The giant corporations that started in Night City

"The tactics of these Imperial Army are really crude and direct. They started to fight us with firepower right away."

The Master Chief looked at the fierce naval battle scene in front of him and couldn't help but comment that the Imperial Army's tactics were too backward. If it were the troops of the Universal Corporation, they would definitely use multiple arms to cooperate with each other.

We should complete the ship capture and boarding as soon as possible.

Paul frowned and stared at the Destroyer and the Executor firing laser cannons at each other without saying a word.

The flagships on both sides activated all the turbo laser cannons. The dense laser barrage kept interweaving and shuttling between the two super star destroyers, consuming each other's shield force fields.

"Concentrate all the shield energy on the side facing the Executor and hit it hard!"

Paul gritted his teeth and ordered the AI ​​Red Queen to die with the Executor. He did this to break out of the encirclement as soon as possible and stop the Death Star from advancing.

With the Executor blocking them, they couldn't get through without knocking over this troublesome guy.

[Yes. ]

As Paul's order was passed down, the Destroyer quickly pointed its arrow-shaped bow at the Executor and made a gesture ready to go.

Admiral Ozzel, the commander of the Executor, was obviously shocked by Paul's fierceness and couldn't think of any way to deal with it for a while.

Darth Vader is now accompanying Emperor Palpatine on the Death Star. This super flagship is not under Vader's management. Ozzel doesn't want to die with the Destroyer.

In this case, even if he can survive by chance, Darth Vader will definitely not let him go easily afterwards.

After thinking about it, Ozzel can only order the Executor to make an emergency evasion and try to avoid the warships of both sides from colliding with each other.

And this is exactly what Paul wants to see. If the Executor doesn't dare to fight with him, then the surrounding Imperial Star Destroyers will naturally not be able to stop the impact of the Destroyer.

Once the gap is opened, it will be a sea wide for fish to leap!

"Take advantage of now! Break out immediately, target the Death Star, and move forward quickly!"

Paul's eyes lit up. The bow of the Destroyer was like a sharp blade, directly cutting through the encirclement of the Imperial Army. During this period, the Imperial Star Destroyers that wanted to block it were all easily knocked over by the Destroyer.

The Executor's temporary shrinkage allowed Paul to leave the encirclement as he wished and headed straight for the Death Star.

However, in the process of breaking out of the encirclement, the shield force field of the Destroyer also carried too much excessive bombardment and began to be unable to support it.

After the Executor avoided the impact of the Destroyer at the limit, it also turned around and chased after it like a beast biting its prey.

Ozer didn't dare to let the Executor and the Destroyer collide, but he didn't dare to let Paul rush to the Death Star so openly.

Otherwise, Darth Vader would not let him go.

Here, the Destroyer, which had finally escaped death, was enduring the laser cannon attack from behind while rushing towards the location of the Death Star at full speed.

Paul's idea was very simple, that is, to let this battered Destroyer exert its last bit of residual heat and perish together with the Death Star!

A mobile combat space station as big as the Death Star is difficult to be as flexible as a battleship. Once it is locked, it is almost impossible to avoid the impact of the Destroyer.

"Pull all the speed to the maximum, don't stop for a moment!"

In order to reduce the weight of the Destroyer as much as possible, Paul ordered the AI ​​Red Queen to throw out all the carrier-based aircraft in the hangar and the heavy objects in the inner cabin of the living area.

At this time, the shield force field of the Destroyer had been completely broken, and countless artillery fire fell on this battered battleship, setting off countless flames.

The Destroyer was like a burning arrow, rushing towards the Death Star.

"Everyone get ready, we will soon collide with the Death Star, each find a good cover!"

Paul warned his companions around him.

After learning this horrible news, C-3PO robot was so scared that he ran away, running back and forth on the bridge, trying to find a suitable shelter.

"We are going to be finished!"

Seeing this, K-2SO waved his hand calmly: "Calm down, okay? We are robots. As long as we leave some parts and reassemble them, we will be safe."

"You say it lightly, I don't want to be assembled with other garbage parts!" C-3PO cursed. He had experienced this taste and it was very uncomfortable.

No matter what the people present thought, Paul had to drive the ship to crash into the Death Star in order to get rid of the pursuit of the Imperial Fleet and stop the Death Star from exploding.

This is their only chance.

Boom--! !

As a main gun of the Executor fell, the engine of the Destroyer was also destroyed, but under the huge inertia, the Destroyer was still rushing towards the Death Star.

Even the operators of the Death Star had already reacted and fired at the Destroyer with the turbo laser cannons scattered throughout the space station, trying to smash the Destroyer before the impact.

But unfortunately, because the Death Star's super laser cannon was aimed at the Yavin IV satellite, most of the turbo laser cannons had no time to charge.

Although some laser cannons caused damage to the Destroyer, they still could not stop the Destroyer's impact.

"Here it comes!!"

In the end, the tip of the Destroyer's bow pierced the outer surface of the Death Star fiercely, and the huge kinetic energy impact made all the external armor and shield defenses of the Death Star seem useless.

The 20-kilometer-long super Star Destroyer was like a sharp knife thrust into the battle space station with a diameter of 160 kilometers, and the entire Yavin galaxy battlefield was in chaos.

Broken hull fragments and Death Star wreckage flew around, affecting several small Imperial frigates.

This epic space battle left everyone stunned. More than half of the Destroyer's hull was inserted into the Death Star.

The two celestial-level behemoths were severely distorted and deformed when they collided with each other. The bow of the Destroyer was completely flattened and became a bare piece.

The Death Star was also severely damaged in this impact. At least at this stage, the Death Star was dragging a 20-kilometer-long burden and was unable to move forward.

The Rebel pilots, who were constantly dealing with the Death Star, were shocked beyond measure.

They really didn't expect that Paul and his team would use such a tragic method to save the lives of members of the Rebel Alliance.

"May the Force protect them."

Watching the Death Star and the Destroyer merge together, the Rebel pilots could only pray for Paul and others. After such a breakout and impact, it would be difficult for any survivors to survive.

Under normal circumstances, under such a violent impact, it is basically certain that everyone on the bridge will be dead.

After all, this move is indeed aimed at killing both parties.

But before the impact, Paul had already called everyone to the hangar, and worked with Luke Skywalker to create dual protections of the Force Shield and the Bubble Shield.

Only then could they barely withstand such a strong impact, and everyone could survive the violent shock that lasted for several minutes.

"Are we actually still alive?"

Captain Cassian touched the limbs that were not broken, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He definitely didn't want to go through such a crazy mission again.

"We have to get out of here quickly and enter the interior of the Death Star before the Imperial Stormtroopers react!"

As Paul spoke, he and Luke used lightsabers to cut through the hull of the ship, took everyone away from the Destroyer, and slipped into the complex passages of the Death Star.

This is perhaps the most hard-core gang-hopping tactic that Paul has implemented since his debut. He first uses a battleship to forcefully land on the enemy's ship, and then jumps into the opponent's ship.

As long as Paul lacks a Force warrior beside him, he would not dare to play like this. After all, with the huge inertial impact of the Destroyer, the shock they will endure will last for about 10 minutes.

Throw a few people into an iron box and sway desperately for ten minutes. No matter how hard the copper skin and iron bones are, they will completely fall apart and be scrapped.

"Very good. It seems that we just escaped from the hungry wolf and immediately jumped into the evil tiger's lair."

The C-3PO robot chattered beside him: "Tell me what we should do next."

"Are you going to continue to seize control of the Death Star and turn around to knock over the Executor on the opposite side?"

Obviously, the C-3PO robot still has some opinions on Paul's approach, but he has to admit that this method does work.

At least they did break out of the encirclement and intercepted the Death Star, buying the Rebel Alliance on Yavin 4 valuable time to retreat.

"Stop talking, it's already a miracle that we can survive." Luke said with lingering fear. Using the Force shield just now seemed to have hollowed himself out.

At this moment, the Death Star's advance process was indeed suspended. Before the wreckage of the Destroyer's hull was cleared, it could only stay in place, basically unable to move.

Judging from the current situation, even if the imperial engineers conduct rescue repairs one after another, it will take at least two or three days.

What Paul has to do next is to wait patiently for the arrival of David Martinez's expeditionary force and Starkiller Base to launch the final fatal blow to the Death Star!

"Everyone, let's rest here for a while and wait until you recover your strength before continuing."

Paul looked at the exhausted people and knew that they were already at the end of their strength. Taking advantage of the time now, they should seize the rest before facing the final moment of the decisive battle.

After hearing what Paul said, Captain Cassian, Jyn Erso and others immediately collapsed to the ground, dragging their heavy and tired bodies to fall asleep quickly.

The successive moments of life and death consumed too much of their energy.

Paul, with the help of the small flat-headed robot he carried with him, began to implant the AI ​​Red Queen virus into the Death Star. He decided to find out the passage route here first.

Then think of ways to perform subsequent tasks.

While Paul and his team were resting, the Imperial fleet outside was also busy dismantling and bombing the remaining parts of the Destroyer's hull.

A large number of engineering maintenance personnel were constantly dismantling the wreckage of the Destroyer and repairing the damaged areas of the Death Star, hoping to restore the Death Star's mobility as soon as possible.

In short, the Imperial Army at this moment is definitely unable to destroy the Yavin 4 satellite. Relying solely on the Executor's orbital bombardment is a waste of time and energy.

Now, they can only focus on repairing the Death Star. As for the Rebel Alliance, the rebels only need to continue to block the passage of this galaxy.

As long as these rebels are not allowed to escape, the Imperial Army will have plenty of time and effort to deal with them!

After a period of recuperation, Paul and his team took advantage of the chaos to sneak deep into the Death Star.

Halfway through, Chirrut frowned and reminded everyone: "I can sense the force of Darth Vader and Palpatine."

"Their strength is far superior to mine. They must have noticed our traces!"

Chirrut's words made everyone present feel depressed, and Captain Cassian was so shocked that his pupils shrank, "What? Then wouldn't we be throwing ourselves into a trap by doing this?"

Two ruthless characters who are masters of the dark force are here, but they still sneak into each other's lair without knowing whether to live or die. Now they are really in danger!

Originally, Cassian was counting on them being able to destroy the Death Star internally, and maybe there would still be a glimmer of hope, but as a result, two Sith Lords were sitting here.

Even with their small manpower, it is not enough to fight others!

"What should we do now? There are Imperial Stormtroopers everywhere outside, and there is no way to escape."

Jyn Erso looked at Paul anxiously. If they couldn't even sneak into the Death Star and destroy the Death Star device, then the Rebel Alliance would still be unable to escape the disaster!

Just when everyone felt a sense of despair, Paul suddenly heard the notification voice from Johnny Silverhand on the internal channel. It turned out that a large force of the world's giants had arrived in the Yavin system.

"Don't worry, our reinforcements have arrived now, and they also have the ultimate weapon that is no less than the Death Star!"

Paul smiled confidently. He turned his head and looked outside through the nearby porthole. In the dark star field of deep space, he saw a snow-white planet emerging from the hyperspace tunnel and emerging into space.

That is the latest ultimate weapon from the world's giants - Starkiller Base!

The real Star Wars has just begun.

When Starkiller Base slowly emerged from hyperspace, both the Imperial Army and the Rebel Alliance were shocked.

The diameter of Starkiller Base reaches an astonishing 660 kilometers, more than four times the size of the Death Star. The most conspicuous device on it is the ultimate cannon that penetrates the center of the earth.

When he saw a Death Star Plus version of a celestial-level weapon device descending on this space star field, Emperor Palpatine immediately patted the guardrail in front of him in anger.

"What the hell is this? How can it be so similar to our Death Star!"

Palpatine stared at the large Death Star weapon in front of him, confused and jealous at the same time. He could not imagine any force in the galaxy that could build a battle space station larger than the Death Star.

The intelligence officer below looked at the Starkiller Base carefully, then twitched the corners of his mouth and explained to Palpatine reluctantly:

"Your Majesty, this is an upgraded version of the Death Star that has not yet been developed - Starkiller Base. But this ultimate weapon has obviously not been officially developed yet, so how can it be manufactured!"

At this moment, the empire's engineers, scientists, and many intelligence personnel felt that the sky was falling. The ultimate weapon they had been pursuing so hard was actually built by the enemy first.

"What a bunch of losers who fail to accomplish anything but fail more than they should. It must be the data leakage on Scarif that caused the enemy to obtain information about Starkiller Base!"

Palpatine was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead. With a flick of his hand, he instantly pinned one of the Intelligence Department officers to the wall.

The powerful Force pressure crushed the officer's head in an instant.

It's no wonder that Palpatine felt so angry. After all, only half a year had passed since the Battle of Scarif, and the enemy had built a Starkiller base.

And their intelligence department didn't receive any news at all!

You know, the trade alliances in the entire galaxy, whether they are white or underworld, the transportation of raw materials is basically inseparable from the empire's eyes.

Any rebellious traitor who plans to build a warship or a large-scale production base in private will definitely be noticed by the Empire's Intelligence Department.

As a result, so many days have passed, and the enemy is driving Starkiller Base to show off, and their intelligence department still knows nothing about it. Is this incompetence or something!

However, this officer from the Intelligence Department was indeed wronged.

There were no omissions or errors in the information he collected. In the plane of the "Star Wars" universe, there is no production base that can build such a huge behemoth.

Even if it was really being made, it would consume a lot of materials, Kyber crystals and corresponding raw materials, but they did not collect relevant information.

If you want to build a Starkiller base in such a short period of time, you must have a strong enough industrial production system.

But even the Galactic Empire must go all out to build the first Starkiller Base.

That will take at least more than a year!

Therefore, no one knows the origin of the Starkiller Base that appeared out of thin air in front of them.

Faced with the ultimate weapon that emerged halfway, the senior officials at the Death Star headquarters felt at a loss.

They have long been accustomed to using the Death Star to perform dimensionality reduction strikes, and now they suddenly have to fight against a large Death Star that is more than four times the size of the Death Star. They feel a little frightened.

In the end, it was Palpatine who made the final decision and ordered to his subordinates: "Fire the entire reactor and blow up that fake Starkiller Base product for me!"

Palpatine quickly realized that this might be a trick by the Rebel Alliance, and that Starkiller Base might just be a semi-finished product with no destructive power at all.

Of course, more importantly, the Death Star was hit by the Destroyer driven by Paul, and it couldn't escape for a while. When two brave men meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. Even if they are unsure, they can only fight against each other.

As the super laser cannon entered the charging stage, the surface of the Death Star also glowed with a dark green light, like a gloomy netherworld star.

Although the Death Star was completely blown up by the Starkiller Base in terms of size, Palpatine was still very confident in the destructive power of his ultimate weapon.

Before this, the Death Star had destroyed many planets such as Jedha, Hollande, and Scarif in succession. Now there is nothing to worry about with a larger Starkiller Base.

'I don't believe it. Apart from the Empire, which other forces can build an ultimate weapon like the Death Star! '

Palpatine said in his heart.

He was betting.

He bet that the Trade Federation could not unite with the Rebel Alliance to build a Starkiller Base that is more powerful than the Death Star in just a few months.

This is not common sense.

That Starkiller of unknown origin must be a fake!

However, what surprised Palpatine was that facing the super laser cannon of the Death Star, the Starkiller had no intention of dodging at all.

Instead, it began to adjust its direction and aimed its cannon at the Death Star, which was quite like a sniper in the middle.

"You didn't choose to escape, but took the initiative to fight us!"

At this moment, Palpatine gritted his teeth. Facing such a confident and determined enemy Starkiller, he began to have an ominous premonition in his heart.

If he made a wrong bet, even if the opponent's Death Star was a fake, it only had half the power of his original Death Star.

Then they would still suffer heavy casualties, or even perish together with the opponent!

...

At this moment, in the command center of the Starkiller Base, a giant hologram spread across the headquarters. This was a simulation of the Yavin galaxy, and the entire image encompassed the entire slightly reduced space of the star system.

In the center of the hologram, senior officers of the various departments of the giant enterprise, led by Johnny Silverhand, are commanding all the work processes in an orderly manner.

In fact, with the attack range of Starkiller Base, there is no need to come here specifically to play boring bombardment games with the Death Star.

Johnny Silverhand can completely hide in the outer periphery of the Yavin system and fire a fierce shot at the location of the Death Star, making the Imperial Army confused.

But doing so will not reflect the strength of Starkiller Base. Being stabbed to death by a secret plot and being defeated head-on have completely different effects of conquest.

Now that the Universal Corporation has an absolute advantage, playing a round of fancy war performances in the decisive battle field can also leave a strong impression on everyone.

"Shouldn't we try to surrender the Imperial Army first?" Galen Erso asked.

As the designer of Starkiller Base, he knows how terrifying the destructive power of this thing is.

One round of bombardment can completely destroy the entire Yavin star system. Even if they deliberately reduce the power, it is definitely more than enough to destroy the Death Star with one shot.

More importantly, Paul and the others are still inside the Death Star. Are they going to be buried with Palpatine?

Johnny Silverhand shook his head. The Universal Corporation has paid too much for this day. Even if Paul is inside the Death Star, even if V is inside the Death Star, he still has to fire this shot.

Besides, if there is no victory or defeat on the battlefield, the Galactic Empire will not be able to calmly discuss with the Universal Corporation at the negotiation table.

"We will adjust the power of the Starkiller to an appropriate range, and notify Paul in advance to hide in a safer area."

"As for whether they can be safe, it depends on God's will."

Johnny Silverhand certainly considered the safety of Paul and others, so he notified the other party in advance to go to the internal blind spot that is not easily affected.

With the AI ​​Red Queen, he believed that Paul would soon find the most suitable hiding place.

After their careful calculation and control, the next bombardment of the Starkiller would not instantly destroy the Death Star.

It would only destroy the core area of ​​the opponent, causing the opponent to lose command and action capabilities.

As for the Starkiller on his side, there was no need to worry.

Because with the current shield force field strength of the Universal Corporation, it could easily withstand two or three rounds of super laser cannon bombardment from the Death Star.

The ending of this bombardment game between the Death Stars had already been determined!
