2587: Everything is ready

"The original planet?" Gideon Tarkin frowned and walked over to check the intelligence data.

The intelligence showed that Kubindi was a relatively primitive planet, and because it orbited a blue giant star, stellar flares had a huge impact on the planet. Basically, electronic equipment on Kubindi would not survive more than a week in the face of such stellar flares.

Therefore, most of the cities on the planet Kubindi are built underground, and there is no very advanced level of technological development.

However, Kubindi is also unique in that there are many rare insects living in the underground environment. These insects have many species and various functions, and some can even be used as spices after being ground.

Therefore, the insect farming industry and unique insect cuisine on the planet Kubindi have a good reputation.

Then, the intelligence used a lot of space to introduce the fascinating underground restaurants on the planet Kubindi, which was simply a travel guide.

Gideon Tarkin was already starting to feel a little angry. He suppressed his anger and looked at the end of the intelligence. The mark on it was 47Brs! ! This was a simplified dating method of the previous Great Synchronization Calendar of the Galactic Republic. 0Brs was equivalent to 35BBY, which was 9 years before 26BBY.

And 47Brs is equivalent to 0Brs 47 years ago! So, this is intelligence from 73 years ago!!!
"Those bastards in the Intelligence Department!! Do they expect us to fight with intelligence from 73 years ago?! Bastards!!!" Gideon Tarkin cursed angrily.

The intelligence officer at the side looked at the intelligence and his face was a little ugly. However, he still defended, "The strategic value rating of Kubindi planet is the lowest in the intelligence database, so they should not take the initiative to collect intelligence on this planet."

"So now the Eye of Palpatine has gone to Kubindi! And before that, there was also a large-scale hyperspace fluctuation on Kubindi! This means that in addition to the Eye of Palpatine, there are other spaceships here! Now tell me, should our fleet immediately go to this completely unknown planet to see what it is doing, and then coordinate its actions?"

"This..." The intelligence officer lowered his head. In his heart, he kept cursing those intelligence agents who were just sitting there doing nothing, for such a mistake had happened!

Although in his understanding, he also felt that he was not wrong. Because this planet is really remote, and there are no resources, let alone a transportation hub, it has no possibility of development. If the Imperial Intelligence Agency really wastes manpower and intelligence resources on this planet, it would be a real dereliction of duty.

Gideon Tarkin once again fell into an anxious state. The feeling of powerlessness in his heart became more and more serious. He felt that the situation was completely out of his control.

Not only did the situation on the planet Dark take a sharp turn for the worse, but now Palpatine's Eye had already taken action, and he could only watch!

Because the planet Kubindi was very far away, his fleet also needed to go through the hyperspace channel provided by the Mon Calamari people and then make several jumps to reach there. The entire journey would take more than three days.

With no intelligence at all, taking one's main fleet to such a place would be tantamount to suicide!

"Have the nearest base send out a reconnaissance plane immediately! I need to know the current situation on the planet Kubindi right away! Hurry!" Gideon Tarkin almost roared at the intelligence officer.

"Yes... yes!" The intelligence officer nodded quickly in response and ran to make arrangements.

Gideon Tarkin was stunned for a moment as he looked at the holographic star map. After a long while, he let out a long sigh.

…Meanwhile, on the planet Kubindi.

This place is not an insect breeding center or a gourmet planet. The current Kubindi planet is an industrial planet that has been initially developed and has built a large number of orbital defense systems.

At the same time, a huge fleet has already set up an indestructible line of defense in the outer space of the planet, relying on a large number of Gauss weapon platforms, stealth hangar platforms and other defense facilities!

The current planet Kubindi is a steel fortress planet!

Lin Nanyi stood in the bridge command center of the flagship Apollo-class battleship. His mentality was completely different from when he first arrived.

He has put aside his previous pride and complacency and is now cautious towards his current opponents.

General Grievous's series of arrangements, coupled with the current development of the situation in all aspects, all indicate that if he had rushed to the planet Targon and fought a decisive battle with Palpatine's Eye as originally planned, he would be a corpse now.

Now that General Grievous had almost burned his life to create such a favorable situation for him, he could not make any more mistakes.

Lin Nanyiyi deployed his defense line very carefully, and also made targeted responses to the combat methods and weapon system layout of the Eye of Palpatine left by General Grievous.

In response to the powerful super-focused laser system of the Eye of Palpatine, he developed a tactic of harassing with drone swarms from Praetor-class aircraft carriers.

Use a large number of Swarm II drones to disrupt the actions of Palpatine's Eye, and then destroy it with superior long-range firepower.

But that's not enough. Once the drone group's defense line is breached, the next step is for high-speed warships, mainly light cruisers, to make a detour. These warships do not fight head-on, but use flexible maneuvers to go around the back of Palpatine's Eye during the battle, avoiding the opponent's main guns and attacking the engine.

The irregular shape of the Eye of Palpatine also has a fatal weakness - that is, the firepower distribution is extremely uneven, and it cannot completely cover all the airspace around the battleship. Taking advantage of this, there will be more room for development.

Then there is the third line of defense.

Lin Nanyi vacated five Hell Angels-class battlecruisers and replaced all the crew members with B-1 combat robots. If the Eye of Palpatine continued to break through, these Hell Angels-class battlecruisers would push forward and use their bodies to block the opponent's advance.

And at the end, there are five Revelation-class battleships, including his flagship! At the same time, the wreckage of the USS Destruction is also here, and it will be the primary target of the Eye of Palpatine. A huge amount of antimatter bombs have been installed in the wreckage, and as long as the Eye of Palpatine approaches, it will explode immediately!
Around the heavy defense lines, Lin Nanyi divided his fleet into four parts and arranged them in a claw shape. Once the battle started, he would attack the flanks from four directions to avoid the super-focused laser of the Eye of Palpatine!
The battle preparations have been completed, and all we have to do is wait for the target to arrive!

Lin Nanyi took a deep breath, checked his defense line again and again, and explained the tactical arrangements of the blocking battle to his captains. In the previous few days, he also organized several tactical exercises to ensure that the combat process was foolproof.

As he was feeling anxious, a technician from the sensor department sent a message, "Large-scale hyperspace fluctuations detected! Estimated contact time: 30 minutes!!"
