The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

2360. Roundabout raid

"Geth! The Geth fleet appears at the rear!!!" The radar soldier shouted almost at the top of his lungs.

In fact, without him calling, Gilad Pellaeon had already seen this terrifying scene from the holographic combat star map - more than 2,000 geth warships, accompanied by a burst of space distortion, suddenly appeared behind the battlefield.

That's right, right behind the Imperial fleet!

At this moment, the battlefield situation took a turn for the worse, from being evenly matched by both sides to the imperial fleet being attacked from both sides!

You know, with the firepower layout of the Empire-class Star Destroyers, including the Victory II-class Star Destroyers, the weakest point of these battleships is the rear!

Compared with the Apocalypse-class battleships, Hell's Angels-class, Aiken-class, and Doomsday Arena-class battlecruisers in the Kingdom of Dawn, which can fire sideways, the overall structure is cylindrical, and the turret can be turned to hit the Cole-class, Dunov-class battlecruisers, these battleships are naturally not too worried about flanking attacks from both front and rear.

But the Galactic Empire, or the warship designs at the Quat Power Dockyard, are basically in the shape of a triangular pyramid. Their huge butts are not only fragile engines, but also block the firing angle of the front turrets. It is equivalent to their most vulnerable place, and it is also the blind spot for firepower.

If it were an opponent it had faced before, it would have been invincible with the powerful frontal firepower of the Star Destroyer. But now, as the Kingdom of Dawn's technology continues to advance and various means of movement begin to appear, it is not impossible to directly attack the rear of the fleet.

Just like now...

The sensor operator turned back and reported: "General! The geth fleet is traveling at warp speed!"

"It is impossible for warp sailing to appear directly behind our formation with such accuracy!!" Gilad Perrine slammed the table and said sternly.

As a method of super-light navigation, warp speed navigation is very difficult to accurately locate. Generally speaking, it can only be roughly positioned, so as not to rush into the star. This point is actually similar to hyperspace jump. Tactical hyperspace jump has been a problem that the Galactic Empire has not been able to solve until now.

But now, Geth's battleship has done this right under their noses! !

Originally, the geth fleet had been crippled. There were more than 10,000 warships at the beginning, and nearly 6,000 were sunk in the first battle on the hyperspace channel leading to the planet Anxin. The remaining 4,000 ships were damaged a lot in the battle on Anxin Planet, and now they only have more than 2,000 warships left.

The size of the geth's battleships is too different from that of the Imperial-class Star Destroyers, and their threat to the Imperial-class Star Destroyers is already very limited. So even if he didn't participate in the war this time, Gilad Perrine was not surprised. Because if it were a human crew, their morale would have collapsed long ago after experiencing these two tragic losses of more than half of the crew. That is to say, the geth, as mechanical life forms, can launch attacks again and again without fear of death, but even so, their battleships are dilapidated and need to be repaired.

Unless there are too many geth warships to pose a threat, or...

Attack from both front and back! !

"Retreat! Don't be reluctant to fight! Preserve the strength of the fleet as much as possible!" Gilad Pellaeon immediately issued an order, "The fleet immediately turned around and destroyed the geth fleet first!"

…

At this moment, among the Geth dreadnoughts in the Geth fleet, which was enlarged to more than 900 meters in length, a Geth individual came over, holding a glass of juice in its hand, and came to an elderly woman wearing a very loose black robe. In front of him, he said in a very polite electronic voice: "The voyage has ended and we have arrived at the tactical position. Master Luminara-Anduli."

Luminara Anduli, who was meditating, opened her eyes and looked at the geth individual in front of her. She felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

Because she understood that what stood in front of her was the person who had caused countless massacres in the northern reaches of the galaxy, causing the extinction of the Yamriyi people, and the loss of their homeland to the Kel-dor people (Plo-Kon's race). In addition, there are at least dozens of disappearing super killing machines from different races!

However, standing in front of the Geth, one could not feel any violence from them at all. Everything they did was just proceeding step by step. What should be done and what should not be done were all determined very precisely. Maybe when they massacred the city in a planned way and turned millions of people into corpse puppets, they also did it in such a planned way.

Even for this precise warp speed voyage, Geth very thoughtfully prepared a 900-meter-long dreadnought for her, installed a life support system for her alone, and stocked food, drinks, and even There is also a circle of fragrant green plants next to her meditation platform!

Luminara Anduli closed her eyes and took a deep breath again. She knew that now she must suppress these discomforts and temporarily cooperate with Geth and the Kingdom of Dawn. Only then can we gain an opportunity for the new Jedi Order to develop and grow.

Moreover, Luminara-Anduli still strongly agrees with the fight against the Galactic Empire. She has seen all kinds of exploitation and oppression by the Galactic Empire in the Central and Outer Rim Star Sectors. In comparison, the policies of the Kingdom of Dawn are much better.

As long as it doesn't have anything to do with the geth, that's fine.

She stood up, took the juice from the geth individual and drank it in one gulp, allowing her body and mind to recover from the fatigue caused by the continuous warp sailing, and then she said coldly: "Take my Fighters are ready, then, act according to the battle plan to destroy the Galactic Empire's fleet!"

"We have finished preparing your Eta-2 fighter, Master Luminara-Anduli." The geth individual said, leading her to the elevator.

…

At the same time, the news that the Geth fleet was directly returning to the rear of the Imperial fleet through warp sailing as planned was also conveyed to Mal-Took, the commander-in-chief of the Commercial Combined Fleet.

"The time has come, and now the Imperial Fleet has completely become my possession!" Mal-Tuk raised his hand and grasped it slowly, as if what he was holding was the Imperial Fleet. His expression was also a little ferocious at this moment, " Then, harvest it! This is my glorious victory!”

He turned back suddenly and said to the T-series tactical robot: "Call those two Jedi Knights over."

"Roger!"

"No need, we are always paying attention to the battle situation." A handsome but extremely cold voice came from behind Mal-Tuk.

Mal-Tuk turned back with a sullen face, his disgust for the Jedi Knights clearly visible on his face. He looked at the two young men in their 20s behind him and said coldly: "Since you have seen it too, Then move on! If you want to cooperate with us, you must show your sincerity!"
