904.Corellia's new star
Time has entered 21BBY, March.
The war ignited throughout the galaxy is intensifying again...
On March 15, InterGalactic Banking Clan and Fourth Group suddenly launched an attack on Northern Galaxy. They gathered a powerful force of 30 Behemoth-class battlecruiser and more than 50 Munificent-class communications frigate to suddenly launch a surprise attack.
Galaxy Republic 8th Army The fleet surrounding Makito almost collapsed in the face of such a powerful force. Jedi Master Sass-Ting personally led a fighter squadron to raid Separatist fleet's flagship when the battle situation collapsed.
Dark Jedi Knight Ulu-Ulix, who was in command, was almost killed by Sass-Ting. When he fled in a panic, Republic fleet finally seized this only opportunity and took advantage of Separatist fleet's chaos to evacuate the battlefield.
Immediately afterwards, Ulu-Ulix, who had regained their composure, led the fleet straight in and began to attack the important node in the hyperspace channel leading to the 8th Army's headquarters, Oder-Mantle's planet - Janfatar (Janfathal).
When the planet was surrounded, the long-suffering workers on the planet launched a strike and refused to produce any products for the planet government to resist the invasion of Confederacy of Independent Systems.
After analyzing the battle situation, Galactic Republic Supreme Strategic Command believes that Northern Territory's offensive cannot be ignored, because this is likely to lead to the loss of control of the relatively stable Northern Galaxy again after both Western Reaches and Southern Territory suffered blows on the battlefield.
But now the fleets in all aspects are stretched thin, and the manpower and Commander are also very short. After discussing with Jedi Order, Jedi Order said that now that Master Windu is seriously injured, Jedi Order really cannot provide more manpower to help Northern Territory on the battlefield.
Therefore, Republic Supreme Strategic Command found a splinter Jedi Knight sect-Altis Cult.
This sect refused to accept the leadership of Jedi Order, but continued to serve Galactic Republic. It was regarded as a semi-independent small group. The leader was a male human named Jedi Knight named Dijnn Altis.
Jayin Altis readily agreed to Galactic Republic's call. He led a team of Jedi Knight from Altis Cult to Coruscant and participated in the discussion of the battle situation.
After that, Galactic Republic, the Speaker Sheev-Palpatine personally issued administrative orders, and Corellian system dispatched a fleet to reinforce Janfatar.
The InterGalactic Banking Clan and Fourth Group combined fleets deployed half of their forces in Janfatar, and the other fleets went to surrounding systems to expand their results. At this time, the fleet led by Jain Altis launched a surprise attack on them.
Many of these Republic Fleet are small spacecraft produced by Corellia Engineering Company, plus some Hunter Class Battlecruiser under Master Sass-Ting. Although they are large in number, the battle situation is still not optimistic.
Behemoth-class battlecruiser showed great power in this battle. The half-axis-based shaped plasma cannon equipped on the bow of the ship-Yamato Cannon was extremely powerful, causing great damage to the large warship headed by Hunter Class. Facing those small warships, the air-to-air scattering laser cannon arrays on both sides of the Behemoth-class also played an excellent role.
The emergence of this kind of warship forced Galactic Republic fleet to use a large number of fighter groups to attack Behemoth-class battlecruiser, and in this way, the suppression of Munificent-class communications frigate was relaxed.
Although Munificent-class communications frigate is already a very backward warship, the double-mounted heavy-duty Turbolaser cannon installed at the bow of the ship is also extremely powerful. Now without the restraints of the Galactic Republic fighter group, Munificent-class communications frigate was able to give full play to its firepower, causing even greater damage than in the previous battle.
Seeing another failure, at this time, the Republic fleet flagship suddenly received a communication.
This communication came from a Acclamator-class assault ship called 'Leveler' (Leveler). The young captain of this battleship provided some combat suggestions. He carefully analyzed the battlefield situation and suggested that Fleet Commander adjust the formation, divide the fleet into ten squads to harass and delay in batches, and then allow the army to land on Janfatar as soon as possible.
He told the Fleet Commander officer, "Separatists, a new type of Behemoth-class battlecruiser, uses energy so explosively that it will definitely require a longer charging cycle. The cooling time of this cycle is the moment when we launch a counterattack. And, because of the gap in fleet strength, I suggest launching a landing operation as soon as possible to quell the strike on the planet and regain the support of the planet."
Officer Fleet Commander carefully evaluated his suggestion and nodded in agreement, "Your battle plan makes sense and I will adopt it. Since you are the captain of Acclamator-class assault ship, you may be more familiar with the landing battle, and then the ground battlefield will be left to your command."
"Yes!" The captain gave a military salute.
Fleet Commander looked at the young general who seemed to have just turned 30, then looked at his military rank, nodded and asked, "What's your name, Captain?"
"My name is Gillard-Perine (Gilad Pellaeon) [Note 1]. It is an honor to serve in your fleet, sir." The captain replied.
Fleet Commander waved his hand to close the communication, and then he adopted Captain Gillard-Perine's suggestion.
I only saw that Republic fleet immediately divided into ten formations, giving full play to the flexibility of those Corellia Engineering Company small spacecrafts, conducting large-scale maneuvers around them to avoid frontal combat with the powerful Separatist fleet.
At the same time, with Leveler Acclamator-class assault ship as the core, they sent all landing ships to conduct landing operations against Janfatar.
The Jedi Knights who participated in the battle were also divided into two groups. In other words, they were originally two waves and could not urinate together from the beginning.
Sass-Ting is more adept at piloting fighter jets for interstellar combat, so he stays on the space battlefield to continue fighting.
Jein Altis will lead Jedi Knight of Altis Cult to participate in ground operations. They will reinforce Atar City, the capital of Janfatar, stabilize the ruling government of the planet, quell workers' strike rebellion, and then activate the planet's defense system as soon as possible and take off fighter jets to reinforce the space battlefield.
No matter how bad it is, they can still provide supplies to their fleet and drag the battle into a protracted war.
As Gillard-Perine expected, once it is dragged into a protracted war, Behemoth-class battlecruiser's weaknesses will be revealed.
Two days after the battle, Anakin-Skywalker and Ahsoka-Tano led two Hunter Class Battlecruisers to arrive at Janfatar for reinforcements.

[Note 1: Gillard-Perine was born in 51BBY, which is exactly 30 years old this year. The battle of Janfatar was the first battle of this generation of legendary generals. It's a pity that I can't find any pictures of him when he was young.]
