2376.The Empire Strikes Back (2)
Return to the planet Yago-Dur, or directly attack Fondor Planet?
This is a multiple-choice question before Sefrans-Tann. Planet Yago-Dur is now unable to support itself. Facing more than five times the strength of its troops, plus Executor-class Super Star Destroyer who is trading injuries for injuries like crazy, General Ling Liang has done its best, but has also reached its limit.
One of the disadvantages of starting the war early is that there is only one Novalith Cannon now. One Novalith Cannon was not enough to threaten Fondor Planet, so Das-Vader immediately threw away Fondor Planet and rushed out.
Because in this case, Darth-Vader, he can fully count on himself to capture the Yago-Dur planet first before the fall of Fondor Planet.
Galactic Empire Losing Fondor Planet is certainly a big deal, but if Kingdom of Dawn loses the Yago-Dur planet, it will directly result in the door being opened!
Apart from anything else, the Givin must be resentful for losing his hometown, and Kinyen, who follows Gran, cannot hold on to his hometown. As a result, two races with a population of tens of billions began to turn against each other, and the blow to Kingdom of Dawn was even more fatal.
So what to do now?
"Tell Ling Liang that she must rely on her own strength to defend the planet Yago-Dur. And I will not give her any assistance." Sefrans-Tann said coldly to the staff officer. She didn't even want to explain to General Ling in person, and immediately threw herself into the plan to attack Fondor Planet.
On October 8, Darth-Vader's fleet had taken control of the outer orbit of the Yago-Dur planet and began to Orbital Bombardment the planet.
Ling Liang, led by First Task Force, does not dare to fight rashly due to lack of strength. They can only adopt a long-distance harassment stance, using Calamity-class battlecruiser's Particle Beam Lance to continuously fire from a distance to harass Imperial fleet's bombing operations and possible landing operations that will follow.
The location where her fleet is currently stationed is in the Space Shipyard area about 1 astronomical unit away from the planet. This is where the Titan warship was built on the Yago-Dur planet.
At the beginning, in order to keep the construction of Titan warship confidential, the construction site was not built in the planet's synchronous orbit. Instead, it was chosen to be far away from the planet and build an independent space facility in a location with relatively gentle gravity. In addition to the Titan warship shipyard, it also includes a large space port, supply station, and even a space station that can accommodate 20,000 people!
Now, with the outer reaches of Yago-Dur's planet lost, Titan shipyard has become Ling Liang's last stronghold. She can't leave here, otherwise, the isolated and helpless planet Yago-Dur will be completely captured!
A large number of engineering ships and supply ships continue to come from the rear to repair the Ling Liang warship on the spot, especially the Xuanwu Titan warship, which must restore its combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
At the same time, Sefrans-Tann led the strongest Second Task Force in a circle, threatening Fondor Planet from another direction. The main reason for being able to carry out strategic maneuvers like this is because Kira planet was occupied, so that Galactic Empire had lost control of the southern line of Hydian Way.
On October 9, Sefrans-Tann captured Bestine Planet (Bestine) under a fierce attack, and in the early morning of the next day, a large number of fleets entered Fondor System!
At the same time, Das-Vader discovered something very embarrassing.
He can't capture the planet Yago-Dur!
Although more than 200 Imperial-class Star Destroyers have been bombarding the planet for two full days, orbital cannons are still being fired from the Yago-Dur planet to fight back.
Even though the surface of the planet has been blasted with lava everywhere and flames rising into the sky, it seems to have no effect.
After careful scanning, Darth-Vader discovered a very serious problem - the Orbital Defense Cannon used by the Yago-Dur planet to fight back were all built underground! These Orbital Defense Cannons are all built under rock formations more than 5,000 meters underground. Each launch has only a very narrow range to be launched through such thick rock formations, but the Givin defenders don't care. If they can hit, they will hit, and if they can't, they will join in the fun.
Because almost all the buildings and cities on the entire Yago-Dur planet are built underground!
The Yago-Dur galaxy is a Three-Body galaxy. The existence of three stars makes the gravitational environment of the galaxy unpredictable and extremely dangerous. The planet Yago-Dur has passed by extremely close to the star hundreds of thousands of kilometers away hundreds of times in history!
So now the surface of Yago-Dur's planet is covered with reflective and extremely hard obsidian rock layers. In addition, the Givin has been continuously strengthening this planet for tens of thousands of years, adding countless supports from the inside out and driving countless extremely hard reinforcement structures into the rock formations. They have built their own cities several kilometers underground, and the support structures of these cities are all extremely strong!
Even at the bottom of their cities, hundreds of huge artificial gravity systems were built to ensure that the city could still maintain normal operation even if the planet lost its rotation.
It can be said that the entire Yago-Dur planet is a super fortress built over tens of thousands of years! Such a fortress-like structure, in turn, ensures that the planet remains intact during the extreme astronomical phenomena of the Three-Body galaxy.
For example, in the last battle of the Yago-Dur planet, the planet was thrown out directly by the gravity of the star, flying around the galaxy like a pinball. If it were any other planet, it would have disintegrated long ago!
But the planet Yago-Dur is still strong. Just as they are now facing the bombardment of hundreds of Star Destroyer, they remain motionless!
Darth-Vader stood on the bridge of Executor, staring from a distance at the planet Yago-Dur, which appeared to be blazing with flames but was actually unscathed. His cold mask obscured his entire expression, and only the heavy breathing coming from the respirator was still so chilling.
I don't know if he is currently scolding Galactic Republic for his incompetence. Why did he force a tough race like the Givin to go to Separatists, and then gave them a super fortress that is almost impossible to conquer!!
From the Clone Wars period Galactic Republic's multiple attacks on the Yago-Dur planet until now, countless battleships and countless soldiers have died here. But now, even though he has defeated Guardian's fleet, facing the planet itself, he can still only look back and sigh.
"Continue to surround the planet and be alert to Separatist fleet. Send Acclamator-class assault ship to launch a landing operation on the planet Yago-Dur!" Das-Vader said coldly, "No matter how much it costs, the planet Yago-Dur must be captured!!"
