1912. Spark (8)
"Under your command, we are confident of defeating any enemy!" Adjutant Sandars shouted, "Colonel Thrawn (Thrawn)!"
"This fleet is exhausted. It's just an appearance that it's unscathed. Let's return." Galactic Empire Commander, known as Thrawn, shook his head and said.
With blue skin and blood-red eyes, he is clearly a Chiss! A Chiss who is the same as Separatists, Sefrans-Tann!
He looks like he is only in his early 30s. He is very young, but he has become Colonel Imperial Navy, commanding such a patrol fleet.
"Yes!" the adjutant responded loudly. He didn't feel any discomfort at all as he was being commanded by Chiss.
And this is almost impossible to happen in the Galactic Empire's army!
Because since the establishment of the Galactic Empire, Emperor Palpatine has been promoting Human Supremacy sporadically. Although it has not been explicitly stated, and even some the Empire media are still vigorously advocating racial equality, in fact, all non-Human race have begun to be gradually squeezed out of the center of the Galactic Empire.
Those who are not Human race begin to find that they cannot get any job opportunities at all. Even if they are left because they are temporarily unable to replace them, they will receive a lot of criticism. For example, encountering difficulties at work, or being gradually isolated in daily interpersonal relationships...
Even speaking, if a fight breaks out between a human and a non-Human race on the Imperial Center street, then the result will definitely be that the the Empire military police will arrest the non-Human race and lock him up, while sending the human home.
Not only that, companies set up by non-Human race businessmen are also constantly being suppressed. They cannot receive orders, cannot buy raw materials, a large number of human employees have resigned, and they are under investigation by the the Empire tax department all day long.
This is even more true for the army. When Galactic Empire was founded, it directly rejected and dismissed all non-Human race soldiers. The reason is rather high-sounding - if all human soldiers are recruited, it will be easier to unify uniforms, weapons and rations.
In such an environment, the Colonel Thrawn in front of us could continue to improve, and finally became the Commander of a patrol fleet. This can be said to be a miracle. Of course, it can also be said that this Chiss Commander has abilities and emotional intelligence far beyond ordinary people.
In fact, this is indeed the case. The patrol fleet commanded by Colonel Thrawn was originally very inconspicuous. After he was appointed, he went to the battleship repair factory of Kuat Drive Yards to piece together the fleet.
The flagship Chimeara Imperial-class Star Destroyer was actually originally Knight-class Star Destroyer. After the end of Clone Wars, Galactic Empire Navy began to order and produce Victory II-class Star Destroyer. Relatively speaking, the efficiency of Knight-class Star Destroyer was not high, but the cost was twice that of Victory II-class.
Therefore, some Knight-class Star Destroyers injured on the battlefield were brought back to the Kuat Drive Yards repair shop, and then modernized and remodeled into Imperial-class Star Destroyers. Anyway, the original designs of the two Star Destroyer are almost exactly the same, so it is very convenient to modify them.
So Colonel Thrawn chose this battleship as his flagship, and then he found several prototype ships of Vigil-class corvette. These prototype ships were built when they were first undergoing finalization experiments. Compared with the Vigil-class corvette currently in service, many of the electronic equipment are not the most advanced. However, Colonel Thrawn appreciates the flexibility and powerful firepower of this warship, so it also asked for these prototype ships.
So his patrol fleet was formed.
After starting the mission, Colonel Thrawn took the fleet to fight and refit it, trying every means to find the parts they needed from the Imperial Navy Supply Department, so as to gradually increase the combat effectiveness of the fleet.
And Colonel Thrawn is also in constant combat missions. Through his artistic command ability and unfathomable wisdom, he has impressed all the officers and soldiers of the fleet.
At first, these officers and soldiers scorned Colonel Thrawn as a Chiss. They looked down on this non-Human race at all, even though compared to humans, Chiss's body was no different from the inside out except for the skin color.
Regarding this point, Grand Duke of Dawn Tang Xiao has the most say.
But now more than three years have passed since Galactic Empire was established, and Human Supremacy's ideas have been deeply ingrained. These officers and soldiers did not show Colonel Thrawn's face on the spot, which can be regarded as Imperial Navy's strict military discipline.
However, this situation did not last long. From the very beginning of wiping out pirates and chasing down those roving Separatists forces, Colonel Thrawn led this fleet to continuous victories without any losses!
For those Galactic Empire grassroots naval officers and soldiers, in fact, they don't really care about who they serve, nor who their Commander is or who their enemy is. What they really care about is who can take them back alive!
And Colonel Thrawn did this!
This time when they received the mission to confront Geth fleet, which suddenly appeared through warp speed, everyone was filled with despair, because before that, unless they sent a sector-level fleet to encircle and suppress it, when a small patrol fleet encountered Geth battlegroup, they would either die or be disabled!
Geth warships is extremely flexible, has extremely powerful firepower, and has extremely thick shields and armor! Their only drawback is that the range of the weapons is not far, and the rate of fire and projectile velocity are not very fast. However, in actual combat, Imperial Navy Commander was not able to grasp this point. Instead, Geth warship quickly got close to him with his super speed, and was defeated by Geth warship's ferocious stalking.
The morale of the officers and soldiers of the fleet Colonel Thrawn, who had finally been impressed by his superb command skills, has fallen into a low point again. Some people even began to think that it was precisely because of the existence of Thrawn, the non-human Commander, that Imperial Naval Department gave them such a death order!
But Colonel Thrawn just told them calmly that everyone could live if they followed what he said.
Then, this miraculous victory!
And this victory also made Colonel Thrawn truly become a god-like existence among the officers and soldiers of all levels in this patrol fleet!
Colonel Thrawn commanded the fleet to go to a Imperial Navy base located near the planet Ithor (Ithor), and temporarily stationed there. He applied to the Naval Department for material supplies and battleship repairs. After that, he gave his soldiers a break and let them take turns taking vacations.
But he did not go to the spaceport with these soldiers to drink and play with women. Instead, he stayed on his flagship Chimeara Star Destroyer, listening to a piece of music that was completely different from the Galactic Empire, while flipping through a thick piece of intelligence.
On this piece of information, it was clearly written - "Culture and Art of Dawn Star Planet"!
