The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars - Chapter 2386
2364, End of the Battle
Girard Pellaeon, after he was promoted to admiral, once again perfectly reproduced the battlefield command that opened his way to the star.
At that time, he was only a major. After the disastrous defeat in the battle of Dolin Planet, he was ordered to take over the temporary command of the fleet from the deceased Admiral Eureka, commanding the Republic Fleet to successfully shake off the pursuit and interception of the Geth Fleet and bring the remnants of the fleet out.
Today, more than ten years later, he once again commanded the Imperial Fleet, successfully shook off the pursuit and interception of the combined fleet of the Kingdom of Dawn and Geth, and brought the remnants of the fleet out (even the chapter name is also called “Escape from the Dead”, Chapter 1442).
What’s more ironic is that he also passed through Dolin Planet during his escape.
However, he also successfully saved more than 200 battleships and more than 800 small and medium-sized warships in this disastrous defeat, which can be regarded as retaining a little fire.
The defeated army of the Imperial Fleet fled all the way to the planet Bilbrin (Bilbringi) before stopping and reorganizing the army.
The Bilbrin galaxy is a galaxy full of asteroids, almost all of which are asteroids, and the planet Bilbrin generally refers to the asteroid Bilbrin VII, which is also the largest asteroid in the galaxy.
Because most of the surrounding asteroids in the Bilbrin galaxy are rich in various alloys and rare metals, astronomers speculate that this was hundreds of thousands or even millions of years ago when a huge comet rushed into the galaxy and collided with one of the planets, causing both to be destroyed.
However, the advantage of this is that many materials that can only be mined in the core of the planet can be easily found here.
For this reason, since the Galactic Republic period, a large-scale shipyard has been built near the planet Bilbrin. This shipyard is outsourced by Corellia Engineering Company, and it also upholds their spirit of doing work when there is work. The Bilbrin Shipyard is not picky, from star destroyers to frigates, as long as it is a warship, they build everything.
In addition, Bilbrin is just an industrial shipyard and does not have research and development capabilities.
At the same time, this planet also has great strategic significance. Because this galaxy is almost blocked by asteroids everywhere, it can only enter and exit through a few routes that only the military can control, which makes the planet easy to defend and difficult to attack. The complex environment, coupled with the planet’s own extremely powerful industrial manufacturing capabilities, makes all invading enemies only sigh.
It can be said that the planet Bilbrin is the Yago-Dur planet on the side of the Galactic Empire.
By the way, in the original plot, Grand Admiral Thrawn regarded this place as the foundation for his revival of the Galactic Empire. However, when the New Republic attacked the planet Bilbrin, Grand Admiral Thrawn, who was originally confident of victory, was assassinated by his own Nogri bodyguards and died on the spot, which also made his dream of reviving the Galactic Empire come to nothing.
Another important reason why the planet Bilbrin is so important is that it already belongs to the inner ring star area of the Milky Way and is also the starting point of the Namadi Corridor leading to the Mararian Alliance. Once the planet Bilbrin is captured, the core circle can be seen behind!
After passing the planet Bilbrin, it is the last gateway to the core circle of the Milky Way – the transportation hub Palanhi. That is to say, at that time, the core circle of the Milky Way will be directly threatened! Moreover, as a planet dominated by the financial industry, you can’t expect a strong defense here.
Therefore, when the North was invaded by the Geth and the Mararian Alliance betrayed, the planet Bilbrin, which had become the front line of the battle, was naturally the top priority for Gilad-Pellaeon to deploy the defense line. Whether it is politically, economically or militarily, the planet Bilbrin cannot be lost.
Gilad-Pellaeon built countless defensive cannons on the asteroid belt of the Bilbrin system. These cannons were built based on those metal asteroids. They are not only strong, but also have strong bearing capacity. More importantly, they are hidden. Several important asteroids even have micro planetary shields installed!
After leading his army back to the planet of Bilbrin, Admiral Gilad Pellaeon of the Imperial Navy made a brief arrangement for the next defense deployment, and then he was forcibly taken away by the senior judge of the Inquisition, Jerick, and sent to the center of the Empire for interrogation. The moment he was taken away, all his military posts were dismissed.
Also taken away by the Inquisition were more than 70 of the planet’s highest-ranking officials, including the governor of the planet of Gler-Anselm, Darsana.
And this battle that took place on the planets of Dolin, Gler-Anselm, and Anxin, and then all the way to the planet of Gler-Anselm, was called the Battle of the Malarian Alliance.
In this battle, the Galactic Empire lost more than 270 Imperial-class star destroyers, more than 210 Victory II-class and other star destroyers, 1 Commander II-class dreadnought, and more than 1,300 small and medium-sized warships. More than 4 million officers and soldiers at all levels of the navy were killed!
Some people say that the navy was a hundred years old and was destroyed in two days. This sentence has been applicable since ancient times.
In this battle, the Kingdom of Dawn lost more than 30 battleships, more than 30 heavy cruisers, and more than 1,500 small and medium-sized battleships. Among them were more than 900 Undertaker-class light cruisers and more than 400 Osprey-class light cruisers. The former was lost because it rushed into the center of the Imperial Fleet and attracted a lot of firepower, and many of the latter were sunk while accompanying the Undertaker-class assault and providing them with emergency repairs.
Compared with this great victory, such war losses are actually a bit ugly, but considering the unscientific battleship ratio of the Commercial Combined Fleet, as well as the defective Undertaker-class and Osprey-class, seeing such losses is also relieved.
…
At this moment, in the spaceport of the planet Gler-Anselm, Admiral Mal-Tuk, the commander-in-chief of the Commercial Combined Fleet, was furious.
“You bastards!! Good-for-nothings!! How could you let the Imperial fleet slip away from under our noses!!” Mal-Tuk cursed at his squadron commanders.
“We have already attacked from both sides, and we are sure to win! As long as we can wipe out the Imperial fleet here, we will have the opportunity to march straight in and directly threaten the core circle!! And I will become the second general of the Kingdom of Dawn to set foot in the core circle!! But you idiots actually let so many warships go!! Shame on you!!!” Mal-Tuk pointed at the noses of the squadron commanders and cursed.
“Humph, so boring.” The Jedi Knight Jax-Pavan who came to attend the meeting sneered, stood up and left. And Ferrus-Olin followed closely behind, only the mature and steady Luminara-Anduri still stayed here.
