The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 2363 The End of the Battle
2364: The End of the Battle

Gilad Perrine, after his promotion to admiral, once again perfectly replicated the battlefield command that opened his path to stardom.

At that time, he was just a major. After the disastrous defeat in the battle of Dolin Planet, he was ordered to take over the temporary command of the fleet from the deceased Admiral Eureka. He commanded the Republic fleet to successfully shake off the pursuit and blockade of the Geth fleet and lead the remnants of the fleet out.

And today, more than ten years later, he once again commanded the Imperial fleet and successfully shook off the pursuit and interception of the combined fleet of the Kingdom of Dawn and the Geth, and led the remnants of the fleet away (even the chapter name is still called "Escape", Chapter 1442).

What's even more ironic is that during his escape, he also passed through the planet Dolin.

However, he also managed to save more than 200 battleships and more than 800 small and medium-sized warships from this disastrous defeat, which was considered to have preserved some spark of war.

The defeated Imperial fleet fled all the way to the planet Bilbringi before stopping and reorganizing its forces.

The Bilbrin galaxy is a galaxy full of asteroids, in which almost all the stars are asteroids. The Bilbrin planet generally refers to the Bilbrin VII asteroid, which is also the largest asteroid in the galaxy.

Because most of the asteroids around the Bilbrin Galaxy are rich in various alloys and rare metals, astronomers speculate that hundreds of thousands or even millions of years ago, a huge comet rushed into the galaxy and collided with one of the planets, causing both to be destroyed.

However, the advantage of this is that many materials that can only be mined from the core of a planet can be easily found here.

For this reason, since the Galactic Republic era, a large-scale shipyard has been built near the planet of Bilbrin. This shipyard is outsourced to the Corellian Engineering Company, and it also upholds their spirit of doing whatever work they can get. The Bilbrin Shipyard is not picky, from star destroyers to frigates, as long as it is a warship, they build everything.

In addition, Billbrin is just an industrial shipyard and does not have research and development capabilities.

At the same time, this planet also has great strategic significance. Because this galaxy is almost blocked by asteroids, it can only be entered and exited through a few routes that only the military can control, which makes the planet easy to defend but difficult to attack. The complex environment, coupled with the planet's own extremely powerful industrial manufacturing capabilities, makes all invading enemies only sigh in despair.

It can be said that the planet Bilbrin is the planet Yago-Dur on the Galactic Empire side.

By the way, in the original plot, Grand Admiral Thrawn regarded this place as the foundation for his revival of the Galactic Empire. However, when the New Republic attacked the planet of Bilbrin, Grand Admiral Thrawn, who was originally confident of victory, was assassinated by his own Nogri bodyguards and died on the spot, which also shattered his dream of reviving the Galactic Empire.

Another important reason why the planet Bilbrin is so important is that it already belongs to the inner ring star region of the Milky Way and is also the starting point of the Namadi Corridor leading to the Mararian Alliance. Once Bilbrin is captured, the core circle will be visible behind it! After passing Bilbrin, it is the last gateway to the core circle of the Milky Way - the transportation hub Palanhi. In other words, by then, the core circle of the Milky Way will be under direct threat! Moreover, as a planet dominated by the financial industry, you can't expect a strong defense here.

Therefore, when the North was invaded by the Geth and the Mararian Alliance betrayed, the planet of Bilbrin, which had become the front line of the battle, naturally became the top priority for Gilad Pellaeon to deploy the defense line. Whether in politics, economy or military, Bilbrin could not afford to lose.

Gilad Perrine built countless defensive cannons in the asteroid belt of the Bilbrin system. These cannons were built on metal asteroids. They were not only strong, but also had strong bearing capacity and more importantly, were concealed. Several important asteroids even had micro planetary shields installed!

After Imperial Navy Admiral Gilad Pellaeon led his troops back to the planet of Bilbrin, he made a brief arrangement for the next defense, and was then forcibly taken away by the High Inquisitor of the Tribunal, Jerrick, and sent to the Imperial Center for interrogation. The moment he was taken away, he was relieved of all military duties.

Also taken away by the Inquisition were more than 70 of the planet's highest-ranking officials, including the planetary governor of Gler-Anselm, Dalsana.

The battle that took place on the planets Dolin, Gler-Anselm, Anxin, and then all the way to Gler-Anselm was called the Mararian Alliance Battle.

In this battle, the Galactic Empire lost more than 270 Imperial-class Star Destroyers, more than 210 Victory II-class and other Star Destroyers, one Commander II-class dreadnought, and more than 1 small and medium-sized warships. More than 1300 million officers and soldiers at all levels of the navy were killed!
Some people say that a navy is built up over a hundred years but destroyed in two days. This statement has been applicable since ancient times.

In this battle, the Kingdom of Dawn lost more than 30 battleships, more than 30 heavy cruisers, and more than 1500 small and medium-sized battleships, including more than 900 Undertaker-class light cruisers and more than 400 Osprey-class light cruisers. The former were lost because they rushed into the center of the Imperial Fleet and attracted a lot of firepower, while many of the latter were sunk while accompanying the Undertaker-class assault and providing them with emergency repairs.

Compared to this great victory, such battle losses are actually a bit ugly, but considering the unscientific warship ratio of the Commercial Combined Fleet and the defective Undertaker and Osprey classes, it is relieved to see such losses.

……

At this moment, in the spaceport of the planet Gler-Anselm, Admiral Mal-Tuk, commander-in-chief of the Commercial Fleet, was furious.

"You bastards!! Good-for-nothings!! How could you let the Imperial Fleet slip away from right under our noses!!" Mal-Tuk cursed at his squadron commanders.

"We have been attacking from both sides, and we are sure of victory! As long as we can wipe out the Imperial fleet here, we will have the opportunity to advance straight into the core circle and directly threaten the core circle!! And I will become the second general of the Kingdom of Dawn to set foot in the core circle!! But you idiots, you actually let so many warships go!! Shame on you!!!" Mal-Tuk pointed at the noses of the fleet commanders and cursed.

"Huh, so boring." The Jedi Knight Jax Pavan, who came to attend the meeting, sneered and stood up and left. Ferrus Olin followed closely behind him, and only the mature and steady Luminara Anduri still stayed here.
