860. Doom and tranquility
21BBY, January 32, Ragnarok-class Titan warship was being towed to Port Pament for repairs. The once famous Plague was suddenly attacked by the Jedi Knight team when passing by Trogan.
The brave Jedi Knight Anakin-Skywalker and his master Obi-Wan-Kenobi, as well as who followed them Jedi apprentice Ahsoka-Tano, leading the elite Clone Army 501st Legion, launched a surprise attack with only two Hunter Class Battlecruisers.
The Confederacy of Independent Systems fleet escorting Plague has 1 Deceiver-class destroyer, 8 Generous-class frigate and 2 Defiant-class light destroyer, but such superior strength still cannot stop the attack of Jedi Knight.
Anakin-Skywalker and others flew fighter jets to directly disperse Confederacy of Independent Systems's fighter group. In this battle, Confederacy of Independent Systems's latest model Tri-fighter made its debut. Although it could not save the defeat in the end, it still shot down Obi-Wan-Kenobi's fighter jets.
However, Obi-Wan-Kenobi was also lucky. Before losing control, his fighter jet crashed directly into Plague's Hangar Platform. Plague's Hangar Platform was blown up before, and was later repaired and barely usable. It was mainly used for the takeoff and landing of engineering spacecraft and SCVs, so there was no protective measure at all.
So Obi-Wan fought his way into Plague, once again paralyzed the battleship's command center, and captured the Commander and Quarren general Weathers Andu of this Confederacy fleet.
General Quarren, who wanted to have an addiction to Titan warship, became a prisoner in such a muddle. In fact, if he had stayed on Deceiver-class destroyer honestly, such a thing would not have happened at all.
Finally, Anakin-Skywalker and Ahsoka-Tano also risked their lives to get into Plague. After they took control of the control center, they locked the rudder of the battleship, and then let Plague hit Trogan with full power.
After that, the three masters and apprentices squeezed into a Delta-7 fighter jet, squeezing the narrow cockpit to the limit. Anakin freed up his right foot, and Obi-Wan stretched out his left hand to control the fighter together. They narrowly escaped Plague before being captured by the planet's gravity. After they came out, the cockpit was shaped like what they were.
For several days, the antennae on little Ahsoka's head were flattened into an oval shape - this is the shape of a fighter jet hatch. It took at least a week to recover.
With a terrifying impact and explosion, Plague Titan warship crashed onto Trogan.
The impact of this supership even caused violent crustal movements on the planet, triggering a sustained earthquake of magnitude 10 or above, and forming a new mountain range of more than 4,000 meters high at the edge of the plate.
Fortunately, there are no permanent residents on Trogan, only a few robot outposts of Confederacy of Independent Systems. Otherwise, this collision will definitely cause a catastrophe of life.
Plague Titan warship was attacked and destroyed, which caused a great impact inside Confederacy of Independent Systems.
Plague, which had been promoted as a heroic battleship and an invincible battleship, was actually attacked on Confederacy of Independent Systems's own territory. The people and legislators were very dissatisfied with this.
Demonstrations broke out on hundreds of planets, and people took to the streets to question how the war funds they had contributed by tightening their belts were used, and why such a humiliating failure occurred.
Councilors Xu Draon Planet also expressed their concerns directly to Confederacy of Independent Systems's Supreme Leader Count Dooku in parliament. They believed that The destruction of Plague is a very bad omen, because it shows that even after a series of previous failures, Galactic Republic still retains the ability to launch attacks anywhere on Outer Rim Territories.
These congressmen also expressed concerns about the course of the war, and several planets even began to hold referendums to discuss the possibility of withdrawing from Confederacy of Independent Systems, withdrawing from the war, and declaring neutrality.
Count Dooku had to forcibly suppress these opposing voices. On some planets where the disputes over neutrality were more serious, several leaders of political factions suddenly died of sudden illness or shot themselves in the back of the head. This made the farce calm down a lot.
And Prime Minister Dawn Star Planet Francis-Underwood personally went to Laxus Sub-planet and then visited Count Dooku's office. According to what a security guard at the door said privately, they heard the roar of Francis before the office door was completely closed.
"Dooku!! Give us back Titan warship!!!"
Count Dooku can only promise repeatedly in the parliament that the next offensive against Mid Rim Territories will surely achieve a series of great victories, which will erase the pain caused by the destruction of Plague.
At the same time, he also commissioned a Trandoshan garbage salvage team to go to Trogan to recover the wreckage of Plague, and used these remains as materials to build a monument to Plague in front of the Parliament Square in Laxus Sub-planet.
In front of the monument, there are examples of Republic warship that were sunk and destroyed by Plague in its short and heroic life. Among them, the three reduced models of the 8,000-meter-long Commander-class Dreadnought are at the front, and these reduced models are all made to look like they were destroyed, demonstrating the powerful destructive power of Plague.
Afterwards, Count Dooku continued to announce that the construction of the second ship of Ragnarok-class Titan warship would begin at Port Pament, and that this warship would undergo a series of modernization improvements on the original basis to further enhance its combat effectiveness.
The name of the second ship, Count Dooku, originally wanted to be named Doomsday, to avoid the name 'Plague', which seemed to make Das-Sidious very sensitive. However, a group of MPs headed by Francis-Underwood made a fuss in the parliament and insisted on naming the second ship 'Son of Plague'.
Count Dooku was worried that this name would irritate Das-Sidious again, so he pinched his nose and came up with various reasons to prevaricate. Later, he even lost his temper and had a quarrel with Francis-Underwood in the parliament.
In the end, both sides took a step back and named the second ship Tenebrous (Tenebrous), which is the name of Das-Tenebrus. And Count Dooku guarantees that after Tenebrous is completed and put into service, the captain will still be Sefrans-General Tann.
This farce finally came to an end.
From the end of January to February of 21BBY, this war-burned battlefield in the galaxy rarely calmed down.
In addition to the constant fighting on some planets of Outer Rim Territories, their main fleets have stopped moving, whether it is Confederacy of Independent Systems or Galactic Republic.
However, this will be the last calm before a bigger storm.
