1443. Survive in a difficult situation
The planet Dorin, the hometown of the Kel-Dor people, is also the race that gave birth to a generation of great men such as Jedi Masters Plo-Kon and Sha-Kon.
The most obvious features of the Kel-dor are their tough and airtight skin, and the masks and respirators they wear at all times. However, like the Jiwen people with bony outer skulls, generally speaking, such an appearance can only mean one thing -
Planet Dolin is one of the planets with the most extreme environment in the galaxy.
The Dorin Galaxy where this planet is located has two massive black holes nearby. However, these two black holes and a star do not form a three-body system. Instead, they are independent of each other and have their own stable orbits.
However, when the planet Dolin orbits closer to one of the black holes, part of the planet's atmosphere will be attracted by the black hole's gravity. Over time, the atmosphere of the planet Dolin will remain very thin for a long time, and at the same time, it will be filled with a large amount of harmful substances. gas.
At the same time, the gravity of the black hole will warp even the light, so the Dolin planet will have no light for a long time during its revolution. Although there is no light, the radiation from the black hole has become the source of energy that nourishes everything on the planet.
The same is true. Due to the influence of the two black holes, the hyperspace channel where the planet Dolin is located is not navigable at all times. Whenever a planet is affected by the gravity of a black hole, the hyperspace channel will be full of dangers and generally cannot be used. Hey
But just like the Jiwen people, under this extreme environment, the glorious civilization of the Kel-dor people was born. The Kel-Dor people have built their own industrial system and scientific research system. They are also one of the few races in the galaxy that can move towards the interstellar era on their own.
Not only that, the brave and capable Kel-dor people are also very good warriors in the galaxy. They are often active in every corner of the galaxy as mercenaries and bounty hunters.
Because of this, when the planet Dorin was attacked by the geth, the Seventh Army of the Galactic Republic immediately sent a fleet to reinforce it.
At the same time, it is also because when the Kitumite Military Alliance headed by Anxin Planet broke away from the Galactic Republic and joined the Confederation of Independent Systems, the northern gateway of the Galactic Republic was the planet Dorin.
The original plan of the Supreme Strategic Command of the Galactic Republic was to rely on the developed industrial system of the planet Dorin to defend against geth attacks. However, judging from the current battle situation, it is obvious that the Supreme Strategic Command is overthinking.
The geth have become a climate, and their strength is growing every day. As they control more and more planets, their strength is expanding faster and faster! This is completely beyond the worst-case scenario made by the Supreme Strategic Command!
And now, under the command of Gilad Pellaeon, the temporary commander of the Second Squadron of the Seventh Army of the Galactic Republic, the assembled Republic fleet flew straight in the direction of the black hole! Hey
Although many battleship captains have raised objections to this, because flying into a black hole under such circumstances is tantamount to seeking death!
However, Gilad Perrine insisted on this order and even demanded that if the captain refused to carry out the order, he would be arrested immediately and replaced by the deputy captain.
The captains looked at the eager expressions of their deputy captains and could only agree one by one.
In fact, even if they don't do this, what else can they do in the face of the siege of the geth fleet? By the time Gilad Pellaeon took over command of the fleet, the Second Squadron had actually been defeated by the geth fleet.
If you continue like this, it will only delay the time of failure.
As for surrender? Don't think that the geth will leave anyone alive!
So it's all a matter of death, so it's better to give it a try while someone comes up with a plan now. Hey
Under the instructions of Gilad Pellaeon, all the fighters returned to the battleships, and all the battleships formed a circular array, like hedgehogs, relying on dense formations and intensive firepower to fight against the high-mobility fleet of the geth. .
This strategy has achieved preliminary results. After all, if the two sides stand still and engage in bombardment, the Jie's length is only 300 meters.
After all, the Sri Lankan cruiser is still inferior to the 1,137-meter-long Jaeger-class battlecruiser. But to be honest, the fact that these two types of battleships can be compared together shows the terrifying performance of the geth battleships!
But just like that, he is still waiting to die. At most, it's just a matter of burying him with a few more geth warships before he dies.
"Everyone prepare for zero gravity! Turn off the artificial gravity system!" Following Gilad Pellaeon's order, everyone in all the battleships immediately grabbed the things next to them, and the control desk and Soldiers in the control room seats secured themselves with safety belts.
Soon, the artificial gravity system was turned off, and everything in the battleship floated. Everyone held their breath in unison at this time. In such a gravityless environment, everyone was very nervous.
In this way, the Republic fleet formed a dense formation and flew towards a black hole, while the geth warships were in hot pursuit. One of the two sides chased and the other escaped, while fierce exchanges of fire continued.
Some Republic warships were damaged due to collisions with each other and fell out of formation. The lone battleship was quickly completely destroyed by the geth battleship. Hey
However, Gilard Perrine's command was very calm. He constantly directed the warships to fill the gaps and ensure that there would be no loopholes in the formation.
At this moment, every battleship suddenly shook violently! Then there was gravity again inside the battleship, but this time, the gravity was deflected in the direction of the black hole! The unfixed objects in the battleship all slid towards the front of the battleship.
A soldier at the console turned his head and said in horror: "Sir! We have entered the gravitational range of the black hole! We are going to be captured by the black hole's gravity!!"
Everyone's face was pale.
Everyone knows the consequences of being captured by the gravity of a black hole! It is different from being captured by the gravity of the planet. The gravity of the planet is only that big. Even if it is captured, if the battleship still has power, it will be forced to land on the surface of the planet at worst.
But black holes are different! The gravitational pull of a black hole is hundreds of thousands of times that of an ordinary planet! In other words, if it is captured by a black hole, it will not be long before it is directly torn apart by the strong gravity, broken down into fragments smaller than atoms, and then dragged into the black hole.
In other words, the countdown to the life of this fleet has begun! Hey
The siren kept sounding, and the controller shouted with a cry, "Sir! We are close to the limit! If we continue to move forward, we will not be able to escape the gravity of the black hole!!"
"Hold on! If we can't do it, the geth battleships can't do it!" Gilad Pellaeon, who was also covered in cold sweat, shouted sternly.
Sure enough, several of the geth warships that had been besieging them before were captured by the gravity of the black hole, spinning uncontrollably, and then being pulled into the depths of the black hole.
The remaining geth warships quickly turned and fled away from the black hole.
"Sir!!" the controller yelled.
Gilad Perrine didn't need to listen to what he said to know what he meant. The battleship had exceeded its limit! Now they can no longer escape the gravitational pull of the black hole!
"Now! Start the anti-gravity systems on every ship! The direction of gravity is opposite to that of the black hole! Turn on the engines of all ships! Leave the black hole range!" Gilad Pellaeon gave the order, "As soon as you break away from gravity, start the hyperspace engine immediately! "Uh-huh
Under his order, the anti-gravity systems of all battleships operated at full capacity, and all energy was supplied to the engines!
Under the pull of two powerful gravitational forces, almost everyone suffered extremely strong pressure! Some crew members who were in poor physical condition even fainted on the spot! The objects in the battleship began to rotate due to the gravitational competition in different directions, and they were getting faster and faster!
Finally, the Republic fleet escaped the gravitational pull of the black hole and flew straight ahead like an arrow from a string! However, several battleships were still dragged into the black hole due to engine damage.
At this time, those geth warships that were escaping happened to have their backs facing the Republic's fleet!
Without any hesitation, the Republic battleship opened fire immediately! The firepower from behind immediately disrupted the geth warship.
formation, several geth warships were destroyed.
The Second Squadron did not stop because of this. While the geth warships were reorganizing their formation, they immediately started the hyperspace engine and immediately left the battlefield regardless of the hyperspace chaos that might occur under the influence of the black hole!
...bah
At the same time, the capital of the Galactic Republic, Coruscant.
Two days have passed since Chancellor Palpatine was assassinated. During the past two days, the Supreme Council of the Jedi Order, led by Shaak-Ti, has been discussing how to solve the current problem.
Just send out all the troops to kill Darth Sidious? Impossible, they will soon become traitors and be surrounded and suppressed by the entire Galaxy Republican Army.
Waiting for death? That is even more impossible, and it is impossible for Darth Sidious to let go of the Jedi Order. I just don't know what he is waiting for now.
Leaving Coruscant? Now that the planet has been blocked, they can't even send communications.
Anakin Skywalker was also in this uneasy atmosphere. He sat uneasily on the bed in his dormitory, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
What happened in just one month almost overturned everything he knew! Hey
First there was Master Windu being expelled from the Jedi Order, then the appearance of the Blood Knight, Barriss-Ophee's horrific attack, her accusations against the Jedi Order in the Inquisition, and...
The departure of Ahsoka Tano.
Even if he continues to look forward, the changes in his mother, the conspiracy of the Dead Angels, the development of the war situation, and...everything that happened on the planet Onderon are all challenging the values that he has formed in the Jedi Order over the past ten years. .
Because during the battle on the planet Onderon, he even truly believed that Wilhuff Tarkin's extreme actions were correct!
And in Anakin's view, the development of the battle situation is constantly proving the correctness of Tarkin's theory. It was also because of this battle that he and Tarkin became friends.
In fact, in the past, the kind-hearted Anakin would never have imagined that he could become friends with an extreme militant.
And now... someone actually told him that Palpatine, the Chancellor of the Galactic Republic, is the Sith Lord Darth Sidious! Hey
What happened to this galaxy?
Anakin Skywalker asked himself this question repeatedly in the past two days, but he didn't have any answer.
Beep beep beep beep, the communicator suddenly sounded.
Anakin was shocked! Because now even the communication is blocked, how could there be any communication reaching me? !
However, when he saw the text message sent by the communication, his face suddenly turned pale!
Communication from, Sheev Palpatine! Speaker of the Galactic Republic! At the same time, the Sith Lord Darth Sidious!
Anakin's heart beat violently, his fists clenched tightly, and he even wanted to rush over and pierce the Sith Lord's chest with his sword right now! Maybe now is the best opportunity! Hey
He stood up suddenly, picked up his lightsaber and looked at it carefully, then hung the lightsaber on his waist and walked out.
The entire Jedi Order is now in a state of confusion, and no one cares about his departure. Anyway, many people have left the Jedi Order in the past few days, but most of them just wander around and then come back, unable to do anything.
The current leader of the Jedi Order, Shaak-Ti, also strictly prohibited them from taking any extraordinary actions.
Anakin Skywalker came to the square, where there was already a hover car parked here. He got on the car, and without him saying anything, the robot driver controlled the hover car and drove directly towards the Parliament Building. There were no words along the way. any obstruction.
In the square outside the Parliament Building, there were heavily armed Sparti clone soldiers everywhere. These soldiers surrounded the entire building, almost impenetrable.
Seeing this posture, Anakin Skywalker's face turned gloomy.
The hovercar stopped, Anakin-Tianxing
The reporter originally thought that he would be surrounded by countless soldiers immediately, but this did not happen. He was just led by a protocol robot towards the speaker's office on the highest floor of the parliament building. Hey
Standing at the door of the Speaker's office, Anakin Skywalker stopped and took a deep breath.
I don't know why, but there are no guards outside. But Anakin knew that inside...the culprit who had plunged the entire galaxy into chaos, the Sith Lord Darth Sidious!
Anakin Skywalker took off the hilt of the lightsaber from his waist and held it tightly in his hand. Although he did not open it, he was ready to fight!
Click, the automatic door opened gently...a familiar but weak voice came, and the scene that greeted his eyes made Anakin Skywalker stunned!
"Thank you for your hard work, Governor Tarkin... We need to give more reinforcements to the planet Dorin. We must avoid... ahem... prevent the fall of the planet Dorin... ahem... we cannot lose... Kel-Dor My people...cough cough cough cough..."
