The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 2315 Decapitation Operation (Part )

2316: Decapitation Operation (Part )
There were only 400 Imperial battleships that managed to escape from the battlefield on Naboo, most of which were Imperial-class Star Destroyers and Imperial-class II-class Star Destroyers. There were only 300 cruisers that managed to escape. These small and medium-sized warships were even more vulnerable when facing the Archon-class aircraft carriers. If most of the unmanned interceptors had not attacked the Lusankaya Executor-class Super Star Destroyer, these cruisers might not have been able to return.

These are all the military forces on the planet Kira now, and coupled with the armed space station that has been destroyed once by the 60 disaster-class battlecruisers, the defense line of the planet Kira is now riddled with holes.

Michel Unser has made up his mind to live and die with the planet Kira.

He knew better than anyone that if he didn't die here, he would still die in this humiliating defeat, and his death would be extremely humiliating. He might be convicted of dereliction of duty, or treason. In short, all the blame for this failure would be placed on him.

The imperial military has always been a bureaucratic organization that only cares about results. If it fails, someone must be held responsible.

Michel Unser wrote a long combat report, summarizing all the situations he encountered in this battle, including the super mobility of the Stargate, the Revelation-class battleships, the Archon-class aircraft carriers, the improved particle lances, and the heavy cruiser that has been confirmed to be the Minotaur-class, with combat power comparable to that of the Victory II-class Star Destroyer.

He believed that the warships of the Galactic Empire were now at a generation gap with those of the Principality of Dawn, and that this gap was not narrowing but widening. This war must be fought at all costs and must end very quickly, otherwise in the long run, the Empire would most likely be unable to prevent the rise of the Principality of Dawn.

Afterwards, he took a shuttle to the largest spaceport and flew around the Lusankaya, which was under repair.

Now the fire on the Lusankaya Super Star Destroyer has been extinguished, and hundreds of engineering ships are surrounding the warship, repairing it intensively, mainly repairing the armor belts that have been penetrated and melted. As for the damage to the internal facilities, it is too late to repair them.

At other berths in the spaceport, hundreds of Imperial-class Star Destroyers and hundreds of light cruisers were leaving their home ports and entering combat arrays.

They only had half a day or more to rest, and many warships only had time to carry out the most basic repairs, barely allowing the warships to move.

"General, the Separatist fleet is approaching, 100 light minutes away from us!" the adjutant reported to Admiral Michel Anser.

Michel Anser hesitated again at this time, because there were still two options before him - fight or escape.

The battle would undoubtedly result in a disastrous defeat. The broken fleet and the broken defense facilities could not stop the powerful and complete fleet of the Principality of Dawn.

So, what about escaping? From a strategic point of view, escaping is undoubtedly the best option, at least it can allow the Galactic Empire to preserve more warships, but for the Galactic Empire, this is absolutely impossible! Preserve the manpower? Such a situation is absolutely not allowed! The Imperial Navy has only two options - victory, or death!
So, we should still fight? No... Even the Galactic Empire cannot afford the loss of an Executor-class Super Star Destroyer!
So... just let the Lusankaya escape? Impossible, because once the Lusankaya turned around and fled, the morale of the defenders of Kira would collapse, and they might just surrender. Then the Galactic Empire would not only lose Kira, a fortress planet that it had operated for a long time, but would also completely take over all the factories and supplies on the planet.

Absolutely not!

There were bursts of dazzling light coming from outside the porthole...

"General! The Separatist fleet has begun bombing with particle lances!" the adjutant said anxiously.

"Get on board immediately! Prepare to fight back!" Michel Anser's eyes became firm, and he had made up his mind. ...

At 8 p.m. on August 7, Severance Tann led the Second Task Force of the Principality of Dawn to begin bombing the planet Kira.

60 Disaster-class battlecruisers and 50 Paladin-class battlecruisers bombarded the armed space station and spaceport of the planet Kira with their ultra-long-range particle light spears.

The Imperial Fleet held its ground and fought back only with the orbital defense cannons on the armed space stations and the planet's surface. Although this mass projection weapon had a sufficient range, it was impossible to hit the Dawn Principality Fleet, which always carefully maintained a distance of 20 light minutes.

The Imperial Fleet held out until 23pm. In two hours, three armed space stations were completely destroyed. The morale of the fleet officers and soldiers fell to the bottom, and some combatants on armed space stations and spaceports even mutinied. They thought that they could not fight back and the Imperial Fleet was shrinking and treating them as cannon fodder. They would rather surrender than be blown to death in this way.

The mutiny was quickly suppressed, and the Imperial Stormtroopers were extremely efficient in quickly arresting all the mutinous staff and immediately carried out public executions. However, the shadow still loomed over the hearts of all officers and soldiers at all levels of the Empire, and despair was spreading.

Admiral Michel Anser finally made up his mind to attack. He sent his death letter to the center of the empire, and then led his fleet to rush at full speed towards the fleet of the Principality of Dawn.

……

On the bridge of the Anchoron-class Titan battleship Taowu, the flagship of the Second Task Force, Severance Tann looked coldly at the Imperial fleet that was rushing forward with a desperate belief on the holographic star map, with a mocking smile on her lips.

“Hehehe… Even if you want to take the initiative to attack, you still put the Executor-class at the back of the formation?” Severance Tann laughed, “Even at this juncture, you are still planning to preserve the Executor-class as much as possible, and at least drive this super battleship back to Palpatine? Hehehe… How stupid! Order all ships to advance at full speed and meet them!”

"Yes!!"

The Second Task Force of the Principality of Dawn immediately began to adjust its formation. Two Anchoron-class Titan battleships rushed to the front, followed by 12 Revelation-class battleships, and 10 Archon-class aircraft carriers in the center of the formation, with the Disaster-class and Paladin-class providing fire support at the end of the formation.

All-out military attack!

For the Galactic Empire's fleet, a rather tragic battle began.

But under the command of Severance Tann, this battle is destined to be a one-sided massacre!

Only two Anchoron-class Titan battleships were seen running at full engine speed without any pause, rushing straight towards the Lusankaya with the firepower of the Imperial fleet!
This Executor-class Super Star Destroyer is their target!
Of course, the Imperial Fleet would not let them succeed, and almost all of their fire was directed at the two Titan battleships! Meanwhile, the Swarm II unmanned interceptors that took off from the Archon-class aircraft carrier swept in like a dark cloud, providing support for the two Titan battleships.

This unstoppable momentum is to take the general's head among thousands of troops!
