Chapter 34: Chapter 30
Thousands of fighter planes, gunships, bombers, and transport planes of all kinds of drsigns descended on the planet. Paratroopers descended with their parachutes as they landed and took key points of the planets.
Tanks dropped from the low planet orbit, creating artificial meteors that directly hit the defense batteries of the planet. The planet, didn't even stood a chance as they can't activate their planetary shields in time when the fleet suddenly blitzed their way on the planet.
Soldiers tried to mount counter offensives against the still landing troops but the sheer number that the sky literally dyed black due to them blocking the light from the star was enough to have them lose their will to fight.
"I surrender! I surrender!" shouted soldier after soldier as they dropped on the ground and threw their blaster rifles away.
The paratroopers descended in like a thunder on every soldier. When they landed they immediately fired upon the surrendering soldiers without second thoughts.
"W-what are you doing! S-stop, we surrender!" shouted a soldier in despair as he tried to evade the bolter fires of the paratroopers.
"Fuck, whare they thinking!" questioned the soldier in his mind a he rolled and picked up a blaster rifle and took cover under the bushes.
He peaked behind his cover only to see a squad of paratroopers with the insignia of an eagle on their helmets and chest plates.
"Are those the despicable people who orchestrated the clone wars?" questioned the soldier in his mind as anger soothed in his skin which reminded him of all those horrors his family experienced.
"I'll kill you, all of you!" growled the soldier in his mind as he aimed his blaster rifle to one of the paratroopers as he heard them talk in an unknown language.
"Ready the flares, we're near the communication tower of the enemy we need air support." said the squad leader to his squad as he used a binocular to observe the communication tower up ahead.
The soldier, seeing this, immediately realized their intentions, they want to paralyze their communications as he immediately went out to warn the soldiers on the communication tower.
But as he moved, he stepped on a pack of dried leaves creating a rustling sound which was heard by the squad.
The captain immediately turned his head to source of the sound as the soldiers aimed their lasrifles at the bushes where the source of the sound came from.
The captain called out as he unholstered his laspistol and slowly walked to the bushes as he signalled his squad mates to cover him.
"Fuck fuck." breathed the soldier aggressively as he tried to search for another hiding spot. The Captain is slowly making his way to the bushes as he spread open the bushes.
Just then, he saw a hole on near him as he immediately entered this tight hole to hide. As the captain opened up the bushes only to see no one he observed for a couple more seconds and returned to his squad.
"What's that captain?" asked a paratrooper as he fixed his helmet and ticked the safety pin of his lasrifle.
"An animal most likely, probably some deer like creatures." shrugged the captain as he looked at his binoculars once again to scout the communication tower.
"It looks like they still aren't aware of the attack." said the captain with a smirk on his face.
"Let's move out!"
...
The whole galaxy shook in a day, the Galactic Empire literally was caught off guard on all fronts. Palpatine was only announcing the the declaration as reports and data about the attack of the Imperium reached his palace on the Imperial Capital. Imperial planetary bases after planetary bases fell in less than a day. None can resist the might of the Imperium.
The Imperium closed in from what they saw as the unknown regions of space. The puppets and colonies fell without a fight. Their spaceports were silenced and scrapped before the might of the Imperial battleships.
Palpatine back on his palace at the Imperial Capital was furious at the events. He didn't believed that the Imperium has the capabilities of actually stretching a whole front billions of light years in diameter. He originally believed that his empire is either larger or on par with them. This matter has happened due to the lack of information on where the capital of the Imperium really is. But with their appearance from the unknown regions, it opened up new opportunities to gather information about them.
"I'm still underestimating them even after all those years." said Palatine as he threw destroyed the monitor on his office that keeps on beeping due to barrage of notifications of the reports flooding all across the Empire.
"How many soldiers do we have that can be immediately mobilized?" asked Palpatine to his assistant who's also inside the room. She bowed gently and answered.
"Your Imperial Majesty, we currently have a raised army with more than twelve billion soldiers, hundreds of thousands of armored transports with tanks reaching a million , and a couple hundred thousand TIE fighters on hangars excluding the ones on the Imperial fleets." answered the assistant truthfully.
"Too few, where's the Supreme Commander?" asked Palpatine once again, their current manpower is too few to even man the ginormous front line the Imperium opened up.
"He's currently trying to organize and mount a counterattack as they plan on encircling and wiping out a gigantic enemy fleet with more than 75 ships of sizes no less than 3 kilometers. They theorized that this fleet is command fleet of the supposed vanguard army." answered the assistant immediately. The Empire is literally caught off guard with the sudden thunder like attack by the Imperium.
"He reported that it's the largest force and wiping it out will surely ease out the pressure from our front." added the assistant which made Palpatine slightly nod.
"I would like to see how will this large Imperium fleet go against the hundreds of ships of one of main Imperial fleet." chuckled Palpatine as he imagined the absolute curb stomping of an outcome by one of his main fleet.
This main fleet consists of thousands of ships and a hundred star destroyers, almost each star destroyer is unique making this fleet a jack of all trades. He's already imagining the slow down of the planet hopping campaign of the Imperium.
Somewhere on a star system...
The Imperial main fleet under the command of the Supreme Commander of the Navy has sallied out as they aimed to encircle the largest battlefleet of the enemy. Their plan is simple, the home defense fleet will be the bait while they appear on the last minute and swoop in to eliminate the enemy.
A plan that doesn't require brain power to implement and follow.
"Admiral, the enemy has appeared on the intended star system. The plan has gone into full swing." reported an officer to the admiral.
"Very well, we'll close in the net when the time comes! Prepare the hyperdrives!"
...
The Battlefleet Azure was tasked on spearheading the Imperium's advance on the Empire's territories. They're one of the largest battlefleets sent for this task. They're not necessarily the main force as there's really no main force on this campaign.
The central command doesn't need to provide and categorize a force as the main force as each force sent can act either independently or with the nearby battlefleets to conquer a star system if needed. It's a system implemented on the Grand Army of Napoleon I back on the Napoleonic era. A proven and tested way of military system.
"Lord Admiral! The enemy home defense fleet of this star system is weak, it's only a hundred ships and most of them are less than a kilometer in length. Most of them won't pose a threat, however that spearhead looking ship might do damage against us!" said an officer to the Lord Admiral with respect.
"We're tasked of capturing this strategic choke point. If we failed to do so, our logistics will be cut and we'll be forced to halt our glorious advance. Also our brothers on sisters on Naboo wouldn't be able to receive reinforcements as this star system is in conjunction with a desert planet and Naboo!" reminded an inquisitor to the Lord Admiral which just nodded.
"Failure is not an option, the guardsmen shall land and take the planet at all cost from these heretics following a false emperor." nodded in agreement of the commissar of the ship.
"In that case, shall we have 'those' ready?" asked the Lord Admiral to the two people.
"Totally, ready 'those' just in case the planet is unconquerable." nodded the inquisitor lightly.
"Very well, officer! Arm ready the virus bombs!" ordered the Lord Admiral with a growl.
