The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars - Chapter 2336

2316, Decapitation Operation (Part 1)

There were only over 400 Imperial battleships that were able to escape from the battlefield on Naboo, most of which were Imperial-class Star Destroyers and Imperial-class II-class Star Destroyers. More than 300 cruiser-class battleships escaped. These small and medium-sized battleships were even more vulnerable when facing the Archon-class aircraft carrier. If most of the unmanned interceptors had not attacked the Lusankaya Executor-class Super Star Destroyer, these cruisers might not have been able to return.

These are all the troops on Kira now, and then add the armed space station that has been destroyed once by the 60 Disaster-class battlecruisers. Now Kira’s defense line is riddled with holes.

Michel Unser has made up his mind to live and die with Kira.

He knows better than anyone that if he doesn’t die here, then he will still die after this humiliating defeat, and he will die in great humiliation. He might be convicted of dereliction of duty or treason. In short, all the blame for this failure will be placed on him.

The Imperial military has always been a bureaucratic organization that only cares about results. As long as it fails, someone must be held responsible.

Michel Anser wrote a long combat report, summarizing all the situations he encountered in this battle. Including the super maneuverability of the Stargate, including the Revelation-class battleships, including the Archon-class aircraft carriers, including the improved particle light spears, and also including the heavy cruisers that have been confirmed to be named Minotaur-class and have combat power comparable to the Victory II-class Star Destroyer.

He believes that there is a generation gap between the warships of the Galactic Empire and the Principality of Dawn, and this gap has not narrowed but continued to widen. This war must be fought by any means and must end very quickly, otherwise in the long run, the Empire may not be able to prevent the rise of the Principality of Dawn.

Afterwards, he took a shuttle to the largest spaceport and flew around the Lusankaya, which was under repair.

Now the fire on the Lusankaya Super Star Destroyer has been extinguished. Hundreds of engineering ships are surrounding the warship, repairing the warship intensively, mainly repairing the armor belts that have been penetrated and melted. As for the damage to the internal facilities, it is too late to repair them.

In other berths of the spaceport, hundreds of Imperial-class star destroyers and hundreds of light cruisers are leaving the home port and entering the combat array.

They only have half a day or more to rest, and many warships can only make the most basic repairs in time to barely make the warships move.

“General, the Separatist fleet is approaching, 100 light minutes away from us!” The adjutant reported to Admiral Michel-Unser.

Michel-Unser hesitated again at this time, because there were also two options in front of him – fight or escape.

Fighting will undoubtedly face a tragic defeat. The broken fleet and the broken defense facilities cannot stop the powerful and complete fleet of the Principality of Dawn.

So, what about escaping? From a strategic point of view, escaping is undoubtedly the best option, at least it can allow the Galactic Empire to preserve more warships, but for the Galactic Empire, this is an option that absolutely cannot exist! Preserve the manpower? Such a situation is absolutely not allowed! The Imperial Navy has only two ways-victory or death!

So, still fight? No… The loss of the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer is unbearable even for the Galactic Empire!

So… just let the Lusankaya escape? Impossible, because once the Lusankaya turns around and escapes, the morale of the defenders of the Kira planet will inevitably collapse, and they may surrender directly. Then the Galactic Empire will not only lose the long-running fortress planet Kira, but will even completely accept all the factories and supplies on this planet.

Absolutely not!

There were bursts of dazzling light outside the porthole…

“General! The Separatist fleet has begun bombing with particle light spears!” The adjutant said anxiously.

“Board the ship immediately! Prepare to counterattack!” Michel-Unser’s eyes became firm, and he had made up his mind.    …

At 21:00 on August 7, Severance Tann led the Second Task Force of the Principality of Dawn to bomb the planet Kira.

60 Disaster-class battlecruisers and 50 Paladin-class battlecruisers bombed the armed space station and spaceport of the planet Kira with their ultra-long-range particle light spears.

The Imperial Fleet held its ground and fought back only with the armed space station and the orbital defense cannons on the ground of the planet. Although this mass projection weapon has a sufficient range, it is impossible to hit the fleet of the Principality of Dawn, which has always been cautious to maintain a distance of 20 light minutes.

The Imperial Fleet persisted until 23:00 in the evening. In two hours, three armed space stations had been completely destroyed. The morale of the fleet officers and soldiers fell to the bottom, and some combatants on the armed space stations and spaceports even mutinied. They believed that they could not fight back in this passive way, and the Imperial Fleet also retreated, treating them as cannon fodder. They would rather surrender than be blown to death in this way.

The mutiny was quickly suppressed, and the Imperial Stormtroopers were extremely efficient in quickly arresting all the mutinous staff and immediately carried out public executions. However, the shadow still loomed over the hearts of all officers and soldiers at all levels of the Empire, and despair was spreading.

Admiral Michel Anser finally made up his mind and took the initiative to attack. He sent his death letter to the center of the Empire, and then led the fleet to rush at full speed towards the fleet of the Principality of Dawn.

…

On the bridge of the Ankron-class Titan battleship Taowu, the flagship of the Second Task Force, Severance Tann looked coldly at the Imperial fleet rushing up with a desperate belief on the holographic star map, with a mocking smile on the corner of her mouth.

“Hehehe… Even if you want to take the initiative to attack, you still put the Executor-class at the back of the formation?” Severance Tann laughed, “Even at this moment, you are still planning to preserve the Executor-class as much as possible, and at least drive this super battleship back to Palpatine? Hehehe… How stupid! Order all ships to advance at full speed and meet them!”

“Yes!!”

The Second Task Force of the Principality of Dawn immediately began to adjust the formation. Two Anchoron-class Titan battleships rushed to the front, followed by 12 Revelation-class battleships, and 10 Archon-class aircraft carriers in the center of the formation, and the Disaster-class and Paladin-class provided fire support at the end of the formation.

All-out assault!

For the fleet of the Galactic Empire, this rather tragic battle began.

But under the command of Severance Tann, this battle was destined to be a one-sided massacre!

Only two Anchoron-class Titan battleships were seen running their engines at full speed without any pause, and rushing straight towards the Lusankaya with the firepower of the Imperial Fleet!

This Executor-class Super Star Destroyer was their target!

Of course, the Imperial Fleet would not let them succeed, and almost all the artillery fire was directed at the two Titan battleships! On this side, the Swarm II unmanned interceptors that took off from the Archon-class aircraft carrier swept in like a dark cloud, providing support for the two Titan battleships.

This unstoppable momentum was to take the head of the admiral in the midst of thousands of troops!
