The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

545、New Battleship

Jedi Master Green Betty bowed slightly, and said to Suramar very politely: "Thank you for your cooperation, Your Excellency Governor, when the fleet is replenished, we will attack immediately, and we must not miss the opportunity."

Green Betty is a female Botha. She is not tall, about 1.45 meters. Although she is very elegant, she still looks like a wolf grandmother.

The average height of the Bothans is only about 1.5 meters. They are covered with hair and have protruding noses. They look like a hybrid of hounds and lions. They are also known to be cunning in the galaxy. They are often seen inside.

Suramar nodded, and walked to the huge panoramic window of the command center with his cane, looking at the nearest Venator-class Star Destroyer.

This side of Planet Haven is in daylight, and under the light of the stars, the 1137-meter-long dagger-shaped battleship in the spaceport reflects a soft reflection.

The flat hull, which is very similar to the Cheerer-class assault landing ship, is full of industrial beauty. The catamaran bridge standing behind the battleship is several times larger than the Cheerer-class, and it looks more powerful.

This warship designed by Lila Blissex, the current chief designer of Kuat Power Shipyard, also represents the perfect crystallization of the highest technological and industrial capabilities of the Galactic Republic. Lila Blissex has also proved her She is already fully capable of taking over the work of her talented warship designer father, Willix Blissex, to design an extremely powerful warship for the army.

The Jaeger-class battlecruiser, the officials of the Kuat Power Dockyard prefer to call this warship the Star Destroyer (Star Destroyer). In fact, this classification does not exist in the Ana In the X War College system - of course, because this system is outdated, the warship classification of the Galactic Republic is already very chaotic.

However, in order to highlight the strength of the warships they produced, the people at Kuat Power Dockyard directly named the battleships they produced as Star Destroyers, which was somewhat exaggerated.

But the Jaeger-class battlecruiser is really powerful!

The main guns of this battleship are 8 double-mounted DBY-827 heavy-duty turbo laser cannons, the secondary guns are 2 double-mounted medium-sized laser cannons, and 52 point defense laser cannons defend different directions of the battleship, as well as 4 heavy-duty laser guns. Ship-to-ship proton torpedo launchers, each with 16 bombs.

However, the 8 double-mounted DBY-827 heavy turbolaser guns are arranged on both sides of the bridge in the second half of the battleship. This very strange setting makes it impossible for the Jaeger-class to exert its full firepower in any direction (at first, the small mirror I always thought those were anti-aircraft guns, but after careful comparison, I found out that Nima is really the main gun, which is too weird), especially when the bow of the ship is facing the enemy, it has almost only one-third of the firepower.

This wonderful turret layout is to make way for the huge hangar on the battleship that is more than 600 meters long. Almost the entire front of the Jaeger-class ship is the location of the hangar. When fully loaded, the Jager class can carry up to 420 fighters. In terms of design, the Jager class will include 192 V-19 Riptide light fighters, 192 ETA-2 interceptors and 36 ACR-170 heavy fighter.

However, because the ETA-2 interceptor and ACR-170 fighter jets have not yet begun to be installed, the standard for these 60 hunter-class battlecruisers is 150 V-19 torrent fighters and 80 Z-95 headhunter fighters. In addition, there are 30 BTL-B Y-wing bombers, and more space needs to be left for the take-off and landing of the transport ship.

In order to facilitate the take-off of this huge fleet, the entire upper part of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser can be unfolded, exposing the 500-meter-long platform inside, so that these fighter jets can all take off in a short time.

Although the design of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser is very classic, it also has many limitations of the times. In fact, it is precisely because of the flat hull and huge hangar that more point defense turrets are needed for protection, and the design of the gallery gun makes the firepower of the battleship inflexible and must be adjusted as the warship turns. shooting direction.

Moreover, the huge hangar comparable to an aircraft carrier also brings hidden dangers in defense. In fact, if there is no shield, the Jaeger-class battlecruiser is far less resistant to beating than the Cheer-class assault landing ship .

Even with so many shortcomings, the Jaeger-class battlecruiser is enough to disdain almost all warships in this era, and it deserves to be the strongest!

Seeing the transport ships full of soldiers descending from the hangar platform deployed by the Jaeger-class, Governor Suramar's gaze also became warmer. He seemed to see this extremely powerful fleet raiding Bespin, taking Dawn Planet's The picture of the fleet being completely destroyed!

Suramar was also a little apprehensive about assuming the post of governor of the 19th Legion after seeing the fierce offensive of Star Dawn. The fall of the planet Bespin and the surrender of the planet Ceria became the first two fires of his new official, and he almost burned him to death.

And now this third fire must burn Li Xingxing until it hurts, and even burns to death!

Only in this way can I sit securely as the governor.

Tang Xiao, Governor of Dawn Star Planet, this name has been firmly imprinted in his heart since the first day he took office.

"Your Excellency, Governor? The above is my battle plan this time, and I hope you can support it." Green Betty's voice came from the side.

But Suramar's mind was completely attracted by the Jaeger-class battlecruiser, and he didn't react until Betty yelled a second time. He turned and smiled and said: "We will provide all the support you need for your operation."

He beckoned, and the waiter brought a few glasses of fruit juice to the two pairs of Jedi warrior masters and apprentices in front of him, and then signaled, "Let me first wish you all the best of luck."

Green Betty nodded, took a sip of the juice, "May the Force be with you, Your Excellency the Governor."

...

Planet Bespin, the outer line of defense.

"The forward outpost detected a hyperspace jump! We are still 4 seconds away [Note 1]!" The orderly turned to Matt Horner loudly.

Matt Horner raised his wrist and looked at his watch, then looked at the holographic star map in front of him, and said, "The countdown is 120 seconds, detonate the target minefield!"

"Yes!" The technician on the side immediately began to execute the instructions.

"Notify all units and enter the combat state immediately! Sound the alarm!!" Matt Horner continued to order.

Woo~~~woo~~~woo~~~ A piercing siren sounded from the entire battleship, and the crew and robots who were already on standby immediately took their positions and concentrated.

All the lights inside the battleship were turned off, leaving only the red indicator light, and the blood-red color immediately made the atmosphere chill.

All weapons start to charge, and the shield rises.

In particular, the 50 Cole-class battlecruisers of the A fleet have already fully charged the large-caliber super electromagnetic guns in front of them, and they only need to wait for an order to launch the first round of saturation strikes!

"...4, 3, 2, 1...detonation!!!"

With a shout from the technicians, a pre-set minefield near the Corellian trade channel detonated instantly!

The powerful explosion power of Konglei swept across the area stretching thousands of kilometers in an instant!

Almost at the same time as the explosion detonated, intense white light continued to flicker, and 60 Jaeger-class battlecruisers appeared there, baring their ferocious fangs towards Planet Bespin!
