2225. Abnormal supply
[... This is orbital position No. 2111. We encountered a surprise attack by the the Empire elite team.]
[Kill without mercy.]
[We killed two soldiers, but the others ran away. These people move very quickly...]
[Karsa Factory reported that this place was also attacked, and a the Empire assault team was wiped out by us. They wanted to kidnap our engineers, but they didn't expect us to sneak in more than a dozen T-850s covered in bionic skins among the workers, hahahaha! He was captured alive and is being interrogated.]
[Don't mess around! Let Intelligence Department's torture experts deal with these prisoners.]
[Expand the search scope and give each Orbital Drop cabin number! The type of airborne capsule used by the Empire can each accommodate 12 soldiers. The search must not stop until I see the corpses with the corresponding number!]
[Banshee-Xita Squadron, your next cruise missions are 33, 79, 52, and 137. Please confirm the coordinate route.]
[Banshee-Xita Squadron received it, the coordinates and route are clear.]
[Imperial fleet retreated and asked the 'Christmas Gift' to come over as soon as possible.]
['Christmas gifts' are on the way, this time 230,000 tons.]
[We need more! There is a serious shortage of weapons on the planet, we must defend Bridge City!]
(Bridge City is the capital and treasury of Kato-Neimoidia, a suspended city built on a huge bridge arch rock formation.)
The technician monitored Trade Federation's military communication channel, raised his head and said, "In this battle, most of the teams we sent did not go well. It is currently known that Trade Federation has eliminated at least 76 of our teams."
Hunter opened the electronic map, looked at the target area on it, frowned and said, "If we go to the Orbital Defense Cannon position here to destroy it according to our original mission, I'm afraid the success rate will be very slim. We must find another way."
Crosshair said, "This is the combat requirement General Vader has put forward for us. Now Trade Federation has deployed a strong defense force on the planet, and the fleet cannot attack directly. Therefore, our mission is crucial and we must paralyze the planet's orbital defense system."
"Trade Federation must be focusing on their orbital defense positions. With our power, we can only die." Rainbow said, "Even if they die, the orbital defense system is still operating."
Hunter said in a deep voice, "We must find a way to mobilize their attention... The 'Christmas gift' in this communication makes me very concerned. They are obviously secretly transporting something to the planet... maybe supplies or secret weapons."
"Being able to call it by a separate code name shows that this thing may be really important." Rainbow said, "While the Trade Federation defenders' attention is now on the orbital defense position, we can check this piece of information."
Crosshair still couldn't accept it. "Our mission is to destroy the orbital defense position. This is an order." He paused and added, "Good soldiers, obey the order."
Hunter shook his head, "I will not lead everyone to die. Since we have arrived at the enemy's core hinterland, we should act according to the situation. We first stay away from the airborne area, and then collect intelligence and strive to deal the greatest blow to the enemy."
He specifically walked over, patted the technician on the shoulder, and said, "This is also for our comrades who sacrificed their lives..."
The technician nodded and said nothing.
After launching what could be described as a desperate offensive in the outer space of Kato-Neimoidia, Das-Vader asked the fleet to temporarily withdraw and recuperate, while requesting more reinforcements from Imperial Center.
Not only that, but all supply lines to the planet need to be cut off.
An intelligence officer brought a piece of statistical information to Das-Vader. She continued, "Lord Vader, Rosha's battlefield statistics have been released. The resistance on this planet does exist. With a very sufficient supply of weapons, in addition to a large number of standard assault rifles, there are also many heavy combat vehicles. According to statistics, this level of armament is simply not something Rosha can afford - the military industry on this planet was not developed before."
Das-Vader looked at this information. The heavy sound in the respirator made people shudder. He threw away the memory displaying the information and said coldly, "Trade Federation has also mastered unknown hyperspace channels and is constantly inputting weapons and equipment. Is it provided by Duchy of Dawn?"
The intelligence officer shook his head and said, "Although this is the most likely option, after a long period of investigation, we still found no clues that Duchy of Dawn exported a large number of weapons and equipment. Now the border between us and Duchy of Dawn is tightly fortified, and countless hyperspace outposts are monitoring their movements at all times. It stands to reason that such a huge input of weapons cannot escape our monitoring."
"I want to hear the conclusion." Das-Vader said in a cold tone.
"The conclusion is... the weapons and equipment obtained by Trade Federation may have come from within the Empire." The intelligence officer hurried over to pick up the memory, reopened another intelligence, and said, "Look, although these weapons and equipment are indeed owned by Duchy of Dawn, including The products of Citadel Standard Light Industry, Tyran Heavy Industries, and Fourth Group do look like they were sent from Duchy of Dawn. But in fact, they are not... the origin of these weapons may indeed be Duchy of Dawn, but they may not have been sent to Trade Federation in the first place."
"You mean, these are all second-hand weapons?" Das-Vader asked.
The intelligence officer nodded heavily, and she spoke faster, "Yes. During Clone Wars, Duchy of Dawn exported a large number of weapons to Separatists, and during After the destruction of Separatists, most of the weapons were not recycled and destroyed, but flowed into the black market through various channels. We believe that the weapons obtained by Rosha were once used by Separatists!"
"There are smugglers and arms dealers inside the Empire." Das-Vader's tone gradually became terrifying, "Let Hutt help us investigate! Jabba, have you found anyone else?"
"No, Jabba and his nephew Gorga seem to have disappeared, and took away most of Desilijic kajidic's property. But don't worry, we still have connections with Hutt, and we can ask them to help find who is operating the weapons that have recently flowed out of the black market." said the intelligence officer.
"There must be no mistake!" Darth-Vader dropped this sentence coldly, turned away and ignored it, and stood next to the holographic combat star map.
Crosshair was hiding in the jungle, adjusting the focus of the special tactical eyepiece on his helmet to clearly see the situation in the distance. Moreover, he couldn't help but gasp.
Over there is a very hidden transfer station, where a large rail transit vehicle is unloading a large amount of cargo. Only one of the truck compartments was opened, and three large robots came out of it.
These three combat robots are very simple in shape. Their short four-legged legs support two exaggerated twin-mounted Turbolaser cannons. Although they do not move quickly, each joint is very flexible and can easily fire at every angle.
Crosshair recognized this kind of robot, and he said in a deep voice, "It's Scorpion Annihilator Droids! When did Trade Federation get this kind of super robot?!"
