General Grievous began continuously probing the movements of the Galactic Empire fleet. He soon discovered that Gideon Tarkin had defended his border extremely well, leaving him almost no openings to exploit.
If this continued, there would be no way to tie down the Imperial fleet's strength.
To deal with Gideon Tarkin's defensive line, General Grievous ultimately decided to take a risk—the modernized Destruction battleship had been fitted with a new type of jump engine!
By now, basically all Kingdom of Dawn warships over 5,000 meters had enough space and power supply to install jump engines, and the Destruction battleship had naturally received such modifications during its modernization. However, because the fleet assigned to General Grievous was far too motley, he had never used this capability.
Because once he used the jump engine for a surprise attack, it meant the other warships would be unable to keep up with Destruction, leaving it to fight alone.
General Grievous made extremely thorough plans. After careful consideration, he chose the target of his raid—Kashyyyk planet!
Kashyyyk planet was the homeland of the Wookiees and an important world located in the Mid Rim Territories. It held tremendous strategic importance, serving as a transportation hub linking the Outer Rim and Inner Rim Territories in the Eastern Territory. More importantly, attacking Kashyyyk planet would threaten the Twelfth Army capital—Lantirris Planet.
Moreover, due to the Galactic Empire's racial policies, the Wookiees had suffered brutal exploitation and suppression by the Empire. Riots and uprisings had long erupted there, making it an exceptionally chaotic planet. The Galactic Empire's Twelfth Army also maintained a sub-fleet there specifically to monitor and suppress Wookiee resistance.
General Grievous's plan was to raid Kashyyyk planet, rely on the immense power of the Destruction battleship to destroy the Imperial sub-fleet, and threaten the Twelfth Army's core
