The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars - Chapter 2445
2422, Thrawn’s Pincers (Part 1)
Day of Judgment!
The Doomsday weapon fired at the Iron Moon of Palin-Minor for the third time. This time, nothing could stop the coming of Judgment Day!
The sea of fire spread to every part of the satellite, completely igniting the satellite’s atmosphere! Almost everything that can burn on the surface of the satellite burned violently. The entire fortified satellite with a diameter of 700 kilometers has now become a fireball with a diameter of 700 kilometers!
The terrible flames continued to burn on the satellite. There were a large number of factories, energy facilities, power plants, fuel plants, and ammunition reserves built by the Galactic Empire on the planet. These were all high-quality combustibles. At extremely high temperatures, even metals began to burn!
The fire will continue to burn until it gradually extinguishes after a few months!
At this moment, everyone on Palin-Minor watched the largest barrier of their planet being completely destroyed in just a few hours! !
If it was in the past, the Iron Moon suspended in the sky would always emit a faint blue light. On Boxing Day, the huge holographic projection device built on this side would also project some holiday greetings. Sometimes when Governor Dunn was in a good mood, he would also perform some holographic projection performances.
Not only that, Iron Moon, as a fortified satellite, has a diameter of 700 kilometers, a powerful planetary shield, and a huge orbital defense cannon. All of these are telling the people of the planet Palin-Minor – this place is as solid as a rock! And the official media of the Galactic Empire did promote it this way.
In the mouths of those media, the defense force of Iron Moon alone can at least withstand the concentrated attack of 200 Imperial-class Star Destroyers! Even if the mobile defense fleet is not counted, relying on the power of Iron Moon and the Palin-Minor planetary defense system that is mutually supporting each other, at least 1,000 Imperial-class Star Destroyers are needed to capture the northern core of the Galactic Empire!
The fleet of the King of the North stationed on the planet Palin-Minor is not a pushover. An Executor-class Super Star Destroyer is stationed here at all times, and there are hundreds of the most advanced battleships. This force is enough to make any fleet that dares to attack here hit its head and bleed!
But now, where is the Super Star Destroyer? Where is the fleet? Where is the planet’s defense system? Why… the Steel Moon that was blown up to the sky was destroyed in front of everyone?
The burning satellite still floats faithfully in the planet’s synchronous orbit, just as it did for hundreds of years before. Under the adjustment of the engineers of the Galactic Republic, the tidal force between the satellite and the planet Palin-Minor reached a perfect balance, allowing the satellite to always face the planet and remain in the synchronous orbit of the planet’s capital.
And such a perfect defense system now also perfectly displays the Steel Moon after the destruction, the dead fireball, in front of the residents of the planet Palin-Minor, especially the residents of the capital. Day and night, every moment, it will never leave.
The satellite is constantly burning, and the jumping flames can be seen even on the ground, and everyone can easily conclude that it is impossible for any creature to survive on the satellite.
The Iron Moon includes 150,000 army troops, 500,000 logistics and civilian personnel, and three towns with more than 6 million residents. Among these people, the number of those who can leave alive is probably no more than four digits. And many of them are relatives and friends of the residents of the planet Palin Minor…
The fear brought to them by the doomsday weapons of the God-Envoy Titan battleships is always displayed in front of everyone!
Even if people close their eyes in fear, when they open their eyes, the fireball of death is still hanging in the sky, and it has never changed.
Countless people even suffer from traumatic stress disorder because of this, and one of these people is the King of the North, the Governor of the Ninth Army-Dunne Wessex!
…
At this moment, in the array of the Northern Fleet of the Kingdom of Dawn, a large amount of white smoke was spraying around the Titan battleship of the God’s Envoy. These smokes condensed and did not disperse in the zero-gravity environment, and kept floating around the Titan battleship, covering this extremely powerful battleship with a mysterious veil.
These smokes are all the heat dissipation medium of the Titan battleship. This is a liquid with a very high heat absorption coefficient, which can discharge the ultra-high temperature generated when the doomsday weapon is launched. And now, this heat dissipation liquid with a storage environment below minus 100 degrees is spread around the Titan battleship, and the temperature can even reach thousands of degrees!
The various functions of the Titan battleship have been offline, and engineers and technicians are nervously checking every instrument and equipment of the Titan battleship. After all, such a high-intensity continuous shooting must ensure that each system will not malfunction due to overheating.
Severance Tann discussed with Admiral Trench in front of the holographic combat star map.
“This is my gift to Dunn Wessex. I hope that the Governor will like it.” Severance Tann said proudly.
“Tsk tsk tsk tsk… The Iron Moon turned into a fireball. Tsk tsk tsk tsk… There is nothing more ironic than this…” Admiral Trench was also very satisfied.
The reason why the Angel Titan battleship did not directly bomb the Palin-Minor planet is because according to their calculations, if they want to directly destroy the planetary shield of Palin-Minor planet with the power of the Angel Titan battleship alone, It’s almost impossible.
Because the Palin-Minor planet is no longer an industrial planet, it also has a complete industrial system and a large number of factories on it. When being bombarded by doomsday weapons, it can be repaired and supported at the same time. The production capacity and resources of an entire planet are enough to sustain it under the bombing of doomsday weapons.
Therefore, such a protracted bombing of the Palin-Minor planet will not have a shocking effect at all.
But… Severance Tann and the others discovered the existence of Steel Moon! This 700-kilometer satellite is almost a perfect target. With the power of the doomsday weapon Judgment Day, this satellite can be destroyed in a short time!
A 700-kilometer-diameter fortress-like satellite may be a despairing existence in front of other warships, but in front of the Divine Envoy, it is just fish on the chopping board!
This is like an extremely strong bastion. In the era of forward-loaded artillery, it was also extremely despairing. Without 10 times the strength, it is not even worthy of taking a look at it. But at this moment, its opponent took out a ground-penetrating tactical nuclear weapon…
And if the Steel Moon is destroyed and the ruins of this satellite are allowed to float over the planet Palin-Minor, the shocking effect will be enough to make everyone on the planet frightened! At this point, no matter how many experts tell them that such firepower is not enough to destroy the entire planet, these terrified residents will not believe it.
“In this way, we can… wait, tsk tsk tsk tsk… wait for Dunn-Wessex to send Thrawn’s fleet over… tsk tsk tsk tsk…” Admiral Trench said proudly.
However, Severance Tann shook her head and said: “No, this is still not enough, Thrawn will not come.”
“Oh? Could it be that the pressure is not enough?” Admiral Trench clapped his palms with his pointer, and at the same time stroked his chelicerae at the corner of his mouth.
I have to say that having six hands is convenient and you can do a lot of things at the same time.
“We bombed the Iron Moon, but not the planet Palin Minor. This technique is okay to scare ordinary people, or it should be effective against idiots like Dunn Wessex. However, for For someone like Thrawn, he can see our purpose clearly at a glance,” Severance Tann said, “From the first shot I fired at Iron Moon, he knew that I would not attack Pa. Planet Lin-Minor.”
Admiral Trench stopped several movements in his six hands, and he asked doubtfully: “Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk… If that’s the case, why did you fire the second and third cannons?”
“Because even if Thrawn doesn’t come here, I still have to put enough pressure on Dunn Wessex. Let Dunn, this idiot, turn into a magnet and firmly attract Thrawn…here.” France Tann clicked on a planet on the holographic star map.
Planet Isol!
That’s right, the Northern Fleet set out from the planet Oud-Mantel and passed through the planets Kinasa and Isol before entering the Palin-Mantel system.
After they launched their operation, Thrawn’s Imperial Fleet also adopted the same tailing strategy as when it fought Admiral Mal-Took’s Merchant Combined Fleet. They stopped just after they captured the planet Dolin and the planet Oud-Mantel.
Therefore, before Severance Tann bombed the Iron Moon, the fleets of both sides faced off between the planet Palin-Minor and the planet Oud-Mantle respectively. Between them were the planets Kinasa and Isol.
However, after Iron Moon came under direct attack, Thrawn’s fleet took action. According to the reconnaissance plane report left by Tann, Thrawn’s fleet crossed the planet Kinasa without stopping and entered the Isol system.
It’s obvious that Thrawn is under tremendous pressure from Dunn Wessex at the moment! The King of the North, Dunn Wessex, is now said to be the second person in the military after Emperor Palpatine of the Galactic Empire. There will be no doubt at all! Even Palpatine’s apprentice Darth Vader needs to seriously consider Dunn’s opinions many times!
Now Dunn-Wessex is in deep fear. One can imagine the pressure that his hysteria puts on Thrawn!
“So, here is the cemetery I chose for Thrawn – the planet Isol!” Severance Tann laughed ferociously, “He will not take the initiative to come to the planet Palin Minor in front of me. .So, I need to take the initiative to find him!”
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
“However, he is likely to continue to escape, tsk tsk tsk tsk… Once we withdraw our troops, the pressure on him from Dunn-Wessex will be less.” Admiral Trench said.
“Then let him escape!” Severance Tann said, “The Titan battleship Angelus has the most advanced jump engine. If it really runs, they can’t escape.”
She clicked on the hyperspace channel marked on the star map, “Thawn can only escape back into the turtle shell of the Birbrin planet. And we hunt all the way from the Isol planet to the Birbrin planet, how much can we destroy?” Where are the imperial battleships? I’m looking forward to it…hehehe…”
Tann licked his lips with a grin, then waved his hand fiercely and said loudly: “Order! The First Squadron immediately turns around and returns to the planet Isol to fight the Imperial Fleet! Remember, after leaving hyperspace, deploy the hyperspace jammer as soon as possible!”
“Yes! Do it immediately!” Adjutant Ma Guocheng immediately stood at attention and saluted.
Hyperspace jammers are a widely used technology in “The Original Sin of the Solar Empire”. They have similar purposes to the hyperspace blockers widely used in this universe, but different methods.
The function of hyperspace blockers is similar to roadblocks, which are used to block ships that are making hyperspace jumps. To play a role, it is best to deploy them in the middle of the channel. Because if they are deployed at the starting point, the opponent’s ship can simply bypass the range of action, or directly destroy the blocker.
However, hyperspace jammers are different. This device is equivalent to fog, making it difficult for others to see the road ahead. In short, it will disrupt the fluctuations of hyperspace and increase the pressure of the hyperspace engine, so that the ship needs a larger amount of computing power to enter hyperspace, which will greatly delay time. And because the hyperspace disruptor directly generates hyperspace fluctuations, the entire galaxy will be affected!
Severance-Tann believes that as long as the First Squadron returns to the planet Isol with the hyperspace disruptor, it will be able to completely entangle Thrawn’s fleet. The First Squadron has a lot of troops, including 50 capital ships and all 5 Divine Revelation-class battleships of the Northern Fleet!
Although this force is only one-sixth of the Imperial Fleet in Thrawn’s hands, it can still delay a lot of time by fighting and running. As long as it can be delayed until the Titan battleship of the Envoy arrives, then this is the end of Thrawn! !
…
About an hour after the departure of the First Squadron, the Titan battleship of the Envoy also completed the cycle cooling, and all the systems that were overloaded and offline due to the launch of the doomsday weapon were restored. Severance-Tann waited for another hour to ensure that the Titan battleship was in the best condition, and also waited for the hyperspace channel to calm down. After that, she ordered the Titan battleship of the Envoy to lead the Second Squadron to set off immediately and head to the planet Isol! !
In the Isol system, after a burst of white flashes, the huge figure of the Titan battleship, the Envoy of the God, appeared in the empty space.
Along with the Envoy of the God, there were 25 battleships and 160 small and medium-sized battleships. The main reason was that the hyperspace channel between the planets of Palin-Minor and Isol was not very “spacious”, so the fleet needed to pass in batches.
Before launching the attack, Tann spent a day to assemble and organize the fleet.
However, after arriving in the Isol system, Severance Tann was completely stunned!
The Isol system was empty, there was nothing!!
Where is Thrawn? Where is the First Fleet? ? ?
