1791. Galactic Empire Navy Reform (6)
For the Galactic Empire, the establishment of the new industrial Big Three also marks that Imperial Navy will completely get rid of the shadow of Galactic Republic and begin to enter its own era.
New industrial giants, new battleships, new officers and soldiers, new tactics.
The entry into service of Pursuer-class aircraft carrier and Vindicator-class heavy cruiser is an attempt by the Galactic Empire to explore the cooperation of multiple ship types.
Different from the situation in the original plot where Galactic Empire focused on the construction of Imperial-class Star Destroyer and the number of other ships was small, now due to the weakness of Kuat Drive Yards and the impact of Duchy of Dawn's new naval tactics, Galactic Empire began to pay more attention to other warships.
Pursuer-class aircraft carrier (Secutor-class Carrier) is modified from the hull of Hunter Class Battlecruiser. It is 2200 meters long and has a flat and wide hull. The original design direction of this kind of warship is a carrier (the English name used in this paragraph is the same as that of an aircraft carrier, but I studied the carrier plan of the Chaser and feel that it should not be called an aircraft carrier, but a carrier, because it carries more than just fighter jets). In addition to carrying 144 carrier-based aircraft, it can also carry 14,000 Marines soldiers and a large number of ground armor units, and even contains enough supplies to support two years.
Secutor-class battlecruiser was originally defined as Star Destroyer. In fact, it is not how strong its firepower is. On the contrary, most of Pursuer-class's firepower is only for self-defense, and the latest fire control system is also installed to resist attacks by fighter groups. But the reason why it is called Star Destroyer is because the fighter jets and ground troops carried by Pursuer-class do have the ability to directly suppress a planet.
But now, the construction plan of Pursuer-class Star Destroyer has been changed to Pursuer-class aircraft carrier. After removing the barracks of Marines and the hangar of the army armor unit, the large amount of space freed up allowed Pursuer-class to add a fighter landing platform and 10 supporting ejection devices.
Now Pursuer-class has three fighter take-off and landing platforms, 30 sets of ejection devices, the number of aircraft carried has increased to 400, and it has a complete fighter maintenance and repair platform and a separate hangar for each fighter.
The current Pursuer-class aircraft carrier will appear in the naval sequence of the Galactic Empire as a professional aircraft carrier. Acclamator-class assault ship, which was originally planned to be replaced by Pursuer-class Star Destroyer's plan, will now continue to stay in the Galactic Empire's army and undertake the work of transporting army troops.
The corresponding one is Vindicator-class heavy cruiser.
This is the first large warship designed after the establishment of the Sith Fleet Systems company. It inherits the fine tradition of the Republic Sienar Systems, and the design of the entire warship is very precise. Therefore, although this battleship is only 600 meters long, the large number of turrets and close defense systems installed on it can easily destroy fighter formations that appear nearby. At the same time, it also has very good maneuverability and protection capabilities.
According to the current needs of Galactic Empire Navy, Vindicator-class heavy cruiser has strengthened its air defense capabilities and appears as a full-time fleet air defense force. Not only that, the 600-meter-long size also allows Vindicator-class to directly tear the opponent into pieces with its low-power but extremely dense firepower even if it is attacked by a small enemy warship!
Once Vindicator-class heavy cruiser appears on the battlefield, small units such as enemy frigates, fighter jets, and light destroyers will suffer a devastating blow.
This is also a targeted design based on the frigate sea tactics that Duchy of Dawn has used several times. The imaginary enemies of Vindicator-class when designing were Duchy of Dawn's Javelin-class missile frigate and Manghan/Stilat Class Light Corvette, as well as Cobalt-class frigate, these major small warships.
In addition, Galactic Empire Navy has also made a modification plan for the very classic design of Acclamator-class assault ship. Currently, a plan for Acclamator II-class assault ship (Acclamator II-class assault ship) has been proposed and has been implemented on a small scale.
The main function of Acclamator II-class assault ship is Orbital Bombardment. After removing the space for loading soldiers and ground armor units, Acclamator II-class assault ship installs a large number of Orbital Bombardment equipment. Coupled with the neutron material armor derived from Acclamator-class, this assault ship becomes even more difficult.
This type of assault ship can rely on its almost indestructible defense capabilities to directly break through local blockades and directly bomb the opponent's planet, catching the opponent off guard!
The design idea of Acclamator II-class assault ship is actually derived from the process of Clone Wars. In this war, many times Fleet Commander would always face the dilemma of whether to bomb the planet with his own warships or attack the opponent's fleet.
And now, if they have Acclamator II-class assault ship, then they can directly let the thick-skinned Cheer II level rush up to bomb the planet with the opponent's firepower! In this way, the opponent's fleet is in a dilemma!
Before the opponent sinks the sturdy Acclamator II-class assault ship, the powerful Imperial fleet has enough time to cause a devastating blow to the opponent's fleet!
At the same time, Galactic Empire Navy also strengthened its frigate design. In addition to upgrading the CR-70 frigate to a more advanced and faster 150-meter-long CR-90 frigate, Marauder-class frigate was also developed.
The 195-meter-long Marauder-class frigate is a high-speed assault warship that replaced the former Kallak-class light cruiser and appeared in the Galactic Empire Navy series. In addition to high speed and high firepower, Marauder-class frigate can also carry 12 fighter jets or 8 bombers.
Marauder-class frigate appears in the naval sequence of the Galactic Empire, and also involves an expansion of the Galactic Empire. Mainly Corporate Sector Authority (The Corporate Sector Authority), referred to as CSA. This is a semi-neutral force that was once active in Outer Rim Territories. It is mainly a loose organization united by illegal enterprises, pirates, and tax evaders.
Among the previous Clone Wars, Corporate Sector Authority once stood on the side of Confederacy of Independent Systems and fought against Galactic Republic. But the nature of businessmen made them decisively withdraw from the war after seeing Confederacy of Independent Systems losing ground.
In fact, at that time, they themselves could no longer support themselves. Because their approximate location was Northern Galaxy, within the attack range of Galactic Republic 10th Army, and there were no other relatively powerful Separatists forces in this direction, so they were quickly convinced.
However, Galactic Empire Navy fell in love with the Marauder-class frigate built for them by Corellia Engineering Company, so they obtained the production license from CSA and began to add this type of frigate to their navy.
The idea of Imperial Navy is to try to use Marauder-class frigate to conduct a high-speed assault. After approaching the enemy's battleship, suddenly release all the bombers, and then conduct a round of devastating Proton Torpedo bombing on the opponent's battleship.
In order to achieve this goal, Galactic Empire installed a newly developed new missile-Diamond Boron Missile (Diamond-boron) on Marauder-class frigate.
Diamond Boron Missile is a very expensive missile, one missile costs up to 20,000 credits! In many cases, the price of such a missile is even more expensive than a fighter jet!
But it's expensive, and Diamond Boron Missile is indeed very powerful. This missile has complete protection capabilities, including active protection and passive protection, and can directly ignore the irradiation of most laser weapons. Coupled with its ultra-high flight speed and its programming to perform irregular evasive movements, this missile is almost difficult to intercept.
And once it is hit by Diamond Boron Missile, its powerful power can completely blow a fighter jet into pieces with just one shot! Therefore, this kind of missile can sometimes be used to attack enemy small and medium-sized warships, and the effect is very significant.
If this kind of luxury missile were handed over to Duchy of Dawn, it would definitely be pointed at by Tang Xiao and scolded as a prodigal. It also joined Imperial Navy with the entry of Marauder-class frigate, becoming a huge threat to Duchy of Dawn's famous fighter formation in the galaxy!
In addition to the CR-90 and Marauder-class frigate, two frigates developed by Corellia Engineering Company, Kuat Drive Yards also developed its own frigate - Vigil-class corvette (Vigil-class corvette).
It is said to be a frigate, but in fact this 255-meter-long battleship has incredibly powerful firepower. As a frigate, Vigil-class corvette is actually equipped with three battlecruiser-level heavy-duty Turbolaser guns! It can be called crazy!
Moreover, the appearance design of Vigil-class corvette is exactly the same as Hunter Class Battlecruiser, but the many shortcomings of Hunter Class Battlecruiser during the war were fully considered during the design. Not only did the bridge be lowered and the armor increased, but the firepower on the battleship was more rationally arranged.
This makes the Night's Watch a battleship that, although small, can play an unexpected role. If a Night Watchman-class sneak attack is successful, even the battlecruiser will be unable to survive!
After a variety of large and small battleships of different models and different purposes have been added to the Galactic Republic Navy series, coupled with the Imperial-class Star Destroyer that has been further strengthened and greatly increased in power, and the Victory II-class Star Destroyer with a classic design that can meet the requirements of most artillery battles, the Imperial Navy is now unprecedentedly powerful.
Now the Empire's senior executives, including Palpatine, are waiting for Sith Fleet Systems's TIE Project to be completely replaced before Imperial fleet is completely replaced.
At that time, the new Imperial fleet will be invincible!
Duchy of Dawn, Modell Sector capital, Annaj Planet.
Sector Governor Volgograd-Kanidi took a shuttle into the atmosphere of Annaj Planet, flying over the cities that were being rebuilt and being renovated. At the same time, they passed by countless passenger spaceships, cargo spacecrafts and engineering spacecrafts in the sky at close range, giving a panoramic view of the busy and reborn planet.
People are always hardworking...
Even after experiencing the baptism of many battles, they will rebuild Homeworld among the ruins. Even after experiencing horrific riots and internal purges, they still tried to unite and become a new collective.
Volgograd-Kanidi had a cigar dangling from the corner of his mouth and a glass of strong liquor in his hand. He took a sip of his cigar and another sip of his wine, and then subconsciously looked to his side, preparing for the soft scolding that would follow.
But no, sitting next to him was his new adjutant, a very obedient, smart, and at the same time, very loyal adjutant.
The adjutant He Yuan, who once stopped his drinking behavior in time and lectured him, has been placed under house arrest and may never be seen again...
"Tell me about the recent defense arrangements." Kanidi said slowly. He squinted his eyes and leaned back on the seat back, preparing to listen to the report from his subordinates.
"Your Majesty the Governor, I have summarized the recent events into a report, please take a look at it..." He was answered by another slightly unfamiliar voice.
Kanidi opened his eyes and saw another young officer sending a very detailed report through Omni-tool, and said very seriously, "Your Excellency, please read this report and I will interpret it for you..."
If it were Jin Chen, he wouldn't need to hand over the repeated reports to himself at all. Now he might have opened up the chat box and reported on the work for himself in an endless and orderly manner. And you can also close your eyes, rest and form your own picture of this report in your mind, and slowly savor it...
"That's enough, no need." Kanidi waved his hand to interrupt the young officer, and at the same time turned off Omni-tool himself.
He took a deep breath, but felt very agitated.
The shuttle stopped steadily and was met by some tourists gathered outside the space port. They suddenly ran forward, took out the flags they had prepared, and shouted insults at him.
"Kanidi! You are a traitor!!"
"Executioner!! You massacred tens of millions of innocent civilians!!"
"We once trusted you so much! You actually responded with a butcher's knife!!"
"Liar!!"
After hearing the news, the military police immediately rushed up and pushed all the radicals disguised as tourists to the ground, but even so, those people still used the most unpleasant words to curse him.
Volgograd-Kanidi had no expression on his face and just quickened his pace.
Yes, everything has changed... The whole Modell Sector has changed... Became so strange, so cold...
"I'm sorry, Governor, it was our fault to let these people sneak in." A man wearing sunglasses walking on the other side quickly came over to apologize.
This person wears the badge of Duchy of Dawn Intelligence Department on his chest, and there is a special horizontal bar on the badge, indicating that this person is an official of the Internal Affairs Department subordinate to the Intelligence Department.
Since the great purge of Modell Sector, Internal Affairs Department people have appeared in almost every corner of Modell Sector and Administrative Department at all levels. They stared at these departments and officials like maggots in the tarsus, scanning every possible factor of riot with their sinister eyes.
