163. Miscellaneous Fleet
Corporate Alliance didn't even wait for Galactic Republic to react before he sent troops brazenly!
400 spaceships surrounded Malastare. Such a large-scale military operation could not be without any premeditation. The only possibility is that the people of the Corporate Alliance had already begun to assemble the fleet while Galactic Senate was arguing with the congressmen of Malastare!!
However, the meeting here Galactic Senate has been adjourned, and the congressmen have dispersed to go home. This sudden news only gave those high-ranking and fat congressmen something to talk about at dinner.
Senator Tim hurriedly led a few assistants to block Phineas-Chancellor Valorum, and said eagerly, "Sir, Speaker! Corporate Alliance's fleet has surrounded Malastare! I beg you to save us! Malastare is also a member of Galactic Republic. Is it what Galactic Republic does to just sit back and watch the members of Galactic Republic being abused by mercenaries and pirates?"
Chancellor Valorum also heard the news. Just as he was anxious, he hugged Tim's shoulders and said seriously, "Senator Tim, I understand your situation, but I also hope you can understand mine. It is impossible for Republic Judicial Fleet to intervene. If you propose to interfere in Malastare's dispute in public, the result will be disastrous."
"But you can't..."
"Listen to me Tim!" Valorum interrupted him, "We cannot publicly express our support for Malastare, but this does not mean that we do nothing. I will immediately contact Dustig Sector's (Dustig Sector Forces) defense fleet and ask them to provide assistance to you."
Tim's expression softened slightly, but he was still very worried, "His Excellency the Chancellor, Dustig Sector Forces is only a local garrison fleet after all, and its combat effectiveness is difficult to guarantee! Corporate Alliance has sent more than 400 spaceships!"
"It is absolutely impossible for Judicial Fleet to dispatch. As long as Dustig Sector's fleet can hold back Corporate Alliance's fleet, we will have time to do more things. Now, hurry up and arrange your own affairs! Leave the parliament to me!" Valorum said.
Senator Tim left doubtfully.
Valorum walked quickly towards his office, but on the way, he met Senator Palpatine. He also had a worried look on his face. When he saw Valorum coming over, he said in a deep voice, "His Excellency the Chancellor, the situation is really out of control!"
"I know. Now we need to contact Dustig Sector as soon as possible and ask them to send troops to assist Malastare! You follow me." Valorum kept moving forward.
Back in the office, Phineas-Valorum immediately connected to the communication between Dustig Sector and Fleet Commander. An image of Dagg appeared in the holographic projection, "It turns out to be the respected Speaker, what are your orders?"
Valorum said seriously, "I want you to organize a fleet immediately and go to Malastare to help them break through the siege of Corporate Alliance fleet!"
Dagg Fleet Commander looked embarrassed, "Well... I just heard that Galactic Republic doesn't interfere with Malastare?"
"You are very well informed. But I must remind you, that was before Corporate Alliance sent out troops. Now Corporate Alliance has magnified the matter, and we must suppress their behavior!" Valorum said.
"I'm really sorry, His Excellency the Chancellor. Our fleet has just been undergoing maintenance and it really cannot be dispatched. You can see our records. We declared all spacecraft overhauls two days ago. Now we don't have a single spacecraft that can be used..." Dagg said in a strange way.
"You..." Valorum looked cold, but then he figured it out and shut down the communication with a snap, "Asshole! Dustig Sector's defense force was bribed by the Corporate Alliance! Malastare is their home planet of Dagg!!"
"This is normal, His Excellency the Chancellor. As a local defense fleet, they originally had no sense of existence. Now because of the Corporate Alliance's actions, they have the opportunity to accept a large bribe. Of course, they can even betray their home planet." Palpatine, standing aside, said.
"These Galactic Republic moths! I will eradicate them all sooner or later!!"
"There will definitely be a day, His Excellency the Chancellor. But now we still need to focus on the things at hand. I suggest you contact Kwymar Sector's defense force (Kwymar Sector Forces). Their fleet is much larger. I know a promising young Commander there, Wullf-Captain Yularen. I recommend him to command this operation." Palpatine said.
Valorum nodded and said, "I know Captain Yularen. He has made many achievements in the battle to eliminate pirates. So it's decided, contact the Kwymar Sector defense force immediately!"
Palpatine added with an imperceptible smile, "It's not enough. Corporate Alliance is powerful and we need more support. I remember that the governors of Tyus sector (Tyus sector) and Var Hagen sector (Var Hagen sector) have a very good relationship with you. I believe they will be willing to come and help you."
Valorum sighed, "After all, these two star regions are far away from Malastare. It will take at least three days to assemble the fleet for action."
Palpatine smiled faintly, "We have done what we should do, so in these three days, Senator Tim should think about the problem."
Valorum nodded heavily, and then said, "Thank you very much, Senator Palpatine. I almost lost my sense of proportion."
"This is what it should be, His Excellency the Chancellor. The galaxy is in troubled times now, and we should work together." Palpatine nodded humbly.
Set the time back to 1 standard day ago, Hydian Way, Agomar.
A huge fleet is gathering here, with more than 300 spaceships. Although most of these spacecraft are only small spacecraft no more than 50 meters, the black and dense number is still frightening.
Except for the Corporate Alliance's spaceship, the main force of the fleet comes from various pirates and gangs who have colluded with the Corporate Alliance.
Including White Worm Gang of Madam Proxima, Crimson Dawn of Dryden-Vos, Secudians pirates, etc., all accepted high-priced employment from the Corporate Alliance and sent spaceships to participate in the war, forming this large-scale motley army.
At the core of the fleet are five relatively large spaceships. These spacecraft are basically saucer-shaped, about more than 200 meters long, and there is a large single-mounted Turbolaser cannon under the spacecraft.
This is Fantail-class destroyer (Fantail-class destroyer), a kind of escort ship built by the Corporate Alliance. It can be regarded as a spaceship built on the edge of Galactic Republic's policy.
Although the combat effectiveness of Fantail-class destroyer is not very good, it is a large battleship of more than 200 meters after all. For gangsters and pirates who generally only have small spaceships, it is still a powerful force that is difficult to match.
Among them, there is a Fantail-class destroyer that has been obviously modified and has a slightly different shape from its surroundings. This destroyer has a ferocious logo sprayed in purple paint on its hull!

There will be a trade union event tomorrow, so I probably won't have much chance to code, so I'll take a day off.
