Chapter 2222 The Battle of Cato-Neimoidia (Part 1)
2223, Battle of Cato-Neimoidia (Part 1)
The core circle of the Milky Way, the planet Cato-Neimoidia.
A huge fleet is gathering far away from the planet, just stuck in the gravity well range, and has not entered the planet's synchronous orbit, or maintained the synchronous operation of the planet's rotation.
The fleet of this Galactic Empire has a total of 190 Imperial-class Star Destroyers, 80 Victory II-class Star Destroyers, 3 Chaser-class aircraft carriers, in addition to Victory I-class Star Destroyers and Chasseur-class battlecruisers.
30 ships. In addition, there are more than 1,800 small and medium-sized warships including Vigil-class frigates, DP-20 anti-aircraft gunboats, CR-90 frigates, Aquitens-class light cruisers, and Predator-class frigates.
In the direction of the front of the fleet, countless debris and debris are floating here. The armed space stations and Gauss defense platforms in this area have been cleared by the powerful firepower of the fleet.
But under normal circumstances, this alone is not enough to launch a frontal offensive against the planet. Because the planet is constantly rotating, if you want to maintain a long-term offensive, you must keep pace with the rotation of the planet. Otherwise, you have just landed from here.
If we go down, the planet will soon move to the other side, and then the landing troops will be surrounded by enemies on all sides and eventually be massacred when foreign aid is cut off.
However, if the offensive is to continue, then this fleet will undoubtedly face defense facilities in other directions of the planet. With such continuous consumption and attacks, the fleet currently assembled here will not be enough!
The direction of the planet Cato-Neimoidia is only the main attack point of the Galactic Empire, and the other two wealth planets-Deco-Neimoidia and Kru-Neimoidia are also launching attacks simultaneously.
.However, the other two planets have invested a smaller number of warships. The current main task is to clear out the defense fleets on the periphery of these planets and cut off the supply transportation to the planets.
From the equator of the Cato-Neimoidia planet, bursts of fire continued to light up, and then powerful beams of light were launched. This was the planet's orbital defense system firing. The Galactic Empire's warships also continued to evade, while
They fired back at the planet, but all their firepower was blocked by the planet's shield.
The Trade Federation uses the most advanced planetary shield here. When the orbital defense system fires, it does not affect the protection of the planet itself.
The two sides have been shooting each other in the air for a week, and during this time, Darth Vader has been waiting for the fighter he wants.
The two-meter-tall figure wearing black armor and a black cloak stood on the bridge like this, with heavy breathing coming from the respirator. The terrible sense of oppression made every officer and soldier of the Imperial Navy around him stay silent.
"Sir... Including Unit 99, a total of 200 special operations units have been deployed." An officer came over and said.
Darth Vader nodded and said in that dull voice: "Then don't hesitate! Launch an attack immediately!"
Following his order, the huge imperial fleet immediately turned on its engines, shields, and firepower! Densely packed turbolaser cannons and missiles were launched in the direction of the planet. Not only that, after advancing thousands of kilometers and entering the range,
Plasma cannons specially designed to fight against shields also opened fire. Countless plasma clusters containing powerful electromagnetic pulses fell on the planetary shield, causing countless water-like energy ripples.
Sensing the movements of the Imperial fleet, the orbital defense system on the planet also opened fire with all its strength. Not only that, the warships that had been hidden in the planet's atmosphere also rushed out and fired wildly at the Imperial fleet.
Generosity-class frigates, Divine Providence-class destroyers, Victory I-class Star Destroyers, Victory II-class Star Destroyers, Behemoth-class battlecruisers, Cole-class battlecruisers, and all kinds of battleships began to appear from the planet's atmosphere.
These are the assets accumulated by the Trade Federation over the years, and now they are ready to fight to the death with the Galactic Empire!
Darth Vader commanded the fleet to launch a resolute attack. Under his command, the fleet was efficient and ruthless, like a sharp knife, constantly tearing apart the planet's defenses.
But such attacks have little effect!
It's still the same reason - the planet is rotating. If you don't enter the synchronous orbit and just stand still and attack, then the orbital defense system currently engaged in fierce combat with the fleet will soon move to the other side of the planet, and then the defense forces will have a whole day.
Time to repair and prepare. When it is turned around again, it will be in perfect condition again!
However, Darth Vader was determined to achieve his goal no matter what! He strictly ordered all warships to use full firepower and concentrate their attacks on one point. Finally, despite countless firepower and the cost of destroying more than 20 battleships, he finally
Open a gap!
Taking advantage of the extremely short period of time when the planetary shield was restored, a Cheer-class assault landing ship, under the cover of 10 Victory II-class Star Destroyers, headed directly into the planet's atmosphere!
This Cheer-class assault landing ship simply rushed in with a certain death mentality, and the other 10 Victory II-class Star Destroyers had no intention of living.
The powerful orbital defense firepower on the planet Cato-Neimoidia almost shredded the deflector shield of the Cheer class in a short time, but the landing ship still launched all the orbital drop pods at the last moment!
…
Boom! Boom! Boom!!! The three orbital drop cabins fell to the ground. At the moment they touched the ground, the bottom of the orbital drop cabin exploded. Relying on the reverse thrust of the explosion, the speed was reduced. At the same time, the drop cabin disintegrated on all sides, allowing the crew inside to escape for the first time.
Come out at once.
From the three drop pods, more than 20 clone soldiers wearing iron-gray polymer alloy armor ran out.
"Don't stay! Get out of here as soon as possible!" Hunter, the commander of Clone Force No. 99, greeted loudly, "Sight, establish a sniper position immediately and observe the surroundings!"
As he spoke, he quickly counted the members of his team. There were nine in total. They included the original members Zixing, Clearance King, Technician, and Echo, as well as the members Tiehe, Huzi, Yezi, and Rainbow who were later recruited in the second phase.
Among them, Huzi, Ye Ye and Rainbow had participated in previous military operations on the planet Harunkar, and their cerebral cortex showed signs of activity. Research shows that they may have awakened due to the special environment on the planet Harunkar.
A certain degree of force.
Iron Box, on the other hand, was a medic who performed outstandingly in the battle of the Blade Fleet.
"You! Which unit are you from?" The hunter looked at the other two soldiers coming off the orbital drop capsule and asked loudly.
"We were originally affiliated with the 212th Attack Battalion and were the 118th Special Operations Team!" one of them said.
"Originally belongs to the 501st Legion, this time is the 47th team!" said the soldier in another airborne pod.
"You have reduced your numbers." The hunter looked at the several corpses in the airborne capsule and said, "If there are not enough people, reorganize yourself to ensure survival! Now, we need to separate and perform our own tasks!"
"yes!"
