Chapter 48

Not long after Aina made it to the bridge the fleet had exited Hyperspace and was now making its way toward's the enemy planet.

On the sensor's the fleet picked up lots of enemy activity above the planet. And it wasn't civilian activity instead it was military activity.

Hundreds of ships were above the planet patrolling the sector since this planet was classified as a Border planet meaning that it was located near enemy border's and a lot of battles would happen both above and on the surface of the planet.

The Leader of the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium the Shreeftut ever since the start of the war has reinforced all planet's that he classified as Border planet's. There were only 3 Planet's that were classified as Border planet's and those were Ruutha, Cranu, and Korri.

Korri was the planet that the Terran fleet was currently attacking. The planet Korri had its own defense fleet and ground army to defend the planet. And unlike the ground battle of Zakuul the Ssi-ruu would be even stronger and have a higher morale than at the battle of Zakuul.

This was because most of the Ground forces that originally invaded Zakuul were slaves since most Ssi-ruu didn't like to venture from their home planet's. So to make up for this the Ssi-ruu instead uses slaves in their fleets when attacking planet's not in their home Sector.

So now that they were defending their one of their home planet's naturally the morale of the defending Ssi-ruu would be higher than on Zakuul.

But as for the fleet well the same couldn't be said for them since the Ssi-ruu fleet was made to attack primitive species and planet's so when faced with a proper advanced fleet they stood no chance at all.

And the reason they were able to take over Zakuul was because Zakuul never had a proper defense fleet ever since the fall of the Eternal Empire and the Eternal Alliance thousands of years ago.

So even if their ships were not that powerful they still were able to take over the planet which didn't put up a lot of resistance to the Ssi-ruu fleet.

As for the ground battle well just as for the Zakuul Navy the Zakuul army also wasn't that big thus they fell very quickly to the Ssi-ruu forces.

Now back to the battle at hand. The Ssi-ruu fleet had detected the Terran fleet after a few minutes of them exiting Hyperspace but by this time the Terran Fleet was within weapon's range of the Ssi-ruu fleet.

The Admiral of the Terran fleet reported this to Aina in which she gave the order to open fire on all Ssi-ruu military forces above the planet.

But the Ssi-ruu fleet was still not in range because of their technologically inferior weapon's, so currently the battle was one-sided as the Ssi-ruu ships were dropping like nothing.

Both the Laser Batteries and the Kinetic Weapons of the Genesis Class Titan were tearing through the Ssi-ruu ship's like their ships were made out of paper. The same goes for the laser batteries of the rest of the Terran fleet which only took them a few hit's before the enemy ships were destroyed.

Also within the Terran fleet were hyperspace inhibitor ship's so the Ssi-ruu fleet could not escape and could only send a distress signal back to their home planet.

Not even an hour later and all that remained above the planet were debris of the Ssi-ruu ships and defense station's.

Aina looked at the Admiral as the Admiral looked back at her. Both were in shock since that battle was way too easy that they barely had time to even implement any advanced formation's nor did they need to adjust the fleet's positioning.

"Admiral was that all the ship's above the planet" Asked Aina because she thought that the enemy was much stronger than that.

The Admiral triple checked his Scanners to make sure that no other enemy ship's and stations were being picked up and what he found was nothing at all.

"Lady Aina there is nothing at all on the scanners the entire system is clear of enemy ships and defensive station's" Reported the Admiral

'There is no way right this was too easy' Thought Aina. She thought this battle would be a challenging one, but instead it went by in the blink of an eye.

She wondered whether that was the true enemy fleet or just a weak version of it. But she didn't stay on that matter for too long since she still has work to do.

"Okay Admiral since there are no more enemy forces than initiate the invasion of the planet" Ordered Aina.

The Admiral relayed her order's to the transport ship's as thousands of gunship's and drop-ships started leaving the hanger's of the Transport ships.

Each drop-ship contained around 150 soldiers while the smaller cruiser ships that contained thousands would land on the planet's surface after the drop-ship troops have secured some ground and disembark soldier's like that.

It was similar to the Clone Wars when the Acclamator-class assault cruiser would land on the surface of the planet and battalions of clones would disembark off the ship.

But while those cruiser's are waiting to land they will provide air support and ground support to the land forces.

Aina had the capital ship's and destroyers remain above the planet blockading it entirely while the smaller cruiser ship's and corvettes would enter the planet's atmosphere and support the ground troops.

The Support ship's would remain above the planet behind the capital ship's since sending them to the surface of the planet was risky.

It didn't take the transports long to breach the atmosphere where they headed to one of the major cities of the planet.

Along the way the bombers and some fighters flew ahead to destroy any anti-air emplacements which could potentially harm the troop transports killing hundreds before they even touch the ground.

The Ssi-ruu defense forces were already ready for the battle as the civilians were evacuated from the major cities into underground bunkers.

So the entirety of the Major cities would be filled with Ssi-ruu Imperium soldier's.

While that was happening Alexander was relaxing in his palace watching Republic News about the various things happening.

He had some food in front of him eating it as he watched the holo news. As Emperor, he was living such a luxurious life while his enemies were suffering at the hands of his soldiers.
