The emergence of the planetary shield gave Mal-Took a blow!
When he made the decision to attack the planet Akania, he first had a premise, that is, he had to capture the planet Akania within a short period of time. In this way, he could redeploy his fleet as soon as possible and use the planet Akania as the new planet.
's base.
With the logistical support of Arkania, he can fight Thrawn's fleet to the death.
Because even if he could only get partial supplies on the planet Arkania, the combined merchant fleet he led was stronger than Thrawn's dilapidated fleet.
The planet Arkania is a mining planet. Generally, it is impossible to install a planetary shield on such a planet. It is just a resource planet. Even if there are some factories, they are all to save transportation costs.
, processed on-site. Moreover, there are some weapons and material reserves and arsenals on the planet. The main purpose of these is to suppress the miners' uprising.
The reconnaissance and scanning results of the previous reconnaissance aircraft sent to the planet Arkania also confirmed this. This planet does not have a planetary shield, nor any defense facilities such as an armed space station.
Therefore, to capture Arkania, Mal-Took believed that it would only take three days at most. As long as his elite marines launched a landing, they could quickly destroy the planet's highest administrative body. They could even launch a miners' uprising to make those
The oppressed miners came together to resist imperial rule.
Among Mar-Tuk's marines, there are more than 2,000 elite Kali warriors and 100 Inchori warriors. These are the top elite forces in the galaxy! Those who were organized to suppress the miners
The Imperial Guards are completely vulnerable.
But now, everything is in vain!
There is no doubt that in order to defeat his commercial fleet, the Galactic Empire did not hesitate to spend a lot of money. Not only did it abandon the fortress planet Birbrin that had been in operation for hundreds of years, but it also built more than a dozen temporary military bases in a short period of time.
Use it once and throw it away. It even installed an extremely expensive planetary shield on a mining planet!
These actions were all accomplished within the nearly one month that was obtained after abandoning the Bilbulin planet.
Even though the building of the Galactic Empire is leaking and crumbling, the once magnificent and magnificent buildings are still shining brightly under the death knell of doomsday.
At the same time that Mal-Took ordered the orbital bombardment, Thrawn also issued the order to attack. The main mobile fleet of the empire in the north was dispatched immediately!
There are 140 Imperial-class Star Destroyers, 220 Victory II-class Star Destroyers, and more than 900 small and medium-sized battleships. Compared to Mal-Turk's Merchant Combined Fleet, which has 50 capital ships, 380 heavy cruisers, and more than 3,000 small and medium-sized battleships
In terms of strength, both quantity and quality are very worrying.
But it was such a fleet that locked up the commercial combined fleet's final chance of victory!
On February 23, at 10 a.m. Galaxy Standard Time, the Imperial Fleet arrived at the outskirts of the Arkania system and immediately began deploying hyperspace blockers.
The deployment of the hyperspace blocker requires the Commercial Combined Fleet to break through the blockade of the Imperial Fleet in order to clear the blocker and turn on the hyperspace engine to return to the planet Palansi.
Admiral Mal-Took immediately ordered to abandon the planet Arkania, and the fleet turned to face the direction of the imperial fleet and sail in the opposite direction along the orbit of the planet Arkania. At the same time, he deployed the fleet formation into an arrow shape.
The plan of this formation is very obvious, which is to forcefully break through the blockade of the Imperial fleet, destroy the hyperspace blocker, and then return to the planet Palancy.
At the same time, he also sent a request for help to the rear, asking the rear to organize a fleet to go to the planet Palancy as soon as possible to respond.
When the news came out, the current governor of the Trade Alliance, Lot Dude, immediately connected to Qi Jian, the chief of general staff of the Kingdom of Dawn, and at the same time contacted San Hill, the co-chairman of the Interstellar Banking Association (M), and Gross, the top director of the Fourth Group.
-Shelbia sent an urgent request for help.
Almost immediately, the fleet that had stayed behind on the Bilbulin planet to continue clearing the armed asteroids immediately turned around and headed towards the Palancy planet.
At the same time, a new fleet also began to assemble on the planet Mequito. The Geth, the Interstellar Banking Association (M), the Trade Federation, and the Fourth Group, the main forces of the Kingdom of Dawn in the north, successively
I took out all the fleet I had at the bottom of the box.
It is expected that it will take at least a week for the new fleet to assemble and deploy to the planet Bilbulin. The fleet commander has identified the new generation general of the Kali people, Major General Ben Tiras-San-Skar, the "Slaughterer" (beginning in Chapter 1223)
In the plot of ", he killed Master Saas-Tin who invaded the planet of Kali, and received the highest military honor of the Kali people - Izvoshra).
And this week is Admiral Maltuk’s lifeline!
On February 23, at 19:00 pm Galaxy Standard Time, the battle for the planet Arkania officially started.
This is an extremely brutal battle. The Commercial United Fleet is fighting for survival. Since they entered the planet Palance, they have gone through more than ten battles, but have not received much replenishment. The fleet's supplies have long been bottomed out. Now they
Only the last bit of supplies was left to support them in fighting a small-scale battle.
But if the battle continues, what awaits them will be that they will run out of ammunition and food! All advanced warships will turn into useless iron coffins!
By that time, they will all become lambs to be slaughtered!
As for the Imperial fleet led by Thrawn, they had experienced two previous defeats, and many battleships were indeed in dilapidated condition. Moreover, during the previous period when he accompanied Mal-Took's fleet in circles, his battleships had added new ones.
Due to more consumption and damage, although those temporary military bases have sufficient supplies, those damaged warships can only perform the most basic maintenance work.
Therefore, this imperial fleet is also a remnant force.
Did Thrawn's remnant army finally block Mal-Took's offensive and finally trapped them completely? Or did Mal-Took break through Thrawn's blockade and return to the planet Palansi to escape?
And once Thrawn fails to win, his guilt for abandoning the planet Bilbreen will immediately be suppressed. By then, I am afraid that even Dunn Wessex will not be able to save him! The only thing waiting for him is the cold stone of the Imperial Tribunal.
Interrogation room!
This is a battle that neither side can afford to lose!
Mal-Took launched an attack using his flagship Neimoidia as an arrow! Although the Neimoidia is a castrated version of the Infinity-class super aircraft carrier, it does not have the triple particle light spear installed on the bow, nor does it have the Forerunner.
It has a technological hyperspace engine, but other parts have not been reduced at all. It is still a super battleship with extremely powerful firepower!
The original five super-large mass accelerators installed on the bow of the Neimoidia opened fire immediately, launching huge metal projectiles with extremely terrifying power!
This shot also kicked off the battle.
The commercial combined fleet desperately attacked, while the imperial fleet fought desperately to intercept, risking everything!
With the assistance of tactical robots, Admiral Mal-Took put all his knowledge into play, constantly adjusted the offensive formation, and launched attacks from all directions according to the changes in the formation of the imperial fleet.
Thrawn stood in front of the holographic battle star map, calm and composed, but his hands and mouth kept giving instructions.
Under his command, the thousands of battleships of the Imperial Fleet seemed to be alive, covering alternately, weaving in and out, and cooperating with each other tacitly, as if a huge net completely enveloped the Commercial Combined Fleet.
Not only the Imperial fleet on the front, but also more Galactic Empire battleships are coming from the planet Arkania and from several other hyperspace lanes. Most of these battleships are light cruisers.
It was the warships that Thrawn had left behind to harass the fleet before, and now they have completed the task of harassing them and joined in the final decisive battle.
…
At this moment, on the bridge of the flagship of the Commercial Combined Fleet, the Neimoidia.
"This stupid Neimoidian has finally brought us to a desperate situation!!" Jedi Knight Ferrus Orin cursed angrily.
"That guy who didn't listen to advice went his own way. We shouldn't have forced the attack on the planet Arkania in the first place." Jax Pawan also shook his head and complained.
Luminara Anduli raised her hand and pressed it gently, saying: "What we need now is not to complain. During this period of time, I watched the entire battle command of General Mar-Tuk.
Although the decision made is radical, it cannot be said to be wrong."
As she said that, she sighed, "The reason why we are in such a desperate situation is because the commander of the empire is one step ahead in every decision-making step and predicts all our actions. In the opponent's army, there should also be
The strong ones in the Force make it impossible for me to predict their movements through the Force."

"Isn't this just a gap in ability? This guy Mal Touk is simply a fool!" Ferrus Olin was still complaining.
In fact, according to the standards of the former Jedi Order, his temperament is no longer suitable for being a Jedi Knight. He did withdraw from the Jedi Order for a time and wanted revenge. But he was also extremely talented, even though he was almost blinded by revenge.
, unexpectedly did not fall to the dark side, so he later returned to the New Jedi Order.
(In the setting, this guy’s talent is second only to Anakin Skywalker, and he is the most talented among the new generation of the Jedi Order.)
Jax Pawan shook his head and stopped talking. Complaints are complaints. Compared to Ferrus Olin, who quit the Jedi Order halfway through, he participated in the entire Clone War, so he understood
Yes, the Neimoidian who is now commanding the fleet is definitely not a mediocre person!
On the contrary, he is a very good general!
Being able to play Mal-Took, the general who defeated the Galactic Republic/Galactic Empire many times, like a child, the opposite Imperial commander, the Lieutenant General named Thrawn, is simply terrifyingly powerful!
Luminara Anduli took the two of them to the command center, where Mal Took was giving various instructions quickly.
"Formulate a high-speed assault fleet immediately, numbered as the Fourth High-speed Fleet! Complete the formation within 5 minutes and outflank the UO-449 area!"
"The anti-aircraft warships strengthen the right wing and monitor the empire's fighter formations at all times! We cannot let them cover the bombers approaching us!"
"No! No! No! The G-77 area must be blocked! It must be blocked! I don't care what method you use... I know there are 10 Imperial-class ships on the opposite side! But you must block it! There is no reason!"
"The First Squadron will break through the T-42 area for me one more time!... That's right! Regardless of the loss!... That's enough! I don't care if you can still fire the Yamato cannon, in short, the T-42 area must open a gap! I will do it again
I’ll bring you 10 Minotaur-class heavy cruisers!”
In the entire command center, there are hundreds of staff officers, who are also constantly discussing and working, and submitting their summarized opinions and plans. The electronic eyes of the two T-series tactical robots are constantly flashing, apparently constantly monitoring the fleet.
Each battleship among them issued orders.
Luminara Anduli did not directly interrupt Mal-Took, but said to the tactical robot on the side: "Please tell General Mal-Took that we are always on standby."
When Maltuk heard this voice, he immediately turned around. He had no more words, but said seriously: "Now I have two areas that are very important! The attack in the T-42 area is blocked. If we can't break through, I will
The square formation will not be able to unfold! We are also under great pressure in the G-77 area. If we cannot resist the attack of the imperial fleet, part of our formation may be cut off!"
He punched the console hard and said, "You go ahead and attack. As for where to go, you can decide for yourself."
After saying that, he continued his combat command.
Luminara Anduli nodded, turned to the other two people and said: "Olin, Pawan, you will lead a fighter formation respectively to the G-77 area and the T-42 area to assist Mal Touk
The admiral has accomplished his mission. I will stay here..."
She frowned, "I have a very bad feeling... it will happen on this battleship."
"I understand, Master Anduli. Then, I will go to Area G-77." Jax Pawan nodded.
"Huh! We have to wipe our butts in the end. Leave the T-42 area to me." Ferus Olin waved his hand and walked towards the hangar platform.
…
The fighter formations led by the Jedi Knights once again appeared on the battlefield. Just as it had happened countless times before, they relied on their Force precognition to become uninhabited on the battlefield. Ferrus-Olin even entered the battlefield after
In less than ten minutes, they seized the opportunity to cut into the rear of a damaged Imperial-class Star Destroyer and launched a proton torpedo, successfully paralyzing the Imperial-class Star Destroyer.
At the same time, a black TIE improved fighter formation was flying towards the flagship of the Commercial Combined Fleet, the Neimoidia at high speed!
This black TIE improved fighter formation is also extremely fast and flexible. Even guard-class air defense destroyers cannot stop their progress!
