"Planet Palin-Minor?" Colonel Rael Benting frowned and said: "General, I don't think the separatists have the ability to attack the planet Palin-Minor. In addition to the powerful orbital defense system on that planet,
In addition to the planetary shield, there is also an artificial atmosphere... This kind of defense alone is enough to withstand the offensive of any of their fleets."
The artificial atmosphere was built by the Galactic Republic based on the unique atmospheric composition of the Palin-Minor planet. It is part of the planetary defense system. The processed artificial atmosphere can isolate all detection methods and neutralize most of the
Energy weapon attacks can even control the atmospheric composition of a local area, instantly suffocating people in a city to death!
The planet Palin-Minor was a fortress planet during the Galactic Republic. Compared to the planet Birbrin, which was used to block the passage to the unknown star field, and the planet Oud-Mantle, which was used as a forward military base, Palin
-The positioning of the planet Minor is directly the core fulcrum of the entire northern war zone!
This strategic position determines the extremely high defense level of the planet Palin-Minor! During the Clone Wars, the Galactic Republic installed a weather controller here to generate an artificial atmosphere. When needed, the weather controller can
The atmosphere is artificially modified by picometer-sized mechanical particles dispersed in the atmosphere.
After Dunn-Wessex served as the governor of the Ninth Army, this was the headquarters of the King in the North. Naturally, he never hesitated to use the most expensive and advanced facilities to protect himself.
Countless orbital defense cannons, the most powerful planetary shield, and a fortress-like satellite with a diameter of 700 kilometers constitute the invincible defense system of the Palin-Minor planet.
If the invincible defense of Planet Fangduo relies on the terrifying industrial production capacity of the planet itself, then Planet Palin-Minor is a super fortress built with countless money spent.
It may be difficult for others to do this, but for Dunn Wessex, King of the North, there is no problem at all.
He currently controls four legions in the north, and has a powerful force second only to the Empire's Central Defense Fleet and Darth Vader's Death Squadron. At the same time, he also has a profound influence on the Quat Power Dockyard, making this the largest military-industrial complex in the galaxy.
Ti Lai built this super fortress for him.
During the Clone Wars, when the Galactic Republic's defense system had not yet been formed, the Confederacy of Independent Systems launched a raid on the planet Palin-Minor, only to suffer a disastrous defeat. The fleet of the Interstellar Banking Association was preparing to orbit.
When it bombed and landed on the planet's surface, it was completely cut off from all sensor detection by the artificial atmosphere. Then countless orbital defense firepower poured out, and the Republic battleships lurking in the atmosphere also swooped over.
So in that short battle, the Galactic Republic relied on the defense system of the Palin-Minor planet and the backward Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers to destroy an entire powerful fleet of the Generous-class communications frigates of the Confederation of Independent Systems!
It also caused the Confederation of Independent Systems' power in the north to collapse.
That's why Thrawn's lieutenant Rael Bentin believes that no matter what Severance Tann's plan is, she can't capture the planet Palin Minor.
You must know that the Kingdom of Dawn has just suffered a disastrous defeat in the north, and Tann's fleet is also stretched thin. If he attacks this super fortress, he will probably be killed here.
Even in the heyday of the Northern Commercial Combined Fleet, Admiral Mal-Took only chose to bypass the planet Palin-Minor and attack the Northern Outer Rim Star Region.
However, Thrawn shook his head and said: "No, we must return to defend the planet Palin Minor. The problem we face is not whether Severance Tann can capture it... The problem we face is that Dun
En-Wessex.”
"This..." Rael Benting choked up immediately, and then he just sighed, nodded, and shook his head.
"Send the order to leave a squadron to defend the planet Birbrin, and our main fleet will immediately attack the planet Dorin." After Thrawn finished the order, he frowned and said, "I hope Governor Dunn can understand this step."
Before the fleet set off, Thrawn specifically found his adjutant Voss Parker and said: "The planet Birbrin is handed over to you. You must eliminate the resistance forces on the planet as soon as possible and completely control the planet."
"Please rest assured, General!" Voss-Parker solemnly gave a military salute.
…
On March 8, 10BBY, Thrawn led the main fleet of the Galactic Empire in the north to attack the planet Dorin. The Kingdom of Dawn’s defenders here were part of the previous Merchant United Fleet and were not interested in fighting at all. They were in Severance Tann
Under the command, immediately retreat and return to the planet Grad-Anselm.
Thrawn temporarily stationed his fleet on the planet Dorin. This planet had been bombed into ruins in previous battles and had no other use except as a transit station. However, Thrawn was very at ease stationed here.
Come down and confront Severance Tann's fleet stationed on the planet Ord-Mantle.
He did not intend to engage in a fleet battle with Tann. As always, he had all battleships ready for hyperspace jumps at all times. As long as Severance Tann came to attack, he would immediately retract to the planet Birbrin.
Rely on the complex hyperspace channel environment there to defend.
Thrawn is planning to use this method to hold off Severance Tann as much as possible, preventing her main fleet from attacking the planet Palin Minor. This is also Thrawn's response to Dunn Hvitserk
statement made by Si.
He plans to buy himself more time, because the battleships damaged in previous battles will take at least half a year to be fully repaired and equipped, and he also needs more time to let the Quat Power Shipyard produce more for him.
of battleships.
However, Severance Tann's actions went far beyond that.
On March 9, a squadron of the Kingdom of Dawn's Northern Fleet attacked the planet Agama!
The planet Agama is an inconspicuous agricultural planet. After being attacked by the fleet, it immediately sent a distress message to the rear of the empire, and then issued a surrender letter to the Northern Fleet ten minutes later.
After that, the squadron crossed the planet Agama and cruised in a nebula area in the north of the planet Palin-Minor. By the way, it also picked up a transport fleet that was not receiving information in time and was still on a transportation mission.
The next day, Imperial Admiral Thrawn received an angry communication from Dunn Wessex.
"Our headquarters, the planet Palin Minor, was attacked!" Dunn Wessex was unceremonious and roared at Thrawn, "It's because of your selfish and arrogant so-called strategy. Thank you very much.
!You have allowed our most powerful battleship to do nothing in the ruins of the planet Dorin! Now Severance Tann’s fleet is ready to take advantage of the situation and attack our core!!”
"Please don't panic, Lord Governor Severance Tann has no ability to threaten the planet Palin Minor." Thrawn said calmly.
"Panic? No! I'm not panicking! I'm questioning your stupid strategy!!" Dunn Wessex was angry, he was angry about Thrawn taking away his beloved Executor-class Star Destroyer
I was very reluctant and unhappy about this matter in the first place, but now I seized the opportunity and directly scolded Thrawn.
"I am on the planet Dorin now just to contain Tann's fleet. As long as I am here, Tann cannot threaten the planet Palin-Minor." Thrawn explained.
"Then let me ask you, are you closer to me, or Severance Tann is closer to me?!" Dunn Wessex pointed at Thrawn's nose and said angrily.
"In a physical sense, Tann's fleet is closer to you." Thrawn replied, "But as long as Tann's fleet takes action, I can immediately attack her from both sides."
The current situation between the two sides is indeed like this. Tann, who is stationed on the planet Ord-Mantel, is actually in the middle of the planet Palin-Minor and the planet Dorin where Thrawn's fleet is located. This is why Tann's plan this time
The wonderful thing about the formation was that it looked like she was being attacked from both sides by the Galactic Empire, but in fact it prevented the two forces of the Empire from reinforcing each other. More importantly, it made Dunn suspicious of Thrawn.
Dunn Wessex was already very angry about Emperor Palpatine's decision to directly appoint Thrawn as the supreme military commander in the North, and he also vented his anger on Thrawn because of this, believing that Thrawn was selling out.
Seeking glory. Regarding this situation, Dunn-Wessex pointed the finger at Thrawn without hesitation.
Because Dunn Wessex naturally knew that Severance Tann had brought the unknown Titan battleship this time. Of course, he was also afraid of being directly bombarded by this Titan battleship. But his most powerful
The battleship Lila, the Executor-class Star Destroyer, was taken away by Thrawn, which made him feel no sense of security at all.
At the same time, it also strengthened his belief that Thrawn was trying to trap him.
Bang! Dunn slapped his hand on the table and said angrily: "So, do you mean to use me as a human shield?!"
"I assure you that the planet Palin-Minor is absolutely safe." Thrawn replied very seriously.
"And what you are using to guarantee is the final line of defense that I have worked so hard to build! Do you know what the final line of defense means?!" Dunn yelled.
"It literally means - an impenetrable line of defense." Thrawn's tone gradually turned cold. He gave a military salute and said, "The above is the report of this battle. It's over."
After saying that, Dunn-Wessex cut off the communication without even waiting for him to speak.
Check out the correct version one by one!
…
Bang! A precious sculpture of a famous artist was smashed to pieces on the ground. Dunn Wessex shouted loudly in front of the dark holographic projection in his office: "Thawn! You traitor!!"
…
"I can imagine that Dunn is absolutely mad now." Arden-Lin stood behind Thrawn and said sarcastically.
"That's all I can do for him." Thrawn replied, "Tane will not attack the planet Palin-Minor, or in other words, she will not do so before she destroys our mobile fleet."
"So, what should we do if Tann really attacks the planet Palin Minor?" Arden Lin asked.
"Let her fight. This way I can cut off her supply line, observe the combat data of the Titan battleship, and then attack from both front and back," Thrawn said.
Arden Lin burst out laughing, "It seems like you really use Dunn as a human shield?"
"This is a helpless move." Thrawn shook his head, he raised two fingers and said: "There are only two pieces of information we know about that Titan battleship. First, that battleship is called the Angel-class Titan battleship.
Second, the size of the battleship is 13,774 meters. Can these two pieces of information ensure that we can defeat it? Absolutely not."
"Oh~~So, you plan to let the planet Palin-Minor show the capabilities and combat data of the Angel-class Titan battleship?" Arden-Lin said.
"Currently, among our forces in the north, there is nothing that can ensure that we can catch the attack of the Archangel-class Titan warship, not even the Executor-class super Star Destroyer. Therefore, there is only the super fortress - the planet Palin-Minor." Suo
Long said.
"If Dunn knew your plan, he wouldn't let you go."
"I know."
"Also, how do you plan to make Severance Tann really rush to attack the planet Palin Minor?"
"I'll let her do it."
"Ha... I hope you succeed." Arden-Lin waved his hand.
At this time, another communication suddenly came over. Thrawn looked at the communication frequency band and turned on the communicator. An Imperial Navy general in his 50s, wearing a gray military uniform, appeared in the holographic projection.
What is a bit strange is that this man's badge clearly shows that he is an Imperial Navy Admiral, but he is wearing a gray military uniform worn by ordinary navy instead of the white general uniform that an admiral should wear.
"General Demetrius Zaarin, nice to meet you." Thrawn gave a military salute politely.
"General Thrawn, I'm very happy to see that you are in good condition now. You are our last hope in the north, hahaha." Admiral Demetrius Zarin did not act like other senior imperial officers.
, he pretended to be polite to Thrawn, who was a Chiss. On the contrary, he was very talkative and didn't mind racial issues at all.
"The victory in the battle on the planet Arkania only allowed us to barely be able to compete with the Kingdom of Dawn in the north. It is too early to talk about the final victory," Thrawn said.
"Haha, I know, I know." Zarin said humbly: "Some time ago, His Majesty the Emperor appointed me as the technical chief of the Imperial Navy. Next, I will form a cutting-edge technology alliance with Orman Tagg.
Develop the next generation of capital ships and fighter jets of the Empire. I have been thinking about it for a long time. Among the entire Imperial Army, you are the only one who can provide me with the best combat data. So, I hope to get your help. Can you? Admiral Thrawn.
