879. Malastare's war
21BBY, March 7th.
Fourth Civilization B Fleet Commander, Admiral of the Navy Sefrans-Tann led 35 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers to set off secretly and disappeared into the vast universe.
In cooperation, Fourth Civilization Intelligence Department provided the highest level of intelligence cover for this military operation. In addition to arranging a T-850 robot that was exactly the same as Sefrans-Tann to wander near the naval station, it also adjusted the departure times of many large cargo fleets, disrupted hyperspace fluctuations, and hid the movements of the small fleet.
At the same time, the entire dock where Blade Fleet is located was closed on the pretext of starting large-scale renovations, preventing anyone from having the opportunity to come into contact with the fleet and count the difference in fleet numbers.
In addition, Madam M also arranged for the Intelligence Department to send a large amount of false intelligence, including Fleet A, who was behind Terminus Planet, and Fleet B, who was behind Gerrenthum Planet, and started to pretend to attack Eriadu in the near future.
Because General Grievous had already launched operations in Antar, Dawn Star Planet's actions put 18th Army Governor Wilhuff-Tarkin on alert immediately, and immediately put all his subordinate troops on combat readiness.
And this is just the beginning.
Gabriel-Tosh and Selurite Special Operations Forces have been operating within the jurisdiction of the 18th Army. Recently, the frequency of operations has accelerated. Military officers and administrative officials at all levels of the 18th Army have been continuously assassinated. In just one month, more than 200 people have been murdered.
Wilhuff-Tarkin had to hold his nose to seek help from Jedi Order, and put all areas under martial law. Anyone entering or leaving the planet must undergo strict screening.
At the same time, after careful consideration, Republic Supreme Strategic Command decided to let Bosa go to help 18th Army.
Bosa is a race with extremely high IQ and very cunning. They have been the main generals among the Republic Intelligence Department for a long time. For some unclear information, they will even rely on their intuition to make some judgments that are not bad at all in terms of results.
Supreme Strategic Command mobilized 800 Bosa intelligence agents from various Intelligence Department gates. Under the leadership of four Jedi Knight, they went to Eriadu and began to confront Dawn Star Planet.
These Bosa intelligence personnel did play a role. They further blocked the security loopholes in the 18th Army's jurisdiction, strengthened intelligence collection and investigation of incoming and outgoing spacecraft, and made full use of Jedi Knight's predictive ability and combat effectiveness to inspect all suspicious locations.
This indeed made Tosh and Selurite Special Operations Forces encounter considerable difficulties in their assassination work. In the next five days, they succeeded only twice, killing four civilian officials.
However, for Sefrans-Tann, her goal has been achieved.
On March 12, Sefrans-Tann led 35 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers and suddenly broke into Malastare system without warning. Malastare Narrows instantly blocked a formation of Hunter Class Battlecruiser that was resting here and preparing to set off for Eriadu!
Because they did not expect an enemy attack at all, this fleet of 8 Hunter Class Battlecruisers was completely unprepared. They were completely stunned by the main gun salvoes of 35 Dreadnought-class chief cruisers before they even entered combat mode.
The environment around Malastare is quite special. Because there is a large and complex Electromagnetic Nebula, all hyperspace channels will pass through a relatively long and narrow area in Electromagnetic Nebula. This area is called Malastare Narrows.
More than ten years ago, a battle broke out between the Corporate Alliance and Republic Judicial Fleet here. This was also the first time that the navy founded by Fourth Civilization participated in the battle.
It is precisely because of the unique environment here that Sefrans-Tann's raid was possible - because when Republic fleet passed by here, the direction of action could be predicted.
Sefrans-Tann's genius command methods did not give Republic fleet's Commander any chance to react. After breaking up the opponent's formation, they divided the eight Hunter Class Battlecruiser ships and finally defeated them one by one.
Malastare The local defense fleet was dispatched urgently to come for reinforcements, but it was of no avail. Sefrans-Tann separated some warships to block the reinforcements. After eating the eight Hunter Class ships, they destroyed the local defense fleet together with their backhand.
After that Fourth Legion Commander Justin-Levis led 3000 Fourth Legion soldiers and 7000 army soldiers in Malastare Landing on, with 500 AT-XT walkers as the main force, they fought with the Malastare local defense forces in the southern plains of the continent where the planet capital city Pixel (Pixelito) is located.
All this happened so fast that neither Republic Supreme Strategic Command nor Republic 18th Army, nor Republic 17th Army where Malastare was, had time to react.
Then Malastare urgently sent a request for help, claiming that if reinforcements were not obtained, the planet capital city Pixel might fall within a month. At this time, Supreme Strategic Command urgently dispatched troops and generals. After communicating with Jedi Order, Jedi Master Kep-Xie was selected to go into battle and lead the army to rescue Malastare.
Master Cape Xie was the Jedi Master who attacked Admiral Trench, commander of the Enterprise Alliance fleet, in the Battle of Marastal Fjord more than ten years ago and turned the tide of the war.
At the same time, Fourth Civilization Navy general Sefrans-Tann secretly met with Gran political leader on Malastare in his flagship Katana Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser.
The contents of the secret talks between the two parties are unknown, and after this, the resistance of Gran on the planet continued unabated.
Interestingly, not long after, the political leader of Dagg secretly communicated with Sefrans-Tann.
There are two main races on Malastare, about 54% of Dagg and about 44% of Gran. The indigenous people are Dagg, and Gran are latecomers who came to colonize 1,000 years ago.
However, since Gran developed earlier and was quite influential among Galactic Republic Senate, Dagg's resistance was suppressed by Galactic Republic with a soft knife. Until now, Council Representative Tim of Malastare and his team are also composed of Gran.
Therefore, Dagg is full of hatred for Galactic Republic, but Gran is also in a relatively delicate environment - because their home planet Kinyen is now Dawn Star Planet's little follower, and in the battle for Blade Fleet, Gran also contributed a lot.
