The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

255. The Arms Race Just Started

The Cheerer-class assault landing ship, the full name is 'Acclamator-class trans-galactic military transport ship (Acclamator-class trans-galactic military transport ship)', which is a classic designed and built by Rossana Heavy Engineering Company under Kuat Power Dockyard battleship.

This kind of battleship is 752 meters wide, 460 meters wide, and 200 meters high. It presents a flat and wide triangular shape. A smaller bridge is located at the rear of the battleship. It has no portholes for protection and relies entirely on advanced navigation. systems and sensors to drive.

The Cheerer-class assault landing ship is equipped with very powerful firepower, including 12 quadruple turbolaser turrets, 4 sets of proton torpedo launchers, and 24 sets of point defense turrets. And most of the turrets are arranged on the side of the hull. This design is mainly to facilitate orbital bombing.

At the same time, in order to take into account the problem of landing operations, the cheering class assault landing ship is equipped with very heavy armor, especially the armor on the bottom of the battleship is even stronger. This kind of armor adopts the most advanced technology—the scattered neutrons are directly compressed into the armor material, greatly increasing the neutron density of the armor, so that this armor can even directly withstand the bombing of proton torpedoes.

This kind of firepower and protection can be said to be excellent even as a battleship. Moreover, each Cheer-class assault landing ship can carry 16,000 soldiers, 80 fighter jets and 84 tanks and armored vehicles, in addition to 320 armed hoverbikes as a reconnaissance force.

Moreover, the powerful engines of the spacecraft determine that they can easily enter and exit the planet's atmosphere for combat.

In other words, a cheerer-class assault landing ship can transport the soldiers of an entire legion, and can directly provide air cover or even orbital bombing support for the legion.

There is no doubt that the appearance of the Cheer-class assault landing ship is definitely in violation of the agreement of Rusan's reform! And this spaceship has now entered the testing stage. In other words, the Kuat Power Shipyard had already treated the Ruusan reform as waste paper a few years ago.

Now that the Kuat Power Shipyard has announced the warship, the meaning is very clear. Anyway, regardless of whether you place an order for the Galactic Republic, I have already built the things and put them here. Not only that, but they are also very powerful and easy to use. It’s up to you whether you buy them or not.

In response to the Cheers-class assault landing ships, the Trade Federation announced two plans. The first one is to transform the giant cargo ship that he owns, and the transformed cargo ship can be used as a large warship.

And their second plan is to cooperate with Rendili Interstellar Power Company to prepare for the development of a new generation of warships. This warship is developed and improved on the basis of the Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser to meet modern combat needs. The size of the warship is scheduled to exceed 1,000 meters.

This project is called Project Providence, and the Quarren people, who are very developed in the shipbuilding industry, also participated in this project and established a new company - the Freedak Volunteer Engineering Group.

Several other corporate giants have also announced their warship manufacturing plans.

But what people didn't expect was that the fastest walking here was actually the fourth group!

The day after Kuat Power Dockyard announced that the Cheerer-class assault landing ship had entered the testing phase, and the Ruusan reform agreement was in vain, the fourth group released a brand new warship——

Revelation-class light cruiser!

This kind of battleship is 344 meters long. It is a technology in "Homeland". It was originally classified as a destroyer (Destroyer), but according to the classification rules of the fourth civilization, it is classified as a light cruiser.

The battleship is equipped with 2 twin-mounted large plasma cannons and 2 twin-mounted large turbolaser cannons. While possessing good firepower, it is incredibly fast and flexible to maneuver!

The speed and steering of the Apocalypse-class light cruiser can even be compared with the 108-meter-long Vengeance-class destroyer!

Now this kind of highly maneuverable and high-firepower warship has almost become the symbol of the fourth group of warships. Whether it is the Vengeance-class destroyer or the Cobalt Alloy-class heavy frigate they produce, now coupled with the Apocalypse-class light cruiser, they are very maneuverable. good.

This is because the positioning of these warships is very accurate, and they will not pay attention to one ship doing all the things, all they need is to do their job well and do their job well.

For example, the Apocalypse-class light cruiser, the very clear combat target is the opponent's capital ship, and only the capital ship. Therefore, they are fast, flexible, and powerful, and there is not even a point defense turret on the spaceship. In the future combat plan of the Fourth Civilization, the task of air defense will be handed over to other warships or fighter jets.

Undoubtedly, according to the provisions of the Rusan reform treaty, the Apocalypse-class light cruiser is also exceeding the standard. Although the exceeding standard is not as blatant as the Cheer-class assault landing ship, it is more practical.

Because it is undoubtedly impossible for a spaceship like the Cheerer-class assault landing ship to be supplied to any organization other than the Republic's military, and it is impossible for the Republic to allow other organizations to have this kind of ship and launch it on a planet. The powerful warships that attacked fell into the hands of other groups.

But the Apocalypse-class light cruiser is different. With a price tag of 3.5 million credits, many people can afford it.

And more importantly, the fourth group directly announced that the Apocalypse-class light cruiser has now started to lay the production line and can accept orders, and the first battleship will start construction within a year!

The large and small organizations in the Milky Way suddenly realized that there are people who can move faster than the Kuat Power Dockyard!

Although the performance of the Apocalypse-class light cruiser is much worse than that of the most classic battleship of the same class - the 325-meter-long Arquitens-class light cruiser, but in comparison, the Apocalypse-class is better than the Arquitens-class light cruiser. The advent of the early 10 years! Get a head start on the market for Corvettes.

In this way, even an industrial giant like Kuat Power Shipyard couldn't help but really start to look seriously at the small industrial enterprise of the Fourth Group.

Various industrial enterprises and business tycoons come on stage, although their positions are opposite, but their actions are surprisingly consistent, that is, they directly tore up the Rusan reform treaty and threw it on the ground over and over again. step on.

The behavior of these companies, for Phoenix-Valoren, the chairman of the Galactic Council who wanted to negotiate conditions for these business giants by lifting the treaty restrictions, where is his ass, it is clearly his Face!

Do you think we would be grateful for your proposal? I'm sorry, throwing this agreement out to feed the dogs is just a matter of our words! -
