905, Battle of Janfatar
The unexpected change of formation left Commander, Dark Jedi Knight Ulu-Ulix of the combined fleet of the InterGalactic Banking Clan and Fourth Group at a loss.
The scattered Republic fleet made it impossible for him to achieve decisive results in a short time through the powerful frontal firepower of Behemoth-class battlecruiser and Generous-class frigate. When he saw that Republic fleet had begun to launch a landing on Janfatar, he was even more panicked.
The leaders of the workers' strike organization on the planet have been begging hard, asking Confederacy of Independent Systems's fleet to go to reinforcements as soon as possible. Because Galactic Republic's powerful Clone Army has been advancing towards the capital Atar City, and the troops who have defected because of sympathy for the workers are not Clone Army's opponent at all.
Ulu-Ulix was originally just a Jedi apprentice with average qualifications. Among Battle of Bespin, he backstabbed his master Green Betty and gained the favor of Darth-Malthael, giving him power of the Dark Side a surge in strength.
However, in the final analysis, he is still just a Jedi apprentice with average qualifications, unable to make decisions when encountering problems.
Under the pleading of the leader of the strike organization, Ulu-Ulix thought for a while and felt that it was very important to get the support of the planet, so he also forcibly put down the landing force despite Republic fleet's harassment.
But compared with Republic fleet, which has Acclamator-class assault ship in the fleet, the fleet in the hands of Ulu-Ulix is completely configured for fleet decisive battles. Although Behemoth-class can carry a lot of Marines, it will be much more troublesome to transport it to the planet.
The increase in combat targets also dispersed Confederacy of Independent Systems fleet's strength, and Janfatar's ground battle also broke out.
Tens of thousands of Confederacy of Independent Systems robot legions entered the Janfatar capital Atar City. At this time, more than half of the city was occupied by striking workers' organizations. After the army of workers' organizations and the robot legion merged, fierce street fighting ensued.
The planet's ruling party organization was unwilling to be driven out of the capital. They mobilized reinforcements from all over the planet in order to launch a counterattack.
After Republic army landed, Jedi Knight of Altis Cult, led by Jayne Altis, led Clone Army into the city from several directions at the same time and launched a very flexible guerrilla operation.
The young Galaxy Republic commander Gillard-Perine began to emerge. Under his central command, Clone Army exerted a more powerful combat effectiveness. They harassed the army of workers' organizations and the Confederacy of Independent Systems robot army. Although they were at a disadvantage in numbers, they continued to delay the battle.
The street fighting lasted for about 5 days. As armies from various places continued to rush to the planet's capital, Confederacy of Independent Systems's robot army and the army organized by workers began to retreat.
However, at this time, the head of the planet's ruling party government, who had seen the dawn of victory, was a little carried away. He publicly executed the captured workers' organization leaders and ordered his troops to speed up the process. Within 3 days, Separatists and the revolting workers would be completely suppressed and driven out of the capital. It would be best to kill them all!
Gillard-Perine strongly opposed this resolution, but the head of the ruling party government, who had been dazzled by the victory, simply looked down on the young Commander, who had just turned 30, and issued an order for a full-line attack with a wave of his hand.
The ruling party of the planet has been exploiting the working class of the planet with the support of Galactic Republic. All they want is their own economic interests, and they don't care about others at all.
During the crazy attack by the government forces, Atar City was severely damaged and caused a large number of civilian casualties during the battle. Not to mention, government forces began to launch a global purge. All workers who participated in the strike were arrested and directly executed without Judgment!
However, this approach aroused the resistance of the civilians on the planet. Ulu-Ulix was not a mediocre person, and immediately seized the opportunity to distribute a large number of weapons to those civilians. Confederacy of Independent Systems didn't have enough control in this direction and didn't have that many weapons delivered, so he contacted the famous arms dealer, Santa Claus Yuri-Orlov.
Regarding this matter of supporting planet Rebel Alliance to resist the ruling party, Yuri-Orlov had already done a lot since Cerea back then, and it can be said that they are familiar with it.
While Republic fleet was overwhelmed by Behemoth-class battlecruiser of Confederacy of Independent Systems, one after another small transport ships loaded with various weapons entered Janfatar and flew to cities where strikes and uprisings broke out to deliver weapons.
Yuri-Orlov was very sure of what these Rebel Alliance needed. He sent a large number of high-quality and low-priced weapons, including anti-tank rocket launchers, mortars, short-range rockets, individual anti-aircraft missiles, and sniper rifles.
After entering the city, although the regular army of Gianfatar's ruling party had tanks and artillery, they were constantly attacked in the complex urban environment and were exhausted.
The anti-government armed uprising on Janfatar finally intensified and reached the point of being uncontrollable.
Galactic Republic's Clone Trooper was told never to shoot at civilians, but as more and more civilians took to the battlefield, they had to stop their actions.
Workers' uprisings broke out in almost every city on the planet. The ruling party's army could only trap the capital Atar City and did not dare to leave. Galactic Republic's Clone Army and Confederacy of Independent Systems's robot legions became supporting roles.
The first battle was unfavorable, and the somewhat frustrated Captain Gillard-Perine had to submit a withdrawal application to Officer Fleet Commander. However, his original combat goal has been achieved. This ground battle has lasted for a month, and almost all of his energy was involved in the ground battle. The fleets of Ulu-Ulix have never been able to defeat Republic fleet.
In the end, Gillard-Perine returned to the space battlefield. This failure did not affect Fleet Commander's evaluation of him and allowed him to join his staff team.
In this month, Republic fleet also received a lot of supplements, and the number of Hunter Class Battlecruiser increased to 20. The large number of fighter jets carried among them posed a huge threat to the combined fleet of the InterGalactic Banking Clan and Fourth Group.
At this time, news came of the sudden attack by Geth. Their target was not only Galactic Republic, but also the control area of Confederacy of Independent Systems. So the space battle of Janfatar ended like this, and both sides began to retreat.
