2301. Official declaration of war
After Koru sub-fan D'ron issued a statement against Rendili StarDrive, almost everyone in the entire galaxy immediately understood that Galactic Empire planned to repeat what happened to Trade Federation on Rendili StarDrive!
However, the biggest difference between Rendili StarDrive and Trade Federation is that they are now part of Duchy of Dawn!
This action of the Galactic Empire is equivalent to putting his hand directly into Duchy of Dawn's pocket. This is absolutely intolerable!
However, in fact, in terms of legal principles, Galactic Empire's behavior is completely defensible. Because first of all, Duchy of Dawn is now apparently subordinate to the Galactic Empire, so Rendili StarDrive can naturally be regarded as a company of Galaxy within the Empire. On the other hand, although Rendili StarDrive belongs to Duchy of Dawn, it is not a state-controlled enterprise of Duchy of Dawn.
Yes, although Adele-Ulan, the top director of Rendili StarDrive, is the wife of Grand Duke of Dawn Tang Xiao, Duchy of Dawn does not directly hold shares of Rendili StarDrive.
Therefore, although everyone knows that Galactic Empire's claim to Rendili StarDrive is just a cover, and everyone also knows that this is just an excuse for the Galactic Empire to declare war on Duchy of Dawn. But in a legal sense, this claim is really tenable!
Koru Ya-fan D'ron issued an ultimatum to Rendili StarDrive, requiring the company to open all borders and release all investigation team personnel within 24 standard hours. Planet Defense Fleet laid down his arms and accepted the reorganization of the Galactic Empire.
Faced with such a rude request, Rendili StarDrive seemed very calm. The company spokesperson said very calmly that Rendili system has not installed a fence, but the Empire is welcome to come anytime. The members of the investigation team have now sent Unknown Regions to mine. If the Empire really misses it, you can join their team. Finally, Planet Defense Fleet is here, please Imperial military send someone to receive it as soon as possible.
Naturally, this kind of nonsense makes no sense.
But the real big news is yet to come!
At 14:00 on August 5, Duchy of Dawn's current Prime Minister Daphne-Clement held a press conference to publicly address Galactic Empire.
Duchy of Dawn claimed that Galactic Empire's previous war against Trade Federation was a complete act of plunder, a despicable and despicable act that even interstellar pirates were ashamed of. In order to satisfy his own selfish desires, Galaxy Emperor Palpatine shamelessly robbed and plundered Trade Federation. Not only Trade Federation, but also the property of Core Worlds nobles deposited in Wealth World was embezzled by Palpatine.
Now, Galactic Empire is preparing to use the same means to rob Rendili StarDrive. For such behavior, Duchy of Dawn feels ashamed for the Galactic Empire, believing that such a suzerain country has no ability, no morals, no bottom line, and is completely unable to fulfill its responsibility as the ruler of the galaxy.
To the Everbright people of the galaxy, Galactic Empire has become a robber and criminal, worse than the pirate of Trandoshan.
Duchy of Dawn calls on the Galactic Empire to return to his lost ways as soon as possible, return all the wealth plundered from Trade Federation and Wealth World, disband the redundant fleet, use citizens' tax revenue correctly on infrastructure construction and economic development, and become an ideal regime that benefits the people. If Palpatine can learn from the experience and change his past, Duchy of Dawn is still willing to recognize Galactic Empire's status as the suzerain.
Finally, regarding Galactic Empire's plundering behavior against Rendili StarDrive, Duchy of Dawn is willing to stand on the side of justice and justice and say no to all illegal plunder. And is willing to help all those whose freedom and property have been violated and to fight against the invasion of bandits.
This tit-for-tat statement was quickly submitted to the Galactic Empire in the form of a formal diplomatic note. And this speech also officially clarified his attitude.
Rendili Planet is here! If you dare to come, then fight!
August 5th at 23:00.
Galactic Empire issued a formal announcement - Rendili StarDrive refuses to accept the ultimatum. From now on, Galactic Empire will use all means to protect its own interests and ensure the return of lost assets. Anyone who blocks Galactic Empire's legitimate demands will be regarded as an enemy by the Galactic Empire and will be attacked mercilessly!
At 2:40 a. m. on August 6, Duchy of Dawn officially declared war on the Galactic Empire!
At 2:50, Galactic Empire declared war on Duchy of Dawn!
At 3:30, Duchy of Dawn established First Task Force with the Eriadu garrison as the core, and Ankolon-class Titan Warship Xuanwu as the flagship. It sailed away from the Eriadu spaceport, jumped into hyperspace, and lost its trace.
At 3:35, Duchy of Dawn set up Second Task Force with the Yago-Dur planet garrison as the core, and Ankollon-class Titan warship Taowu as the flagship, sailed away from the Yago-Dur planet spaceport, entered hyperspace and jumped, losing track.
At 5:30, a fast fleet of Duchy of Dawn set off from Christophsis and attacked the garrison of the planet Rattatou (Radnor), sinking one Aquitenes-class light cruiser and four frigates.
Since then, the war known as 'Second Galactic Civil War' has officially begun!
At 7:09 a. m. on August 6, Rendili Planet command center.
"General! The astronomical observatory sent an emergency communication. According to the Astronomical Observation System display, an abnormal gravitational source was found in the Rendili system Planet Five orbit!" the messenger said loudly.
Snap!! The pointer in General Trench's hand hit his hand heavily. He pointed in this direction and shouted loudly, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, Particle Beam Lance aim immediately, count down to 60 seconds, and fire two volleys! Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk."
Rendili Planet In the outer space, 20 Calamity-class battlecruisers were lined up. Particle Beam Lances were already in a charging state. After receiving the order, they immediately began to turn and aim.
[Countdown 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... launch!!] The captains of each battleship gave the order, and Particle Beam Lance was launched instantly!
20 extremely bright beams of light instantly pierced the dark universe! Then charge up and shoot again! Recharge and shoot again!
After three volleys, 60 bright rays of light gradually dissipated, leaving only a spiral red light that continued to dim at its original trajectory.
As time passed, the hyperspace detectors deployed on the periphery continued to transmit real-time images from the Planet 5 orbit.
About ten minutes later, the bright beam of Particle Beam Lance came to the empty space and flashed past.
And at the moment Particle Beam Lance passed by, something seemed to be disturbed by the huge energy focus! The space became distorted, and then one battleship after another appeared out of thin air!!
