2627. G-Day...
9BBY, May 10th.
G day...
For the Galactic Empire, this is another ordinary day. The people of Outer Rim Territories are still standing up to fight against oppression. In order to ensure that their wives and children can have enough food and clothing, and in order to prevent the labor value they create from being taken away by those black-hearted tax officials, they do not hesitate to pick up crude weapons and confront Imperial Stormtroopers who are armed to the teeth.
The people of Mid Rim Territories are also busy with their arduous work. They cannot see promotions or salary increases. They hope that they can keep their jobs that are just enough for food and clothing. They didn't even have time to look up at the brilliant starry sky and imagine the romance on the other side of the starry sky...
No. In fact, most of the people of Mid Rim Territories will never have the opportunity to leave their own planet in their lifetime. Sometimes, compared to those Outer Rim Territories people who put their heads on their belts, Mid Rim's life is the most boring one.
But at least you can live, right?
Inner Rim Territories's enterprises and factory directors are having headaches for the development of their own industries. Whether it's workers' strikes or plunder from those Mega-corporations, they are cautious and walking on thin ice.
Sometimes they will vent their anger on the lower-level employees, or vent their accumulated anger and desires on the trafficked female slaves. But looking at the stars, they sometimes clearly understand that their destiny is not in their control.
What about Core Worlds? There was singing and dancing, prosperity arose, and the powerful were still enjoying their luxurious lives. They don't even need to run their own industry, because there will naturally be professional people to help them take care of it. So their life is not only about enjoyment but also enjoyment...
Sometimes they also think about life, philosophy, politics, and thoughts, but only for a moment, because they understand that any change may cause them to lose this kind of life, so maintaining the status quo is their highest pursuit.
However, it is indeed too idle. In addition to some novel entertainment methods, some dignitaries would even joke about the war between the Galactic Empire and Kingdom of Dawn when they came together to enjoy a luxurious dinner.
After all, for these powerful people, isn't war just a game for spending money? It's just that sometimes the money spent is so much that it's unbearable. However, a game is a game, and in the final analysis, it is just a pastime.
The game will never really fall on you.
Recently, in Core Worlds's official circles, there have been more and more topics about the Rebel Alliance. Because Rebel Alliance continues to wreak havoc, the industries of those Core Worlds powerful people have been affected to some extent - today's income dropped by 5 percentage points, with only more than 200 million credit points left. Oh, it's so sad. We must put pressure on the military to send out a fleet to catch all the troublemaking mud-legged people and burn them to death...
As for the war with Kingdom of Dawn?
No, this topic doesn't even need to be discussed. After all, Kingdom of Dawn is just a defeated enemy. Clone Wars was defeated and took the initiative to seek peace. What else can they be expected to do? Compared with the Kingdom of Dawn fleet deployed at the border, the Core Worlds dignitaries are more worried about the damage to their economic foundation caused by the Rebel Alliance's rampage.
In fact, in the past few days, compared with Kingdom of Dawn Northern Fleet, which has been moving strangely, the military changes that occurred in the territory of the Thirteenth Imperial Army, the agricultural planet Ujio, have made the dignitaries nervous.
The calls for canceling Thirteenth Army began to grow louder. Many Core Worlds dignitaries believed that the Thirteenth Army had consumed too many resources and it was not worth it. They suggested giving up the vast areas controlled by the Thirteenth Army and only retaining a few economically valuable planets such as Riss Planet, Ukio.
So a new round of quarrels started in Imperial Senate's venue. The members were quarrelsome and arguing for the interests of the powerful people behind the scenes. They tried their best to overwhelm each other and prove their worth in front of the powerful people.
On such an ordinary day, there was a hyperspace outpost located at Northern Galaxy.
Soldier Imperial Navy on duty Veneto yawned, took a sip of a refreshing drink, put the cup aside, and stared at the screen with his sleepy eyes.
Here is the Northern Defense Line built by General Northern Territory war zone, the military commander, Gillard-Perine. In order to detect the movements of Kingdom of Dawn Northern Fleet as soon as possible, he built 150,000 hyperspace outposts on Northern Defense Line, stretching for more than 20,000 light-years and involving more than 13,000 habitable planets.
Although most habitable planets have little strategic value, and some planets only have a few thousand inhabitants, but considering that Kingdom of Dawn has long been in cahoots with Geth, if these planets are occupied by Geth, the consequences will be disastrous. Therefore, Gillard-Perine still adopted the policy of comprehensive defense.
There are 150,000 hyperspace outposts with many overlapping surveillance areas, so the soldiers stationed at these outposts have an extremely boring life every day.
The number of people stationed at each outpost ranges from 4 to 50, depending on the size of the outpost. Moreover, due to the intense war in Northern Territory, Geth also continued to harass the rear with warp speed navigation, so the transport navigation here was reduced to the maximum extent. The supply ship usually came once every two months, and every time it took care of enough supplies, no one was seen after that.
Under such circumstances, changing shifts was out of the question, as many soldiers stayed in the hyperspace outpost for more than a year.
Veneto stared at the screen, feeling sleepy again. The principle of the hyperspace fluctuation sensor device equipped on the hyperspace outpost is actually very simple. It is just a part of the hyperspace engine. It is used to obtain the fluctuations caused by the passage of spacecraft in the hyperspace channel.
The screen of this device only displays a very simple blue ripple, plus three numerical values. Ripples represent the intensity of hyperspace fluctuations, and most of the time they are very gentle patterns. The three values are the detailed values of the ripples, the coordinates of the hyperspace channel corresponding to this point in time - this changes at any time, and the last is the relative time when each wave occurs.
Anyone would doze off looking at a screen like this.
Just as Veneto's eyelids gradually closed, his wife and son, whom he had not seen for a long time, began to appear in front of his eyes. He had not seen him for more than seven months. His son must have grown taller...
Suddenly, there was a rumble~~~~~a slight tremor. Veneto moved. He was about to give his wife a hug and tell her that when the war is over, our family will move to Planet Roodas to cultivate the blue wheat left by his father.
Rumble~~~The shaking continues.
Then, the beeping alarm sounded.
Veneto suddenly woke up from his dreamland. He subconsciously looked up and saw that the screen background seemed to turn blue, but he still didn't realize what happened.
He looked around blankly until he saw the cup he placed on the console. Ripples were constantly rippling on the drink inside!
This is impossible! The hyperspace outpost is a space building, and there is nothing here that can make the outpost shake!
Veneto subconsciously wanted to call the engineer inside the outpost. He was still sleeping. Wake him up and ask him to check the space anchor to see if there was a malfunction.
However, at this moment, he saw the screen again, and suddenly, his whole body froze!
Yes, the screen turns blue, but that's not because the background color of the screen changes, it's because...
The intensity of hyperspace fluctuations, both in amplitude and frequency, has reached the upper limit of equipment detection! The densely packed ripples with the largest amplitude have filled the entire screen!!
"Ah... this... no..." Veneto was stiff. He seemed to want to say something, maybe to wake up his comrades and partners, or maybe to send a distress signal quickly.
But the extreme fear prevented him from doing anything...
Because of the ripples of this magnitude, there is only one possible situation - the opponent's fleet is extremely large, and it is very close to you!
Suddenly, a burst of extremely dazzling white light flashed out of the porthole, making Veneto's eyes dazzled. When his vision returned again, he saw an endless metal wall in front of him!
Yes, it's a wall!!
Because through the porthole, he could see nothing but the endless metal structure!
Moreover, this giant metal wall is getting closer and closer to his outpost!
I don't know when the alarm stopped suddenly, a thin noise came from the communicator, the lighting system started to flash, and the hyperspace sensor also stopped working.
"Grrr... grrr..." Veneto made a strange sound from deep in his throat. He wanted to scream, but he couldn't make any sound at all due to the extreme fear!
"What happened!!!" The dormitory door suddenly opened, and several other soldiers in the outpost were awakened by the noise and rushed out.
However, when they saw the endless metal wall outside the porthole, everyone was stunned.
A light green light suddenly emitted from the giant metal wall and enveloped the entire outpost. Veneto only heard a rattling sound from the metal structure of the outpost, which was that the structure was being squeezed and deformed.
This is a tractor beam!
Then there was a sudden spin, and the entire outpost was caught by the tractor beam and thrown away. In the vacuum of space, the rotation speed of the outpost was not very fast. After Veneto adapted, he used the force to fly over and threw himself on the porthole.
Then he saw the true appearance of this giant metal wall!
That is a huge hemispheric structure! The diameter is more than 8,000 meters! No wonder you can't see the end through the porthole with limited visibility!
Behind the hemispheric structure is a complex-shaped but basically columnar hull. Yes, this is a huge battleship!
Veneto's body trembled violently. Even by visual estimation, the length of this battleship was more than 10,000 meters long! It is self-evident what it means for a battleship of this level to appear here...
Enemy attack... And it's...
All-out attack!!
As the outpost drifted further and further away, Veneto was finally able to see more.
The white flash continued, and one battleship after another left hyperspace and suddenly appeared in the starry sky. Although each of those terrifying battleships has a unique beauty, if you put yourself in their place, it will only make people feel endless fear.
There are even several battleships among them, and their length can reach about half of the largest battleship. That is also a huge size of 4 or 5,000 meters!
So many giant battleships appeared at once...
"Is this going to... destroy us the Empire?" Veneto murmured to himself.
Warships that have escaped from hyperspace navigation are still continuing to appear, and they have almost reached the limit of the carrying capacity of this hyperspace channel.
The white light almost blinded Veneto's eyes again.
Only one Divinity-class battleship was seen escaping from hyperspace, and then crashed into this small hyperspace outpost with an overall diameter of only more than 90 meters.
The outpost was completely knocked out again, rolling in the vacuum of space, and falling fragments and parts continued to spill out.
It seemed that she was feeling unhappy after being hit. The Divinity-class battleship raised its starboard side Group One Flagship-class laser array, and a faint X-ray flashed past.
This hyperspace outpost instantly turned into a ball of molten fire...
No one cares about what is in it or how many people there are, and no one cares about Veneto's simple dream... the beautiful blue wheat field, the wife who, although ordinary-looking and stout, is hardworking and virtuous, and the son who is sensible enough to work in the fields with him.
He didn't feel any pain, and it was over as soon as the flash of the flagship X-ray came on.
Nothing is left.
"General, our fleet has all completed the hyperspace jump." T-series tactical robot's rigid and straight voice reported.
General Trench stroked his chelicerae at the corner of his mouth, looked at the holographic combat star map, slammed his pointer on one of the planets, and said sternly, "Don't stop! Sublight engine, start at full speed! Send out the frigate formation, clean up, Interdictor! Tut, tsk, tsk, tsk..."
"Roger!" T-series tactical robot immediately conveyed the command.
I only saw hundreds of frigates separated from the huge fleet array, some of which were the classic Cobalt-class frigate, and there were more than 20 ships that were very ferocious in shape and all black.
Astonishingly, it is the frigate of Vasari—Ravasa Fighter!
These frigate formations were almost as small as ants in front of the huge Titan battleship, but they moved quickly and soon set off balls of fire in the deep space. That was the flames of the destruction of the hyperspace blockers deployed by the Galactic Empire on the border.
At the same time, piercing sirens also sounded on several Galactic Empire planets at the same time!
The highest enemy situation!
The border is under attack! Kingdom of Dawn main fleet appears!
The enemy fleet's target is...
Bilbrin Planet!!
