742. Super Shock Soldier

Inner Rim of the galaxy, Manaan (Manaan).

This is an isolated ocean planet that was noticed because it produced a drug called Kolto. Among Sith Wars thousands of years ago, Manaan became a battlefield between Galactic Republic and Sith Empire, and this planet was also severely damaged in the war.

However, later on, as Bacta fluid was discovered, Kolto, which was less effective, was abandoned, and Galactic Republic pharmaceutical companies turned to the planet that produced Bacta fluid.

Therefore, Manaan was abandoned, and the planet's indigenous people, Selkath, dived into the ancient city deep in the ocean to isolate themselves from the world.

Even now, in the space around the planet, you can still see a large number of Relics left over from the war thousands of years ago. The ruins of battleships, the ruins of space stations, and even dehydrated corpses that were well preserved in the vacuum.

Because the location of Manaan has penetrated deep into the hinterland of Galactic Republic Inner Rim, and this is not a place where any larger hyperspace channel passes, the transportation is not convenient, so there have been no garbage merchants visiting it. After all, they are too lazy to deal with Inner Rim Territories, Republic outpost that can be seen everywhere, and endless questioning by border guards.

But on this day, Manaan had a hint of movement.

After a fierce flash of white light, a huge battleship appeared in the universe. This battleship doesn't have much paint on it. It just maintains the original metallic color of the armor. Coupled with the rough workmanship of many outer armors, it gives people a rough industrial feel and an unpopular cold atmosphere.

What is even more frightening is the exaggerated size of this battleship.

14,100 meters in length!

This size is now the largest battleship in the entire galaxy, followed by Republic Navy and the old Commander-class Dreadnought, which is 8,000 meters long. Of course, Commander-class is already a battleship from the previous era. If it were to confront this battleship head-on, it would be conservatively estimated that it could last for 61 seconds...

Well, 60 seconds is the main gun recharging time.

There is no doubt that this super battleship is Fourth Civilization's most powerful battleship - Ragnarok-class Titan warship, Plague!

On the somewhat compact bridge of the battleship, Admiral Fourth Civilization Navy Sefrans-Tann sat in the captain's position a little tired. A medical robot behind her was gently massaging her mechanical arm and stimulating her tired body with just the right amount of current to soothe her.

Das-Lilim stood in the direction of the console. When he saw the picture returned by the sensor, he smiled coquettishly, "Hehehehe, what a coincidence. There are so many battleship wreckage here, great! Send out engineering ships immediately to push those metal garbage over!"

"Yes!" The adjutant on the side immediately saluted in response.

"According to the comparison of database information, these wreckage should be left behind by the Sith Wars flagship thousands of years ago and are the battle fortress of the Sith Empire," another officer said.

Das-Lilim's eyes turned cold, "Isn't this great? Let those stupid Siths in the past take a good look at how Galactic Republic's destruction should be done! Process these wreckage into cannonballs and store them! Send a signal to the responders, we will complete the supplies within three days!"

"Yes!"

Then, Das-Lilim twisted his waist and came to Sefrans-Tann. He looked at her and said lightly, "I didn't expect that you could actually bring Plague to Inner Rim of the galaxy. This really makes me admire you..."

Sefrans-Tann opened his eyes and snorted coldly, "With your poor wisdom, you naturally don't understand how I navigate the unpredictable hyperspace channels in my hometown."

Darth-Lilim curled his lips, "This time you have made a contribution to the master's great cause, but I have to remind you that hyperspace... is not empty."

She stood condescendingly in front of Sefrans-Tann, but there was indifference in her eyes, "If you directly use the Force to connect to hyperspace like this, if you do it too many times, you may be noticed by unknown beings. Even in In Jedi Order, such an approach is also an absolute taboo. Except for Jolus-Master Tholme, no one else will be allowed to try this. Therefore, in order for you to live longer and serve my master better, you'd better do less of this kind of thing."

"You are just a fallen Jedi apprentice. Don't act like a master all day long. Take care of yourself first, idiot." Sefrans-Tann retorted.

Das-Lilim turned around and walked away.

Plague Titan warship is hidden among the ruins of the war in Manaan. This place is only 4 seconds away from their target - Kato-Neimoidia, which is very close. But again, there is no direct hyperspace channel connection between the two planets. If you want to get there, in addition to switching to the hyperspace channel, you can only use the method Sefrans-Tann has been using before, and use the Force to navigate the hyperspace navigation.

The engineering ship on Plague started working, transporting the surrounding debris to Titan warship, and then the smelting factory on Plague would process these debris into huge projectiles that can be used for the main gun launch.

In order to maintain absolute confidentiality on this voyage, and to better pass through the complex hyperspace tributaries, Plague did not carry the projectiles of the 500-meter-caliber super cannon. The combined weight of these sub-caliber projectiles with a diameter of 300 to 400 meters and scatter projectiles with a diameter of 5 to 20 meters reaches hundreds of millions of tons, which is also a very heavy burden.

In fact, this is also the reason why Plague has very poor maneuverability. Just as Das-Pregas commented on Ragnarok-class Titan warship during his lifetime - this is not a particularly advanced warship, but a Doomsday Weapon that a civilization made with all its strength when faced with life and death. Everything is extreme.

For this terrifying firepower, Ragnarok-class basically sacrificed everything he could. The only thing that can show superb shipbuilding technology is the accumulation of materials, structure, and energy reflected in this huge ship. Without the efforts of countless scientists and the baptism of countless wars, such a warship would never have been built.

This is why Dath-Pregas has never connected the blueprint of this battleship with Dawn Star Planet. On the contrary, he is more inclined to believe that it is the creation of an ancient civilization.

At the same time, several standard hours later, some transport ships controlled by robots arrived at Manaan and began to deliver various supplies to Plague. In order to deceive others, these transport ships did not leave after they arrived, but hid together.
