1784. Endless-class Super Carrier Plan for Dystocia
In addition to Spartan Program and Crusader I power armor, Doctor Halsey also participated in the research and development work of Endless-class Super Carrier as a consultant.
Although the main design team is still organized by Trade Federation, no one in the scientific research team of thousands of people organized by Newt Gunlay can compare with Doctor Halsey!
This is not to say that Newt Gunlay has no money or resources, but that the talents he can recruit now are of this level. In fact, this is another advantage that Core Worlds, Inner Rim has over Outer Rim Territories in this galaxy - educational advantage.
Almost most of the well-known universities in the galaxy are in Core Worlds and Inner Rim, with only a few in Mid Rim and almost none in Outer Rim. Therefore, in terms of talent supply, Core Worlds and Inner Rim also have absolute advantages over Outer Rim.
This was not obvious at the beginning of the war, because at that time, the entire Galactic Republic was one family, and many of the talents recruited by Trade Federation also belonged to Core Worlds and Inner Rim. However, as the war progressed, Galactic Republic and later Galactic Empire began to completely blockade Outer Rim Territories, and the exchange of talents naturally stopped completely.
Therefore, the overall quality of the scientific research team that Trade Federation can still recruit has naturally declined.
By the way, in this matter, the split of the InterGalactic Banking Clan also caused a lot of negative effects.
You must know that the chairman of the InterGalactic Banking Clan (S), Rush-Clovis, used to be a senior official of the InterGalactic Banking Clan and was a person from Confederacy of Independent Systems. Much of the initial work on the research and development of Endless-class Super Carrier was carried out by Rush-Clovis.
Who knew that Clovis's love for Padmé-Amidala later turned into hatred, which eventually became the trigger for him to betray Confederacy of Independent Systems and join Galactic Republic. In the end, it also led to a complete break between the InterGalactic Banking Clan Human faction and Muun factions, finally splitting into two.
The outbreak of this incident also caused a serious loss of some early R&D personnel of Endless-class Super Carrier. In addition, Padmé-Amidala cooperated with Anakin-Skywalker to steal part of Endless-class Super Carrier's R&D plan, resulting in the first leak of this project.
So this incident was also the reason why the quality of Endless-class Super Carrier's R&D team subsequently declined - because they could no longer recruit talents from Core Worlds through Rush-Clovis.
In addition, the second leak of the Endless-class Super Carrier plan was in Semirres campaign. Many data on the research and development of the battleship were obtained by Shen Qiaoen and Grandmaster Das-Tenebrus of Tang Xiao. Although Tang Xiao still believes that this data is in the hands of Galactic Republic, it does not prevent him from judging that this seriously leaked project has lost its suddenness.
Anyway, the major forces in the galaxy now actually know some things about Endless-class Super Carrier. Although they are not complete, it is already known to everyone.
But to say that these two leaks led to the leakage of Endless Class's core secrets, this is far from it. Because the core technology of Endless-class Super Carrier actually comes from the ancient super civilization in the world of "Halo" - Forerunners.
Forerunners is also a Galaxy Overlord level existence. If you really want to compare, that is unless it is the Vasari of "Sins of a Solar Empire" or "StarCraft" in their peak period. Protoss, Reapers of "Mass Effect", and Killiks supported by Celestial Ones in the current galaxy can be compared with them.
In other words, compared with these heaven-defying ones, Vasari is somewhat inadequate.
Of course, Forerunner technology among Endless-class Super Carrier is still very rudimentary, and they have all been analyzed and incorporated into UNSC technology, so they can be interpreted. As for other Forerunners technologies, they are currently in a state that is incomprehensible even when taken out.
This part of Forerunners's technology is mainly about the design of the engine power system. In other words, even if Galactic Empire has received two leaks and already has a preliminary impression of Endless-class Super Carrier, they still don't know how many things the Endless Class engine power system supported by Forerunner technology can support this super battleship!
At the same time, this part of Forerunners's technology was actually completed by a group of scientists led by Doctor Halsey as a consultant, who led the Trade Federation team. Although they are not mediocre, they are definitely not outstanding scientists.
During the conversation along the way, Tang Xiao also learned that the main conflict between Doctor Halsey and Newt Gunray was also here.
Because the technology of Forerunners directly brings about a sharp increase in costs. As for the businessman Newt Gunray, he always regarded Endless-class Super Carrier as an upgraded product of their Luukri-Hok-class battleship.
In other words, Newt Gunlay wants to use the Endless-class Super Carrier as an armed cargo ship... Use it to fight during wartime and haul cargo during peacetime. If someone borrows a usury loan and refuses to repay it, he can still drive the Endless-class Super Carrier to collect debts. Wouldn't it be wonderful?
Especially now that Tang Xiao and Palpatine have signed Peace Accord, Newt Gunlay has directly focused all his attention on making money.
This led to a direct conflict between Doctor Halsey and Newt Gunray. Although one was a woman and the other was a coward, it was impossible for the two to fight, but the two sides did a lot of things to undermine each other and confront each other.
Later, it was Count Dooku who came forward to reluctantly resolve the conflict between the two, allowing Endless-class Super Carrier, the ill-fated project that almost had a difficult delivery, to finally be completed.
Why Count Dooku?
Because although Trade Federation has now been expelled from the Galactic Empire, and a large number of Core Worlds and Inner Rim's assets have been confiscated, they are still betting in two places: Confederacy of Independent Systems and Duchy of Dawn.
In other words, although Duchy of Dawn and Galactic Empire have made peace, Trade Federation is still supporting the war over Confederacy of Independent Systems. The official statement is the same as when there was a conflict between Galactic Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems, and they were all attributed to different internal factions.
In addition, the specific implementation of the Endless-class Super Carrier plan was placed in Semirres Planet and handed over to Semirians.
And where is Semirres Planet? Eastern Outer Rim. In other words, it is within the core control area of Confederacy of Independent Systems.
This is why Count Dooku attaches great importance to Endless-class Super Carrier's research and development plan, and he did not hesitate to go out personally to break up the fight - because when Endless-class Super Carrier enters service, he will directly join Confederacy of Independent Systems Navy!
This is an agreement reached between Tang Xiao and Count Dooku.
While talking, Tang Xiao and Doctor Halsey also arrived at another laboratory ahead. Through the glass of the laboratory, he saw a tall man with his back to them...
John 117!
