797. Geth's dark clouds
Galactic Republic Capital, Coruscant.
Jedi Temple In the meeting hall on the top of the central tower, including Master Yoda, Isi-Kos, Ploo-Kong, Sass Several Jedi Order High Council members, including Z-Ting and Opal Lanzisis, came here to discuss the recent attacks on Outer Rim Territories and Perrin Sector in the Milky Way.
Among them, Sass-Ting attended the meeting via hyperspace communication.
Now all aspects of the battle are very urgent, because Sefrans-Tann is attacking Nubian Planet, the headquarters of the Republic 2nd Legion, after joining the Trade Federation fleet, so Master Windu personally went to the front line to take command and was unable to participate in this meeting.
At the same time, Depa-Master Barris is also struggling with Haruun Kal, and has not received any messages from her for a month or two.
Apart from Master Shakti stationed at Kamino, there are other people with missions, and Adi-Master Gallia who have been confirmed to have died. Twelve-member High Council is the only five people who can still reach the scene.
Not to mention that Master Yoda needs to be in charge of Coruscant, and Ploo-Master Kong still needs to recover from the injuries he suffered when he was attacked by Fang-class battleship before. Now High Council can only use Isi-Kos, Sass-Ting and Opal Lanzixis!
"Barloi has confirmed the sacrifice, and the Force has already felt this." Ploo-Kong said.
"My fleet has arrived at Valk System and has launched a search and rescue operation. Judging from the current situation, the more than 1.4 million residents on Valk Planet are probably in danger. The specific situation requires further investigation." Sass-Ting said. It turned out that the reason why he participated in the meeting remotely was because he had already gone to the site of Valk System.
"One thing that concerns me a lot is that Barloi had clearly retreated from Valk Planet and sent out a distress signal. Why did it die after that? What happened?" Isi-Kos frowned and said.
"This is indeed contrary to common sense. Logically speaking, since he has retreated to wait for help, and Supreme Strategic Command also gave him instructions not to leave and wait where he is, he should not run around." Ploo-Kong said.
Sass-Ting said, "Barloi's spacecraft is not in Valk Planet. Now our sensors are scanning the entire galaxy in order to find their traces, but it will take some time. The most important thing is that we don't know if he has left this galaxy."
Master Yoda had a solemn face and said slowly with his cane in his hand, "Valk Planet is the seventh attack. A new enemy has appeared, I feel it. It is very important to find traces of the enemy."
At this time, a clone Commander appeared from the holographic projection of Sass-Ting. He performed a military salute and said to Sass-Ting: "General Sate, our Acclamator-class assault ship has entered the planet's atmosphere and is about to land!"
"Okay, start landing immediately! Pay attention to the search for survivors, and ask Acclamator-class to try not to fire directly, and use LAAT assault transport for air support." Sass-Ting said, "Pay attention to the living dead. According to reports, these living dead are more difficult to deal with than the virus-infected people we encountered in Christophsis."
"Yes!"
Sass-Ting turned to the communicator and said to Master Yoda and others, "I will sit on the battleship in space and report the combat situation to you at any time, and be prepared for possible enemy space forces."
"Thank you for your hard work in this battle. Finding clues is more important." Master Yoda nodded.
On the surface of Valk Planet, two Acclamator-class assault ships have entered the atmosphere. Galactic Republic 11,000 Clone Troopers boarded a large number of LAAT/I assault transport boats to begin landing operations.
Teams of Clone Trooper descended to the ground, quickly established positions, and then began to attack with the powerful firepower support of AT-TE walkers.
Their target is the largest cluster of living dead near this colony. Judging from aerial reconnaissance, this cluster stretches for 4 or 5 square kilometers and numbers more than 100,000!
Because the opponents were all the living dead, Clone Army did not land in the city. Instead, he directly found an open area near the corpses to land and directly started extermination activities with the living dead.
After Acclamator-class assault ship reduced the power of the Turbolaser cannon, it bombed those Corpse Puppet on the ground without damaging other things. Terrifying explosions continued to set off on the ground, and countless Corpse Puppet were blown to pieces.
LAAT assault transport also unscrupulously opened up his firepower and licked the ground crazily. Without having to consider the opponent's counterattack, there was nothing more exciting than driving a gunboat to lick the ground.
On the front, Clone Trooper directly formed a small team to launch an assault. Together with AT-TE walkers and AT-XT walkers, they built a powerful frontal firepower network. No matter how strong those Corpse Puppets were, or even if DC-15 Blaster rifle took several shots to kill one of them, they were still wiped out in pieces in the face of those high-power artillery fire.
The battle was going very well.
As the front advanced, some technicians immediately came down in shuttles to collect samples of Corpse Puppet for analysis.
"General, according to preliminary analysis, there is basically no moisture inside these corpses, they are completely dry, and the internal tissues of the body have also undergone alienation. The epidermis has become very tough, and it is difficult for ordinary blades to leave scars on their skin. And because the heat dissipation of the epidermis has also been improved, they also have a certain degree of resistance to Blaster rifle." The technician said.
Sass-Ting also forwarded these messages to Master Yoda.
"How do they move? What are those blue highlights on their bodies?" Is-Kos asked.
"This seems to be a nanoscale control device. After this control device is injected, it moves to key locations in the body through the empty blood vessels of these corpses, providing energy and controlling the corpse. The blue highlights we see are energy nodes. This energy is very efficient and can support the movement of this corpse for at least a month." The technician said.
"But even so, this kind of living dead still does not pose a threat to the regular army... If those T-Virus infected people are the by-product of Dawn Star Planet's use of Indjori biological weapons, then why do the enemies here spend so much effort to create this kind of living dead that has little effect?" Sass-Ting frowned and thought.
Master Yoda sighed deeply and slammed his crutch on the ground, "The meaning of fear, these living dead."
Ploo-Kong nodded and said, "Indeed, if these enemies create these living dead to attack the colony, this terrifying form can indeed cause panic and demoralize the defenders, making them unwilling to resist. If the colony's communications are blocked by interference, the people in the colony will soon fall into despair and chaos in fear, and will eventually be easily captured."
"In Barloi's report, these living dead were impaled on steel thorns. Were there any steel thorns found?" Sass-Ting asked.
"General, we did not find any steel thorns." Clone Commander replied.
At this moment, a communication link suddenly came in, "Report! We have found General Barloi's spaceship!"
