2360. Roundabout raid
"Geth! Geth fleet appears in the rear!!!" the radar soldier shouted almost at the top of his lungs.
In fact, there was no need for him to call, Gillard-Perine had already seen this terrifying scene from the holographic combat star map - more than 2,000 Geth warship, accompanied by a burst of space distortion, suddenly appeared behind the battlefield.
That's right, right behind Imperial fleet!
At this moment, the battlefield situation took a turn for the worse, from being evenly matched by both sides to Imperial fleet being attacked from both sides!
You know, with the firepower arrangement of Imperial-class Star Destroyer including Victory II-class Star Destroyer, the weakest point of these battleships is the rear!
Compared with Kingdom of Dawn, which can fire sideways, Divinity-class battleship, Hell Angel-class, Aiken-class, and Doomsday Battlefield-class battlecruiser, and whose overall structure is cylindrical, and can hit Kohl-class, Durov-class Battlecruiser at the back with one turn of the turret, these warships are naturally less worried about front and rear flanking attacks.
But the battleship design of the Galactic Empire, or Kuat Drive Yards, is basically in the shape of a triangular pyramid. Their huge butts are not only fragile engines, but also block the firing angle of the front turret. It is equivalent to their most vulnerable place, and it is also the blind spot for firepower.
If it were an opponent he had faced before, Star Destroyer would be invincible with its powerful frontal firepower. But now, as Kingdom of Dawn's technology continues to advance and various means of movement begin to appear, it is not impossible to directly attack the rear of the fleet.
Just like now...
The sensor operator turned back and reported, "General! Geth fleet is using warp speed navigation!"
"It's impossible for warp sailing to appear directly behind our formation with such precision!!" Gillard-Perine slammed the table and said sternly.
As a means of super-light navigation, warp speed navigation is very difficult to accurately locate. Generally speaking, it can only be roughly positioned, so as not to rush into the star. This point is actually similar to hyperspace jump. Tactical hyperspace jump has been a problem that Galactic Empire has not been able to solve until now.
But now, Geth warships did it right under their noses!!
Originally, Geth fleet had been disabled. There were more than 10,000 warships at the beginning. In the first battle leading to the hyperspace channel of Ansion Planet, nearly 6,000 ships were sunk. The remaining 4,000 ships were damaged a lot in the battle of Ansion Planet, and now they only have more than 2,000 warships left.
The size of Geth warships is too different from that of Imperial-class Star Destroyer, and their threat to Imperial-class Star Destroyer is already very limited. So even if they didn't participate in the war this time, Gillard-Perine was not surprised. Because if it were a human crew, their morale would have collapsed long ago after experiencing these two tragic losses of more than half the crew. That is to say, Geth, as Mechanical Lifeforms, can launch attacks again and again without fear of death, but even so, their battleships are dilapidated and need to be repaired.
Unless the number of Geth warship is very large, there is a sufficient threat, or...
Attack from both front and back!!
"Retreat! Don't be reluctant to fight! Preserve the strength of the fleet as much as possible!" Gillard-Perine immediately issued the order, "The fleet immediately turned around and destroyed Geth fleet first!"
At this moment, among Geth fleet, a Geth Dreadnought whose length was enlarged to more than 900 meters, a Geth unit came over with a glass of juice in its hand, came to an elderly woman wearing a very wide black robe, and said in a very polite electronic voice, "The voyage has ended, we have arrived at the tactical position. Luminara-Master Unduli."
Luminara-Unduli, who was meditating, opened her eyes and looked at Geth unit in front of her. She felt very uncomfortable in her heart.
Because she understood that what was standing in front of her was the super killing machine that had caused countless massacres in Northern Galaxy, causing the extinction of Yamrii, the loss of Homeworld by the Kyle-Dor people (Ploo-Kong's race), and the disappearance of at least dozens of races!
However, standing in front of Geth, I couldn't feel any violence from them at all. Everything they did was just proceeding step by step. What should be done and what should not be done are all determined very precisely. Maybe when they massacred the city in a planned way and turned millions of people into Corpse Puppet, they also did it in such a planned way.
Even for this precise warp speed voyage, Geth very thoughtfully prepared a 900-meter-long dreadnought for her, installed a life support system for her alone, stocked food, drinks, and even a circle of green plants exuding fragrance next to her meditation platform!
Luminara-Unduli closed her eyes and took a deep breath again. She knew that she had to suppress these discomforts now and cooperate with Geth and Kingdom of Dawn for the time being. Only then can we get an opportunity for New Jedi Order to grow and develop.
Moreover, Luminara-Unduli still fully approves of the Galactic Empire. She saw all kinds of exploitation and oppression at the Galactic Empire at Mid Rim and Outer Rim Territories. In comparison, the policies at Kingdom of Dawn are much better.
As long as it doesn't have anything to do with Geth.
She stood up, took the juice from Geth unit's hand and drank it in one gulp, allowing her to recover physically and mentally from the fatigue caused by the continuous warp speed navigation. Then she said coldly, "Get my fighter ready, and then act according to the battle plan. Destroy Galactic Empire's fleet!"
"We have finished preparing your ETA-2 fighter, Luminara-Master Unduli." Geth unit said, leading her to the elevator.
At the same time, the news that Geth fleet directly returned to the rear of Imperial fleet through warp speed as planned was also conveyed to the commander-in-chief of Commerce Guild Fleet Mal-Tuke.
"The time has come, and now Imperial fleet has completely become my possession!" Mal-Tuk raised his hand and slowly grasped it, as if what he was holding was Imperial fleet. His expression was also a bit ferocious at this moment, "Then, harvest it! Winning this game is my glorious victory!!"
He turned around suddenly and said to T-series tactical robot, "Call those two Jedi Knight over."
"Roger!"
"No need, we are always paying attention to the battle situation." A handsome but extremely cold voice came from behind Mal-Tuk.
Mal-Tuke turned back with a sullen face, his disgust for Jedi Knight was clearly visible on his face. He looked at the two young men in their 20s behind him and said coldly, "Since you have seen it too, then take action! If you want to cooperate with us, you must show your sincerity!"
