1029. Frozen World

"Jubal planet... is another planet poisoned by war." Das-Malthael said slowly, "4000 years ago, Galactic Republic and the Mandalorian A fierce war started, this is Mandalorian Wars... and in order to prevent the invasion of the Mandalorian, Galactic Republic built a line of defense on several resource worlds that are close to each other."

He clicked on Omni-tool a few times and looked at the few official records about Jubal planet. More of them came from his own memory.

"This is the Jabr-Vago-Tarnit line of defense. This line of defense is equipped with a large number of hyperspace blockers and countless outposts. Four mobile fleets are ready for battle at any time. The purpose is to protect the commercial and economic center of the Outer Rim at that time, the planet Talis known as Coruscant in the Outer Rim." Darth Malthael shook his head mockingly. "History has shown countless times that the stronger the defense line, the more problems will arise."

"Taris was destroyed, causing a chain reaction and a gap in the defense line. The Mandalorian immediately sent out their Mandalorian invincible fleet, which quickly destroyed the popular Jebble-Wago-Tarnit defense line, and successively occupied Jubal planet And Taris." Das-Malthael spread his hands and said, "Then, there is no more... All the records about Mandalorian Wars have turned to other fronts. However, according to my judgment, the planet Jebble is in danger."

"Muur Talisman, has the ability to easily destroy the order on a planet... but you never take this taboo evil thing seriously." Lucian Dre said.

Das-Malthael smiled coldly and said nothing.

The spaceship left the hyperspace channel, and the dark and deep universe reappeared outside the window, and what caught their eyes was a not-so-big planet.

According to the scanning results, this planet is located in the sixth star system and is relatively far away from the star, so the entire planet is an icy planet.

The main reason why records can still be left here is because the planet's geological environment is relatively stable and it has a complete atmosphere. The overall average temperature is between minus 20°C and minus 50°C, where life can survive.

And because the ice in Jubal planet contains a variety of rare elements, many companies came here to dig out the ice and transport it back for refining. People who specialize in this life are called 'ice diggers'.

In the Jebble-Wago-Talnit defense line built by Galactic Republic that year, the output of Jubal planet happened to be the same as that of another resource world Vago planet's large-scale mine is complementary. The ice shipped out from here will be melted, the rare elements in it will be refined, and then processed at Vago planet into high-strength Durasteel armor plates used by warships.

But after this line of defense was completely captured by the Mandalorian in the war between Galactic Republic and the Mandalorian 4,000 years ago, the planet completely lost its records. There is no way to know what happened.

Taris was destroyed by Orbital Bombardment of the Sith Empire, and then occupied by the Mandalorian. And what happened to Jubal planet?

Although no one knows, the current state of the planet seems to indicate something.

Because this frozen planet... is black.

The scene seen after the spacecraft entered the planet's atmosphere also confirmed this - the entire planet was covered with black ice, black, black everywhere.

Black ice, black clouds, black dust.

Not only that, as the planet scanning ended, Das-Malthael and the others were speechless as they looked at the round appearance of the planet.

Yes, this planet is very round, with no mountains or highlands, and only an endless layer of ice caps.

Presenting such a scene, there is only one possibility...

"This planet also suffered from the devastating Orbital Bombardment. Orbital Bombardment caused the global ice to completely melt. Therefore, this planet once turned into an ocean planet for a long time. Then it gradually cooled over thousands of years and was then frozen again." Zerakas said.

"Then these black ones..." Das-Malthael frowned.

"Yes, the remains of Rakghoul plague." Zerakas said, "Rakghoul plague is so contagious that they can even infect microorganisms in the air. And because of Muur Talisman's powerful and unknown Force technology Under the influence, this virus can survive for a long time. At this time, it was killed by the high temperature of Orbital Bombardment. These viruses mixed with the dust in the sky and became this kind of black dust that has not dispersed for thousands of years... This dust dyed the seawater black, and the seawater was frozen, and this became such a world of black ice."

Das-Malthael sneered, "Orbital Bombardment again... It seems that after getting Muur Talisman, Mandalorian Crusaders also brought Rakghoul plague here."

"And when they found that they could not control the spread of the virus, they used Orbital Bombardment to destroy the planet." Zerakas added.

"But this has also caused us great difficulties! Every part of this planet is the same, except for black ice. Is there any result from the planet scan?" asked Das-Malthael.

"The regular scan has ended with no results. A deep scan originally used to scan the planet's mineral veins is being started, but this scan may take several hours." Zerakas said.

Das-Malthael looked at the radar screen of the spacecraft and said coldly, "I think we don't have to wait so long..."

He looked at a small dot that appeared on the screen, "It seems that the ice digger industry has not been extinct due to the destruction of Jubal planet."

It was the signal of a small cargo craft.

"This spacecraft does not have any weapons." Zerakas said.

"Then knock him off."

Protoss transport ship suddenly began to accelerate, and soon approached the spacecraft that looked like it had gone through several owners and modifications several times. It was completely indistinguishable from its original model, and then rushed over without any explanation!

A panicked voice came from the public communication channel, "Hey! Who are you! What do you want to do?! Stop! Stop!! You are going to hit..."

Bang!! The two spaceships collided directly!

Protoss transport ship was unscathed, but the left wing of the cargo ship was directly broken off. The spacecraft shook. If it weren't for the anti-gravity device, it would have fallen long ago.

On the cargo ship, several crew members dressed as smugglers were busy controlling the spacecraft. However, at this moment, a voice appeared in their minds, "Stop the ship."

"What?" the spacecraft pilot asked subconsciously, but then realized that no one was talking around him.

"You should have heard it, landing." At this time, a sinister voice suddenly appeared next to him. This was not a voice in his head, but a voice that sounded directly!

All the crew members were startled. Only then did they realize that there was a sinister-looking man in a black cloak in the cockpit.

"You are..." Before the driver could finish his words, he was choked by the blood-red Lightsaber that was suddenly placed on his neck.
