1421. Onderon Ending (Part 2)

Wilhuff-Governor Tarkin stood on the flagship bridge, viewing a tragic scene through the projection on the screen.

'Tarkin's Will' number Consul-class Star Destroyer was falling towards Onderon. There was a gap on the side of Star Destroyer, and a large amount of flames were spurting out.

Before the ship Star Destroyer started to land on Dexen Satellite, it fell into Separatists's trap and Engine Department was destroyed and completely lost its power.

Afterwards, he arranged for several transport ships to use tractor beams to tow Tarkin's Will, and sent an engineering team to repair it, hoping to bring the warship back as much as possible.

However, the news fed back from the engineering team was disappointing - the Tarkin's Will engine was so severely damaged that it was completely impossible to repair it. The only way is to wait for the end of this battle and ask Kuat Drive Yards to send a large engineering ship to completely replace the engine of Star Destroyer, and finally sail to Quat Planet for a complete overhaul.

Therefore, during the tragic landing battle of Dexen Satellite, Tarkin's Will floated lifelessly in space, becoming a silent bystander from beginning to end.

However, just when the war at Dexen Satellite finally came to an end, an accident suddenly occurred, and a violent explosion suddenly occurred inside Tarkin's Will. According to the report of the engineering team, the explosion was probably caused by the leakage of fuel in Star Destroyer's still uncooled Hypermatter reaction pile, which then detonated the ammunition depot.

As a result, the explosion caused a large amount of high-temperature gas and flames to be ejected from the interior of Star Destroyer, pushing Star Destroyer to float in the direction of Onderon. Eventually, the spacecraft was captured by the gravity of the planet and inevitably began to fall.

The engineering team still inside Star Destroyer evacuated urgently, but many people were still trapped inside Star Destroyer, as the short-lived battleship crashed into the primitive jungle of Onderon.

Wilhuff-Tarkin watched this scene expressionlessly, and his heart did not waver at all. He knew that the battle of Onderon had been victorious and successfully completed, and his current work should be put in a longer-term direction.

The Republic Fourth Army he commanded has experienced the Semirres Planet campaign and Onderon battles, and has basically lost its strategic offensive capabilities. Even if it has not been lost, his next job is still to accumulate strength and prepare for that day.

As for the Onderon battle, yes, it was a 'victorious and successful' battle. His liberating Onderon in one day was much exaggerated. Most importantly, he captured Doctor Zhang Jiarui, Tyran Heavy Industries's senior engineer. Now Rothana Heavy Engineering, a subsidiary of Kuat Drive Yards, has dispatched technical personnel and is ready to contact Zhang Jiarui at any time.

As for the fierce battle that followed on Dexen Satellite, he and Sheev-Palpatine were well prepared and attributed all of this to the Separatists rebellion that broke out later.

In other words, this 'rebellion' is not part of the Onderon campaign, but another security suppression war conducted by Governor Tarkin. The losses were heavy because Separatists on Onderon had deep-rooted ideas and they did not accept the rule of Galactic Republic, so opposition actions broke out.

There is no doubt that what Onderon will face next is Galactic Republic's severe sanctions.

This is Wilhuff-Tarkin, the revenge action against King Onderon Ramses-Dundup! His idea is very simple, since you Dundup want to make me uncomfortable within the rules, then I will also be within the rules and kill you!

Anakin-Skywalker is also on the bridge at this moment, standing opposite Tarkin.

After experiencing this tragic battle, he finally found that he began to dislike this cruel and decisive governor less. Because during this battle, he understood one thing, that is, Jedi Order's creed does not apply everywhere.

At least on this battlefield, the seemingly cruel decisions made by Governor Tarkin were correct.

He would not blame the losses in this battle for being too great, because only after experiencing that hellish battlefield could he know that if a different general had come, the losses might have been even greater.

How much was Galactic Republic's loss in this battle?

Not to mention Tarkin's Will, there are also several Hunter Class and Acclamator-class, more than 300 large and small transport ships, and more than 9,000 fighter jets. Army soldiers suffered more than 4.5 million casualties, and most of the remaining soldiers were labeled as no longer fit for battlefield after psychological evaluation.

Confederacy of Independent Systems's losses here were also very heavy. After all, they lost a large warship manufacturing base that had been in operation for many years.

Galactic Republic won, but what did they get? An industrial base that had been completely destroyed, and a planet filled with hatred for them.

What about Onderon? Their cities were destroyed, their people massacred, and after losing Dexen Satellite, they also lost their main source of income. The road ahead was unclear and they could not see the future at all.

In this war, they are the most miserable ones.

Because from beginning to end, they never had the power to choose.

Boom~~~~~~!!!!

Consul-class Star Destroyer's extremely huge body fell from the sky, then plunged straight into the ground, and then erupted with an extremely violent explosion!

The flames of the explosion were clearly visible even dozens of kilometers away.

Judgment stood steadily on a giant tree that was a hundred meters high. Her body did not move at all. She just looked at the direction of the explosion, silent.

"Mass Driver on Dexen Satellite has not started." The old figure of Ramses-King Dundrup appeared in the holographic projection, "So, the person you want to save did not escape from there."

"I know." Judgment said lightly.

"Okay, that's all I have to do. You should leave as soon as possible. Now Onderon is of no value to you." King Dundrup said coldly.

Judgment looked at the mushroom cloud rising thousands of meters high in the distance and said, "Galactic Republic, I won't let you go."

"So what? Next, is the struggle that belongs to our Onderon people! It has nothing to do with you Separatists. If you still pity us people who are living in water and fire, then you'd better leave here as soon as possible and stop interfering in anything on our planet." Dundup said.

"..." Judgment turned back to look at Dundup's holographic projection and said, "I will do it."

She paused again and added, "Stila-Gerrera, I will give her some help. The help is not from Separatists, but from me personally."

Dundup didn't say anything more, but hung up the communication.

Judgment also jumped down from the tree, lifted the hood of his cloak to cover his face, and walked in the other direction.

Passing through the jungle, I only saw a CSS-1 Republic-class shuttle parked in a patch of grass here! Judgment walked over directly without any avoidance.

All I saw was that the Galactic Republic soldiers on the shuttle were all staring blankly in place, as if the pause button had been pressed.

After Judgment boarded the shuttle and put on Republic Army Medic's military uniform, these people suddenly woke up, drove the shuttle and merged into the countless formations of spaceships leaving the planet, leaving the devastated planet.
