164. Friend's Fleet
Corporate Alliance spent a lot of money on this siege of Malastare. All the pirates who had some friendship with them and had certain strength tried their best to come and participate.
Naturally, Crimson Dawn and White Worm Gang, two criminal organizations from Corellia, were not far behind and sent almost all their available spaceships to participate.
Crimson Dawn The young leader Dryden-Vos led more than 40 spacecraft to join this encirclement and suppression. Most of them were small spacecrafts, but there were two Corellia DP-20 gunboats.
This 120-meter-long spacecraft is the latest product of Corellia Engineering Company. It lacks heavy firepower, but it has up to 8 light twin-mounted Turbolaser cannons and 6 ordinary laser cannons, which is an almost fatal threat to light spacecraft and fighter jets.
In the face of ordinary gangsters, pirates, and even caravan convoys, there are almost no large warships. In other words, in the Milky Way, where armaments have been abandoned for more than 1,000 years, there are not many large combat spaceships left after a detailed count. In such an environment, the DP-20 gunboat is simply an extremely powerful existence!
Dryden-Vos is also extremely proud of being able to obtain these two most advanced spaceships, because even Corellia's own security fleet is only equipped with more than 10 of these spaceships that have just begun production.
Now Dryden-Vos is on his flagship Corellia DP-20 gunboat, chatting with a big bug wrapped in protective clothing in the holographic projection in front of him.
This big bug is Madam Proxima's cronies, Moloch.
"Hey Moloch, long time no see. Why didn't Madam Proxima come?" Dryden-Vos asked.
"Madam Proxima has something going on over there at Corellia. A damn Celonians gang wants to compete with us for the ownership of a hyperspace engine factory. Madam Proxima needs to personally take action to ensure that these hole-digging guys don't affect our business."
"Celonians? It is not an easy thing to let them leave their own city Lower City, but if there is, it must be a big deal. It seems that Madam Proxima has something to worry about. If you need it, just come to me." Dryden said.
"On behalf of Madam Proxima, I would like to thank you for your kindness. However, it is better for us to resolve our own matters ourselves." Moloch declined Dryden's good intention, which might be hidden in the cotton wool.
Dryden-Vos didn't care, just smiled and changed the subject, "Speaking of which, our new friend hasn't arrived yet?"
"Madam Proxima is also very interested in him. She specifically asked me to observe Tang Xiao carefully." Moloch said.
"I think he will come in person. This battle is safe and profitable. Even those vulgar Sikudian pirates know to come and get a share of the pie." Dryden-Vos snorted coldly, "I hope Teacher Heige's information is correct and Republic Judicial Fleet will not be dispatched. Otherwise, I guarantee that I will be the first to escape."
"Madam Proxima's friends in Galactic Senate told her clearly that Judicial Fleet will no longer support Phineas-Valorum, and they will not take action."
"Oh? You White Worm Gang actually have such a relationship? This bill will only be discussed at a meeting tomorrow. There are not more than 50 members who can know the answer today, right? One of the top 50 most influential members in the entire galaxy... Wow!" Dryden-Vos raised his eyebrows in admiration.
"This is just a necessary political investment." Moloch replied calmly.
"Boss, a hyperspace jump has been detected. According to the identification code, it is our own spacecraft." The radar soldier on the side turned to report.
"Oh, a new friend is here." Moloch also got the message.
Dryden-Vos looked at the direction from which the hyperspace jump signal came, with a faint smile on his lips, "Tang Xiao, although my brother is very good at fighting, but if that's all, he is just a powerful killer at best. Since he is Teacher Heige's disciple, he should at least have some strength. It is best not to come here to earn commissions."
"The opponent is expected to leave hyperspace in 10 seconds. The number of targets... uh..." Even the radar soldier paused before reporting the number, "72 ships, so many!"
Hearing this number, Dryden-Vos's expressions instantly became solemn. If nothing else, this number alone is equivalent to the total number of spacecraft sent by Crimson Dawn and White Worm Gang!!
In this assembly, Corporate Alliance has the largest number of spaceships. In addition to the five largest Fantail-class destroyer, there are more than 100 other small armed ships. White Worm Gang sent more than 30 armed merchant ships, and Crimson Dawn sent more than 40 spacecraft, including two 120-meter-long DP-20 gunboats.
In addition, there are more than 80 spaceships of Sikudian pirates. However, their spaceships are all junks that are simply installed with a few cannons on the stolen spaceships. If they really want to fight, a DP-20 gunship will probably wipe out half of them.
In addition, there are dozens of other small pirates and bounty Hunter spacecraft, but they are not large-scale.
But such a fleet is enough to make a Outer Rim or even Mid Rim planet despair, because most Mid Rim and Outer Rim planets do not have the ability to form their own fleet.
And now that Tang Xiao's fleet arrived, it almost immediately jumped to the second place in strength among this motley crew! After all, no one would think that the disciples of Hego-Damask II would use those shabby spaceships.
The white light kept flashing, and first, the six 108.7-meter-long Revenge-class light destroyer broke out of hyperspace. This kind of spaceship is not good-looking, but it is obvious that it is a product with a complete design and industrial system, and is not a modified second-hand product.
There are not many turrets on the spaceship, but judging from the size, the power is much greater than that of the DP-20. It is obviously a weapon against large spaceships! What does this mean? This shows that the original design purpose of this spacecraft is completely different from the escort spacecraft like DP-20 - this is a battleship used for fleet battles!
In other words, compared with the DP-20 gunboat, Revenge-class light destroyer is like one being a regular military armored vehicle and the other being a police armored vehicle. Although they are both armored vehicles, the meaning behind them is completely two levels!
Immediately followed were five 78-meter-long Cobalt-class heavy frigate, and then there was a dense burst of flashes. Sixty 31.4-meter-long Hammer-class light frigate broke away from the hyperspace jump and appeared here in darkness. Half of these Hammer-class frigate turrets are larger and equipped with plasma bomb launchers specifically designed to counter shields, while the other half are two twin blue laser turrets used for conventional attacks.
Finally, a 315-meter-long behemoth also escaped from hyperspace and appeared here without warning!
One code will be released overnight to give everyone a fun first.
