761. The Terminus Planet battle breaks out!

The spaceport manager weighed the credit ingots in the wallet in his hand and walked away without saying a word. As for the believers, what kind of believers? The most indispensable thing in the vast galaxy is various religions. The doctrines and beliefs may be different, but one thing is highly similar——

Religious fanaticism.

Therefore, no matter what kind of believer you are, it is best not to mess with them.

The man in black didn't care about this. He just led the group of 'believers' and quickly disappeared into the night.

In fact, these people can really be regarded as some kind of 'believers', but they are a name that has disappeared for a long time but was once notorious-Bando Goza!

This cult organization was wiped out by Tang Xiao and Das-Maul!

However, this is not a resurgence of Bando-Gosa, but in order to implement the current plan, Ni Yongxiao obtained a secret spice formula from Tang Xiao, and this formula comes from Bando-Gosa.

Using Tatooine's specialty spice 'Death Stick' and adding unique materials to create a more extreme spice, through this spice, people can completely lose themselves in extreme excitement and become a person who only follows instinct...'Brainless One'.

This group of 'Brainless One' secretly sneaked into Fermos City with the help of internal agents.

And they're not the only ones either.

That night, these "Brainless One" began to move, and they were not all out, but scattered in many places Terminus Planet, and then moved sporadically.

Killing, destroying, robbing, setting fires, in short they were doing every possible bad thing.

Not only that, on Terminus Planet's black market, an unusual number of spices began to appear, and most of them were 'Death Stick', a specialty of Tatooine!

As a mid-grade spice, Death Stick is affordable to many people. In addition, these batches of Death Stick are all sold at low prices, which immediately caused a storm in the black market of the planet.

However, no one knows that a few of these Death Stick have added ingredients! If you suck enough of the additive Death Stick, it will turn into Brainless One, and this natural transformation into Brainless One is not under any control at all!

Suddenly, riots broke out everywhere on the planet Termunus.

But what makes the authorities very uncomfortable is that these riots are not large in scale, with only a few people at a time, but they are very scattered, and the source cannot be traced at all.

Terminus Planet Such traffic arteries are too complex to be managed effectively.

Three days later, the surveillance spacecraft of Dawn Star Planet suddenly broke into Terminus Planet under the protection of two Revenge-class light destroyer, publicly announcing that the cult organization Bando-Gosa had resurrected and was operating in Terminus Planet.

The Terminus Planet authorities naturally denied it and ordered the surveillance spacecraft of Dawn Star Planet to leave immediately and not to enter the range of neutral planets.

But the surveillance spacecraft of Dawn Star Planet is still unyielding. They claim that Terminus Planet is harboring the cult organization, and it is also Bando-Gosa who was jointly surrounded and suppressed by several major forces in the galaxy 10 years ago!

They demanded that Terminus Planet hand over the cult organization immediately and undergo a thorough inspection by Dawn Star Planet.

Terminus Planet naturally cannot agree and flatly refuses.

However, just as the two sides were arguing, Brainless One who were hiding on the planet Terminus Planet suddenly rushed out of their hiding places, setting off an unprecedented turmoil in the planet's capital Fermos City.

Hundreds of Brainless One poured into the streets from all over the place, killing everyone they saw!

This news was immediately detected by Dawn Star Planet's surveillance spacecraft, and Terminus Planet was immediately held accountable. The other party was wrong and had to say that he would immediately conduct a thorough investigation of the entire planet and thank Dawn Star Planet for his help.

But the problem escalated again.

Those rioting Brainless One seemed to have intentionally or unintentionally turned to the warehouse of a space port, and dispersed the completely unprepared defenders. In a warehouse that had not been sealed in time, a large number of Galactic Republic DC-15 Blaster rifle were discovered!

This time it's completely blown!

Governor of Dawn Star Planet Tang Xiao immediately angrily publicly accused Terminus Planet of providing war support to Galactic Republic under the guise of neutrality! Not only that, Terminus Planet also protected the cult organization Bando-Gosa. Such behavior is equivalent to war!

Three hours later, the first batch of 30 warships from the Dawn Star Planet fleet broke away from the hyperspace channel, destroyed the Interdictor outside Terminus Planet with lightning speed, broke into the planet directly, and surrounded it.

At the same time, Fleet Commander Matt-Admiral Horner issued an ultimatum to everyone on the planet - all spacecraft staying on Terminus Planet must leave the planet within 2 standard hours. Those who fail to leave after the deadline will be regarded as supporters of the cult Bando-Gosa and will be destroyed indiscriminately!

For a moment, countless eyes from the Milky Way Galaxy, who had not recovered from the previous General Grievous and Festival Offensive, once again focused on this remote transportation hub planet!

Dawn Star Planet VS Terminus Planet!

Nearly half a year has passed since the war broke out on May 22 until now on October 6. In this half-year war, Dawn Star Planet can be said to have become famous. They defeated Republic Fleet many times and even eliminated Galactic Republic's 19th Army.

Now Dawn Star Planet has been ranked in the top ten of the list of highly threatening targets by Galactic Republic Supreme Strategic Command.

This time, Dawn Star Planet showed his fangs again and bit Terminus Planet with ferocity. This battle immediately attracted a lot of attention.

20 Kohl-class Battlecruiser and 20 Sova-class Carrier began to drive away the spacecraft around Terminus Planet, and prepared to set up Interdictor for blockade.

And their reasons seem to be very sufficient. They are not only linked to the cult organization Bando-Gosa, but also have evidence that Terminus Planet secretly communicated with Galactic Republic. It seems impossible to refute.

Terminus Planet has not responded publicly yet. It seems that the internal situation is already in chaos and they have no idea how to deal with this emergency.

But...

The development of things was beyond everyone's expectation.

Terminus Planet suddenly announced publicly that he would abandon neutrality, join the war, and stand on the side of Galactic Republic!

At the same time, they also took out a speech that seemed to have been prepared long ago, and sternly condemned Confederacy of Independent Systems and Dawn Star Planet for their betrayal of splitting Galactic Republic, and condemned them for launching a war, causing hundreds of millions of casualties. From a humanitarian perspective, Terminus Planet will fight against the forces of Separatists to the end.

After receiving the news, Matt-Hona, even though he was usually gentle, was now very angry and immediately ordered fighter jets to take off to bomb Terminus Planet!

400 Vulture droid fighters took off from Sova-class Carrier to cover 90 Hyena-class Droid Bomberss that broke into the atmosphere and bombed three major Terminus Planet cities.

This also officially declared the outbreak of war!

Matt-Admiral Horner put his hands behind his back and looked at the holographic battlefield image with a serious face.

All I saw was a group of Vulture droid fighter swooping down and bombing a spaceport indiscriminately. Dense blasting laser beams shot down from the sky, exploding countless flames on the spaceport's buildings and spaceship berths.

Then Hyena-class Droid Bombers began to fire cluster rockets, and powerful rockets fell from the sky like raindrops.

boom! boom! boom!!! The violent explosions almost never stopped.

The small amount of security forces and some bounty Hunter in the spaceport rose up to resist. They flew spaceships to attack, or they picked up every weapon they could find on the ground and shot into the sky.

But it was still to no avail, and soon the spaceport turned into a sea of fire.

Vulture droid fighter is still hovering in the air. As soon as it finds a moving target, it will immediately swoop down and fire a burst of fire.

"General, we have destroyed 27 spaceports on Terminus Planet. According to the scan results, 24 large spaceports on the planet are still alive. We should launch a second wave of bombings." The combat staff came over with the report.

Matt-Hona nodded, "Let Hyena-class Droid Bombers return to replenish ammunition, and launch the second wave of bombing in 20 minutes. Let the pilots of Wraith fighter prepare and eat something. After the second wave of bombing is over, take off immediately and carry out the third wave of targeted clearing!"

He raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "Our ground troops are scheduled to arrive on the battlefield in two hours. Before that, we must ensure that we have control of the planet's air to facilitate the landing of troops."

"Yes!" The combat staff immediately responded with a salute, and then arranged the work.

In the first wave of air strikes, Terminus Planet suffered heavy losses, while Fourth Civilization fleet only lost 20 Vulture droid fighter, which can be said to be minimal.

After launching missiles and cluster rockets, Hyena bomber began to return to Sova-class Carrier, continuing to replenish ground-attack missiles and cluster rockets, and also carried incendiary bombs, preparing to deal a devastating blow to Terminus Planet's space port.

However, at this moment, the alarm suddenly sounded loudly on the Fourth Civilization fleet flagship!

The radar soldier turned to Matt-Admiral Horner and shouted loudly, "General! A hyperspace jump has been detected! The fluctuation is very strong, this is a fleet!!"

Matt-Hona was shocked, "How is that possible? Is it Republic Fleet?"

"General, could it be that Galactic Republic was prepared in advance?" the combat staff officer said.

"Judging from Terminus Planet's reaction, this is indeed the case. Galactic Republic can naturally see the importance of this planet to us. It seems that we are preparing to deal with the opponent's fleet. Take off Wraith fighter immediately!" Matt-Hona said.

"Then the bombing of Terminus Planet will be suspended?" the combat staff asked again.

"Pause." Matt-Hona nodded.

About 2 or 3 minutes later, the sensor showed that there was an extremely violent white light coming from the other direction of Terminus Planet, and then 10 Hunter Class Battlecruiser appeared here!

These Hunter Class Battlecruiser unceremoniously immediately launched an assault in the direction of the Dawn Star Planet fleet, and opened fire first!

"Hypermatter Railgun starts charging! The opponent's warship starts the first round of salvo immediately after entering the effective range! Take off 500 Wraith fighter, and it must be completed within 20 minutes!" Matt-Hona kept giving orders.

"General, the hyperspace fluctuations are still continuing. The opponent's fleet is still coming Jedi." said the radar soldier.

Matt-Hona nodded, turned around and asked, "How long will it take for our follow-up fleet?"

"The hyperspace channel from Manfarr to Terminus Planet is small in scale. This time we passed 40 large warships at once, and there are still 3 Luukri-Hok-class battleship that need to pass. When the channel is stable and the next batch of large warships can pass, it is estimated to take more than 10 hours." the combat staff replied.

"After the Luukri-Hok-class battleship transporting the army arrives, let us gather other fleets in Manfarr to come in batches for reinforcements." Matt-Hona said.

"General, maybe we should not let the army come. After all, there are still huge threats in space." said the combat staff.

Matt-Hona shook his head and said, "We must launch landing operations on Terminus Planet as soon as possible. Repeatedly fighting with Galactic Republic on the space battlefield is not a result we can bear."

"But our batch of warships includes all 20 Sova-class Carrier, which puts us at a great disadvantage in fleet operations." The combat staff continued to make the conclusion.

Matt-Hona thought for a while and said in a deep voice, "Execute the order."

"Yes!"

At this time, the explosive laser beam launched by Republic warship had also shot over, causing ripples on the shield of the Fourth Civilization battleship.

However, at this distance, the temperature of the explosive laser beam dropped very quickly and its power also weakened a lot, so the shot was still acceptable.

The two sides continued to approach, and the 40-meter-caliber Hypermatter Railgun from 20 Kohl-class Battlecruiser launched the first salvo. However, only one shell hit the target, which greatly damaged the shield of one Hunter Class, but all other shells were evaded.

This also reflects the shortcomings of these two weapons.

Energy Weapons diverges quickly in the cold space, and it is difficult to maintain focus at ultra-long distances.

Although the range of kinetic energy weapons is theoretically infinite and the power will not decay, their speed is very slow for astronomical distances. If the distance is too far, it is easy for the opponent to evade.

The blaster laser beam is actually a plasma Sublight weapon. The specific situation is between Energy Weapons and kinetic energy weapons. There are problems of energy dispersion and evasion. Of course, explosive weapons are more powerful than Energy Weapons and have a faster rate of fire than kinetic weapons, which are also advantages.

There are indeed weapons that have the advantages of both without so many shortcomings, but they are still being developed in the laboratory.

That is Tachyon Lance!

After the first wave of testing, Republic fleet continued to approach.

Fourth Civilization fleet began to slowly retreat to deploy the defense line. Sova-class Carrier began to deploy heavy unmanned missile platforms around it, and Wraith fighter kept taking off to surround the warship, always ready to attack.

However, at this moment, bad news came again!

"General! A large number of additional targets appear on the surface of Terminus Planet! It is confirmed to be a hidden spaceport, with a large number of Z-95 Headhunter fighter jets taking off from inside!" said the radar soldier.

The combat staff officer's face suddenly turned pale, "Do we still have to continue bombing Terminus Planet? What about Republic fleet?"
