Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

Chapter 639: The Battle of Christophsis (6)

On Christophsis, Passel Argente, the Magistrate of the Corporate Alliance, finally decided to continue to increase the stakes as he must win this Rich Planet.

In the absence of enough Battleships, Passel Argente gathered a large number of Hardcell-class Interstellar Transports, loaded with Millions of B-1 Battle Droids and B-2 Super Battle Droids, and flew to Christophsis.

At this moment, on the outskirts of the Planet, the Republic Fleet Commander Wullf Yularen and Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, who have initially completed the landing work, are also preparing to launch an attack on the Confederacy of Independent Systems Fleet led by Admiral Trench.

At this time, a Civilian Passenger Liner also flew to the Republic's Fleet and docked at Obi-Wan's Flagship, the Hangar Platform of the Negotiator, a Venator-class Star Destroyer.

Anakin Skywalker opened the cabin door, turned around, bowed to the terrified Civilian Passengers in the Cabin, and said: "I'm sorry for causing trouble to you because the battle situation is urgent, I have to requisition this Spaceship, and let you come to this battlefield. But please rest assured, the battle situation is under our control now, you are safe, now, you can go back."

After speaking, he waved his hand. The Pilot of the Passenger Liner nodded without hesitation, and said a little blankly: "Okay, I will drive the Starliner back immediately."

"Anakin!!" Obi-Wan Kenobi came from behind and reprimanded sharply: "How can you Commandeer a Passenger Liner to come to the battlefield! And there are at least 200 Passengers on board!!"

Anakin frowned impatiently, "The Spaceport on Rodia's side is full of refugees fleeing, and this is the only way for me to get here in the shortest time."

"Since the Spaceport on Rodia is full of refugees, why can you still find a Spaceship?" Obi-Wan Kenobi suddenly thought of a question.

"I couldn't find it originally..." Anakin's eyes looked down in another direction with some guilt, "In order to get here in time, I had to ask for help. I directly used his Authority to help me arrange a Spaceship, and he let me requisition it temporarily."

"Who did you turn to for help?" Obi-Wan asked.

"Supreme Chancellor Palpatine," Anakin replied.

"Although the battle situation is urgent, it shouldn't be done this way." Obi-Wan shook his head. "No! It should!" Anakin raised his voice, pointing in the direction of Christophsis and said loudly: "There are still 35 Billion people here who are under the threat of Separatism! I just rescued Gardulla the Hutt. Hey, it's possible for you to send a Fleet over for reinforcements! Now those 200 Civilians just went around the battlefield, and our Fleet is here to protect them!"

"Enough Anakin! You have seriously crossed the line in this matter! After the battle is over, you should immediately return to the Jedi Order to report on your duties and accept your punishment!" Obi-Wan Kenobi said sharply, "Imagine carefully! The responsibilities of the Jedi Knights! We should be the Guardians of the people, not those who are guarded by the people!"

Anakin was shocked and realized his mistake. He lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, Master, I was wrong. I will accept the punishment."

Obi-Wan sighed softly and said: "The next batch of reinforcements from the Republic is coming because the war on Falleen is not going well. What's worse, our Outpost near Rishi was raided, and the Fleet including 3 Venator-class Star Destroyers and 10 Frigates were all broken into pieces before sending out a Distress Signal. For safety reasons, the Supreme Strategic Command decided to suspend the deployment of reinforcements to Christophsis, so this is the last batch."

"A Squadron of this size was completely wiped out before it could send out a message? Also, what does it mean to be broken into pieces?" Anakin asked with a frown.

"Literally." Obi-Wan replied, "If you want to see the image information sent back by the Warships that went to investigate, it's in the Database. But I suggest...you'd better not read it."

After finishing speaking, Obi-Wan sighed again, "Go to the surface of Christophsis to fight as soon as possible. The Supreme Strategic Command has established the 501st Battalion and the 327th Star Corps under the 13th Army, with 9,216 people. [Note 1] You are the Commander of this Battle Regiment. From now on, they will be your direct Troops, this is an order personally issued by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, it seems that he has taken a fancy to you."

Anakin nodded, "I understand, I will immediately go to Christophsis, and strive to defeat the Separatist Army as soon as possible and bring peace to this Planet."

Obi-Wan nodded and said: "We really can't stay for long. Until the mysterious existence that destroyed the Fleet of Rishi is found, we are far from being safe here. I will immediately launch an attack on the Separatist Fleet with Admiral Yularen. Attacking them, and repelling their Fleets, will better aid Ground Operations."

"Okay." After Anakin finished speaking, he didn't care about taking a rest and went directly to his own Delta-7 Starfighter in the Hangar Platform, the Navigation Droid that originally belonged to Senator Padmé Amidala R2-D2 was already on standby in the Droid position of the Starfighter.

"Let's go R2-D2! Let's liberate this Planet!!" Anakin said, started the Engine, and drove the Starfighter towards Christophsis.

...

At the same time, the Transport Fleet jointly dispatched by the Corporate Alliance and the Retail Clan has also arrived on the battlefield. Admiral Trench, who was originally guarding near the Moon of Christophsis, also took the initiative to attack, launching an active attack on the Fleet of the Galactic Republic with a weak force.

In fact, Admiral Trench has more Battleships than the Republic Fleet, but in this era of Starfighters shining brilliantly, if you can't solve the massive Starfighters carried by the Venator-class Star Destroyers, then you are at a disadvantage.

Even with Admiral Trench's Command Level, he couldn't make up for this gap. Thousands of Starfighters escorted the BTL-B Y-wing Bombers to wreak havoc among the fleet of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. One after another, the Hiigaran-class Battlecruisers and the Munificent-class Frigates were paralyzed by the Proton Torpedoes fired by the BTL-B Y-wing Bombers at close range.

However, the desperate attacks of these Warships still gave the Transport Fleet some opportunities. A large number of Hardcell-class Interstellar Transports broke into the atmosphere of Christophsis and unloaded all the Millions of Droids that were ready to go. This Huge Army joined the establishment of General Whorm Loathsom, and he Commanded the Army to launch another attack on Chaleydonia, the Crystal City Capital of Christophsis!

The battle became extremely fierce, because he knew that the Fleet in space would not last long, and he would soon lose his Air Supremacy and fight alone, so it can be said that Whorm Loathsom tried his best to suppress with all the Troops he could use and decide the outcome!

[Note 1: Regarding the number of people in the 501st Legion, I checked some related entries on Wookieepedia, but I couldn't find any. However, the 501st Battalion is the organization of 'Legion', and in the Grand Republic Army, the standard number of 'Legion' is 7,000 Combat Troops, plus a total of 9,216 Logistics Personnel, plus various Armored Units, just enough for an Acclamator-class Assault Ship. So here we continue to use the data of 9,216 members of the 501st Battalion. Please point out if there are any mistakes or omissions. ]
