The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 2488: Operation Poseidon (IV)

2489: Operation Poseidon (IV)

The Geonosians have firmly controlled the interior of the Death Star. The two legions of the Galactic Empire defending the Death Star have suffered heavy casualties. They are trapped in the barracks area and the spaceport inside the Death Star respectively, and cannot unite their forces at all. They can only fight on their own and are completely unable to move.

This was because the Geonosians launched the uprising too suddenly. When the communication was cut off, the Imperial First Army was surrounded by tens of thousands of Geonosian laborers in the barracks. Later, Orson Krennic sent the Third Army to reinforce, but due to the lack of unified command, the Third Army was blocked by the Geonosians after landing at the spaceport.

And unlike the battlefield on the ground, because there are a large number of engineering robots inside the Death Star, these engineering robots have become a deadly threat to the Imperial Army after being cracked by Ganzo-Dawso!

Afterwards, Orson Krennic led the Death Guard to attack the energy core, but he ignored the Third Legion, which was struggling, and directly broke through the Geonosian blockade and rushed in. The dilemma of the Imperial garrison fighting on their own has not been resolved!

This resulted in Orson Krennic leaving the Death Star and heading to the surface of the planet Talasia to attack the Geonosian Queen Carina the Great. The interior of the Death Star quickly fell and was controlled by the Geonosians.

Now, the Geonosians have quickly organized a large number of laborers and engineering robots to start installing the Death Star's hyperspace engine. Faced with this critical moment of extinction, all Geonosian laborers have exerted far greater motivation than usual, almost burning their lives to work.

The Death Star's hyperspace engine is installed in a huge space with an area of ​​hundreds of thousands of square meters near the energy core. It consists of fifteen separate hyperspace acceleration devices. In order to allow such a huge structure to enter hyperspace, the energy required is simply an astronomical figure. In order to distribute such a huge amount of energy, the technology and design required are even more unimaginable.

Emperor Kalina had secretly carried out the construction before, and had only completed most of the hyperspace engine, but there was still the most core part that needed to be installed. Because the core components of the hyperspace engine needed Orson Krennic's personal signature before they could be used, she couldn't complete the installation without Krennic's knowledge.

What the Geonosians need now is time!

……

In the Queen's Lair, Prophet Dara and Orson Krennic were advancing towards the center with great momentum.

The elite Death Guards are invincible like a hot knife cutting through butter. The black power armor they are equipped with was inspired by the CMC-300 power armor of the Kingdom of Dawn. Although they still have not conquered the technology of individual soldier shields, the use of thickened polymer alloy armor and anti-kinetic armor design still makes their defense impeccable.

On the other hand, most of the weapons in the hands of Geonosian warriors were found on the black market. For convenience, most of the weapons sent from the Kingdom of Dawn were handed over to the Geonosian laborers in the Death Star.

Therefore, it is impossible to cause effective damage to the Death Guard with these equipment.

Now, the Geonosian warriors in the lair can only rely on their flesh and blood to stop the advance of the Death Guard.

"Your Majesty, we must leave here!" Ganzo-Doso once again went to find Emperor Karina and asked her to leave as soon as possible.

This time, the queen finally agreed, "I will go with you! But I will never board the Dawn Kingdom's spaceship! They will only kidnap me to the Dawn Planet and make me their slave!"

Ganzo-Doso nodded and said, "Even if it costs my life, I will never hand you over to the Kingdom of Dawn! But now, we must leave!"

Emperor Kalina nodded. At this time, hundreds of Geonosian laborers flew over, wrapped the queen's huge body with a unique blanket, lifted her into the air with difficulty, and flew out along the passage.

At the same time, the last and strongest Geonosian warriors also flew in another direction. They were about to build the last line of defense to stop the Prophet Daala and his men.

Outside the lair, countless Geonosians launched a desperate charge at the two Aquitens-class light cruisers in the sky, but to no avail.

The Aquitens-class light cruiser may not be the protagonist on the cosmic battlefield, but here, it is the undisputed overlord! Any weapon in the hands of the Geonosians can't even make the battleship's shield react!

Only the TIE fighters they captured were of some use, but there were not many of them, only more than ten, and they were not equipped with proton torpedoes, so they could not cause damage to the battleships.

The fighters escorted a cargo ship towards the secret lair exit, ready to take Emperor Kalina away as soon as possible.

……

At this moment, the battle outside the Death Star has gradually become clear.

The fleet brought by the Kingdom of Dawn was obviously no match for the Imperial fleet, and those warships, all controlled by robots, did not engage with the Imperial warships at all, but instead poured all their firepower on the Death Star!

Under normal circumstances, such a fleet would not be able to shake the defense of the Death Star. But now the Death Star is not completed after all. The Empire built a shield projector on the planet Talasiya to remotely project shields to protect the Death Star, but the shield projector has also been captured by the Geonosians. Now the Death Star can only rely on its own armor to resist attacks.

But the problem is that the Death Star's outer armor is only three-quarters complete!

The Dawn Kingdom's warships bombarded the quarter that was not covered by armor, and many of the shells penetrated deep into the Death Star's internal structure and exploded, causing enormous damage. Even the Geonosians who were fighting the Imperial guards in the cabins inside suffered heavy casualties in the bombing!

The Kingdom of Dawn has never cared about the lives of these Geonosians! However, these warships are also being gradually destroyed by the Imperial fleet.

After the Aquitens-class light cruiser formation returned to defend, the Purification-class stealth special forces ship no longer had the effect of a surprise attack, and the subsequent attacks had little effect.

The winner of the space battlefield has been decided.

The two Sova-class aircraft carriers were trying to recover the Ghost fighters that had taken off earlier, and began calculating the hyperspace jump, ready to flee at any time. The other warships were attacking frantically, determined to fight to the death on the Death Star.

Just when the two sides were still entangled, accompanied by a flash of dazzling white light from another direction of the planet Talasia, the reinforcements of the Empire finally arrived!
