2503, Death Star reconstruction plan
As Geonosians rioted, Galactic Empire was under tremendous pressure.
First of all, within the Empire, a large number of MPs headed by Senator of Alderaan Bail-Organa have made very sharp criticisms of the Empire's policies. They believe that such a huge project as Death Star is a waste of people and money, and it cannot be supported by the Empire's finances and must be stopped.
Bail-Organa also directly raised their arms and shouted, let terrorism completely disappear from the Empire! And Death Star is synonymous with terrorism.
At this time, the heavy losses caused by the Geonosians riot made Palpatine's losers and Imperial Loyalty Committee's MPs unable to defend themselves.
The angry Palpatine directly announced that Imperial Senate would adjourn the meeting indefinitely, and forced Imperial Engineering Department to carry out the Death Star project to the end.
In addition to the riot of Geonosians, this incident also has a very fatal problem - that is, why did Kingdom of Dawn fleet appear in Tarassia? How did they learn the location of Death Star project, and when did they collude with Geonosians.
Investigator the Empire attributed Emperor Karina's previous spontaneous and covert resistance actions to collusion with Kingdom of Dawn. In this way, the matter becomes even more serious - Kingdom of Dawn is not only colluding with Geonosians, but also started the secret arrangement quite a long time ago!
This is equivalent to saying that the DS-1 combat space station project has been riddled with holes from the beginning!
How could this happen!
Intelligence Department Minister Armand-Isard, as well as Blackhole who controlled Intelligence Department behind the scenes, made them suspicious of Palpatine.
Armand-Isard began a large-scale internal investigation of the Empire. He promised Palpatine that within the next three months, the leak of Death Star would be thoroughly investigated. Everyone involved will be severely punished.
In order to regain the emperor's trust, Blackhole also stepped up his actions. He sent High Inquisitor Mar-Skandar directly to Tagge Company to prove to His Majesty the Emperor that this time Death Star's construction work will be directly supervised by Inquisitorius.
For this reason, he sent High Inquisitor Mar-Skandar to Tagge Company under tremendous pressure. Because Orman-Tagge has always been extremely hostile to these the Force organizations. However, in the end, under the personal mediation of Blackhole, the two parties reached an agreement on jointly dealing with Das-Vader.
Orman-Tagge accepted Mar-Skandar's entry and began to carry out clearing activities within the family. Imperial Inquisitorius will also cooperate with him to convict those family members who need to be purged in the name of the Empire. This makes Orman-Tagge justified in dealing with those people.
And Blackhole will also stand firmly on the side of Orman-Tagge in possible future struggles, and both parties agree to jointly fight Das-Vader.
This is considered a political alliance.
It is not difficult to see from this alliance that Orman-Tagge have made up their minds to complete the construction of Death Star for Palpatine, and use this as a springboard to join the core power circle of the Empire.
He immediately started working without waiting for the family's internal rectification to be completed. The first step is to clean up the messy Death Star construction site.
Now Tarassia is no longer usable. The planet has been completely destroyed, and not a single ground facility is left. Now this planet has become the grave of tens of millions of Geonosians.
The corpses of Geonosians, who launched an uprising within Death Star, were all dumped on the planet, plus the huge amount of garbage cleaned up from Death Star.
Tarassia is now full of lava and volcanoes left by Orbital Bombardment, as well as tens of millions of Geonosians corpses and the remains of engineering robots.
The aborigines of the planet, Tarassians, were also completely exterminated. Another race has been wiped out from the galaxy.
This planet that once prospered due to the construction of Death Star has now become Death Star, which is more terrifying than hell, and will soon be forgotten.
Then, Orman-Tagge sent his third brother Silas-Tagge as a representative to go to the outer space of Tarassia During the period, Afshin-Admiral Makati's fleet took over the Death Star team now managed by Galen-Erso. At the same time, there were also huge amounts of bribes. Relying on these bribes, Silas-Tagge successfully gained the support of the guard Fleet Commander Afshin-Admiral Makati.
Then, Silas-Tagge will immediately begin to evaluate the current situation of Death Star, and start installing the hyperspace engine as soon as possible to move Death Star to a new location.
The plan to directly drive Death Star to Scarif was still rejected. Imperial military believes that Scarif has not been exposed yet. If If Death Star drives over, the planet's location will be discovered by Kingdom of Dawn and Rebel Alliance, thus affecting the construction work of Death Star.
Orman-Tagge agreed to this plan after discussing it with his subordinates. However, he also proposed a new plan - to complete the installation and construction of the Death Star conventional system on another planet, and at the same time form the best and most elite team to go to Scarif to independently complete the design, construction and testing of the Death Star super laser system.
After that, when the regular project of Death Star is completed, and then go to Scarif, the combination of the super laser system and Death Star main body can be completed within a month or two, and Death Star can immediately form combat effectiveness.
Then, there is still a chance to launch a general attack on Kingdom of Dawn from Scarif before Kingdom of Dawn can react!
That's right, Scarif is Galactic Empire's next phase of the general attack. Qidian. After Death Star is completely completed, the Empire will assemble all its fleets, set off from Scarif, attack Dawn Star Planet, and destroy the country in one battle!
After this plan was submitted to Emperor Palpatine, it was approved. Palpatine transferred Wilhuff-Tarkin back and immediately went to Scarif to perform his duties and preside over the R&D and construction work of Death Star Super Laser Weapon. But he also specifically told Tarkin that Cutting-Edge Technology Alliance's opinions need to be fully considered in terms of construction and research and development plans.
Palpatine Of course, it is impossible to leave such a huge plan as Death Star to one person to manage. As always, he arranged for Wilhuff-Tarkin opposite Orman-Tagge, so that the two of them should be jointly responsible.
It's just that this time there is a clearer division of labor. Tarkin is responsible for safety, and Orman is responsible for research and construction.
Before the plan to rebuild Death Star was launched, Orman-Tagge also responded to their wishes and presented a congratulatory gift to Emperor Palpatine.
As 10BBY came to an end and everyone began to prepare for the New Year's Eve celebration, on October 27, a seemingly small fleet appeared at Geonosis.
This Imperial fleet consists of 10 Imperial-class Star Destroyer and a ball. It is small in scale and looks a bit strange.
However, it is precisely because of such a small fleet that we can reach here quietly. Southern Galaxy, where Geonosis is located, currently belongs to the three-nothing zone. This area is nominally occupied by Kingdom of Dawn, but Kingdom of Dawn has designated this place as Free Trade Zone. To put it bluntly, it is to let the planet here fend for itself.
Free Trade Zone The planetary liberal movement here is very powerful, and it is also a breeding ground for the Rebel Alliance. When Rebel Alliance was developing before, it took advantage of the gap period when Galactic Empire rebuilt 14th Army and intercepted a large amount of supplies. Eventually, Ryloth, the former capital of the 14th Army, became one of the most important members of the Rebel Alliance.
With Ryloth as the core, Rebel Alliance has a very strong power in Southern Territory, and they are constantly exporting revolution to the surrounding areas, and uprisings occur one after another.
Therefore, the administrative situation of this star area is very chaotic, and Kingdom of Dawn is only guarding Christophsis, maintaining his nominal rule here.
But in fact, after Christophsis, Kingdom of Dawn's actual control over Southern Territory is very low.
This small fleet secretly passed through the chaotic border and came directly to Geonosis. The ball in the fleet looks very conspicuous. It is a spherical spacecraft with a diameter of 1,900 meters. Its length is not much longer than the 1,600-meter-long Imperial-class Star Destroyer, but its volume is several times that of Imperial-class.
There are still about tens of millions of Geonosians left on Geonosis. Except for the group of people that Ganzo Daosuo took Queen's eggs to Hypori to rebuild, the ones here are the last Geonosians.
After the failure of Clone Wars, Geonosis has long since withered. This once industrial planet has no way to face the invasion. They have neither battleships nor fighter jets, so they can only activate Planetary Shield and urgently ask for help from Kingdom of Dawn.
As long as Planetary Shield delays for some time, the Kingdom of Dawn fleet stationed at Christophsis will be happy to eat this Imperial fleet.
But this time, things were a little different.
I only saw the spherical spacecraft starting to fly around the planet. As it circled, a large amount of data streams were continuously being sent out. It was obvious that the spherical spacecraft was scanning and analyzing something.
Then, the spacecraft stopped.
The parking position shocked Commander on Geonosis, and even made him feel terrified!
Because this location is exactly above where Planetary Shield Generator is!
The planet's star shield generator generally has two modes. One is external, built outside the planet. This Planetary Shield is relatively backward, but has a simple structure and is easy to install and maintain. The other is the generator installed inside the planet that is currently commonly used.
The location of the shield generator is generally secret, and it is separated from the noisy energy supply system and shield capacitor system, which is to avoid being destroyed by the enemy, thereby making Planetary Shield instantly lose its effect.
But now, the spacecraft is accurately parked above the shield generator!
Then, only the equator position of the spherical spacecraft was slowly opened, revealing the launch tubes with countless Blackhole holes. Immediately, countless light points shot out from the launch tube, and it was the super large Proton Torpedo!
This spherical spacecraft is actually equipped with hundreds of sets of super large Proton Torpedo launchers! Countless Proton Torpedos were fired like raindrops, and the position of each shot of those Proton Torpedos was slightly different.
The light blue proton cloud instantly exploded on Planetary Shield. The location of the explosion happened to be the short-term weakness caused by the energy transmission fluctuation of Planetary Shield!
During the projection process, Planetary Shield's shield energy will be affected by factors such as weather and electromagnetic radiation on the planet's surface, which will cause some fluctuations and cause a decrease in local area defense. These fluctuations are very short-lived and small in scope, and are basically difficult to catch in the ever-changing war process.
But this spherical spacecraft not only found the location of Planetary Shield Generator, but also launched all Proton Torpedo towards those short-term fluctuations!
One after another proton clouds exploded on Planetary Shield. Commander of Geonosians was desperate to see the reading of Planetary Shield drop rapidly. It was simply incredible!
In just one hour, Planetary Shield was penetrated by countless Proton Torpedo into a local hole. Then, those Proton Torpedo fell to the surface of the planet without any obstruction! Not only that, other Imperial-class Star Destroyer also joined the bombing ranks.
boom! boom!!! Proton Torpedo fell to the ground and quickly completely destroyed the surface defense of Planetary Shield Generator. With the continuous bombing, the generator was quickly blown into ruins!
The Planetary Shield on the entire Geonosis flashed and disappeared completely!
At this time, it was less than an hour and a half before Imperial fleet launched the attack!
Under normal circumstances, destroying Planetary Shield basically requires a large-scale fleet and takes a long time to forcibly destroy it. But the appearance of this spherical spacecraft destroyed Planetary Shield in just one hour. This was simply a miracle.
After destroying Planetary Shield, Imperial fleet immediately launched a devastating Orbital Bombardment against Geonosis. Not only that, the spherical spaceship also joined Orbital Bombardment, using Proton Torpedo to completely attack the underground factory on the planet.
A day later, Kingdom of Dawn fleet, who did not pay enough attention to the attack, arrived, but all they saw was a burning planet!
Geonosis, the surface was completely destroyed!
Together with the last tens of millions of Geonosians on the planet, they were completely destroyed by Imperial fleet.
Geonosians, the race that once created a splendid civilization, has finally come to an end. Only Ganzo Daosuo and Queen's eggs are left in this race, surviving on Hypori.
