Tang Xiao proclaimed himself king, and the Dawn Principality was reorganized into the Kingdom of Dawn. This explosive news meant that nothing could be changed for the Galaxy Empire.
In fact, when the Liming Principality was established 10 years ago, there were already signs of a complete rift, but at that time Tang Xiao still left some leeway and just called himself Grand Duke without going any further. Compared to him, at that time,
Count Dooku, who tried to reorganize the Confederacy of Independent Systems into the Federation and claimed to be the head of state, dealt an even greater blow to the Galactic Republic.
So after that, when the Principality of Dawn and the Galactic Empire make separate peace, the two sides can reach an agreement - because the most basic point is that the two parties make peace and the Principality of Dawn surrenders to the Galaxy Empire. This has a prerequisite, and that is Dawn
The Principality is at least within the scope of being able to submit to the Galactic Empire.
To put it bluntly, the Galactic Empire can hold its nose and recognize the title of a Grand Duke. But if it goes further, for example, it is the King of Dawn at that time, then it is impossible. The Galactic Empire cannot accept the title of a king under any circumstances.
This is tantamount to a challenge to Palpatine's own throne!
This throne is different from the kings of many monarchical planets in the Milky Way. This is the king canonized by the Galactic Empire. This meaning runs through the entire galaxy, and is not just a name for oneself on a certain planet.
For example, there are many planets with monarchy systems, not to mention kings, and even emperors can see many of them. However, it is absolutely impossible for the Galactic Republic and the Galactic Empire to be recognized on any official occasion. They can only enjoy themselves on their own planets.
.
Therefore, at that time, Tang Xiao still left a certain amount of room for calling himself Grand Duke. He planned to make peace with Palpatine at that time. But now that he calls himself king, the concept is completely different. This means that he
He has placed himself on an equal footing with Palpatine, and this has destined both parties to end up in a fight to the death, whether openly or privately!
In fact, this is what Tang Xiao did.
The day after he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself king, on August 14, the Kingdom of Dawn launched an all-out attack on the Galactic Empire from multiple directions at the same time!
In the direction of the planet Christophsis, because the control of the Galactic Empire in this remote area has weakened, the planet defense fleet has chosen to take the initiative. After annihilating a patrol fleet of the Galactic Empire before, the fleet now attacks again, but it does not
Instead of advancing towards the hinterland of the Galactic Empire, they chose to march towards the planet Rylos!
The Galactic Empire wanted to rebuild the 14th Army that was destroyed during the Clone Wars. Therefore, after retaking the planet Rylos, the Galactic Empire invested a lot of resources in preparing to rebuild the 14th Army. In fact, this was also the reason why the Galactic Empire wanted to rebuild the 14th Army.
With the planet Rylos as the center, regain control of this star sector.
However, under the destruction of the rebel army, the Galactic Empire's plan to rebuild the 14th Army was shattered. At the same time, as the Galactic Empire went to war against the Trade Federation, the access to the outer ring star area was blocked by the Trade Federation, and the planet Rylos was completely destroyed.
beyond the control of the rebel army.
This time, the planet Christofsis dispatched 40 battleships and more than 200 light cruisers to sweep the planet Rylos and completely eliminate the remaining empire forces in this sector.
The Galactic Empire does have some fleets in this direction that are used to suppress the rebels, and the goal of the fleet on the planet Christophsis is to completely annihilate them.
The person commanding this branch fleet is Lieutenant General Tomwens from "Command and Conquer: Generals", and he also has an adjutant. This adjutant is somewhat mysterious, short, and always wears a mask. Others call him
, "Major General C".
The squadron of the planet Christophsis had a firefight with the Imperial Defense Fleet on the planet Rodia that day.
On the other hand, there is another fleet setting off from the planet Mequito. This is the joint fleet of the Interstellar Banking Association, the Trade Federation and the Fourth Group. The tentative code name of this fleet in the Kingdom of Dawn is the Commercial Combined Fleet.
.
The commercial combined fleet includes more than 200 capital ships, which does not seem to be particularly large, but the number of small and medium-sized warships in this fleet has reached more than 5,000! It is still a huge force.
The Commercial Combined Fleet also did not choose to attack the hinterland of the Galactic Empire. They mainly used small and medium-sized warships. If they attacked the Galactic Empire's defense line, they would suffer heavy losses. Therefore, this fleet had the famous Neimoidian general Admiral Mar-Tuk.
Under the leadership of the police, advance eastward.
Obviously, Admiral Mal-Took's purpose is to first clean up the outer planets of the 8th, 9th, and 10th legions of the Galactic Empire, and then conduct a roundabout outflank.
On the front, the Galactic Empire, under the leadership of General Gilad Pellaeon, built two lines of defense. They were the Birbrin planet defense line in the south and the Palin-Minor planet defense line in the north. These two lines
The solid defense line is defended by tens of thousands of small and medium-sized warships and a full 2,500 battleships, making it an impenetrable defense.
The reason why Admiral Mal-Took dared to face such a huge main fleet of the Galactic Empire and still dared to send his main fleet to make a detour was because his biggest reliance was the Geth!
After several years of development, the geth are now crazy. They are building factories, mining resources, and building warships almost non-stop.
The geth fleet has increased from about 50 ships ten years ago to more than 300 ships. And more than 300 ships are just one of their fleets! How many fleets does the geth have? Now even Tang
Xiao doesn't even know.
The only thing that is clear at the moment is that the geth are attacking the Galactic Empire's defense line almost continuously. They don't gather many troops each time, but their operations are very flexible. They only focus on mobile combat and never compete with the Galactic Empire.
The Empire engages in a fleet battle.
The geth do almost anything on the battlefield. They deceive, disguise, show weakness, and seduce. Their various methods even make people feel that they are not like mechanical life, but more like cunning intelligent creatures.
And the geth have used warp speed technology very extensively, and their attack is very broad. The Galactic Empire's defense line does not even have a rear, because you don't know when a geth fleet will suddenly come from your logistics.
Pops up next to the base.
The biggest difference between geth as mechanical life forms and humans is that as long as there is energy, they have almost unlimited life. And the most important thing is that they can stand by for a long time and do not need food, entertainment, nutritional balance, or morale.
Just stay there.
Compared to Darth Vader's three-month warp voyage in order to raid the planet Rendili, during this process, the boring atmosphere and intense pressure caused the morale of his entire fleet to fall to the bottom, and it was almost unbearable.
The geth do not have this problem. Even if they have been sailing at warp speed for several years, they are still in the same state as when they first set off. Therefore, in order to prevent the geth fleet from sneak attacks everywhere, Gilad Pellaeon can only
Use the stupidest and most effective method - deploy defenses everywhere. Deploy mobile fleets at almost every key point. As soon as you find traces of the geth, rush to your aid immediately.
At the same time, the logistics supply line also keeps changing once a month to prevent the same route from being used for a long time and being directly attacked by the geth.
In order to maintain such a line of defense, the entire northern frontline needs to deploy a huge fleet. When the number of fleets in the northern theater was the largest, it even reached more than 3,500 battleships, close to more than 80,000 small and medium-sized warships!
Therefore, it seems that the Galactic Empire's northern theater has a large number of troops, but in fact they are always in a state of losing sight of the other, exhausted, and basically incapable of counterattack. And if it were not for the outstanding ability of Gilad Pellaeon, who has been promoted to general.
, this line of defense has long been riddled with holes under the attacks of the Geth from all sides.
In the past 10 years, Gilad Perrine has grown from a major to a general. On the one hand, this is because of Dunn Wessex's exceptional promotion, but on the other hand, it also illustrates his excellent talent!
And seemingly in order to coordinate Admiral Mal-Took's offensive on the northern periphery, the geth also assembled more than 900 warships on the planet Bilbulin, a full three fleets, to prepare for a large-scale attack!
By the way, because the Geth warships do not have internal facilities such as life support systems, living systems, or barracks, their warships are generally very small. Therefore, the Galactic Empire often directly counts the number of Geth fleets, and
It is not like our own side, where the number of thousand-meter battleships and small and medium-sized battleships are calculated separately.
Similarly, in the Mandalorian sector, the Kingdom of Dawn fleet originally stationed on the planet Akiva is now taking the initiative. This fleet is smaller in size, but it has an Infinity-class super aircraft carrier and also has an influence on the Galactic Empire.
A huge threat.
Although Severance Tann is not commanding here now, the command system she left behind can still operate smoothly, and she launched an attack on the Galactic Empire's fleet in the Mandalorian sector.
The Galactic Empire only maintains a small fleet in the Mandalorian sector. It mainly monitors the situation in the Mandalorian sector and does not have the ability to conduct strategic attacks. Now facing the attack led by the Infinity-class super aircraft carrier,
This imperial fleet is also facing catastrophe!
However, the disaster was not over yet for the Galactic Empire.
On August 15th, the planet Mingban occupied by the Galactic Empire was attacked by a huge fleet, and according to intelligence, this fleet actually came from Hutt space!
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Galactic Empire immediately severely questioned the current ruler of the Hutts, Oruba Gorensla, but Oruba Gorensla stated that the fleet belonged to the remnants of the Confederation of Independent Systems.
There was nothing he could do about it, and he did not dare to take any hostile action against the fleet.
Moreover, Oruba Gorensla innocently stated that if the Galactic Empire could annihilate these nasty remnants of separatism, then he would even be willing to cash in a substantial bounty to the Galactic Empire.
As for the commander of the fleet that raided the planet Mingban, no one currently knows his specific identity. They only know that he has a title-"The Butcher of the Planet Baraboo"!
This is not over yet. After Tang Xiao declared himself king, the planet Dark suddenly jumped out. The Quarren rebuilt the Free Dark Volunteer Engineering Corps and organized a fleet to head towards the largest industry in the once independent system confederation.
Center - Port Parment, launch an attack!
This wave of offensive by the Quarren is very strange, because they seem to have been reinforced by fleets from other places, and the number of capital ships has reached 100! The intelligence department of the Galaxy Empire is intensively conducting reconnaissance, trying to figure out the Quarren
Where did the human fleet come from?
However, the Quarren's rebellion was not all smooth sailing. Their actions were severely opposed by the Mon Calamari on the planet. For example, the original commander of this fleet planned to let the Mon Calamari general Acker
led by General Akbar, but General Akbar refused the appointment.
The Mon Calamari firmly opposed re-entering the war, and stated that it was because of the Quarren's wrong side during the Clone Wars that the planet Darkh eventually became a defeated planet and was severely sanctioned by the Galactic Empire.
Now the Quarren want to jump up and join the war again, and again they want to resist the extremely powerful Galactic Empire? The Mon Calamari believe that this time, the Quarren are still on the wrong team, and this time, they may give Dak
The planet brings disaster!
However, now with the support of the Kingdom of Dawn, the Quarren's power on the Dark planet far exceeds that of the Mon Calamari, so the situation on the Dark planet is relatively stable now.
There are three main reasons why Quarren people dare to jump back at this time.
The first is that they actually have secret support from the Given people. As mentioned before, the Given people have secretly begun to build the Star Gate and immigrated to the planet Losar. They also brought a huge shipyard from the Star Gate.
and factories, and a fleet. This fleet was the reinforcement the Quarren received.
Second, the planet Dark is located in a remote location. After the war between the Galactic Empire and the Trade Federation, the empire's control over the outer ring of the galaxy further declined. Therefore, although the planet Dark is also closely monitored by the Galactic Empire, this monitoring is not
It was very fragile and was easily cleaned up by the Quarren.
And the last and most critical point is that the epic victory of Planet Kira gave the Quarren people great confidence. They firmly believe that this time will be the end of the Galactic Empire! Their resistance will surely lead to final victory!
Not only the Dark planet, but also the Laxus sub-planet, Semires planet, Felucia planet, Geonosis planet, which were the core planets of the independent system federation, have also raised anti-flags and launched uprisings.
One thing these planets have in common is that although they were defeated, they believed that it was only Count Dooku's defeat, but not the failure of separatism.
Because Planet Dawn is still standing! (End of this chapter)
