The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 2142 Vulture Planet Invasion

  2143: Vulture Planet Invasion

At the same time, the Galactic Empire also sent a landing force to the planet Vulture.

Vulpter is located in the Deep Core of the Milky Way, which is the area closest to the center of the Milky Way. In the center of the Milky Way, there is a supermassive black hole and a super star cluster composed of hundreds of millions of stars. Obviously, these places cannot have habitable planets. Not to mention habitable planets, even planets cannot exist here.

The deep core is the outermost layer of the core of the Milky Way, which is also the limit distance that can produce habitable planets. There are only about a dozen planets that have been discovered and inhabited by intelligent life within the deep core. After going beyond a certain distance, the number of habitable planets increases sharply, and this is the dividing line between the deep core and the core circle.

Vulture Planet is one of the planets located in the Deep Core. This planet is also an old industrial star system in the Milky Way, with a very developed industry. However, although the industry of this planet is very developed, their technological level is not high, so later it became a OEM production base for those truly developed and advanced organizations.

Due to over-industrialization, the planet's environment has been completely destroyed, and agricultural production has been reduced to zero, so it can only rely on agricultural products from other planets to survive. In addition, the industrial products of the Vulture Planet itself are not very advanced and cannot bring much profit, so the planet quickly went bankrupt and became a vassal of the super companies in the core circle.

And now it is the Trade Federation that controls the Vulture Planet.

The population of Vulture Planet is about 4.2 million, and there are more than 200 billion robots of various types and countless highly automated factories. Due to excessive exhaust emissions, the entire planet is wrapped in a layer of purple atmosphere, and the air is filled with countless harmful gases. People here can only live in fully enclosed settlements, and they must wear respirators to go outdoors.

Ironically, Vulture actually has three rings! Because too much garbage was carelessly thrown outside the planet, it was attracted back by the planet's own gravity, forming two black rings made entirely of garbage on the periphery, which are called garbage rings.

The third star ring is a thin micro star ring about 1 km wide. The function of this star ring is to continuously play advertisements, both inside and outside the planet.

The residents of all planets are bombarded with countless advertisements every day. They cannot help but watch the advertisements that fall from the sky. And all ships that come to the planets will also continuously see advertisements for various products and services of the Trade Alliance from the star rings.

If we talk about the entire Vulture Planet, most of the ground has become a garbage dump, and the remaining are large industrial areas and some scattered settlements to maintain these industrial areas.

However, after Vulture Planet was incorporated into the entire economic system of the Trade Alliance, the planet's industrial output value was not low, and it was also a very important OEM factory for the Trade Alliance.

And this planet is also the second target of the Galactic Empire!

Because Vulture Planet has the ability to manufacture warships! Although its technical capabilities are not strong, it can produce many low-tech spaceships. For the Galactic Empire, taking over Vulture Planet is also an important step in gradually cutting off the wings of the Trade Alliance and eventually attacking those core planets.

Vulture had no planetary shield, almost no orbital defense system, and it was impossible to install any weapons on the advertising star ring. Therefore, the Galactic Empire only sent more than 40 battleships and more than 200 small and medium-sized warships to occupy the periphery of the planet and began to send a large number of ground troops to land.

Relatively speaking, it was the two unpredictable garbage rings that caused the greatest trouble to the Galactic Empire's landing operation.

The outer periphery of the planet is almost undefended. Like other planets, all the warships on Vulture are sent into the inner atmosphere to resist.

In order to occupy this planet, the Galactic Empire activated a large number of combat robots. The Galactic Empire also used a large number of robot troops, including KX series security robots, E-XD series reconnaissance robots, etc. In this attack on the Vulture Planet, the Galactic Empire invested a huge number of KX series robots as combat robots.

Ironically, the KX series of robots is one of the export products of the Vulture planet. (This type of robot has appeared in the "Andor" series, and K-2SO in "Rogue One" is also of this model)

The planet Vulture also put up a resolute resistance. Although the numb residents on the planet Vulture, who were like zombies, did not care whether the Trade Federation or the Galactic Empire ruled them, the real combat power of this planet came from the endless supply of robot troops.

The planet's ruler, Tudos, a senior executive of the Trade Union, ordered all robots to be armed and sent to the battlefield, and all factories started working at full capacity to mass-produce KX series robots.

At the same time, due to the harsh environment on the planet Vulture, it is difficult for fighter formations to play a role, and ordinary soldiers simply cannot survive on the battlefield, so the battle here becomes a battle between robots.

This also makes the battle on the planet Vulture less tragic and more cold compared to the fierce battle on the planet Rosa that was going on at the same time.

Countless transport planes of the Galactic Empire landed robot troops and launched a mass charge under the command of the clone soldiers of the Imperial Stormtroopers. Opposite them was a large army of miscellaneous robots gathered on the Vulture Planet - there were engineering robots, garbage robots, cleaning robots, and all kinds of robots.

But the Galactic Empire's robot army also progressed very slowly, because there were too many robots on the Vulture Planet! Even if the Galactic Empire wanted to invest more robots, it would take time. The KX series security robots, due to their excellent performance and logical judgment ability, made this type of robot huge in production, but they were spread across many planets in the empire and it was difficult to gather them in a short period of time.

Later, the Galactic Empire simply used a large number of B-1 battle robots and B-2 super battle robots captured during the previous split of the Interstellar Banking Association and the destruction of the Confederation of Independent Systems to fight.

Countless robots were sent to Vulture Planet, and then destroyed in the constant crossfire and became part of the garbage scattered all over the planet, and then the cycle repeats itself. Mechanical and indifferent, this is the war on Vulture Planet...

……

On August 8, a very serious incident occurred, causing the war on the planet Rosa to completely get out of control.

In the previous few days, the Galactic Empire had occupied seven towns and captured more than 7 million civilians. According to Order 100, these civilians were used as hostages to demand the surrender of Rosa Planet President Torreso-Bore.

Because there was no response, these 100 million people were all executed, and the execution was broadcast live to the entire planet!

Darth Vader originally hoped that this would destroy the resistance of the planet Rosa, but he was wrong. On this day, the Prime Minister of the planet Rosa, Torreso Borre, and four other top leaders appeared in the global public broadcast.

After Borre declared that he would resist the Empire until the end, he handed over the resistance movement of the entire planet to an organization called the 'Rosa Resistance Committee', and then...

They committed mass suicide right in front of the live camera!
