The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 2339: Defense of Parmant Harbor

2340: Defense of Port Pamant
Parment Port, located on the planet Parment, was once the largest industrial shipbuilding center in the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The famous Conqueror-class battleship was designed and built here.

The planet Parmant was originally not a very habitable planet, but because it has a relatively vast underground space and very abundant underground water, the aquatic race, the Quarren, can still live in the underground space.

Parmenter and another nearby planet called Minntooine both established their own Quarren colonies thousands of years ago.

During the Clone Wars, when the Quarren and Mon Calamari had a conflict over whether to join the Separatism, a group of extreme Quarren separatists left the planet Dark, established the Quarren Encouragement League, and formed the Free Dark Volunteer Engineering Corps, and then established their own factories on the planets Parmant and Minntooine respectively.

Count Dooku provided a lot of funds for the industrialization of the two planets, and the Techno Union also provided them with technical support. Under the secret manipulation of the great foreman Walter Tambor, a large amount of warship construction information was stolen from the Kuat Power Dockyard, which had not yet separated from the Techno Union.

Through the analysis of these data, and the fact that the Quarren themselves are very good engineers, the Freedak Volunteer Engineering Corps quickly grew and expanded. Among them, the planet Mintoin built the Resister-class light destroyer for Count Dooku, while the planet Parmenter, which had a larger industrial scale, built the Providence-class destroyer/aircraft carrier and the Conqueror-class battleship.

Later, the Clone Wars ended and the Confederacy of Independent Systems was destroyed. However, because the Galactic Empire was unstable at the time, Darth Vader did not go deeper. Instead, after conquering the planet Salukami, he directly accepted the surrender of other planets in the Confederacy of Independent Systems. As a result, the port of Parmenter, located in the rear, was not destroyed by the war, and the shipyard of Mintooin was preserved.

In the following years, the Galactic Empire forced the Quarren to abandon Parment Harbor and the Mintooine Shipyard, requiring them to dismantle all these factories and send all the equipment to the planet Kuat, to be received by the Kuat Power Dockyard in order to expand the scale of Kuat's industry.

As the defeated people, the Quarren had no choice but to accept. However, they were also reluctant, and the progress of demolition and relocation was delayed again and again, and they could never meet the requirements of the Galactic Empire.

In response, the Galactic Empire authorities issued very severe warnings and punishments to the Quarren. However, for the Quarren, the Galactic Empire was very harsh on non-human races like them anyway, so no matter how they were punished, it was just the same, so they continued to delay.

So the Galactic Empire adopted a strategy of pulling one over and trampling the other against the planet Dak, and began to win over the Mon Calamari people, supporting them in suppressing the Quarren again and regaining control of the planet.

Later, when the Galactic Empire launched a war against the Trade Federation, the Quarren's work on dismantling these factories came to a complete halt.

Now, as the war between the Kingdom of Dawn and the Galactic Empire broke out, the Quarren joined the war without hesitation. And their first goal was to retake the industrial bases they had built - the planets of Parmant and Mintoin!

The Quarren originally wanted to drag the Mon Calamari into the war and call on them to rise up against the Galactic Empire, but they refused. Now the Supreme Commander of the Mon Calamari Defense Force, Jar-Akbar also rejected the invitation of the Quarren leader Noso-Ri and refused to lead the fleet put together by the Quarren.

The fleet used by the Quarren to retake the port of Parment was sent by the Given who had now immigrated to the planet Lothal. It was small in number and the warships were not very advanced. Many of them were remnants of the former Confederation of Independent Systems.

Among these warships, there are about 40 battleships and more than 100 small and medium-sized warships. The leader of the Quarren, Prime Minister Noso-Li, chose Seggor Tels as the commander of this fleet. Seggor Tels is a fanatical Quarren nationalist who hates the Mon Calamari to the core. His greatest desire is to expel all the Mon Calamari and let the Quarren dominate the planet Dak.

In his early years, Siegel-Ters served as a junior officer in the local defense force of the Galactic Republic. After Count Dooku launched the separatist movement, he left the Galactic Republic Army and returned to the planet Dak to become a commander. He also participated in the battle on the planet Dak during the Clone Wars.

Later, he gradually matured, and his reputation in the army and among the people of the Quarren gradually began to emerge. Although he had no experience in commanding large-scale fleet operations, Prime Minister Noso-Li still wanted to give him this opportunity to let him grow on a larger stage.

On September 9, Siegel-Ters led the fleet to the planet Parment. The fleet stationed here by the Galactic Empire included 18 Imperial-class Star Destroyers, 8 Victory II-class Star Destroyers, and several small and medium-sized warships.

The Galactic Empire originally planned to withdraw the fleet here, but considering the large number of industrial facilities here, in order to prevent these industrial facilities from falling into the hands of the Kingdom of Dawn, they decided to retain the garrison. They also ordered the fleet commander to immediately bomb the industrial facilities if the situation was not good to ensure that the Separatists could not get these things.

That afternoon, the fleets of both sides engaged in a fierce battle in the outer space of the planet Parmant. Siegel-Ters ordered all warships to charge and enter a close melee state as quickly as possible to prevent the imperial warships from bombing the planet's industrial facilities.

At the same time, hundreds of transport ships loaded with combat robots and Quarren separatist soldiers broke through the planet's anti-aircraft firepower network and forcibly landed on the planet!

Although the scale of this battle was not large, the fighting situation was extremely tragic!

Neither side had enough troops to control the outer areas of the entire planet, so they were basically unable to stop the other side's landing operations. The Galactic Empire's ground forces of about 20 people fought fiercely with the Quarren's more than 10000 Quarren warriors and more than 50000 B-1 battle robots.

In order to fight underwater, Siegel-Ters also deployed more than 8000 manta ray underwater combat robots to assist in the battle. These were all weapons and equipment left over from the previous Confederation of Independent Systems.

In addition to a small number of clone soldiers, most of the Galactic Empire's troops were human soldiers recruited from other surrounding planets. In order to deal with this attack, they also recruited a group of Quarren and Mon Calamari from the laborers on the planet Parmant, armed them, and fought against their own compatriots.

The battle on the surface of the planet was also taking place on the ground and in the water in the underground passages. Both sides fought without any mercy and blood flowed like a river.

Siegel-Ters is not a particularly good commander, but the current battle situation is relatively simple. The only thing he needs to do is to put more warships and troops into a melee with the Galactic Empire!

He vowed to take back the industrial wonder that the Quarren had built! It didn't matter how advanced the industry on Dak was, because Parmant and Mintoin were the industries that belonged to the Quarren!
