Rendili Planet, outer orbital space.
Aboard a Victory I-class Star Destroyer... BOOM! A powerful surge of the Force slammed forward, instantly knocking unconscious the Rebel Alliance soldiers still stubbornly resisting from the corner of the living quarters.
Master Yoda lowered his hands and said to the Republic soldiers behind him, "Bind them."
"Yes!" The soldiers immediately complied.
"Hmm..." Master Yoda's expression remained incomparably grave. He made his way back to the bridge and watched the increasingly fierce space battle through the bridge's holographic star map.
Among the Planet Defense Fleet, many warships still had their hangar bay doors open. Some were continuing to await rescue from the Jedi Knights, while others were still locked in fierce struggles.
Yet even more warships were closing their hatches, starting their engines, charging their main guns, and joining the battle—the Separatists had taken control of them.
And judging by their numbers, the warships controlled by the Separatists were clearly more numerous!
Jing Fang and Master Yoda had already done everything they could to rescue people, but the rebellion launched by the Rendili Rebel Alliance had come without warning. After all, it had been initiated entirely through brainwashed soldiers.
Caught unprepared, the officers and crew aboard many warships had fallen victim to the attack.
Worse still, as the flames of war gradually spread, some space defense platforms in synchronous orbit also joined the battle.
The powerful turbolaser cannons on the space defense platforms began firing, while vast numbers of fighters launched from their hangars and flew toward the warships still under Galactic Republic control, launching bombing runs!
Among these space defense platforms controlled by the Rendili StarDrive Shipwrights' Conference, there were only two kinds of people—those willing to follow the Urlan family in rebelling against the Republic, and those unwilling to follow the Urlan family.
