Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

Chapter 664: The Battle of Christophsis (17)

22BBY, August 11 at 6:41 PM GST.

Chaleydonia, the Capital Crystal City of Christophsis.

Explosions, Gunshots, and Roars were heard here almost non-stop, Clones, Droids, and Christophsians mixed together, launching this extremely Cruel Battle.

Especially in the Core Area of ??the Battle between the two sides, the Defense Line of the Commercial Center, the Battle was even more intense! In this once prosperous Commercial Center, almost equivalent to a City within a City, the Total Number of Troops invested by both sides has exceeded 400,000!

"Squall Company! Quickly go to the East Side of the building for reinforcements! There are a large number of Undead over there!"

"The Deflector Shield of the Warship Hall has been penetrated, Zi... prepare to retreat!"

"Air Support...! Where is the Air Support? Si... Separatist Stealth Starfighters are everywhere!"

"G-7's... The Army's position has fallen... It's the... Black... Army!!"

"Residents spread out quickly! The Isolation Zone grows... the East Side... grows a gap! We need to grow..."

"Zi..."

"Zi..."

At the height of the Battle, almost all the Command Channels, Tactical Channels, and Squad Channels of the Republic Army, except for the almost non-stop hissing, there was nothing left.

Rex dropped the Subspace Transceiver abruptly, and said to Anakin Skywalker on the side: "No, General, the entire Communication Network is completely paralyzed! Could it be that the Communication Tower was destroyed?"

"This is impossible! Even if the Communication Tower is destroyed, our Warships can still function as a Communication Node!" Anakin looked solemn, "Even if the Hall is forced to retreat, there are still two Acclamator-class Assault Ships above Chaleydonia! Our Communication cannot be terminated! Unless there is a problem with the Communication Tower and the Warships at the same time."

"Then... what if it's really the Communication Tower and the Warships that went wrong at the same time?" Ahsoka Tano said with a frown.

Anakin Skywalker fell silent, and after a while, he said, "Communication must be re-established! Let's go to the Communication Tower immediately!"

"General, the entire Battle Situation is in chaos now. The Black Army has not been resolved. Although the Living Dead have been restricted to the North of the City, they may break through the Blockade at any time, and those Mutated Yinchorri... problems emerged one after another, but none of them could be resolved in the end." Rex said in a deep voice, "I'm worried that this is just part of a series of Separatist Conspiracies..."

"Communication is the foundation of everything. The Separatists may be trying to cut off our Communication and let us perish in chaos." Anakin said, "Restoring Communication is urgent! I think, on the Battlefield in Outer Space, Obi-Wan is doing the same thing."

...

At the same time, on the Outer Space Battlefield of Christophsis, relying on the terrifying sea of ??Missiles of the Marza-class Heavy Cruiser, the Starfighter Force that the Galactic Republic is proud of finally encountered a serious challenge!

Contrary to the Javelis LRM-class Missile Frigate that mainly targets the opponent's Capital Warships, the Marza-class Heavy Missile Cruiser [Note 1:] is extremely fierce, but the Main Combat Target is Starfighters or Smaller Battleships.

The Missiles supporting the Marza-class are the 'Fire Cloud' Series Missiles, which come in three sizes: Large, Medium and Small. The Main Way of Killing with this type of Missile is to produce a Cloud of Radiation after the Explosion, and in windless space, with this kind of Missile, the Radiation Cloud can exist for a long time, constantly compressing the activity space of the opponent's Starfighters.

A Saturation Attack of a Marza-class Heavy Missile Cruiser can cover a range of Thousands of Kilometers, and the Starfighters involved in it will be destroyed by the Dense Radiation Clouds everywhere if they are not careful.

Moreover, this does not mean that the Marza-class poses no threat to Capital Warships. The Radiation Cloud of the 'Fire Cloud' Series of Missiles is actually a kind of High-Energy Particle with Powerful Energy. The Physical Properties of these Particles are between Energy Bodies and Entities, during this period, once it acts on the Deflector Shield, about 30% of the High-Energy Particles will directly damage the Battleship Armor without triggering the Deflector Shield Reaction, which can be described as extremely vicious!

This is also the first Shield-Piercing Weapon of the Fourth Civilization. The Salarian Scientist Padok Wiks [Note 2:] attaches great importance to this Weapon, because it is related to the development of a series of Shield-Piercing and even Armor-Piercing Weapons in the future.

With the Fire Cover of the Marza-class Heavy Missile Cruiser, Sev'rance Tann assembled the Fleet and launched an attack on the Republic Fleet with a Battle Formation. She split the Fleet into two, from the direction of the North and South Poles of Christophsis to assault at the same time.

Wullf Yularen took off a full 5,000 Starfighters to meet them, and it took heavy losses to stop Sev'rance Tann's crazy attack.

And at this moment, bad news came from the Ground Battlefield!

The Bad News is that there is no news!

"Check the Communication Network immediately! Why can't any of the Ground Forces on Christophsis be contacted now!?" Obi-Wan Kenobi said loudly.

"All Communication Devices are completely normal and undamaged, and all Subspace Signals sent to the ground have been received, and there is no sign of damage to the Ground Base Station." The Communications Officer said.

"Then if this is the case, why is the Subspace Communication interrupted?" Obi-Wan frowned, and suddenly he felt something, turned to look at the Communication Department, and found that the Signal Device over there was constantly sending messages, "What messages are we sending? "

"It's a request for help. The current battle situation is not optimistic, and I also think we should ask for help." Admiral Wullf Yularen said.

"You also think you should ask for help, so you didn't order this order?" Obi-Wan grasped the point at once, and he walked over quickly to check the message, "...our Fleet...was attacked, Dawn's Fleet A is attacking, requesting support..."

He was startled suddenly, "No! We haven't identified the number of the Separatist Support Army at all. Why does this information accurately state that this is Dawn's Fleet A?!"

Wullf Yularen also immediately sensed that something was wrong, "Hurry up and terminate the Signal Transmission!!"

"No... can't be terminated..." After a while of operation, the Communications Officer turned his head in astonishment.

"Damn! Our Communication System has been hacked! Check it immediately!" Obi-Wan said loudly.

...

"I just received the news that our Communication System has been disrupted, and the focus of the Separatist attack has shifted to our Communication Facilities! There is a Special Force coming, we must block them!" In the Central Communication Tower of Chaleydonia, Slick Sergeant CI-3331 speaks to his Clones.

"I'm a little worried. From just now, it's as if we've been isolated by this War and I don't even know what we're doing. The crowd of Undead mentioned before didn't come." The Clone Trooper's intuition was a little wrong, but he couldn't tell why.

"Because of this, we can't make any mistakes! We have lost contact with the Space Fleet... the Communication Tower, don't lose it." Slick said earnestly.

After a while, Slick suddenly pointed in one direction, "Here they come! It's over there! Fire!!"

"Fire!!" The Clone Troopers hiding behind the Bunker immediately shot at the approaching shadow.

Over there, Rex quickly led the Team to cover on the spot, "Bastard! The Separatists have indeed occupied the Communication Tower! Prepare to fight! We must take it back!"

[ Note 1: Changed Marza-class Heavy Cruiser to Marza-class Heavy Missile Cruiser. ]

[ Note 2: Arroyo Barlow changed to Padok Wiks, a Salarian Scientist. I believe this is the correct character so this name translation is now fixed. ]
