523. The bloody battle with Bespin (1)
At the same time, on the morning of May 24, a chaotic and huge fleet broke away from the hyperspace channel and came to the planet Denon.
This fleet includes 18 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers, 5 Cheer-class assault landing ships, more than 80 Karak-class light cruisers, and more than 200 ships including CR-70 and Corellian DP-20 gunboats. Frigate class battleship.
There are even 4 ancient Invincible-class heavy cruisers that can be seen in the formation. This heavy cruiser is 2011 meters long and was designed more than 3000 years ago. Although it has long lagged behind the times, it is a large warship that can enter the atmosphere. , it can still use some residual heat to some extent.
This is a formation that the Galactic Republic pieced together, assembled 5 local defense fleets, and mobilized warships from the Republic Judiciary Fleet, which has been reorganized into the Grand Republic Navy. Their goal is to directly kill the planet Geonosis and rescue Master Yoda and the 200,000 clone army.
Among the Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers serving as the flagship, Jedi Master Depa Bilaba stood in the middle wearing a brown robe, and behind her stood two young girls with blond hair.
The two girls look only 15 or 6 years old. The childishness on their faces has not faded, but they are already very beautiful and lovely girls. They both have shoulder-length short hair, with a bow tied around their golden hair. ——This is not allowed in the Jedi Order, but because of Depa-Bilaba's doting on them, Billaba's master, Master Windu, the second-in-command of the Jedi Order, did not say anything.
Although the two girls look similar, the color of their clothes and their expressions are completely different, making it easy to tell them apart.
The taller one was wearing a blue robe and the bow on her head was also blue. She looked very quiet, she just stood there with her head down and said nothing.
The shorter one was wearing a red robe with a red bow on his head, but the expression on his face was full of confidence and even arrogance.
Yes, they are the apprentices of Depa Billaba, and they are also the first batch of Force-sensitive people who went out from the Dawn Planet to train in the Jedi Order, sisters Luna Dream and Luna Phantom.
Before 27bby, Planet Dawn sent a total of three batches of five force-sensitive people to the Jedi Order for training, but the ones with the highest talent and the strangest were still sisters Luna Dream and Luna Phantom. They only have the talent of the Force when they stand together, and their talent is extremely high, almost as good as the Chosen Son Anakin Skywalker, but if they are separated by a certain distance, they are no different from ordinary people.
After 27bby, with the increasing expansion of the separatist movement, the Dawn Planet basically cut off contact with the Jedi Order, and naturally no more Force-sensitive people were sent to the Jedi Order.
"General, we can no longer move forward along the Hydia hyperspace channel. 15 parsecs away from here is the Arantian star system. In that star area are traitors who have joined the separatists. They are near their respective planets. A hyperspace blocker has been set up. Now we can only transfer to the Corellian trade route, go to the planet Malastar, and then pass through the planet Naboo before we can reach Geonosis." The commander of this fleet was impressive. It was Admiral Wolf Yularen. He turned around and said to Depa Billaba with great respect.
Not long ago, Chancellor Palpatine had just issued a directive confirming that if a Jedi Knight is in the military, the rank of a Jedi Master is equivalent to that of a general. If a general of the military is also present, then the status of the Jedi Master is higher. To the general.
Therefore, the fleet commander, Admiral Wulf-Yularen, also has to obey the command of Depa-Bilaba here.
"What are the separatist trends now? Is there any information coming from the direction of Geonosis?" Depa-Bilaba asked.
"At present, the separatists have launched attacks in 17 galaxies at the same time. The neutral galaxy Bespin has even been attacked by a large fleet of Dawn Planet. Overall, the situation is not optimistic. After comparison by intelligence personnel, after leaving the fleet station, The separatist fleet that did not appear on any frontline battlefield should have been originally deployed in the direction of the planet Christophsis." Woolf-Yularen answered.
"I can feel that Masters Yoda and Windu are safe at the moment, but the development of the war situation is changing rapidly, and we cannot afford more delays." Depa-Bilaba said.
"Then we..." Yularen frowned.
"Continue to perform a hyperspace jump through the Hydia Channel. If it is a blocker, I have the ability to temporarily help the fleet break through. This is actually thanks to the hyperspace theory of Master Jolus Serbaos. It is a pity that he He has died in overseas exploration operations," Depa-Bilaba said.
"But if we fail, maybe we will immediately be surrounded by the Separatist fleet." Yularen said.
Luna Huan interrupted from the side: "Ah, you old man, why are you so noisy? If the master says it can be done, then it can be done."
Luna Mengye said calmly: "If we take a detour from the Corellia trade route, the small warships in our fleet will have to go through more hyperspace jumps and replenish fuel. In that case, we will at least still be able to It will take three days to reach Geonosis.”
Depa-Bilaba nodded and said to the two sisters: "Then, when I stabilize the hyperspace channel, you also need to sense how my force operates. This is the hyperspace I have told you many times. theory."
…
Bespin is an orange gas giant planet with a diameter of 11,800 kilometers. At its core is a metal core with a diameter of 6,000 kilometers.
Due to its huge size, Bespin's planet has extremely high pressure and extremely high temperature. It also contains a large number of rare elements that are very rare in the galaxy, as well as very huge reserves that can be processed into weapons-grade explosive gases, and even some of them. Many gases can also be used as conventional fuel for spacecraft after being refined.
If this is the case, then Bespin is just a planet of great mining value, but sometimes we have to lament the magic of the Creator of the universe. Between 150 kilometers and 180 kilometers away from the outermost layer of Bespin, there is an interlayer with a gas composition just right for life.
This mezzanine is called the bespin life zone.
After the Bespin Life Zone was discovered by interstellar explorers, it quickly attracted the attention of many people, and gas mines were opened here. In the days of the Old Republic, Bespin's main product was tibana gas, which could be used as a very efficient coolant for spacecraft's hyperspace engines.
Later, a Lord Ecolesis-Figo from the Corellian system discovered the greater potential of the Bespin planet. He extracted a kind of blaster ammunition from the endless gas of the Bespin planet. of explosive gas.
Realizing the huge business opportunities, Lord Ecolasis immediately commissioned Income Company to build a huge floating city for him in the Bespin Life Zone - Cloud City.
After hundreds of years of development, Cloud City has become a luxurious city integrating mining, production, tourism, and vacation, bringing countless wealth to Lord Figo's descendants every year.
And because of the rise of Cloud City, dozens of floating cities of different sizes have been built in the Bespin Life Zone, with a total of 6 million permanent residents living in them.
As the city continues to expand, more capital begins to pour in. Corellian Engineering and Income Corporation became the largest investors outside of Lord Figo's personal consortium and owned a large number of properties here.
In recent years, the political situation of the Galactic Republic has been unstable and separatism has become increasingly fierce. However, the planet Bespin is making a lot of money. They neither want to help the republic nor pay attention to the separatism.
So after the war between the two sides broke out, the leadership of the Bespin planet headed by Yun Cheng immediately announced that they would remain neutral.
Then……
Dawn Planet's fleet came over a few hours later.
Tang Xiao doesn't care whether you are neutral or not. Since the war has broken out, you are either my friend or my enemy! What's more, the Bespin planet is only 8 seconds away from the Endor system. Even a large-scale fleet invasion can arrive within a few hours.
Coupled with Bespin's rich resources and convenient transportation - a very critical factor is that the planet Bespin is located at the end of the Corellian trade route, and the Corellian trade route is the most important hyperspace route in the galaxy. one. The hyperspace of this route is very stable, and even the largest fleet can pass through it smoothly.
For example, the planet Bespin is like a mine next to the terminus of a subway line. Although the terminus is a small station and there is no transfer line or anything, it is still on the subway line. Where to go? All very convenient.
From this point of view, it gave Tang Xiao even more reason to capture this place. If the fleet of the Fourth Civilization passes through Bespin and then moves forward, it will be difficult for the Galactic Republic to keep track of the movements of its fleet!
You must know that the Bespin Life Zone is also within the scope of this gas giant planet. It is too easy to block information and hide the fleet here!
Due to this series of considerations, Tang Xiao arbitrarily modified the plan given to him by General Grievous to attack the planet Kriselist, and instead attacked the neutral planet Bespin!
The Bespin garrison and the nearby Galactic Republic local defense fleet had already known about the invasion of the Dawn Planet fleet. After Fleet A left hyperspace, they immediately assembled 150 warships to attack the fleet that had just left hyperspace and had not had time to deploy its shields. An assault was launched!
Admiral Matt Horner, commander of Fleet A of the Fourth Civilization, came to the battlefield in person. He took command of a Sova-class aircraft carrier as the flagship. Around the aircraft carrier, there are three Blue Sky-class command ships assisting his command, passing every command to every battleship and even every squad.
