2316. Decapitation (Part 1)
There are only more than 400 the Empire battleships that can escape from the battlefield of Naboo, and most of them are Imperial-class Star Destroyer and Imperial II-class Star Destroyer. More than 300 cruiser-class battleships escaped. These small and medium-sized battleships were even more vulnerable to Consul-class aircraft carrier. If most of the Interceptor drone had not later attacked Lusankya Executor-class Super Star Destroyer, none of these cruisers might have been able to come back.
These are the total strength of Kira planet now, and coupled with the armed space station that has been destroyed once by the 60 Calamity-class battlecruiser, Kira planet's defense line is now riddled with holes.
Michel-Anser have made up their minds to live and die with Kira planet.
He knows better than anyone else that if he doesn't die here, he will still die after this humiliating defeat, and he will die in an extremely humiliating way. He may be convicted of dereliction of duty or treason. In short, all the blame for this failure will be placed on his head.
Imperial military has always been a result-oriented bureaucratic organization. As long as it fails, someone must take responsibility for it.
Michel-Anser wrote a long combat report, summarizing all the situations he encountered during this battle. Including the super mobility of the Star Gate, including Divinity-class battleship, including Consul-class aircraft carrier, including the improved Particle Beam Lance, and also includes Heavy Cruiser, which has been confirmed to be named Minotaur-class, and its combat effectiveness is comparable to Victory II-class Star Destroyer.
He believes that there is a generation gap between the Galactic Empire warship and the Duchy of Dawn, and this gap has not narrowed, but continues to widen. This war must be unscrupulous and must end very quickly, otherwise in the long run, the Empire may not be able to prevent the rise of Duchy of Dawn.
After that, he took a shuttle to fly to the largest spaceport and flew around Lusankya, which was under repair.
Now that all the fire points on Lusankaya Super Star Destroyer's body have been extinguished, hundreds of engineering ships are surrounding the warship, intensively repairing the warship, mainly repairing the armor belts that have been penetrated and melted. As for the damage to the internal facilities, it was too late to repair it.
In other berths of the space port, hundreds of Imperial-class Star Destroyer and hundreds of Light Cruiser are leaving the home port and entering the combat array.
They only had more than half a day to rest, and many warships only had time to carry out the most basic repairs, barely allowing the warships to move.
"General, Separatist fleet is approaching, 100 light minutes away from us!" the adjutant reported to General Michel-Anser.
Michel-Anser At this time, he hesitated again, because before him, there were also two options - fight or escape.
The battle will undoubtedly face a tragic defeat. The broken fleet and broken defense facilities cannot stop Duchy of Dawn's powerful and complete fleet.
So, what about running away? From a strategic point of view, escaping is undoubtedly the best option, which at least allows Galactic Empire to save more battleships, but for the Galactic Empire, this is an absolutely impossible option! Preserve vitality? This situation is absolutely not allowed! Imperial Navy There are only two ways - victory, or death!
So, still fighting? No... not even Galactic Empire can bear the loss of Executor-class Super Star Destroyer!
So... just let Lusankya escape? It's impossible, because once Lusankya turns around and flees, the morale of Kira planet's defenders will inevitably collapse, and they may simply surrender. Then Galactic Empire will not only abandon Kira planet, the long-established fortress planet, but will even completely accept all factories and supplies on this planet.
Absolutely not!
Bursts of dazzling light came from the porthole window...
"General! Separatist fleet has begun bombing with Particle Beam Lance!" the adjutant said eagerly.
"Board the ship immediately! Prepare to counterattack!" Michel-Anser's eyes became firm, and he had made up his mind.
At 21:00 on the evening of August 7, Sefrans-Tann led Duchy of Dawn Second Task Force to begin bombing Kira planet.
60 Calamity-class battlecruiser and 50 Paladin-class battlecruiser used the ultra-long-range Particle Beam Lance to bomb the armed space station and space port of Kira planet.
Imperial fleet could not hold on, and only relied on the armed space station and Orbital Defense Cannon on the planet's surface to fight back. Although this kind of mass projection weapon has a sufficient range, it is impossible for Duchy of Dawn fleet, which always carefully maintains a distance of 20 light minutes, to hit.
Imperial fleet persisted until 23:00 in the evening. In two hours, three armed space stations had been completely destroyed. The morale of the fleet officers and soldiers fell to the bottom. Some combatants on the armed space stations and space ports even mutinied. They believed that they could not fight back after being beaten passively, and Imperial fleet was also cowering. They regarded them as cannon fodder. They would rather surrender than be bombed to death in such a humiliating way.
The mutiny was quickly suppressed. Imperial Stormtroopers was extremely efficient and quickly arrested all the mutinous staff and immediately carried out public executions. But the shadow has always shrouded the hearts of all the Empire officers and soldiers at all levels, and despair is spreading.
General Michel-Anser finally made up his mind and took the initiative to attack. He sent his death letter to Imperial Center, and then led the fleet towards Duchy of Dawn's fleet at full speed.
Second Task Force flagship, Taowu Ankollon-class Titan warship bridge, Sefrans-Tann looked coldly at Imperial fleet on the holographic star map who rushed up with a desperate belief, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Hehehe... Even if you want to take the initiative to attack, you still have to leave Executor-class at the back of the formation?" Sefrans-Tann laughed, "Even at this moment, are also planning to save Executor-class as much as possible, and then at least send this super battleship back to Palpatine? Hahahaha... How stupid! Order all ships to advance at full speed and come up to me!"
"Yes!!"
I saw only Duchy of Dawn Second Task Force immediately began to adjust the formation. Two Ankollon-class Titan warship rushed to the front, followed by 12 Divinity-class battleship, and 10 Consul-class aircraft carrier held the formation in the center of the formation. Calamity-class and Paladin-class provided fire support at the end of the formation.
The whole army attacks!
For Galactic Empire's fleet, this rather tragic battle began.
But under the command of Sefrans-Tann, this battle is destined to become a one-sided massacre!
I only saw two Ankollon-class Titan warships with almost no pause. They turned on their engines and stared at the firepower of Imperial fleet as they rushed towards Lusankya!
This Executor-class Super Star Destroyer is their target!
Of course Imperial fleet couldn't let them succeed, almost all the artillery fire was directed at the two Titan warship! And here, Swarm II-type interceptor drone, which took off from Consul-class aircraft carrier, swept in like a dark cloud, providing support for the two Titan warship.
This indomitable trend is to take the head of the general among the thousands of troops!
