2197. The Empire's counterattack (Part 1)
Galaxy Core Worlds, Imperial Capital - Imperial Center (formerly Coruscant), Imperial Intelligence Bureau Headquarters.
An intelligence officer rushed into the minister's office in a hurry, almost bumping into it, and then said in a panic, "Sir... report, sir! Duchy of Dawn has a large-scale military mobilization!"
"What did you say??" Intelligence Department Minister Armand-Isard (Armand Isard) was in the office at the moment. Hearing the news, he frowned and immediately asked, "Where, what transfer?"
"Dawn Star Planet has traces of the second ship Endless-class Super Carrier, Eternal! And four hours ago, Dawn Star Planet announced a military exercise, temporarily blocking access to the entire Endor system!" the intelligence officer said eagerly.
"Based on previous intelligence, Eternal is in the direction of Chiss territory. Contact Chiss territory's informant immediately to confirm the situation there!" Armand-Isard said seriously.
"It has been confirmed! Eternal left Chiss territory two days ago and his whereabouts are unknown. But now he appears in Dawn Star Planet!" said the intelligence officer.
Isard touched his chin and pondered, "In two days... Chiss territory is located in Unknown Regions, and in the direction of Northwest Territory of the galaxy. But Dawn Star Planet is in Southwest Territory In the direction of, starting from Chiss territory, they need to make a big circle to get to Dawn Star Planet... Is it true that Duchy of Dawn has some kind of very fast hyperspace navigation method...?
The intelligence officer continued, "In addition, Sefrans-Tann, who has been active over Mandalore star sector, has also made moves. Endless-class Super Carrier Infinity left the space port an hour ago, and its destination is unknown."
"Why Endless Class again? Duchy of Dawn's recent transfers are all related to Endless Class?" Isard thought for a while and said, "We got some of them before Endless Class's data, immediately pull out all the Endless Class's data! Immediately organize a team to analyze, what does Duchy of Dawn need two Endless Class!"
"Yes!"
"Is there anything else?" Isard asked.
"Actually, if we link this Duchy of Dawn action with Endless-class Super Carrier, we have found another piece of information. There are at least three Endless-class Super Carriers built by Duchy of Dawn, and the first of them, Eternity, sailed out of the space port about a year ago and disappeared. We judge that it may have gone to Unknown Regions." said the intelligence officer.
Isard nodded and said, "Pay attention to this matter and I will report it to His Majesty the Emperor immediately."
"Yes!"
Isard did not dare to delay. After informing Emperor Palpatine's chamberlain, he immediately walked out of the office and took a bus to the Imperial Palace.
However, as soon as Speeder arrived, he received emergency communication again.
[Your Excellency Minister! Emergency military situation! Duchy of Dawn's Endless-class Super Carrier Number Three Ship Infinity has just broken through seven border outposts of our army, three of which were destroyed and contact with the other four was lost!]
Isard was shocked and stood up suddenly. As a result, the space in the car was so small that his head hit the roof with a bang. He covered his head and said loudly, "This is an invasion! This is a war! Notify the military immediately!"
[The military already knows and they are urgently summoning a defense fleet!]
Emperor of the Galactic Empire palace, Emperor Palpatine, who received the emergency military information, immediately convened the highest military meeting.
"My lord, the news has been confirmed. Duchy of Dawn and a Endless-class Super Carrier broke through the border of our army and destroyed seven border outposts. It has now entered Rafa system." In the holographic projection, Das-Vader said in that dull voice.
"Tang Xiao Are you finally tired of living? Hehehehe... this is just right! Gather the troops immediately, I will completely plow Duchy of Dawn to the ground!" Palpatine laughed maniacally.
"Our main fleet is besieging Kato-Neimoidia of Trade Federation. Before ending the war here, we lack the strength to attack Duchy of Dawn." Das-Vader said.
"Then end the war at Trade Federation!! When can Kato-Neimoidia be captured!? I need some time!!!" Palpatine roared.
"The offensive we launched last month suffered a failure. I have executed more than seven major generals Commander who commanded the operation. I am currently reintegrating the fleet and expect to launch a new round of general offensive in 40 days." Das-Vader said.
"Then you are telling me now that I can only wait in the face of Tang Xiao's provocation?!" Palpatine's anger is almost visible to the naked eye, and the surrounding things are constantly shaking and trembling under his extremely powerful Dark Side Force.
"Rafa system is located in a remote area of the galaxy and has no strategic value. I am mobilizing the surrounding defense fleets to go there and strive to block the Endless-class Super Carrier in Rafa system and sink it." Das-Vader said.
Palpatine rarely went crazy at this time. He suddenly frowned and said, "Since Rafa system has no strategic value, why do Sefrans-Tann lead Infinity there personally?"
Imperial Intelligence Department Minister Armand-Isard came out and said, "Your Majesty, we have reviewed all the information about Rafa system and found an anomaly."
"Say!"
Isard immediately controlled the terminal to project a large amount of information into the holographic projection in front of him, and said, "After inquiries, we have maintained a research team at Rafa system. The project studied by this team is a project called Saru people Ancient civilization. Moreover, this research project was started by Galactic Republic a hundred years ago. However, the research has not yielded any results, so it has been gradually abandoned. At present, we still have an annual subsidy of 100,000 credits, but there are few research results."
"You mean, Duchy of Dawn went for this Saru people's Relics?" Palpatine asked coldly.
Armand Isard nodded and said, "We have obtained key evidence on this matter. The research team of the Saru civilization, fourteen people led by the leader Yaco Vesti, has betrayed the empire. There are also other internal agents within the empire who are supporting them to sell the research results to the Principality of Dawn. And their research has made a major breakthrough, so Severance Tann took such a big risk, openly broke through our border outpost and broke into the Rafa system."
What he didn't say was that the latest information on this research project in his hands was already ten years ago. We don't know what the current situation of this team is, how many people there are, or even whether Yako-Vesti is still alive.
But in this case, the matter became a serious dereliction of duty on his part, Intelligence Department Minister, so he simply labeled him as a traitor and made the matter more serious.
Since there is a conspiracy to betray the country, then there must be Duchy of Dawn operating secretly behind the scenes, plus other traitors within the Empire, so compared with such a major event, Intelligence Department's dereliction of duty is not so obvious.
Sure enough, Palpatine's face became extremely gloomy, and he said slowly, "Now that we have evidence, all team members headed by Yako-Vesti are wanted immediately! And their family members will also be arrested!!"
"Yes!"
Sins of a Solar Empire II is really a time-killing artifact... I farmed for a while at the beginning, and three hours passed... The computer came over and besieged me, and the afternoon passed...
