2222. The fall of Rosha
Three months have passed since Galactic Empire decided to completely eliminate Trade Federation and started direct and undeclared war.
Trade Federation put up a very determined resistance and the situation was tragic.
At the beginning of the war, Galactic Empire misjudged Trade Federation's determination to resist. Therefore, when attacking Rosha of Core Worlds and Vulpter of Deep core, they encountered fierce resistance and the offensive was frustrated.
But soon, under the leadership of Das-Vader, Imperial army launched a more violent attack, and used all possible means!
Imperial fleet launched a fierce Orbital Bombardment attack on Vulpter. Imperial-class Star Destroyer's powerful artillery fire blew up the entire planet's factories and military facilities near the equator over and over again. So much so that later, the dense blackness and flames in the equatorial part of Vulpter could be seen from outer space.
On the ground battlefield, tens of millions of robot armies were destroyed. The remains of these robots were piled high and left unchecked, forming terrifying metal plains one after another.
On September 16, the robot company on Vulpter - Arakyd Industries (Arakyd Industries) announced its unconditional surrender and withdrew from Trade Federation.
But Das-Vader showed no mercy at all. He personally entered the headquarters of Arakyd Industries, arrested more than 40 of the company's top leaders, and then publicly executed them!
Three days later, Arakyd Industries announced its reorganization, and all remaining assets and industrial systems were merged into the Galactic Empire. This company with a history of thousands of years was once extremely glorious. As one of the founders of Trade Federation, it is also known as the three major robot manufacturers in the galaxy together with Industrial Robot Company (Industrial Automaton) and Cybot Galactica (Cybot Galactica).
But now, only the ruins of the former glory remain. The entire Vulpter was almost destroyed in the war! Although this planet has been environmentally destroyed due to over-industrialization, it is the largest robot production center in the galaxy. It has now become a metal garbage dump.
On Rosha, the situation is even more tragic!
In order to capture this planet, Darth-Vader brazenly launched Order 37! According to this instruction, the Empire soldiers will fight on the assumption that the combat target is sheltered by a large number of civilians, and in order to ensure the achievement of the combat goal, the Empire soldiers will be allowed to fire on civilians!
Although the former leader of Rosha, Torreso Borre, chose to commit public suicide in order to awaken the people's resistance to the Will, it did not allow the hard-hearted Das-Vader to terminate Order 37.
After Galactic Empire's fleet broke through Planetary Shield of Rosha, it immediately began an extremely cruel landing operation. Moreover, Star Destroyer also carried out Orbital Bombardment. Although it did not target densely populated cities, it still carried out devastating blows to many industrial areas.
And in the subsequent street fighting within the city, even if Orbital Bombardment was not used, Galactic Empire's army still used bombers, small spaceships and long-range heavy artillery to carry out uninterrupted attacks. And in this process, there was no concern at all whether there were civilians in the city who could not be evacuated.
During the course of the war on Rosha, Galactic Empire carried out equal killing! As long as something that can move appears in front of you, just shoot it!
Counting from the start of the offensive in July, the capital of Rosha only lasted until August before being captured. But the resistance in other cities on the planet continues.
It was not until October 24th, in the last city on Rosha that was still resisting, that the flames of resistance were extinguished.
In this war that lasted for more than three months, more than 170 large cities on Rosha were destroyed, almost all industrial areas were plowed to the ground, and raging fires broke out in agricultural production areas. Thousands of years of construction on this once developed planet were destroyed.
What's even more cruel is that the total population of the planet once reached 14 billion, but when the planet completely collapsed, there were only less than 6 billion left. In other words, the number of people who died directly or indirectly in this war reached a terrifying 8 billion!
And in the foreseeable future, due to famine, environmental pollution and crustal activity caused by Orbital Bombardment, at most one-fifth of these 6 billion people will survive in the next few years. In other words, only one out of ten people on Rosha can survive in the end!
This cruel war was widely publicized by the Galactic Empire's propaganda agency as a typical case, hoping to serve as a warning to the monkeys. That cruel picture was constantly being circulated on HoloNet, and the text next to it was marked: The fate of the rebels!
However, Galactic Empire invested a large number of warships in this quick and quick attack. The number of capital ships participating in the Rosha battles before and after reached 300, and the army's strength exceeded 7 million. In order to ensure the supply of this huge army, Galactic Empire used more than 20,000 transport ships.
Fortunately, the battlefield is located in the Milky Way Galaxy Core Worlds. If it were in Outer Rim Territories, even Galactic Empire would not be able to withstand such horrific consumption.
During the course of the war, a total of 27 capital ships were destroyed by orbital defense fire, more than 90 ships were injured and returned to the factory, and the Army lost more than 2 million troops.
However, such losses did not stop Galactic Empire.
In fact, in September after Vulpter surrendered, Das-Vader immediately launched the next stage of the offensive. At this time, Rosha was still fighting fiercely on the ground battlefield, but there was no resistance at all in the outer space direction, so he immediately put his huge fleet into attacks on several other planets.
The war against Trade Federation has begun to enter the second stage - attacking Wealth World!
Trade Federation There are three largest Wealth World in Core Worlds, Kato-Neimoidia, Deko-Neimoidia and Koru-Neimoidia (Cato Neimoidia, Deko Neimoidia, and Koru Neimoidia.) Asia. Among them, the wealth on Kato-Neimoidia is the most impressive.
Of course, in order to protect these Wealth World, the defense force invested by Trade Federation is simply not comparable to other places!
For example, on Kato-Neimoidia, in addition to installing the most advanced and largest Planetary Shield system, more than 3,000 orbital defense systems are also deployed along the equator. In the outer orbit of the planet, there are more than 400 armed space stations. And Gauss Defense Platform, which introduced technology from Duchy of Dawn and built it, has more than 7,000 seats!!
Facing such a hedgehog-like defense, if we go head-to-head, the final damage ratio may be so great that even Palpatine will have a myocardial infarction.
Therefore, Das-Vader proposed his own combat plan - special operations!
