2399, Battle of Bilbrin Planet (中)
However, although it was said that Bilbrin Planet was to be captured immediately, it still took about 10 days for Commerce Guild Fleet led by Mal Took.
Because many of the armed asteroids around Bilbrin Planet operate automatically, he must clear a path out of these armed asteroids before he can land on Bilbrin Planet.
And seize this period of time, Lieutenant General Thrawn led Imperial fleet back to Palanci Planet, and seize the repair time that was obtained at the expense of the entire Bilbrin Planet. He continued to recruit battleships from other places or rotate damaged battleships to the rear. He even negotiated a deal with Kuat Drive Yards on his own initiative to trade in old battleships for new ones.
Kuat Drive Yards originally had a very good relationship with Dunn-Vesex. Dunn's wife Lila-Vesex is now Chief Engineer of Kuat Drive Yards. Therefore, Dunn's most capable generals are in demand, and Little Kuat, the leader of Kuat Drive Yards, naturally provides strong support.
Kuat Drive Yards gave priority to a batch of warships that had not yet been delivered to Thrawn, and then recovered a batch of severely damaged warships from Thrawn, and extended the delivery period of the warships by three months.
Wilhuff-Tarkin They wanted to get new battleships, but Kuat told him that due to the loss of Fondor Planet, a large number of battleship parts were missing, so the construction period had to be shortened. Even when the investigation team sent by Tarkin came over, Kuat was able to show them those seriously damaged warships as unfinished warships without leaving them any excuse.
As for how to make the damaged warship look unfinished and brand new, this kind of thing is naturally familiar to industrial giants like Kuat.
Not only that, Lieutenant General Thrawn also organized the evacuation of Palanci Planet, transferring the wealth accumulated on this planet dominated by the financial industry to Scipio, the headquarters of the InterGalactic Banking Clan (S) in the rear.
At the same time, Thrawn is also actively preparing for war, striving to prepare his fleet in the shortest possible time so that the fleet can fight.
But at the same time, things were not going well for Admiral Maltuk.
First of all, although he has landed on Bilbrin Planet and occupied the planet, the various facilities and cities on the planet are very complicated. Thrawn also left millions of robots on the planet. These robots are all scattered and hiding in the dark corners of the city, waiting only to jump out and attack when they see a target alone.
The landing operation alone took three days, and the entire occupation of the planet took nearly half a month. Then he discovered that almost all the equipment on the planet was unusable and all the energy facilities had been destroyed. He had to rebuild the energy supply on the planet in order to get the planet to operate again.
Not to mention the constant attacks from the robots in the corners, which forced him to send a large number of troops to protect the engineers. Before this, tens of thousands of engineers had died while repairing equipment.
Of course, what troubles Mal-Took the most is the 4,000 armed asteroids surrounding the planet. Even if he chose the shortest route possible, he still destroyed more than 200 asteroids to land on Bilbrin Planet. But next, if he wants to assemble a fleet around the planet for supplies, he still needs to destroy at least 1,000 asteroids!
This is absolutely crazy!
In fact, it was not these troubles that really drove Maltuk crazy, but his vanity.
He is so eager to enter the galaxy Core Worlds and make great achievements!
Mal-Took is a person with a very sense of worry. He is very aware that with the fall of several wealth worlds and industrial worlds in the core circle of the galaxy due to the fall of the Trade Federation, the Neimoidians have become a group of homeless refugees.
Their only way out now is to become a member of Kingdom of Dawn and exchange their loyalty for a living space. Until now, Neimoidian does not have a planet that truly belongs to them. Instead, it has been scattered on the immigrant planets of Modell Sector, and many Neimoidian cities have been established.
In addition, Trade Federation's strength has been extremely weakened, and he also signed a contract of betrayal and handed himself over to Kingdom of Dawn, which caused their status to plummet.
Now among the several core races of Kingdom of Dawn, whether it is Salarian who is leading the field of scientific research and intelligence; or Vasari who possesses countless lost black technologies; or Muun who still dominates the financial industry; Vaxian, who has the construction experience of Megastructure and specializes in construction engineering; The Givin, who has a very developed industry and specializes in mathematics; and the mysterious Protoss, whose name I have only heard of. The status of these races is far higher than the current Neimoidian.
Even the next-level races, including Caladanian, Indjori, Gran, Celestian, Semirians, and Hutt who are secretly allied with Kingdom of Dawn, each of these races has its own advantages.
In contrast, the homeless Neimoidian has fewer and fewer chips in his hands.
As the only Neimoidian who has reached the high position of Admiral of the Navy in the Kingdom of Dawn army and can also lead the army alone, Mar-Tuk has naturally become their greatest hope.
As long as Mal-Tuk can lead the fleet to achieve unparalleled achievements, then Neimoidian will surely usher in another glory.
In fact, he does have this ability. He initially followed Trade Federation into Confederacy of Independent Systems's fleet, and fought with Galactic Republic from the early days of Clone Wars. Later, with the deliberate solicitation of Tang Xiao, Commander assisted Dawn Star Planet's fleet in many battles, almost all of which were victorious.
Now after leading Commerce Guild Fleet independently, he also defeated Gillard-Perine and Kendall-Ozir. It can be said that if the current Mal-Tuk is to be counted as a record, he can still rank in the top five among all the Grand Generals in this galaxy.
With such a foundation, what Mar-Touk wants is very straightforward - to enter Core Worlds! Destroy the financial center of the Galactic Empire, Scipio!!
Now the biggest obstacle in front of Core Worlds, Fortress Planet Bilbrin, has been opened in front of him, only one step away from his goal.
As long as he can continue to attack and trap Palanci Planet, he will be close to Scipio!
10BBY, February 13th, Admiral Mar-Tuke judged that Imperial fleet could not be given more time to repair, so he directly led the fleet to cross Bilbrin system and began to attack Palanci Planet, regardless of the fact that Bilbrin Planet was not yet completely under control!
