11BBY, August 3. Dawn Planet, the capital of Dawn Principality, Supreme Combat Command, Conference Room 03.
"Planet Lundili! It's Planet Lundili!!" Minister of Defense Cheng Shitao poked at the holographic star map and said in a deep voice: "We cannot detect the military movements of the Galactic Empire because their current fleet, all
Gather at the center of the empire!!"
"This matter has basically been determined. But the question is, how do they plan to fight? And how many warships have they mobilized?" Acting Navy Commander-in-Chief Carls Wharton frowned, "Is there any response from the hyperspace outpost?
?”
Saratan Moss, Minister of Military Intelligence, said: "It is very difficult to monitor the hyperspace fluctuations in the center of the empire. Fortunately, the center of the empire has a population of one trillion, so we still have many informants inside. According to the information we currently control,
Judging from the news, there are no signs of large-scale fleet assembly around the center of the empire."
"Where did the fleet that withdrew from the Trade Federation go?" Model Sector Governor Volgograd-Kanidi asked.
"After the renovation was completed at the shipyard in the center of the empire, he left immediately. The severely damaged warship also went to the planet Kuat for repairs, and left immediately after the completion. There was no sign of gathering at all." Saratan Moss's face was very ugly.
As the Minister of Intelligence, losing control of the location of the Empire's main fleet was a major dereliction of duty on his part.
"So, where did their fleet go? Recently, the empire reduced the strength of its border garrison. Where are the warships that were withdrawn?" Army Commander-in-Chief Xian Hui rubbed the bridge of his nose and put out the cigarette butt on the ashtray.
The ashtray was already full of cigarette butts.
"It could be anywhere. But...it's certainly not among the currently known military bases." Saratan Moss replied.
"Where is the rebel army? How many imperial warships are participating in the extermination of the rebel army now?" Ling Liang asked.
"The rebels are not willing to share military intelligence with us. We can only calculate based on the existing intelligence. Currently, there are about 1,400 main imperial warships participating in suppressive operations in various places. The number of warships stationed in the north to resist the geth is
The reduction is about 2,500 ships. There are 1,000 garrisons on Fondo planet and Kira planet respectively. There are about 3,900 warships used for training and undergoing renovation. There are about 1,800 warships in garrison status. Therefore, the number of warships lost now
The number of traced warships is around 3,000." Saratan Moss replied, "Even excluding the inaccurate part of our monitoring, I am afraid that at least 1,000 capital ships of the empire are missing."
Chief of General Staff Qi Jian shook his head, then looked at Severance Tann, who had come to Dawn Planet to attend the meeting, and asked: "What do you think? General Tann."
"If I were in charge, my fleet would have already started attacking while you were suspicious." Severance Tann said coldly, "And the commander-in-chief of the opponent is Darth Vader. With him,
If you have a different style, you will make the same choice. Attack, attack again.”
"If the empire has launched an attack, where are they?" Qi Jian knocked on the table, feeling very irritated. "To what extent are the defense preparations for the planet Rendili?"
"Admiral Trench has arrived at Rendili Planet, and all warships and defense systems have entered combat mode." Cheng Shitao replied, "The remaining question now is where the enemy is. I have asked Admiral Trench to expand the investigation
It’s within range.”
Severance Tann suddenly said: "Continue to expand! Expand the scope of exploration to several unmanned galaxies around the Rendili galaxy!"
Cheng Shitao nodded, "Okay. I'll make arrangements."
…
On the afternoon of August 4th, Rendili Planet Command Center.
"I need...the reconnaissance team to report every hour! Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk..." Admiral Trench stroked the chelicerae near his mouth with both hands, while the other hand held a pointer and tapped his palm lightly.
Sometimes his movements always make people feel that having six hands means he is willful.
"Yes!" A naval officer of the Principality of Dawn stood at attention and saluted, and then immediately made arrangements.
"Hmm..." Admiral Trench narrowed his eyes, looked at the holographic battle star map, and pondered.
Rendili Planet, since Rendili Interstellar Power Company betrayed the Galactic Republic and joined the Fourth Civilization, this planet has been heavily fortified. And the outermost edge of this defense line is a huge number of hyperspace blockers.
These hyperspace blockers first block all major hyperspace channels connected to the planet. All ships that want to enter the Rendili planet must first leave hyperspace in front of the hyperspace blockers, and they will only get it after applying.
Temporarily authorized to enter the blocker range. Then make an ultra-short jump to the outer reaches of the planet.
Moreover, in order to prevent enemy fleets from emerging from some temporary hyperspace channels, more than 10 billion blockers were deployed on the periphery of the entire galaxy, almost surrounding the entire galaxy.
Coupled with the fact that there are more than 70,000 hyperspace outposts deployed around it, it can be said that any fluctuations will be difficult to escape monitoring.
These peripheral defense facilities can buy Rendili planet at least three to seven days and make it impossible for the enemy to hide.
Then inside the galaxy, there are patrols of as many as 150,000 Vulture robot fighters equipped with special reconnaissance equipment. These robot fighters do not have hyperspace engines and rely entirely on sublight speed engines to slowly fly to patrol positions. They are all robots anyway.
Time doesn't matter at all.
After that, there are monitoring facilities and defense facilities built on those planets.
There are a total of 9 planets in the Lundili system, of which Lundili is the third planet. Monitoring equipment and even certain orbital defense weapons have been built on the 6 outer planets.
At the end, there is the final defense system around the planet Rendili.
It can be said that among the defenses in this chain, the planet Rendili is completely indestructible. It is impossible to imagine that any fleet has the ability to capture this place! And under the combined effect of these defense systems, the planet Rendili will always have sufficient defenses.
preparation time.
But the thing is...the enemy is out there...
Admiral Trench looked at the defense system of the galaxy over and over again, thinking over and over again.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on the Vulture robots that were patrolling the galaxy with sublight engines. His eyes suddenly shrank, he slapped the table and shouted: "No! The Imperial fleet does not pass through hyperspace channels.
Coming to attack!! Notify Dawn Planet immediately!!"
…
At the same time, in an unknown space, an extremely large fleet was sailing silently.
This fleet is extremely large in number, and all of them are capital ships, reaching a terrifying 700 ships! At least half of them are extremely powerful Empire-class Star Destroyers, and some also include Chaser-class aircraft carriers and Victory II-class Star Destroyers.
There are even battleships like the Commander II-class Dreadnought, and an extremely large flat battleship - the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer!
On the extremely luxurious bridge of this Executor-class super Star Destroyer, a man wearing pitch black armor and a black cloak stood quietly in the center. Under the completely closed helmet, heavy breathing could be heard...
"Huh...chih...huh...chih...huh...chih..." (End of this chapter)
