The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

Chapter 861 Doomsday and Tranquility

860 Doom and Tranquility

21BBY, on January 32, the Ragnarov-class Titan battleship that was being towed to Parmante Harbor for maintenance, the once-famous Plague, was suddenly attacked by Jedi Knights as it passed through the planet Solgan. Squad attack.

The heroic Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and his master Obi-Wan Kenobi, as well as their Jedi apprentice Ahsoka Tano, led the elite 501st clone army. Launched a raid without a Jaeger-class battlecruiser.

The Confederation of Independent Galaxy fleet escorting the Plague has 1 Providence-class destroyer, 8 Generosity-class frigates, and 2 Disobedient-class light destroyers, but such a superior force still cannot stop the attack of the Jedi Knights.

Anakin-Skywalker and others drove the fighter jets to directly disperse the fighter group of the Confederation of Independent Galaxies. In this battle, the latest triple robot fighter jet of the Confederation of Independent Galaxies made its debut. Obi-Wan Kenobi's fighter.

However, Obi-Wan Kenobi was also lucky. Before losing control, his fighter crashed directly into the hangar platform of the Plague. The hangar platform of the Plague was blown up before, but it was urgently repaired and barely usable, mainly for the takeoff and landing of those engineering spacecraft and SCVs, so there was no protection at all.

So Obi-Wan went all the way into the interior of the Plague, paralyzed the command center of the battleship again, and captured the commander of the Confederate fleet, the Quarren general Weathers-Andu.

This Quarren general who wanted to have a good time on the Titan battleship became a prisoner in such a daze. In fact, if he stayed on the Shenyi-class destroyer honestly, such a thing would never happen.

In the end, Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano also risked their lives to enter the interior of the Plague. After they took control of the control center, they locked the rudder of the battleship, and then let the Plague hit the ship with full power. Planet Solgan.

Afterwards, the three master and apprentice squeezed into a Delta-7 fighter jet, filling the narrow cockpit to the brim. Anakin freed his right foot, and Obi-Wan stretched out his left hand to jointly control the fighter jet. They escaped from the Plague before being captured by the gravity of the planet. After they came out, they were in whatever shape the cockpit was.

In the next few days, the tentacles on little Ahsoka's head were squashed into an oval shape - this is the shape of a fighter hatch cover, and it took at least a week to recover.

With a terrifying impact and explosion, the Titan battleship Plague crashed on the planet Sorgan.

The impact of this super giant ship even caused violent crustal movement on the planet, triggering a continuous earthquake of magnitude 10 or more, and forming a new mountain range more than 4,000 meters high on the edge of the plate.

Fortunately, there are no permanent residents on the planet Solgan, only a few robot outposts of the Confederation of Independent Galaxies, otherwise, this collision will definitely cause a catastrophe of life.

...

The Titan battleship Plague was attacked and destroyed, which had a great impact on the Federation of Independent Galaxies.

The Plague, which had been advertised as a heroic battleship before, was actually attacked on the territory of the Confederation of Independent Galaxies itself, and the people and congressmen were very dissatisfied with this.

Demonstrations broke out on hundreds of planets, and people took to the streets to question how the war funds contributed by their belt-tightening were spent, and why there was such a shameful failure.

Representatives from many planets also expressed their concerns directly to Earl Dooku, the supreme leader of the Federation, in the parliament. They believed that the destruction of the Plague was a very bad omen, because it showed that even after a series of previous failures, However, the Galactic Republic still retains the ability to launch attacks anywhere in the outer ring star region.

These congressmen also expressed concern about the progress of the war, and several planets even started a referendum to discuss the possibility of withdrawing from the Federation of Independent Galaxies, withdrawing from the war, and declaring neutrality.

Count Dooku had to forcefully suppress these voices of opposition. On some planets where there was a lot of trouble with neutrality, the leaders of several political factions suddenly died of sudden illness or shot themselves in the back of the head, which calmed down the farce. Quite a lot.

Dawn Star Prime Minister Francis Underwood even went to the Lassax subplanet in person, and then visited Earl Dooku's office. According to a private security guard at the door, they heard Francis' roar before the office door was completely closed.

"Dooku!! You return our Titan battleship!!!"

Earl Dooku could only repeatedly promise in the council that the next offensive against the central ring sector of the galaxy would surely achieve a series of great victories, which would heal the pain caused by the destruction of the Plague.

At the same time, he also commissioned a Trandoshan garbage salvage team to go to the planet Solgan to recover the wreckage of the Plague, and using these wreckage as materials, he built a Monument to the Plague.

In front of the monument, there are examples of the warships of the Galactic Republic that were sunk and destroyed by the Plague in its short and heroic life. Among them, the miniature models of the three 8,000-meter-long Commander-class dreadnought ships are at the forefront, and these miniature models They were all made to look like they were destroyed, demonstrating the powerful destructive power of the Plague.

Afterwards, Earl Dooku continued to announce that the construction of the second ship of the Ragnarov-class Titan battleship was started in the port of Parmante, and this battleship will carry out a series of modern improvements on the original basis to further enhance its combat effectiveness.

The name of the second ship, Earl Dooku originally wanted to name it the Doom, avoiding the name 'Plague' which seemed to make Darth Sidious very sensitive. However, a group of members headed by Francis Underwood made a big noise in the parliament and insisted on naming the second ship 'Plague Son'.

Earl Dooku was worried that the name would irritate Darth Sidious again, so he pinched his nose and found all kinds of excuses, and later even pulled his old face and quarreled with Francis Underwood in the council up.

In the end, both sides took a step back and named the second ship Tenebrous, after Darth Tenebrous. And Earl Dooku assured that after the Shadow was completed and put into service, the captain would still be General Severance Tann.

This farce has finally come to an end.

...

From the end of January to February of 21BBY, the war-torn battlefield of the Milky Way rarely calmed down.

Except for the ongoing battles on some planets in the Outer Rim Star Region, neither the Confederation of Independent Galaxies nor the Galactic Republic had their main fleet moving.

However, this will be the last calm before a bigger storm.
