From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 512 "Support!!! Where is the support?!"

In Scarif's low-Earth orbit, the battle situation has become completely "white-hot".

Although the two Paris-class and one Stealth-class ships of the Main Universe Empire cannot compare with the nearly two-kilometer-long Star Destroyer of the Galactic Empire in terms of battleship size, they are rapidly exerting their speed and tactical advantages to the extreme with their excellent maneuverability, outstanding firepower and extraordinary flexibility, and have almost occupied all "air supremacy".

The key to all this is that they can accurately control the situation and force the enemy into a passive position.

The Paris-class and Stealth-class, with their superior maneuverability, shuttle and conduct guerrilla warfare in the complex universe like three nimble "falcons".

Although the Galactic Empire's Star Destroyer seems huge and sturdy, and even has amazing firepower and defense in the Star Wars universe, it obviously cannot show its due advantages in the face of the flexible main universe empire fleet.

Its huge size and heavy structure make it "slow to react" in terms of high-speed maneuverability and flexible deployment compared to the Paris-class and Stealth-class, like a behemoth struggling hard in a dense battlefield.

What is most fatal is that the internal situation of the Star Destroyer is also chaotic.

After three Thousand Sons tactical teams boarded the Star Destroyer, the crew faced double pressure from both inside and outside.

In order to deal with the continuous "erosion" of the Thousand Sons, the crew was completely unable to concentrate on formulating an effective counterattack strategy, let alone how to deal with the small fleet of the Main Universe Empire.

The operation of the entire Star Destroyer was full of loopholes, and the crew was busy protecting themselves, leaving them no room for counterattack.

At the same time, the TIE fighters and TIE bombers sent by the Galactic Empire were vulnerable.

All types of TIE fighters were unable to exert any advantages when facing the main space carrier-based aircraft formation.

The carrier-based aircraft formation composed of Ghosts, White-legged Falcons and unmanned attack aircraft also relied on their ultra-high speed and maneuverability, coupled with precise locking and beyond-visual-range combat capabilities, to almost absolutely crush the TIE fighter.

The TIE fighters wanted to engage in a dogfight with the carrier-based aircraft formation, but how could the Ghost and the White-legged Falcon abandon their own advantages and engage in close combat with the TIE fighters?
Therefore, before the pilots of the TIE fighters could detect the target on the radar, they were already locked and hit by the air-to-air missiles, and then turned into dazzling balls of fire along with their vehicles.

As for sending TIE bombers carrying proton torpedoes, the intention is to try to "reverse the situation" by taking the risk of approaching the Paris-class and Stealth-class.
They will face an overwhelming barrage of interception attacks, and will not be able to get close at all.

In addition, due to the ship-borne electronic interference, even if some of the "fish that slipped through the net" relied on the pilots' superb skills and great luck to barely avoid the deadly barrage of TIE bombers, their electronic equipment would be directly "destroyed".

Key equipment such as radar, navigation system and control module failed instantly, and the TIE bomber became like a piece of space junk that had lost its direction, no longer able to maintain any effective combat capability.

The electronic equipment was completely paralyzed, the fighter's control system was locked, and the surviving pilots became "caged ghosts" who had no control over their own destiny.

Even though the pilots did not give up and still held the joysticks tightly, the bombers, which had become scrap metal, still floated aimlessly in the universe and were swallowed by the darkness.

However, the main universe's fleet will not give up these precious "resources" easily.

Once the Paris-class and Stealth-class find these "slippery fish", they will immediately release recovery hunters to quickly approach the out-of-control TIE bombers and then firmly grasp them with powerful grappling claws and magnetic fields.

Then, they can return to the mothership's hangar with these scrap bombers, and the entire recovery process is extremely precise.

As for why it should be recycled——

First, after being repaired by the ground and logistics teams, they can still be used and become the "screws" and "nuts" of the main universe empire.

Second, for those pilots, a turning point in fate also came quietly.

Although they are very likely to be regarded as losers or even abandoned pawns in their original camps, in the eyes of the main universe, they are still an indispensable and precious resource.

Being able to barely dodge the interception net of the close-in defense artillery array shows that the pilots' survivability, combat experience, and even extraordinary luck cannot be measured by simple numerical values.

The main universe naturally hopes to lure these people over from the enemy camp and recruit them.

Next, they will be sent to the "personnel department" of the 1st Company of the Thousand Sons to undergo ideological transformation courses.

In the ideological transformation and education program, they not only have to undergo more rigorous training, but also have to learn the empire's ideas and re-examine the beliefs they represent.

Through this kind of "education", these former enemies, especially those who are fellow humans, will be gradually reshaped and integrated into the system of the main universe, becoming loyal warriors and continuing to serve the human empire.

You know, even though modern technology has reached unimaginable heights, pilots are still a more precious "resource" than any aerial vehicle.

Their skills, experience, reaction ability and the subtle luck between life and death are irreplaceable by any war machine.
Of course, this does not include machines with "souls".

More than that.

As the battle for orbital control intensified and drew to a close, a transport-type Pelican with an extended fuselage, also carrying a strike team, quickly ejected from the Paris-class hangar.

Inside the cabin of the Pelican, there was a heavily-armored Tyrant on standby, as well as five elite veterans, ten Hell Paratroopers, and thirty heavily-armored clone soldiers who were also on standby.

Following closely behind was an escort formation consisting of a White-legged Falcon fighter and six drones, which were used to provide cover for the assault team and launch a breakthrough.

This team's target is the space station responsible for Scarif's shield.

Although the space station has entered a state of full defense at this moment, and various fixed artillery are continuously pouring out explosive beams, this "little" interception firepower is not as good as the interception network formed by a group of titanium fighters, and it is even more incomparable with the close-in defense artillery array of the main universe.

Even when dealing with this assault formation, the space station's response seemed unusually slow and could not effectively pose a threat.
There is no way. Most of the fixed artillery in the space station are manually controlled, and naturally cannot perform automatic scanning and search for enemies like the close-in defense guns with intelligent assistance.

Moreover, the TIE fighter fleet had already been suppressed by the Paris-class and Stealth-class and was almost completely wiped out, making the defense of the space station particularly vulnerable.

Therefore, the two pilots of the Pelican had almost no chance to display their skills to the limit. Relying on the speed of the aircraft and the cover of the escort formation, they easily penetrated the weak firepower network and approached the space station hangar unhindered.

Immediately afterwards, the Pelican easily passed through the plasma valve and entered the interior of the space station hangar.

?

!!!

Faced with the sudden intrusion of uninvited guests, the Imperial ground crew in the hangar had no time to adjust the valve to "exit only, no entry" or completely close mode.

The combined fleet of the Thousand Sons 1st Company and the Investigation Department had already launched a fierce electronic jamming campaign against Scarif's command system, causing the entire command system to be completely paralyzed. Even though the control room of the space station was aware of the assault formation's intention, there was still a significant delay in the relevant orders and instructions issued.

Even if the ground crew in the hangar was reminded, it was too late.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the transport Pelican opened the hatch at its rear.

Step, step!

Then, twenty clone troopers rushed out of the cabin first.

These biological weapons are wearing heavy tactical armor and equipped with full-coverage mechanical skeletons to further enhance their strength and speed, and they hold large-caliber Gauss guns in their hands.

"Team 1, provide suppressive fire at the ten o'clock direction.

Team 2, take out the stormtrooper sentry at the three o'clock position.

The remaining units will provide cover and build defensive positions."

The clone commander, whose helmet is painted red, issues clear and powerful commands, and his uniquely calm nasal voice makes him sound even more intimidating.

As the order came out, all the clone soldiers quickly dispersed and took the best combat posture.

The most important thing is that each unit has demonstrated extraordinary tacit understanding and execution. They will independently choose the best position and shooting angle, and use long and short bursts of firepower to suppress and accurately kill the Imperial Stormtroopers who are still in a confused state.

The clone series "products" are no longer the same as the original versions.

After more than a decade of iteration and upgrading, their thinking logic is no longer limited to mechanical and rigid reactions, but they have a complete tactical mind and the ability to respond flexibly.

They are not only "high-end cannon fodder", but also "warriors" who can make quick tactical adjustments under extreme pressure.

Although their intelligence is not as good as that of stupid AI or more "anthropomorphic" synthetic humans, the combat effectiveness they demonstrate is almost unmatched if compared horizontally.

Even elite veterans and Hell's Paratroopers cannot guarantee that they can easily defeat an equal number of clone soldiers.

Moreover, the advantages of clones have always been reflected in low cost and high efficiency. Although they are relatively weak in other aspects, such as intelligence processing and emotional understanding, they are tireless, have no sense of pain, and always execute orders until the end of the battle.

So the moment the thirty clones poured out of the Pelican's cabin, they formed an absolute fire suppression on the stormtroopers stationed in the space station's hangar.

After the heavy-armored tyrant also knelt and climbed out of the cabin, he picked up the rotating Gauss machine gun with both hands.
The stormtroopers stationed in the hangar had completely lost their ability to fight back.

The five elite veterans and ten Hell Paratroopers, with the cover of these biological weapons, began to advance towards the control room of the space station.

Once they seize control of the space station, the Paris-class and Stealth-class will be able to provide better fire support for the main force that airdrops to the surface of Scarif.

At this moment, the surface of Scarif was also engulfed in war.

Airdrop pods of various types are scattered on the beaches and rainforests with a tropical climate similar to that of Earth.

Ta-ta-ta-ta!
Clang—clang—

Boom. Boom! ! !
Under the shield's sky, the deafening sound of gunfire and explosions intertwined, tearing the silence of the air and bringing an inescapable breath of death to the Galactic Empire.

Looking down from above, one can see that the elite veterans, Hell Paratroopers, and Thousand Sons who were airdropped here are sweeping the defense lines stationed near the security complex in extremely skilled tactical formations.

Especially, every step taken by the Thousand Sons seemed to add a new touch of blood to the blood-stained beach.

The Luna transport and the Silver Gull, which completed the transport mission, also provided fire cover for the main force, dealing with the TIE fighter groups and the Galactic Empire's large ground vehicles, such as the AT-AT walker.

In addition, the battle mechas that descended to the surface with the main force, as well as the Astartes-exclusive armored units piloted by the Thousand Sons, the Achilles Assault Tanks, or Land Raider Achilles, began to slowly advance towards the main gate of the security complex.

Ri~bang bang bang——!!!
As the Randall Raider tank's four-barreled rotary bolter cannon opened fire, the violent roar once again resounded throughout the battlefield.

The barrage of suppressive fire poured down like a violent storm, instantly tearing apart the Imperial Stormtroopers' defenses.

In addition, each 4-bolt shell will delay detonation after hitting the target.

Boom! Boom! Boom!
Then, with a series of dull explosions, miniature sun-like flames "rose" at the main entrance of the security complex, followed by the formation of small mushroom clouds.

The flames and thick smoke billowing in the sky were simply a doomsday scene for the Galactic Empire.

Moreover, the vibrations of the explosion produced powerful air waves and shocks, shaking everything around.

The stormtroopers who had just rushed out of the facility and were about to provide support were instantly blown away like pieces of paper, their bodies flying dozens of meters across.

What scares the stormtroopers and even Orson Krennic the most is a giant holding a war hammer.
That was the Captain of the 1st Company of the Thousand Sons, Gabriel Angelos, who was on the rampage, leading twenty company guards and was the first to rush into the main building of the complex.

"."

This made Krennic, who was in the control room of the main building, stare at the screen in front of him in amazement.

It was hard for him to imagine how those giants, who were over two meters tall and looked extremely clumsy, could move so fast and tear through the defense so easily?
The most important thing is that Gabriel, holding a war hammer, can actually raise his hand to release "lightning"? ? ! !

Could it be a Jedi Knight from the Rebel Alliance?

its not right.
This is impossible.
Even if they are Jedi, why do they wear power armor? ?

Krennic was puzzled, but the next second, he shouted at everyone around him at the top of his lungs:
"Support!!! Where is the support?!"
