Although the Fourth Civilization's fanfare in the Western Theater has made the 19th Legion of the Republic extremely nervous, Governor Suramar asked the Republic for help almost three times a day, but in fact, the Fourth Civilization is already on the defensive here, and their eyes have already turned to elsewhere.
On June 15th, the Core Worlds of the Galaxy, Sarapin.
This is a Volcanic Planet, and the entire Planet is violently erupting hot lava almost all the time, so this Planet has been transformed into an Energy Planet.
Hundreds of Power Generation Facilities have been built. These Power Generation Facilities are only 40 meters high on the ground, but they can reach a depth of tens of thousands of meters underground. Encapsulated and stored in a huge Energy Pool on the Planet.
Since most of the Planets in the Core Worlds of the Galaxy have been thoroughly developed, those aristocrats who have earned a lot of money have naturally begun to pay attention to the ecological environment of their Homeworlds, some industries that cause environmental damage and pollution need to be cleaned up.
Therefore, Sarapin has naturally become one of the most important Energy Supply places for Planets in the Inner Rim and Core Worlds.
Naturally, it is also closely guarded.
In addition to the permanent Defense Force of 100,000 Soldiers, two layers of Planetary Shields were installed on Sarapin. When the Planetary Shields are turned on, they can withstand almost any attack, and no Spaceships or Warships can enter them.
The Power Relay Station for the Planetary Shields was installed on an Asteroid orbiting Sarapin. This Asteroid was code-named Asteroid 426, and it was also heavily guarded by the Galactic Republic.
Although the Galaxy has become a mess, the Confederacy of Independent Systems launched an attack immediately after declaring independence and took advantage of the fact that the Clone Army of the Galactic Republic was trapped on Geonosis and occupied more than a dozen Systems, letting the flames of war spread rapidly.
However, no one ever thought that the battle would burn into the Inner Rim.
What's more, it is Sarapin that is far away from every Hyperspace Lane.
When a large white light suddenly appeared in the Outer Space of the Sarapin System, the Galactic Republic discovered that its so-called safety had never been truly safe!
A Confederacy of Independent Systems Fleet composed of Blue and White Battleships has suddenly come to the Sarapin System! A Fleet of 3 Providence-class Destroyers, 10 Munificent-class Frigates, a Squad of Confederacy Cruisers, 3 Revelation-class Light Cruisers, and 10 Assault-class Light Destroyers escorted 50 Diamond-class Cruisers here!
No one knows how this Fleet escaped the Hyperspace Outpost set up by the Galactic Republic, but they have no time to think about it because the Fleet of the Confederacy of Independent Systems has already launched an attack on the Defensive Space Station on the periphery of Asteroid 426. Deadly Turbolasers instantly fired!
"Asteroid 426 on the outskirts of Sarapin encountered a Separatist Fleet!!" The news immediately spread to the Supreme Strategic Command of the Galactic Republic, which stunned everyone who was working intensely!
"How the hell did they do it?"
"Immediately sort out the deployment of the Fleet! Send reinforcements!"
"Where is the nearest Fleet?"
"In the Core Worlds, Balmorra and Neimoidia, 7 Hyperspace Jumps away from Sarapin... Our Fleet is confronting the Trade Federation's Defense Fleet over there!"
"The Fleets around the Planets that have joined the Separatist Core Circle cannot move lightly, otherwise the Separatists from those Planets will immediately threaten the Core Worlds."
"If this is the case, our nearest Fleet is the Inner Rim! There is no stable Hyperspace Lane near Sarapin, and it will take... 21 Galactic Standard Hours for our Fleet to reach there..."
"It's too late! Call Kuat immediately and ask them to send some Planetary Defense Fleets to help!"
"...Kuat Drive Yards rejected our request on behalf of Kuat!"
"These bastards only know how to suck blood!!"
"Hurry up and report to Your Excellency the Supreme Chancellor! The matter is no small matter! If the Separatist Fleet can appear on Sarapin, then it may also appear on Coruscant! We need to start the Emergency Asylum Procedure immediately!"
When the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic, Sheev Palpatine, received the news, his complexion suddenly sank.
Even he couldn't imagine that someone would be so bold and dare to raid the Core Worlds of the Galaxy, not only that but they actually did it!!
You know, after the Separatism broke out suddenly and announced the establishment of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, including Balmorra, Neimoidia, Skako, the planet Cato Neimoidia, etc., in the Core Worlds of the Galaxy belonged to the Trade Federation, and other Super-Enterprises such as the Corporate Alliance and the Interstellar Banking Clan, which have also joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems one after another, becoming the nail in the heart of the Galactic Republic.
With the background of the Galactic Republic, a large number of Fleets were immediately sent to surround these Planets, making these Planets unable to do anything.
In addition, the Wars in the entire Galaxy are basically concentrated in the Outer Rim and Middle Rim, and the forces of Separatism cannot even enter the Inner Rim. This also allowed the Galactic Republic to have enough strategic depth to prepare itself for the formation of an unprecedentedly large Army by trading space for time.
But now, someone can directly raid the Core Worlds! The meaning is completely different!
This will mean that the Galactic Republic will no longer have any strategic rear, and those crucial Industrial Planets and Resource Planets will no longer be safe!
"I will not leave here." Sheev Palpatine said slowly, "This is my battlefield. If one day, Separatism burns the flames of war here, then I will also take up arms and fight to the end."
The Officer in front of him was awe-inspiring, but he still wanted to persuade, "Your Excellency, but no matter what, if your safety is threatened, no one can continue to lead us to fight against the Separatists!"
"Then completely eliminate the threat of Separatism in Sarapin!" Palpatine said firmly, "Master Yoda and Master Windu, please come here. At this critical moment, we need the power of the Jedi Knights more than ever."
"Yes!!"
After the Officer left, Palpatine's face immediately became extremely gloomy. The Confederacy of Independent Systems actually has such talents who can launch such a dangerous raid...
This person must not stay!
