1233.Great Heist (2)
"Lower the shield, let us scan the warehouse, and then you can go to the spaceport and enjoy the life of the rich." Commander of Scipio Defense Fleet said lazily to the communicator, even with a sour tone.
He had somewhat heard about what happened this time, and he also knew that as long as the things brought by this fleet were a little more reliable and were exactly what the big capitalists wanted, they would not be stingy with the rewards.
These big-head soldiers can at least spend the rest of their lives with no worries about food and clothing.
It's a pity that I still have to look after the homes and homes of those capitalists here. Although the salary is much higher than that in the Navy, it can't be as good as others, right?
He had been thinking about something, and for a moment he forgot to pay attention to the alarm sound on the console next to him. Until his adjutant reminded loudly in horror, "Sir!! These battleships... are charging! Their main guns are charging!!!!"
Defense Fleet Commander jumped up suddenly, but the last image of his life he saw was a dazzling light.
12 Hunter Class Battlecruiser, main gun salvo!!
As I said before, the real designers of Hunter Class Battlecruiser, Willix-Blythex, are the most talented battleship designers in the galaxy. In the 1137-meter-long space of Hunter Class, he showed his genius and creativity and made everything perfect.
Firepower, maneuverability, protection, aircraft capacity, shield... It can be said that Hunter Class Battlecruiser is a standard hexagonal warrior.
Of course, a lot of price was paid, such as the Hunter Class main gun turrets arranged on both sides under the bridge, which is the middle and rear of the battleship. This weird position makes it difficult for Hunter Class to use its full firepower, but considering space combat, you can turn the spacecraft around, turn it sideways, turn it vertically, and fire, so it doesn't matter.
However, this shortcoming has turned into an advantage in the current situation.
Scipio's defense fleet surrounded the Hunter Class Battlecruiser formation from several directions at the same time, not because they wanted to launch a siege, but because they considered that after the opponent lowered their shields, their own spacecraft could immediately move up to scan the cargo bay.
And such a formation also caused Hunter Class Battlecruiser to suddenly fire, and more than half of the defending fleet suffered heavy losses in the first salvo, or even was directly destroyed!
Those Hunter Class Battlecruiser didn't mean to stop there, but followed up with a second salvo, and a third!
The tragic scene on the screen instantly shattered Rush-Clovis's last illusion. He stared blankly at the Hunter Class Battlecruiser formation that suddenly launched an attack and blew his defense fleet into pieces. His face suddenly turned livid!
"Quick!! Activate the orbital defense system! Ask for help from Coruscant immediately!!" Rush-Clovis almost shouted at the top of his lungs, and his previous calmness was gone.
At this moment, there was only one word echoing repeatedly in his mind - why?
Almost at the same time, Coruscant, Galactic Senate Building, Chancellor's Office.
Speaker Sheev-Palpatine frowned as he looked at the information in front of him.
This is the information sent by the Republic 8th Army Intelligence Department. The content of the information is very simple. There is only one sentence: Geth's home planet is in Kalion sector, Sojourn Satellite. The specific coordinates are attached at the back.
Of course Palpatine knows Sojourn Satellite, and he can even recite the coordinates directly without looking at the coordinates on the back - even if this place is not recorded in any of the current star maps of Galactic Republic or even Jedi Order.
Because Sojourn Satellite was the secret club of his master Das-Pregas, known as Hunter's Moon!
Das-Pregas spent a lot of money to build this satellite, which can be called a paradise on earth. He built an extremely luxurious castle-style club here and a huge wild hunting ground.
And every year, Das-Pregas will hold a private banquet at Sojourn Satellite to entertain the wealthy nobles and gangsters from all walks of life. Whenever this happens, his brokers will collect all kinds of powerful and rare beasts from all over the galaxy in advance, and make them harmless after undergoing muscle relaxation treatment.
Then during the private banquet, Das-Pregas would let those people enter the hunting grounds and hunt with their own hands these ferocious beasts that they had never even seen before, completely satisfying the wildness and bloodthirst in these people's hearts.
The name Hunter's Moon was therefore placed on Sojourn Satellite.
Palpatine had been to many banquets at Hunter's Moon, and Hunter's Moon was also destroyed because of his conspiracy.
He took advantage of Black Sun leaders Garin and Hutt Gaddula's dissatisfaction with Das-Pregas, and colluded with the terrorist organization Bando-Gosa to conspire to blow up Sojourn Satellite. At the time, he didn't know what went wrong, but the news actually leaked, allowing Das-Pregas to run away early.
The current Sojourn should be nothing more than a ruins after a nuclear explosion, without any life left.
I originally thought that Hunter's Moon Sojourn would be buried deep in my memory, maybe never mentioned, but now, this name, this familiar coordinate, appeared in front of me again!
The Mechanical Life Geth that wreaked havoc on Northern Galaxy came from the ruins of the Hunter's Moon Sojourn satellite!
Sheev-Palpatine's face gradually became serious, and his expression even became a little cold... Why Sojourn? Why Sojourn? Could it be...
He pressed the button and connected Republic Intelligence Headquarters's communication.
Minister Intelligence Headquarters's flattered voice came from the other end of the communication, "Meet... His Excellency the Chancellor! What are your instructions?"
"From now on, the entire Republic Intelligence Department, including Supreme Strategic Command, will make strategic decisions based on the premise that Geth is an ally of Separatists." Palpatine said lightly.
"His Excellency the Chancellor... What are you doing? This... this is impossible!" Intelligence Department Minister Even a man who has gone through many trials and tribulations is now so frightened that he can't even hold his tongue straight.
If this information hadn't come from the speaker himself, I'm afraid he would have been furious on the spot and sent Intelligence Department agents directly over to arrest the person!
"Do you want me to say it again, a second time?" Palpatine's voice became slow and gloomy.
"No... no! His Excellency the Chancellor! I will arrange it immediately, arrange it immediately! But, will this information be shared with other departments?" Intelligence Department Minister asked carefully.
"No need, you just need to know." After Palpatine finished speaking, he hung up the communication directly.
In the office, Palpatine's face was extremely cold. If it weren't for the isolation of the office, even his Dark Side Force would have escaped!
"Archangel of Death... very good... you are really, very good..."
[Stop all strategic and tactical actions related to Geth! All actions are re-evaluated!]
When this instruction was sent to Scipio, Rush-Clovis, he was looking at the sky with dull eyes, looking at Death Beam falling from the sky.
Orbital Bombardment!!
Rumble, rumble~~~~! The dull sound of explosions came from hundreds of kilometers away, accompanied by violent tremors in the earth.
Just now, Planetary Shield of Scipio was suddenly shut down, and this 'Republic fleet' also unceremoniously started Orbital Bombardment!
And this is just the beginning...
Huge black shadows have appeared in the sky, which are Hunter Class Battlecruiser and the transport ships they brought.
Now they're starting to land!
With the precious gift sent from Makito, the landing begins!
Scipio Defense Forces also immediately took off a large number of fighter jets to intercept, but all close firepower on Hunter Class Battlecruiser was deployed.
At the same time, there were a large number of insect-like fighter jets flying out...
Geth!
Coming!
