2569, An Abnormal "Eye"

Looking at the people around him, who resembled walking corpses, General Grievous let out a cold sneer. He shoved aside the person next to him and walked over to one of the ships.

This was a ship manufactured by Targon Planet itself, around 170 meters long and supposedly one of their main warships. Its primary armament consisted of three twin-mounted 400mm Electromagnetic Cannons, along with more than sixty electromagnetic cannon turrets for air defense.

At this level, any Cobalt-class frigate from the Kingdom of Dawn's naval roster could probably tear through it without breaking a sweat.

At that moment, around two hundred Targonians were opening up the ship's belly, dismantling its energy system, and transporting its power units into the internal compartments of the super warship they were currently aboard—the Eye of Palpatine.

However, General Grievous was absolutely certain that the dismantled energy system was useless.

That was because Targon Planet's primary power source was still the extremely antiquated technology of basic nuclear fusion, using helium-3 as fuel. As for the Eye of Palpatine? As the Galactic Empire's most advanced and most powerful warship, it naturally used the most advanced energy systems as well.

The Eye of Palpatine used the solar furnace of an Executor-class Super Star Destroyer, fueled by Hypermatter. By the Kingdom of Dawn's own technological standards, a Hypermatter reactor produced slightly more power than an antimatter reactor, but less than a dark matter reactor. However, Hypermatter reactors were difficult to miniaturize, so their applications were not as widespread as antimatter reactors.

So why was General Grievous considering two energy systems with such vastly different technological levels together?

Because he had discovered something over the past few days—the Eye of Palpatine was short on fuel supplies!

It lacked not only the conventional energy provided
