The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

1787. Galactic Empire Navy Reform (2)

On the battlefield where the Knight-class Star Destroyer appeared, the fleet commander of the Kingdom of Dawn had to let some battleships go up, sometimes the Hells Angel-class, sometimes the Cole-class. And it is necessary to keep small warships as far away as possible from this super firepower monster equipped with a full 120 turrets.

And even this is not enough, because the extremely strong shield of the Knight-class Star Destroyer also makes it an extremely difficult target to destroy. In order to fight against the Knight-class, the fleet commander of the Principality of Dawn also had to mobilize the Disaster-class battlecruiser and use particle light spear bombing to fight.

But as an ultra-long-range strike weapon, the particle light spear puts its firepower on the Knight-class Star Destroyer, which in itself is a huge waste. It's like when you start a group, and all ADC's ultimate moves are used to get singles, do you think it's a loss?

Therefore, in the several battles in which the Knight-class Star Destroyers fought, the losses of small and medium-sized battleships in the Kingdom of Dawn were much higher than usual, thanks to the rampaging Knight-class Star Destroyers.

In fact, strictly speaking, just as Willix Blissex commented on the Knight-class Star Destroyer, this type of Star Destroyer as a whole is absolutely very strong, but this strength is based on the 1600 The meter-long huge ship is built on the SFS l-a2b giant ionization reactor that occupies almost one-fifth of the volume.

Therefore, although the Knight-class Star Destroyer is majestic on the battlefield, if you think about it carefully, according to the broad three-dimensional triangular shape of the Knight-class Star Destroyer, its overall volume of 1,600 meters in length is almost equivalent to a Hells Angel-class battleship of more than 1,100 meters. More than twice that of a cruiser!

Under such circumstances, it is still impossible to obtain an absolute advantage on the battlefield, so it is obvious how this model of warship is evaluated.

Willix-Blissex was spot on - it could have been better.

It is equivalent to saying that the Knight-class Star Destroyer is to use the size of the Galactic Republic/Galaxy Empire to bully the small, and use something that although the performance is not very good, but is powerful to fight directly and unreasonably. It's like using a big ax to deal with the finely crafted daggers of the Dawn Principality.

It is precisely because of this that the battlefield performance of the Knight-class Star Destroyer is actually not bad.

But why was the Knight-class Star Destroyer eliminated in just one year? It's because every battle the Knight-class Star Destroyer participated in was lost... not only the battle was lost, but the two crucial battles were both fleets formed with the Knight-class Star Destroyer as the core——

The raid in the Model sector and the assault on the Yago-Dur system.

Strictly speaking, in fact, these failures have other objective factors, and it cannot be blamed on a warship like the Knight-class Star Destroyer. But it happened that it was at this time that both the Galactic Republic and the Galactic Empire needed to characterize these two tragic failures and find a scapegoat.

On a larger scale, it is naturally Quat Power Shipyard and Onana Quat who take the blame. On a smaller scale, it is naturally frontline commanders Casio Tagg and Gideon Tarkin who take the blame. In terms of technology, On top, the one who takes the blame is naturally the Knight-class Star Destroyer.

But why is Lila Blissex, the designer of the Knight-class Star Destroyer and the chief engineer of the Quat Power Yard, okay? Simply because she is now Mrs. Wessex.

Yes, Lila has married Dunn and is now called Lila Wessex.

Who dares to put the blame on the wife of King of the North, Dunn Wessex? Tired of living? Didn’t you see that Emperor Palpatine attended the wedding of the two?

As for the Knight-class Star Destroyer, Lila Wessex's statement is very simple: the Knight-class Star Destroyer was originally a prototype ship used for testing - which regular battleship have you seen that doesn't even have a hangar platform? Of? This type of battleship is used as a technical reserve for the Archon-class Star Destroyer.

However, Onana Quart, who was already greedy for profit at that time, for her own selfish interests and in order to promote the immature Model Sector Raid War, forcibly took out the Knight-class Star Destroyer as an official battleship and submitted it for review, and bribed the Galaxy at that time. Officials from the Republic's Battleship Manufacturing Regulatory Commission allowed the battleship to be approved.

And in the next few battles, although the Knight-class Star Destroyer participated in the battle, it was still unable to save the defeat. All these things were forcibly suppressed by Onana Kuat, in order to obtain the information for the Model Sector Raid Battle. power of command.

In this way, the explanation is perfect. Not only did the failure of the Model Sector Raid Battle be interpreted as Onana Kuat's mistake, this mistake was not only insufficient preparation for the battle, but also the inadequate performance of the battleship. It perfectly pushed away the responsibilities of Dunn Wessex and Lila Wessex, not to mention, in this way, even the responsibility of frontline commander Cassio Tagg was removed. All reduced a lot.

No matter what, the Tagg family is still one of the wealthy families in the inner circle. At this time, it is natural to be merciful and merciful, and just give them a step down.

So all the dirty water was poured on Onana Quart, who was already dead anyway. Her son, husband and other relatives were also implicated, and all their property was confiscated, and then they were expelled from the Kuat planet and wandered in other lands. As for the ending, no one cares.

The person who did these heartless things was none other than her nephew, the current Kuate of Kuate, Xiao Kuate.

The losers in political struggles will have to suffer such consequences.

Speaking of which, in the new round of the Galactic Empire Navy procurement plan, the Commander II-class dreadnoughts, Knight-class Star Destroyers, Karak-class light cruisers, Jaeger-class battlecruisers, Consul-class cruisers, CR- 70 frigate, DP-20 gunboat, V-19 Riptide light fighter, ARC-170 heavy fighter, Delta-7 fighter, Eta-2 fighter, these are the equipment that once shined in the Clone Wars.

Plans to replace these equipment are already underway, the most important of which is the Archon-class Star Destroyer!

While the Knight-class Star Destroyers were constantly being targeted by the Principality of Dawn on the front lines, Quat Power Shipyard and Lila Wessex were not idle. She was also constantly summarizing some of the weaknesses of the Knight-class Star Destroyers. and errors, and correct them in a timely manner.

Through the Dunn-Wessex relationship, she already knew the news that the Knight-class Star Destroyer was about to be eliminated. As the Archon-class Star Destroyer, which was almost the same type as the Knight-class Star Destroyer, if it was still old If it looks like this, then it definitely cannot be justified no matter what.

Therefore, the modification plan for the Archon-class Star Destroyer has been ongoing, and then Lila-Wessex simply found the design plan for the Victory II-class Star Destroyer. With her connections, it would not be difficult to obtain data and instructions on the Victory II-class Star Destroyer from the Republic Shipbuilding Supervision Committee.

Lila knew very well that the Victory II-class Star Destroyer was designed by her father, Willix Blissex, a true ship design genius. The design concept is definitely much better than the Archon-class Star Destroyer designed by myself.

More importantly, her own design philosophy and her father's design philosophy are in the same vein, and they can learn from each other very well. At the same time, the design of the Knight-class Star Destroyer and the Archon-class Star Destroyer was also started before Willix Blissex left the Quat Power Dockyard.
