2676. Deep Sea Fleet's escape
Mid Rim, former Galaxy Thirteenth Imperial Army jurisdiction, Iskalon planet (Iskalon).
This is an ocean planet, and the surface of the planet is completely covered by sea water. The water temperature here is moderate, the climate is pleasant, and there are no native intelligent creatures living on this planet.
Because the hyperspace channel here is very unstable, although it is located in Mid Rim, there are basically no other races coming to colonize it. After all, in this galaxy, most intelligent races are terrestrial creatures.
Until 5,000 years ago, some aquatic races from other planets began to settle here and build their own colonies. A total of seventeen races came here before and after, including the familiar Gungan, Quarren, Mon Calamari and so on.
These races who settled here formed the "Iskalon Alliance", which means they broke away from their original races and regarded this place as the new Homeworld.
During their exploration, they discovered some very old Relics on the seabed. According to carbon isotope exploration, they found that these Relics were built for at least 100,000 years. Obviously, at least one hundred thousand years ago, there was a civilization on this planet. However, later, this civilization was completely extinct due to unknown reasons, and Iskalon planet became an ownerless star.
In this way, Iskalon Alliance lives in this isolated paradise planet. They do not conduct any external communication, and even the former Galactic Republic ignores it at all.
However, now, under the vast water of Iskalon planet, a huge fleet is hiding here.
Mon Calamari's, Deep Sea Fleet's.
Gial-General Ackbar are on their flagship 'Independence (Independence)'. This is a MC-85 battlecruiser with a length of 3438.37 meters. It is a flagship-level warship and the only one in the entire Deep Sea Fleet.
In order to build the Independence battlecruiser, Mon Calamari also received help from Corellia Engineering Company, and the construction was completed at the deep-sea dock of Dak Planet without Quarren being discovered.
Now, this Deep Sea Fleet's most powerful battleship is the flagship of Gial-General Ackbar.
Among the current Deep Sea Fleet, in addition to one MC85 battlecruiser, there are 20 1,300-meter-long MC80 battlecruisers, and 80 1,204.44-meter-long MC-75 battlecruiser.
These battleships form the core of Deep Sea Fleet.
In addition, there are hundreds of small and medium-sized warships mainly MC-30 frigate and MC-40 light cruiser as auxiliaries.
Here is the most powerful and core fleet in the entire Rebel Alliance. If this fleet is also wiped out, it will be nothing short of a devastating blow to the Rebel Alliance, who has just reestablished its own agenda.
However, now Deep Sea Fleet can only hide in Iskalon planet and dare not show his face at all. Because as soon as they appear, Darth-Vader's Death Fleet will immediately surround them from several galaxies from all directions and tear them apart completely.
Although Gial-General Ackbar has full confidence in the warships produced by their Mon Calamari and believes that they are absolutely capable of severely damaging Das-Vader's Death Fleet, doing so is also meaningless.
Galactic Empire can have more Death Fleet, but Deep Sea Fleet is unique to the Rebel Alliance.
Now there is an information gap between the two parties. Das-Vader does not know that this Deep Sea Fleet was built by Mon Calamari. After all, neither Mon Calamari nor Quarren could tell Galactic Empire this information.
So when Das-Vader was searching, his main focus was on the starry sky. He subjectively believed that the rebel fleet was hidden somewhere, maybe in the Little Star belt, maybe in the nebula, or maybe even at the edge of Blackhole. But the only thing he didn't consider was that this fleet was actually hidden underwater!
But as time goes by, this not-so-secret information will soon be obtained by Darth-Vader, and then he will immediately notice the ocean planet Iscalaurus.
At that time, he only needs to perform crazy Orbital Bombardment to evaporate all the oceans on this planet.
Like Dak Planet, when Planetary Shield is present, such an ocean planet has much stronger defense capabilities than ordinary rocky planets, but when Planetary Shield is not present, it is vulnerable to Orbital Bombardment.
This is the planetary version of the structure-resistant spacecraft and shield-resistant spacecraft.
However, Dath-Vader has blocked the entire hyperspace channel under the jurisdiction of the Thirteenth Army. As soon as his fleet starts to perform a hyperspace jump, it will be immediately discovered by the surrounding outposts, and then it will also be surrounded and killed by Death Fleet.
The situation has reached a desperate situation.
Dozens of the Rebel Alliance's operational staff were currently studying various strategies next to the holographic star map. They proposed a large number of plans, all of which were fanciful, but were quickly rejected one by one.
This discussion has been going on for two or three days, and by now, it is almost a discussion for the sake of discussion.
Because everyone attending the meeting knew that they had no way to escape.
Ever since their whereabouts were exposed in order to attack the main fleet of Galaxy Thirteenth Imperial Army, the situation began to deteriorate rapidly. Thirteenth Army's main fleet put up fierce resistance. Even though Deep Sea Fleet was in a sneak attack, and there was a famous general like Gial-Akbar sitting in command, it still took too much time.
And the siege of the Thirteenth Army capital, the planet Ord-Paldoran, was not smooth sailing. This led to the rapid arrival of Death Squadron from Das-Vader, sending a squadron to monitor the planet Ord-Paldoran, and then after the main force suppressed Ukio, Blitz came over like a kill.
Gial-General Ackbar quickly directed the fleet to evacuate and was not caught, but Das-Vader's dragnet had already shrouded it.
In the final analysis, it was Rebel Alliance's quick and easy action. They invested a lot of force in destroying Thirteenth Army. However, because Rebel Alliance's power was too dispersed and it relied heavily on the intelligence provided by infiltrators within the Galactic Empire, it encountered unexpected resistance and was destroyed by Das-Vader in one fell swoop.
But Gial-General Ackbar can't care less about complaining now. He understands the meaning of Deep Sea Fleet very well, and he also understands that this fleet must not be destroyed.
He has too many ambitions to display, and he has countless visions for that beautiful galaxy.
He has witnessed too much darkness in the galaxy, too much injustice, and even witnessed the cruelty of war with his own eyes, as well as the suffocating Human Supremacy, racism, authoritarianism, and J.G.ism of the Galactic Empire. He was determined to change all this, even at the expense of his own life.
But he once served as the guard captain of Mon Calamari King-Lee Char, and later commanded all the armed forces of Mon Calamari. He also has a very in-depth understanding of politics.
Gial-Akbar knows very well that Rebel Alliance is the platform closest to his ideal, but this platform is by no means perfect. In order for his ideals and ambitions to be displayed on the Rebel Alliance platform, he must have enough voice.
And Deep Sea Fleet is his right to speak.
The reason why he was able to lead Deep Sea Fleet to hide on Iskalon planet was because he was friends with Gavazai, the leader of Mon Calamari among the Iskalon Alliance, so he could barely convince Iskalon Alliance, who was isolated from the world, to accept them.
However, the longer Deep Sea Fleet stays here, the greater the pressure Gavazai is under. After all, Iskalon Alliance has a total of seventeen races, and they all know that once Galactic Empire discovers the existence of Deep Sea Fleet, it will mean catastrophe for their planet.
Why do you have to risk the lives and fortunes of the other sixteen races for your Mon Calamari matter?
Now, Gial-General Ackbar is meeting Gavazai, and Gavazai, on behalf of the Iskalon Alliance, gave an ultimatum to Deep Sea Fleet - Deep Sea Fleet must leave within three hours. And this is a unilateral notification, because after three hours, Iskalon Alliance will report this information to the Galactic Empire, clearing their relationship.
In front of the embarrassed Gavazai, Gial-Akbar sighed. He knew that these last three hours were already something that this old friend had tried his best to fight for. It is not difficult to imagine how Gavazai fought hard with reason in front of the representatives of the other sixteen races, and may even have given up many important interests, and it only took three hours to fight for it.
Otherwise, I'm afraid Death Fleet has already arrived.
"I will lead the fleet to leave. You should also report this information to Imperial fleet as soon as possible. They cannot discover our relationship." Gial-Akbar finally nodded, he was ready to die.
After sending Gavazai away, Gial-Akbar returned to the headquarters and saw that all the combat staff were silent. There was no doubt that they had no way to escape.
"We can only fight to the death." General Ackbar said, "Perhaps today, our freedom, our dreams, and Mon Calamari's attempts to get rid of control will all come to an end. However, we are fearless! We will use our lives to send a deafening roar to this galaxy! We will tell everyone that the spirit of freedom cannot be eliminated!"
The eyes of everyone around him became determined.
However, at this time, a voice suddenly came, "I think we have another way."
Gial-Akbar turned his head, only to see that the person speaking was a human being.
He is tall and muscular, with a shaved head, and is wearing a Imperial Navy white uniform with his badge torn off. Among Galactic Empire Navy, only general-level people can wear military uniforms of this color. However, compared to the general level, this person is too young.
He is only 18 years old.
Yes, he is the son of Wilhuff-Tarkin, Garrosh-Tarkin.
Although Garrosh-Tarkin comes from Tarkin family, he has a powerful father and an uncle with a lot of soldiers, but he deeply hates all the behaviors of the Galactic Empire. It was precisely because of his family and status that he saw many more Dark Side than ordinary people.
He firmly believes that Freedom and Equality is the quality a country should have, and he also believes that only Galactic Republic is the best country.
Therefore, under the pretext of going to Dak Planet to resolve the rebellion, he left the fleet led by his uncle Gideon-Tarkin, went to Dak Planet to find Gial-General Ackbar, and officially joined Rebel Alliance.
However, the Empire did not know about his betrayal and just thought that he had been kidnapped. So Emperor Palpatine personally ordered Das-Vader to find a way to rescue Garrosh-Tarkin. Although Gideon-Tarkin was aware of his nephew's betrayal, under such circumstances, he would never mention it.
Garrosh-Tarkin has been studying next to Gial-Akbar and rarely expresses his opinions. However, today, he stood up.
"What are your plans? Young man." Gial-Akbar asked kindly.
"Take me as a hostage!" Garrosh-Tarkin said directly, "Then go and negotiate conditions with Das-Vader and ask him to let us go! I am the son of Wilhuff-Tarkin, and they will definitely accept this condition."
General Ackbar shook his head and said, "But if this is the case, they will definitely take you back. After you return to the Empire, you may be under house arrest forever. You... will lose everything."
"I know." Garrosh-Tarkin nodded and said, "But this is the only way now."
He took a deep breath and smiled, "Although we didn't get along for long, this time is the most precious time in my life. Here, I got something I never got in the past eighteen years-fairness, freedom, and justice. I have seen too many Galactic Empire Dark Sides. Even if I am a beneficiary of them, I am ashamed to be associated with them."
He gave General Ackbar a military salute and said, "Even if I am under house arrest, I will watch every action and every battle of the Allied Forces! I believe that you will rescue me one day!"
Gial-General Ackbar also knew that now was not the time to be pretentious, so he solemnly returned the military salute, "I understand, Garrosh. The entire Rebel Alliance will remember your sacrifice, and I will do whatever it takes, even if I fight all the way to Coruscant, I will bring you back!"
"I'm waiting for that day." Garrosh-Tarkin smiled from the bottom of his heart.
Two hours later, Deep Sea Fleet started the engine, and hundreds of warships penetrated the ocean of Iskalon planet, flew straight into the sky, broke out of the planet's atmosphere, and while leaving the planet's gravitational circle, they began to calculate hyperspace navigation data.
However, Imperial Navy has already deployed a large number of Interdictor in the entire surrounding star field, and the calculation of hyperspace navigation is very slow.
And Iskalon Alliance has also informed Das-Vader of the location of Deep Sea Fleet.
Soon, a fleet of 40 Imperial-class Star Destroyer quickly arrived at Iskalon planet, and more fleets were on the way! They immediately launched an attack on Deep Sea Fleet!
However, at this moment, Deep Sea Fleet suddenly made an announcement on the public channel: [Galactic Empire Admiral, Garrosh-Tarkin, are among our flagships. If we are attacked, we will not be able to guarantee the safety of General Garrosh!!]
