2309. Kira planet Raid Battle (1)
Kira planet In outer space, countless battleships broke away from the berths of the space port, flew out, and then formed formations. Inside the battleship, soldiers from various combat departments lined up in neat lines, shouting slogans and running through the corridors towards their respective combat posts.
Gunners are in position; loaders are in position; observers are in position; pilots are in position; ground crews are in position; navigators are in position; radar crews are in position; communications crews are in position; damage control teams are in position...
There are 270,000 officers and soldiers of all levels on Executor-class Super Star Destroyer Lusankya alone. And the total number of crew members in this entire fleet exceeds one million!
The huge army, controlling the most advanced war machines, is fully activated at this moment!
"Hyperspace outpost maintains the highest alert to ensure that no disturbance can be missed!" Michel-Anser ordered.
"Yes!"
Michel-Anser looked at a small notebook in front of him. This was his own habit. He often doesn't trust computers, so he writes down some of his key ideas in a notebook and checks them all the time.
As for this war against Duchy of Dawn, especially the Eriadu garrison defended by his fleet, he conducted countless deductions and recorded the key points.
The total number of Eriadu's garrison is about 600 warships, and the specific model and composition are unknown. But what is certain is that they include the battleships that Imperial military fears the most - Ankollon-class Titan warship and Xuanwu!
Xuanwu Titan warship has the ability to project energy shields to the entire fleet. It can be said that as long as this Titan warship survives, Duchy of Dawn's fleet will be indestructible.
And in order to maintain the huge energy consumption of Xuanwu, Duchy of Dawn also deployed at least 20 Durov-class Battlecruiser to recharge Xuanwu.
In addition, the opponent has at least 100 Hell-Angel Class Battlecruiser. This kind of battlecruiser has extremely thick armor and electrothermal armor that has a strong inhibitory effect on the Turbolaser cannon, making them difficult to destroy. And there are at least 50 Calamity-class battlecruiser, and the existence of this battlecruiser means Particle Beam Lance!
The range of Particle Beam Lance can even reach dozens of light-days. Energy Weapons is extremely powerful and is also the main threat to Duchy of Dawn fleet.
In the notebooks of Michel-Anser, many strategies and tactics on how to fight against Xuanwu, how to fight against Particle Beam Lance, and how to fight against Hell Angel-class were written.
For example, Vigil-class corvette and Aquitenes-class light cruiser are used to form a high-speed assault fleet to continuously interfere with the launch of Calamity-class battlecruiser; for example, the tactics of luring the enemy deep into the enemy's fleet are used to continuously pull the formation of the opponent's fleet, thereby breaking away. Away from the support range of Xuanwu; for example, with Executor-class Super Star Destroyer as the core, divide and annihilate the opponent's fleet, ignore Xuanwu, and instead concentrate firepower to destroy their warships one by one...
There are hundreds of densely written pages in his notebook, which shows that he has done a very thorough homework.
Although he was still a little uneasy, General Michel-Anser believed that he was fully prepared. The glorious Executor-class Super Star Destroyer and the glorious Imperial-class Star Destroyer are the source of all his self-confidence.
"General! Malastare outpost detected hyperspace fluctuations!" the messenger said loudly.
"General! Enarc outpost detected hyperspace fluctuations!" Another message also came over.
Michel-Anser Admiral frowned, "Are you attacking from both sides? Humph!"
Duchy of Dawn's fleet If you start from Eriadu and arrive at Kira planet, the branch hyperspace channel in this star area is actually a ring. Going west, it passes through Malastare and Paks Planet, until Kira planet; while going east, it passes through Enarc, passes Kalinda Planet, and then reaches Kira planet.
Naboo, which became famous for the outbreak of Separatist crisis 20 years ago and is also the hometown of the Emperor of the Empire, although it is not on this circular channel, is adjacent to Enarc, and the two places are very close to each other.
Galactic Empire chose to set up a military base in Kira planet to guard the end of this circular branch channel and monitor the safety of one of the largest hyperspace channels, Hydian Way.
"Stay still for now. No matter where Separatist fleet plans to attack from, as long as they appear, they will never escape our surveillance!" General Anser said in a deep voice.
"Interdictor near Enarc is under attack!"
"Paks Planet is also under attack! According to observations, all enemy ships are Light Cruiser!"
General Anser said seriously, "Where are the movements of Xuanwu?"
"Xuanwu still hasn't appeared." the officer from the radar department replied.
Admiral Anser thought for a while and said, "Send 20 Imperial-class Star Destroyer to Enarc and Paks Planet respectively to drive away Separatists's Light Cruiser. Don't be reluctant to fight. Once you find the opponent's main force, retreat immediately!"
"Yes!"
The 40 Imperial-class Star Destroyer quickly turned on their hyperspace engines and left Kira system to reinforce several planets that were being harassed. But General Anser felt increasingly strange, because according to normal circumstances, starting from Eriadu and jumping through hyperspace, it should have been blocked by Interdictor deployed on the periphery!
Michel-Anser has always been very sure in their hearts. Although Separatist fleet is very powerful, their movements are also very easy to judge - where Xuanwu is, the main direction of attack will be. Therefore, as long as they keep an eye on Xuanwu, no matter how they suspect the soldiers or maneuver, it will have no effect.
A few hours later, news came quickly from those Imperial-class Star Destroyer that they exchanged fire with Light Cruiser of Separatists, but the other party had no intention of fighting head-on and quickly retreated.
General Anser smiled coldly, "Humph, you're just trying to be mysterious! Continue to strengthen surveillance! If Xuanwu doesn't show up, we'll stand still!"
"Yes!"
And the opportunity he was waiting for would come soon!
An hour later, Naboo received an urgent call: Separatist main fleet was found. The enemy was gathering at Naboo system. The total number of battleships was 400, and Xuanwu Titan warship was confirmed to be among them!
Bang! General Michel-Anser slammed his fist down and said sternly, "Has it finally appeared? The whole army attacks! Block Separatist fleet in Naboo!"
His meaning is very clear. First of all, with Executor-class Super Star Destroyer here, he is not afraid of a fleet decisive battle with Separatist fleet. And although the position guarded by Kira planet has two attack directions, as long as you keep an eye on the movements of Xuanwu, you can determine their main position!
Separatist fleet, with or without Xuanwu, are two completely different states!
Although Naboo is in an awkward position in the military's combat plan, they are still prepared to be unable to defend Naboo. But Michel-Anser is not willing to have Imperial fleet in his hands, and he has lost His Majesty the Emperor's hometown in the first battle. He has full confidence to completely crush Separatist fleet with twice the force!
The dazzling white light kept flashing, and the huge Imperial fleet was dispatched!
