2223. Battle of Kato-Neimoidia (Part 1)
Galaxy Core Worlds, Kato-Neimoidia.
A huge fleet is gathering far away from the planet, just stuck in the gravity well range, and has not entered the planet's synchronous orbit, or maintained the synchronous operation of the planet's rotation.
This Galactic Empire's fleet has a total of 190 Imperial-class Star Destroyer, 80 Victory II-class Star Destroyer, 3 Pursuer-class aircraft carrier, in addition to a total of 30 Victory I-class Star Destroyer and Hunter Class Battlecruiser. In addition, there are more than 1,800 small and medium-sized warships including Vigil-class corvette, DP-20 anti-aircraft gunboats, CR-90 frigates, Aquitenes-class light cruiser, Marauder-class frigate, etc.
In the direction of the front of the fleet, countless debris and debris are floating here. The armed space stations and Gauss Defense Platform in this area have been cleared by the powerful firepower of the fleet.
But according to normal circumstances, this alone is not enough to launch a frontal offensive against the planet. Because the planet is constantly rotating, if you want to maintain a long-term offensive, you must keep pace with the rotation of the planet. Otherwise, as soon as you land from here, the planet will soon move to the other side, and then the landing troops will be waiting to be attacked on all sides without foreign aid and eventually be massacred.
However, if the offensive is to continue, then this fleet will undoubtedly face defense facilities in other directions of the planet. With such continuous consumption and attacks, the fleet currently assembled here will not be enough!
The Kato-Neimoidia direction is only the main attack point of the Galactic Empire, and the other two Wealth World - Deko-Neimoidia and Koru-Neimoidia are also launching attacks simultaneously. However, the other two planets have invested a smaller number of warships. The main task at present is to clear out the defense fleets on the periphery of these planets and cut off the supply transportation to the planets.
From the equator position of Kato-Neimoidia, bursts of fire continued to light up, and then powerful beams of light were launched. That was the planet's orbital defense system firing. Galactic Empire's warships also kept evading while firing back at the planet, but all their firepower was blocked by Planetary Shield.
Trade Federation uses the most advanced Planetary Shield here. While the orbital defense system fires, it does not affect the protection of the planet itself.
The two sides have been shooting each other in the air for a week, and during this time, Das-Vader has been waiting for the fighter plane he wanted.
The two-meter-tall figure wearing black armor and a black cloak stood on the bridge like this, with heavy breathing coming from the respirator. The terrible sense of oppression made every Imperial Navy officer and soldier around him stay silent.
"Sir... Including Troop 99, a total of 200 special operations units have been deployed." An officer came over and said.
Das-Vader nodded and said in that dull voice, "Then don't hesitate! Launch an attack immediately!"
Following his order, the huge Imperial fleet immediately turned on its engines, shields, and firepower! Densely packed Turbolaser cannons and missiles were launched in the direction of the planet. Not only that, after advancing thousands of kilometers and entering the range, the plasma cannons specially designed to resist shields also opened fire. Countless plasma clusters containing powerful EMP fell on Planetary Shield, causing countless energy ripples like water waves.
Sensing Imperial fleet's movements, the orbital defense system on the planet also opened fire with all its strength. Not only that, the warships that had been hidden in the planet's atmosphere also rushed out and fired wildly at Imperial fleet.
Generous-class frigate, Deceiver-class destroyer, Victory I-class Star Destroyer, Victory II-class Star Destroyer, Behemoth-class battlecruiser, Kohl-class Battlecruiser, various battleships began to appear from the planet's atmosphere. These are the assets that Trade Federation has accumulated over the years. Now they are ready to fight to the death with the Galactic Empire!
Darth-Vader commanded the fleet to launch a resolute attack. Under his command, the fleet was efficient and ruthless, like a sharp knife, constantly tearing apart the planet's defense.
But such an attack has little effect!
It's still the same reason - the planet is rotating. If you don't enter the synchronous orbit and just stand still and attack, then the orbital defense system that is currently fiercely fighting the fleet will soon move to the other side of the planet, and then the defense forces will have a whole day to repair and prepare. When I turned it around again, it was in perfect condition again!
However, Das-Vader is determined to achieve his goal no matter what! He strictly ordered all warships to use full firepower and concentrate their attacks on one point. Finally, despite the countless firepower and the destruction of more than 20 battleships, a gap was finally opened!
Taking advantage of the extremely short period of time for Planetary Shield to recover, one Acclamator-class assault ship, under the cover of 10 Victory II-class Star Destroyers, headed directly into the planet's atmosphere!
This Acclamator-class assault ship simply rushed in with a certain death mentality, and the other 10 Victory II-class Star Destroyer had no intention of living.
The powerful orbital defense firepower on Kato-Neimoidia almost tore apart Acclamator-class's Deflector Shield in a short time, but the landing ship still launched all Orbital Drop capsules at the last moment!
Boom! boom! boom!!! The three Orbital Drop capsules fell to the ground. At the moment they hit the ground, the bottom of the Orbital Drop capsule exploded. Relying on the reverse thrust of the explosion, the speed was reduced. At the same time, the airborne capsule disintegrated on all sides, allowing the crew inside to come out immediately.
From the three airborne capsules, more than 20 Clone Trooper wearing iron-gray polymer alloy armor ran out.
"Don't stay! Get out of here as soon as possible!" Clone Force 99 Commander, Hunter greeted loudly, "Crosshair, establish a sniper position immediately and observe the surroundings!"
As he spoke, he quickly counted the members of his team, nine in total. Including the original members Crosshair, Clearance King, technician, and Echo, as well as the members Iron Box, Beard, Ye Zi, and Rainbow that were later absorbed in the second phase.
Among them, Beard, Ye Zi and Rainbow had participated in previous military operations on Haruun Kal, and their cerebral cortex showed signs of activity. Research shows that they may have awakened a certain degree of the Force due to the special environment on Haruun Kal.
Iron Box was a medical soldier who performed outstandingly in the battle of Blade Fleet.
"You! Which unit are you from?" Hunter looked at the other two soldiers coming off the Orbital Drop cabin and asked loudly.
"We were originally affiliated with 212th Attack Battalion, but this time we are Special Operations Squad 118!" one of them said.
"Originally it was 501st Legion, this time it was Squad 47!" said the soldier from another airborne pod.
"You have reduced your personnel." Hunter looked at the several corpses in the airborne capsule and said, "If there are not enough people, reorganize yourself to ensure survival! Now, we need to separate and perform our own tasks!"
"Yes!"
