The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1116. Eriadu Air Combat (5)

The outer ring star area of ​​the Milky Way, the intersection of the Rima trade route and the Hydia waterway, the Eliadu galaxy.

The fleet of the Galactic Republic is in retreat.

Before Master Adi Gallia fell to the dark side, when Darth Malthael, the Dark Lord of the Dawn Planet, was still in command on the Titan battleship Xuanwu, under the powerful power of Xuanwu, both sides The balance of power in the fleet was disrupted.

The Xuanwu Titan battleship, the Ankylon Titan, is the most powerful weapon of the Traders Emergency Alliance from "Original Sins of a Solar Empire".

Although the Ankron-class Titan battleship and the Ragnarov-class Titan battleship exist at the same level in the game, in fact, in the mothership database, compared to the Ragnarov-class battleship that is constantly increasing in energy, weight and length, As far as Titan warships are concerned, the Ankron class that can support an entire fleet contains far more technical requirements than that.

Because of Tang Xiao's foresight, the Ankron-class Titan battleship had been secretly built in the Yago-Dur galaxy a few years before the start of the war, and after working day and night, it finally caught up with the war, and It was named Xuanwu by Tang Xiao himself.

The name Xuanwu is very intuitive - it is a god-level tortoise. The system installed on the Ankron-class Titan battleship can greatly improve the fleet's survivability and protection capabilities, making the fleet invincible first, and then Hit the enemy steadily until you grind them to pieces!

A few days ago, the large-scale hyperspace fluctuations detected by the fleet of Jedi Master Sha Kong, who was attacking the Yago-Dur galaxy, were produced when the lead ship of the Ankron-class Titan battleship Xuanwu started the hyperspace engine and left the galaxy. large-scale impact.

As a result, the Xuanwu, which had not yet undergone trial voyage and testing, directly broke into the Eliadu galaxy that was in the middle of a fierce battle, and then reversed the situation in one fell swoop.

The fleet led by Admiral Sioster of the Galactic Republic rashly fought against the fleet supported by the Xuanwu without knowing what was going on. The Xuanwu opened the fleet shield to make the protection of its own fleet almost indestructible. It took a while to realize something was wrong.

Next, Admiral Sioster wanted to take advantage of the end of the protective effect of the fleet shield and launch a counterattack when the Xuanwu still needs to be recharged, but the Xuanwu once again used the interference matrix system to affect the energy systems and engines of all surrounding warships. systems and weapon systems, which in turn caused chaos to the Republic Fleet.

Two consecutive setbacks made Admiral Sioster no longer dare to fight the Xuanwu. After urgently asking for help from the Supreme Strategic Command of the Republic, he led the fleet back all the way to the 5th planet Talas in the Eliadu galaxy. Near the tracks of Terra.

This is already the outermost planetary orbit of the entire galaxy. Entering the hyperspace channel from here will be less affected by the gravitational circle of the galaxy. At the same time, it can also keep the fleet of the fourth civilization away from the planet Eriadu and its satellites, away from their supply line.

But Darth Malthael didn't give him this chance at all, and commanded the Xuanwu to pursue him closely. Ling Liang also commanded the rest of the fleet to cooperate with the actions of the Xuanwu, and also chased them all the way to the planet Tarastra.

The two fleets engaged in three more engagements in orbit around the gas giant, and each time the Republic fleet could not gain an advantage. In the end, the engagement became a game of cat and mouse.

Tired of playing hide-and-seek, and he had more important things to do, Darth Malthael left impatiently, and the entire fleet including the Titan battleship Xuanwu was handed over to Ling Liang.

Under Ling Liang's command, the Fourth Civilization Fleet's offensive was even sharper. After all, Darth Malthael did not know how to command battleships, and Ling Liang was a professional.

Unable to bear the huge loss, the commander of the Republic Fleet, Admiral Sioster, was forced to order all the warships to scatter and flee, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

And at this time, he also received the long-awaited news!

Jedi Master Dover and Jedi Master Gayat respectively led a Commander II-class dreadnought to the planet Dakanel, where the fleet was assembled, and after a short period of preparation, they started the hyperspace jump!

The reinforcements consisted of 20 Jaeger-class battlecruisers and 2 Commander II-class dreadnoughts. Originally, there were more battleships assembled, but these were the only ones that could be set off after hastily completed combat preparations.

However, the addition of two Commander II-class dreadnoughts gave the officers and soldiers of the Republic Navy a shot in the arm!

...

21BBY, on the night of September 12th, the Republic reinforcements arrived in the Eliadu galaxy!

The Fourth Civilization Fleet, which had long detected the huge hyperspace fluctuations produced by the two Commander II-class dreadnought ships, regrouped, arranged in a tight defensive formation with the Ankron-class Titan battleship Xuanwu as the core, and began to move towards Eri. The orbital direction of Yadu planet retreats.

Commander II-class dreadnoughts are 8,000 meters long. Although the length is not much different from the 9,440-meter Xuanwu, compared to the 5,910-meter-wide and 1,220-meter-high Xuanwu, the Commander II is basically a 900-meter-wide It is a rectangular structure with a height of more than 700 meters and a height of more than 700 meters, so the volume gap between the two is also very huge.

In the previous meeting, Gary Ulan talked about the length of the battleship and the Xuanwu, completely ignoring the facts and playing hooligans. No wonder Lila Blissex was so angry at that time.

The basic structure of the Commander II is similar to that of the Commander-class dreadnought, but it is very recognizable that there is a hemispherical structure with a diameter of more than 1,200 meters in the rear of the battleship, which is the new power of the battleship redesigned by the Kuat Power Dockyard. core. The latest hypermaterial engine and optimized energy transfer system gave the Commander II level energy intensity and combat capability several times that of the Commander level.

And this is also the reason why the Republic military sent Commander II to fight against the Xuanwu, and it believes that it has the confidence to compete with the Xuanwu!

After docking with the Republic transport ship that followed the fleet near the gas giant planet Tarastra on planet No. 5 in the Eliadu galaxy and completing supplies, Admiral Sioster, the commander of the Republic fleet, moved his flagship to one of them. A Commander II-class dreadnought Rosanna went aboard and met with the two Jedi Masters.

"General Sioster, we are ordered by Master Windu to lead the Commander II dreadnought and reinforcement fleet to help the battle." Jedi Master Gayat said.

He is a dark-skinned human race with a lean body shape.

The other Jedi Master, Dover, is a blue-skinned Pantora. She is about 40 years old. An order from the Supreme Strategic Command has come, and with the help of the Commander II dreadnought, attack immediately and fight the Titan battleship Xuanwu!"
