2559: The Destruction of the Destroyer (Part )
The battleship Destruction did not hold out until the arrival of reinforcements from Lieutenant General Lin Nanyi.

Ever since the battle outside the planet Kashyyyk ended and the fleet led by General Grievous fled in panic in front of the Eye of Palpatine, the USS Destroyer has been hunted down by the Galactic Empire's super battleship Palpatine's Eye.

General Grievous first used the Destroyer's advanced jump engine to perform a long-distance hyperspace jump and returned to Hutt space. And because the Destroyer had been damaged by Palpatine's Eye, he decided to return the battleship to the dock on the planet Kubindi for repairs.

Kubindi is a very inconspicuous planet orbiting a blue giant star. Due to the strong stellar radiation and flares of the blue giant star, it is almost impossible for life to exist on the planet's surface.

During the period of the Galactic Republic, Kubindi was discovered as a new planet, and the native Kubaz people began to serve the Galactic Republic.

However, the Galactic Republic Senate rejected the Kubaz's request for hyperspace navigation technology at the time, mainly because the planet Kubindi was located inside Hutt space, and obtaining hyperspace navigation technology might exacerbate local conflicts in the star region. Therefore, the Kubaz could only seek assistance from other super-corporations and conduct foreign trade through trade alliances and technology alliances.

Of course, due to the greed of the Technology Alliance and the Trade Alliance, the planet Kubindi has been in exploitation and poverty for a long time.

For a long time afterwards, the planet Kubindi was just a place famous for its delicious food. In addition to various foods, their main exports were large amounts of insect products.

However, later, after the Hutt Oruba-Gorensla took control of Hutt Space and proclaimed himself the Great Commander of the Hutts, the Kingdom of Dawn secretly helped Oruba-Gorensla develop industry.

After a comprehensive analysis by the Engineering Department and the Intelligence Department, Kubindi was selected as one of the areas for the development of the industrial zone. From the perspective of intelligence, from the Galactic Republic to the Galactic Empire, they did not care about Kubindi. The intelligence about Kubindi in the Imperial Intelligence Department was completely unencrypted and could be consulted at will. It was also intelligence from more than 60 years ago.

From an engineering perspective, thanks to the development of Dyson ring technology, the deadly environment of the planet Kubindi surrounding the blue giant has become an inexhaustible wealth.

The super energy enterprise of the Kingdom of Dawn, Solar Dynamics Energy Company, took over the development of the Kubindi planet. Under Jin Hao's organization, he gathered the most elite talents and built a huge star energy receiving device around the blue giant star of the Kubindi galaxy.

This device is far away from the stars and is essentially a huge space station with a diameter of 40 kilometers. It is home to a large number of permanent staff and engineering robots to facilitate construction and maintenance.

When necessary, the space station can use automated equipment to deploy one to twenty super solar sails with a diameter of more than 8000 kilometers to absorb huge amounts of stellar energy.

In addition, Solar Dynamics Energy has built five giant "umbrellas" for Kubindi. Each umbrella has a diameter of about 5 kilometers and is semi-transparent, which can further absorb stellar energy and filter out a large amount of stellar radiation.

And at the top of each "umbrella", there is a small space city, each with a population of about 10 people, which is the residential area for employees of Solar Dynamics Energy Company. Under the protection of the five umbrellas, the environment of about a quarter of the surface area of ​​Kubindi has been greatly improved. The local Kubaz people have also begun to gradually migrate their cities from underground to above ground and live a better life.

Under such circumstances, the Kubaz people can be said to be extremely grateful to the Kingdom of Dawn. Compared to the Galactic Republic, which did not even give them hyperspace navigation technology, the Kingdom of Dawn can be said to have given them a second life.

Then, when Solar Dynamics Energy began to build an interstellar dock and industrial base for the Hutts, they received all the help from the Kubaz. The Kubaz not only volunteered to join the project as a labor force, but also provided them with all the information about the underground mineral veins on the planet Kubindi from their long-term underground living and exploration.

A large amount of raw materials for the construction of industrial bases and interstellar docks were obtained on-site, further speeding up the construction period.

Therefore, about six years after the end of the Clone Wars, the industrial base on the planet Kubindi began to operate. The industrial base was built by the Solar Dynamics Energy Company and handed over to the Gorensla Industrial Engineering Company established by Oruba Gorensla for operation, which repaid the construction costs in installments by mortgaging production capacity.

The battleship Destruction underwent modernization in the interstellar dock on the planet Kubindi.

At this time, General Grievous naturally drove the damaged battleship Destroyer back to the planet Kubindi for repairs.

However, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse. Less than a week after the USS Destroyer entered the interstellar dock for repairs, the hyperspace outpost outside the planet Kubindi sent a message - a large-scale hyperspace jump fluctuation was detected!

This shocked General Grievous. His first reaction was that the secret industrial base on the planet Kubindi had been discovered by the Galactic Empire and was about to be attacked.

He urgently mobilized almost all of his forces to prepare for defense. The battleship Destruction was also urgently pulled out of the dock and entered combat mode.

The five huge "umbrellas" were also retracted and entered defense mode.

The enemy soon appeared, and it was the Eye of Palpatine! However, this time, the Eye of Palpatine did not bring an entire Galactic Empire fleet as General Grievous thought. On the contrary, around the Eye of Palpatine, there were only many civilian spacecraft or some small ships such as frigates.

But even so, facing the Eye of Palpatine, General Grievous immediately judged that he was no match at all!
Even though he owned more than 15 battleships, including 40 Typhoon-class battlecruisers, and hundreds of small and medium-sized warships, these warships were simply vulnerable in front of the Eye of Palpatine!
Moreover, they were not the ones who took the initiative to attack the border of the Galactic Empire. At that time, they could fight or run away as they pleased. However, now that their most important industrial base, the planet Kubindi, had been found, they could only fight head-on!
General Grievous had to order the battleship Destroyer to advance and prepare to minimize the damage to the planet Kubindi.

The Destroyer's Super Star Destroyer fired at Palpatine's Eye, missing twice and hitting once, but failing to destroy the opponent's powerful deflector shield.

And based on the last experience on the planet Kashyyyk, if the Destroyer enters the range of Palpatine's Eye, it will be destroyed within half an hour!
