance.
One of the strongest races.
However, after the rise of the Galactic Empire, although senior officials and the media did not admit it, the empire, which pursued human supremacy, was not very friendly to Planet Rosa.
Therefore, this time the Galactic Empire declared war on the Trade Federation, the Rosa people did not hesitate to side with the Trade Federation.
And they were attacked by Darth Vader.
In order to protect their homeland, the Rosa people resisted. They relied on the planetary shield and orbital defense system, and cooperated with the armed space stations and Gauss defense platforms around the planet to launch a resolute counterattack.
But Darth Vader's determination was also very firm. The fleet under his command launched a storm-like offensive. He did not intend to waste too much time on the planet Rosa at all. He wanted to destroy the planet Rosa in the shortest possible time.
resistance!
After three years of the Clone Wars, and the following four years of the siege of the planet Salukami, as well as the continuous rebellion and suppression after the establishment of the Empire, Darth Vader has already mastered such battlefield command. His men
The fleet was like a huge battle axe, continuously slashing at the defense line of Planet Rosa.
On July 17, three days after launching the attack, the Gauss defense platforms and armed space stations outside the planet Rosa were wiped out, and the Imperial fleet began bombarding the planetary shields of the planet Rosa.
The orbital defense cannon built on the ground of Planet Rosa also kept firing. The turbolaser beam fired by this giant cannon more than 200 meters high is fatal even to an Empire-class Star Destroyer!
However, the orbital defense cannon's rate of fire is very slow and the range it can cover is limited. It cannot truly withstand the siege of the Imperial fleet.
Two days later, on July 19, the planetary shield of Planet Rosa was broken!
Without any hesitation, Darth Vader, who had been standing on the bridge of the flagship, just waved his hand vigorously. The adjutant behind him immediately stood up and saluted, turned around and said loudly: "The landing ship is dispatched immediately!"
Two Cheer-class assault landing ships began to enter directly into the planet's atmosphere, followed by more than 130 CSS-1 transport ships, full of Imperial Stormtroopers.
At this time, a dense burst of missiles suddenly attacked! Almost off guard, one of the transport ships was hit by several missiles that were too late to intercept, and a violent explosion occurred, along with the Imperial Stormtroopers transported on it.
A ball of fire!
Dozens of frigates appeared in the field of vision while hundreds of fighter jets appeared. It was the planetary defense fleet that had never appeared before!
Most of those frigates are Javelin-class guided missile frigates produced by the Principality of Dawn, and many of the fighter jets are export models of Phantom fighters, and some are relatively backward Z-95 Headhunter fighters.
It turns out that all these battleships are hiding in the planet's atmosphere!
Darth Vader immediately ordered the fighter formations of the Imperial Fleet to enter the atmosphere and fight fiercely with the fighter formations of Planet Rosa.
At the same time, he did not care about the lives of those stormtroopers and ordered the landing operation to continue!
The warships of the Imperial Fleet also began to lower their altitude, and fired directly from the outer layer of the planet at the defense fleet warships in the planet's atmosphere. Even if they missed, it didn't matter, just treat it as an orbital bombing.
After determining the landing direction of the Imperial Fleet, more fighter jets and warships from Planet Rosa also rushed to the battlefield. The first to bear the brunt were the Vulture Robot Fighters, which numbered more than 2,000!
Almost all combat forces in the Trade Federation are equipped with a large number of these robot fighters. Even if their performance has lagged behind, they can still pose a great threat with their huge numbers.
In addition, several huge figures of Generous class frigates appeared in the atmosphere of Planet Rosa, as well as Class 1000 light cruisers, as well as Apocalypse class light cruisers, Revenge class destroyers and other battleships imported from the Principality of Dawn.
The Rosa people have adopted such a posture of concentrating all fleets in the planet's atmosphere, completely preparing to fight the Galactic Empire!
But Darth Vader will not stop, nor will the Imperial fleet's attack.
40 Victory II-class Star Destroyers penetrated directly into the planet's atmosphere and engaged in close firefights with Planet Rosa's defense fleet. At the same time, 10 Chaser-class aircraft carriers also lowered their altitude and entered low-Earth orbit. With the support of the aircraft carriers,
Thousands of TIE/LN combat secrets took off densely, swooping towards Planet Rosa like hungry locusts!
On July 23, the sky above Planet Rosa had been basically cleared. The planetary defense fleet was almost completely destroyed, and fighter jets no longer dared to conduct large-scale battles. They could only be broken into pieces and hidden in some hidden airports, and harassed from time to time.
Transport ship of the Galactic Empire.
By this time, a more brutal battle on the ground had already begun.
The first batch of 60,000 landing troops of the Galactic Empire have completed the landing 200 kilometers east of the capital of the planet Rosa, and established a stable landing site. After completely gaining air supremacy, a steady stream of supplies and soldiers began to be transported down.
A ground attack on the planet Rosa also began.
After advancing more than 30 kilometers, the imperial army encountered the first ground force of Planet Rosa. This force numbered more than 100,000 people and built a strong defensive position in a town to block the advance of the imperial army.
In the sky, TIE bombers kept roaring past, dropping powerful bombs on all exposed fire points. The Imperial Army also set up a small number of AV-7 self-propelled artillery and launched bombings on towns.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The sound of explosions was heard endlessly, and a large number of defense force soldiers were blown to pieces in the explosion. But this did not extinguish their will to resist.
The Imperial Army launched the first wave of attacks, with Imperial Stormtrooper clone troopers wearing white combat armor as the vanguard, followed by a larger number of ordinary soldiers wearing gray military uniforms. But what greeted them were those hidden
The crazy firepower network in almost every building!
A large number of imperial soldiers were shot and fell to the ground. TIE bombers kept circling and bombing in the sky, but they still could not break through the defense line and suffered heavy losses.
In the sky, the huge figures of two Victory II-class Star Destroyers slowly flew by, their powerful turbolaser cannons aimed at the town, and they opened fire directly after reducing the power!
At the same time, Darth Vader, standing on the bridge, coldly issued an order: "Execute Order 37! (Execute Order 37.)"
