11BBY, August 4, 19:00 in the evening, Dawn Planet Supreme Operations Headquarters.
"Urgent call from Planet Rendili!" An officer quickly ran to the deputy chief of staff and handed him a document.
The deputy chief of staff briefly looked at the miniature holographic projection, his expression changed, and he immediately turned and walked into the office of Chief of General Staff Qi Jian, "General Staff, there is an urgent call from Planet Lundili!"
After Qi Jian read the document, he immediately pressed the button to convene a military meeting remotely. Holographic projections of senior military generals from various fields appeared in front of the desk.
"Admiral Trench, who is guarding the planet Rendili, sent an urgent call. The Galactic Empire may not have launched an attack through the hyperspace channel!" Qi Jian said in a solemn voice with a solemn expression.
"Not through the hyperspace channel? What method is that? Using a sublight engine?" Karls-Wharton frowned.
"It is also possible that they first used the hyperspace channel to sail to the vicinity of the Rendily System, and then used the sublight engine to sail." Defense Minister Cheng Shitao said, "This is not right. As long as they use hyperspace navigation, they will definitely be attacked by hyperspace.
Outpost detected."
"Warp speed navigation is the only possibility." Ling Liang insisted, "The Galactic Empire has been fighting the Geth for so many years. It is not surprising to find some warp speed technology fragments from some Geth warships that raided the empire's rear.
In addition, considering the current technological reserves of the Galactic Empire, it is not difficult to develop warp speed navigation."
"The Geth has restrained a quarter of the Imperial fleet for us, but is the Empire also learning from the Geth at the same time..." Qi Jian frowned.
"Then the question now is, how to detect the specific location of the Galactic Empire fleet? Is there any way to counter it?" Ling Liang asked rhetorically.
Cheng Shitao shook his head and replied: "Warp speed navigation cannot be effectively detected."
"Then the question now becomes, is the Galactic Empire really using warp speed to attack the planet Rendili? Couldn't it be the planet Eriadu? The planet Yago-Dur?" Qi Jian said.
"This can only be speculated." Ling Liang said: "We can only assume that the Galactic Empire has not mastered higher-level warp engine technology, and at the same time, they cannot modify more warships in a short period of time. Therefore, if the Empire wants
To attack the planet Eriadu and Yago-Dur, they will definitely gather through the hyperspace channel first, so they may be discovered by us. Therefore, the best and most covert method is still Lundili
Planet.”
"In the end, we still only have speculations and don't have any definite information." Qi Jian sighed, "How about it? Do we want to take the initiative to attack?"
"A proactive attack would be detrimental to us in terms of public opinion. I suggest waiting until the main fleet of the Galactic Empire appears before reacting," Helmut Zemo said.
Ling Liang also nodded in agreement, "I also think we should continue to wait. If we launch an attack now according to Operation Plan Zero and run into it when the movement of the empire's main fleet is unknown, it will be a disaster."
Qi Jian nodded, "Indeed, before we open up the situation, our attack directions are still only in the two directions of the planet Eriadu and the planet Yago-Dur. The chance of encountering the main fleet of the Galaxy Empire is very high. So.
It’s been decided, and I’ll send a telegram to General Trench to hold the position firmly and make no mistakes!”

11BBY, August 4th at 22:00, Rendili Planet Command Center.
"Planet Dawn, decided, stand still...don't move...tsk tsk tsk tsk..." Admiral Trench stroked the chelicerae at the corner of his mouth and said slowly, "They think it is possible for the Galactic Empire to use curvature... navigation technology. tsk tsk tsk..."
Tsk tsk...Immediately imitate the empire's possible strategy. Tsk tsk tsk tsk..."
"Roger!" The tactical robot on the side nodded, and its electronic eyes immediately began to flash rapidly. A moment later, it said in a flat and rigid electronic voice: "After 5,700 combat simulations, the Imperial fleet has a 79% chance of bypassing the outer defense line and attacking the planet directly.
Orbital Defenses.”
Lieutenant General Malcolm Granger, who was standing aside, nodded and said: "I feel the same way. I suggest that all the vulture robot fighters patrolling outside be recalled immediately. If the Galactic Empire uses warp navigation technology to directly raid, our peripheral defense line will
It will be in vain.”
Air Force General Malcolm Granger from "Command and Conquer: Generals" is very good at commanding fighter formations. In this battle on the planet Rendilli, he served as Admiral Trench's aide-de-camp.
However, Admiral Trench gently tapped the holographic star map with his pointer and said slowly: "No, it has no effect. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk... It will take at least... a month to bring the robot fighter back. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk...
It’s not necessary.”
He thought for a while and ordered: "Let all the vulture robots and fighter planes... go to the nearest planet base. Tsk tsk tsk tsk. Harass the logistics transportation of the imperial fleet."
Malcolm Granger nodded in agreement, "This is a good idea, I will arrange it immediately."
The 150,000 Vulture robot fighters patrolling the Rendili system were basically recovered from various places. Including those stocks that had not been fully used after the collapse of the Confederation of Independent Systems, most of them were later taken over by the Principality of Dawn.
Like the B-1 combat robot, the Vulture robot fighter is also a cheap and high-quality automated combat weapon. However, in this era, this kind of robot fighter faces the V-wing Alpha-Holy Light fighter currently in service in the Galactic Empire, and the TIE/LN light fighter
The fighter jets have completely fallen behind.
In face-to-face air battles, the Vulture robot fighter jets that could once compete with the V-19 Torrent fighter jets and Z-95 Headhunter fighter jets are now only being slaughtered. That’s why they were defeated by the defense of the planet Rendili.
The troops were received and carried out patrol missions in large numbers.
As mentioned before, there are a total of 9 planets in the Rendili galaxy, and the Rendili planet is located at the third. Planetary bases are set up on the six outer planets. Although the scales are basically not very large, considering this number
If the giant vulture robot fighters are concentrated, they can still threaten the logistics transportation of the imperial fleet.
…
While Admiral Trench began to carefully adjust his defense deployment, the Galactic Empire finally showed its fangs!
At 10:20 a.m. on August 5, the Galactic Empire's diplomatic spokesperson Kruja Van Delon held a press conference and publicly declared that Rendili Interstellar Power Company had a large number of corruption problems and had embezzled a huge amount of Galactic Republic assets!
As the successor of the Galactic Republic, the Galactic Empire has the responsibility to recover these lost assets and will impose the harshest sanctions on the evil Lendilli Star Power Company! (End of this chapter)
