2350, Malarian Alliance Battle (below)
1,000 Geth warship!
This amount made Gillard-Perine break into cold sweat. He immediately shouted loudly, "Get ready to fight! Get into defensive formation!"
He had no idea that there were so many Geth warships!
First of all, he is very clear, that is, Geth is likely to set up an ambush on every hyperspace channel. The reason is simple, they are Mechanical Lifeforms, and they can stand still in a deserted place forever until the enemy appears.
Geth Arrange Interdictor in the middle of each hyperspace channel, and then use a large fleet to ambush here. This tactic is something that intelligent creatures will never be able to do. First of all, the chance of Imperial fleet choosing one of the routes is only one in eight. Secondly, there is no way of knowing when Imperial fleet will set off.
Therefore, Geth fleet probably ambush here a few months ago, and probably sailed here at warp speed, so that there would not be any hyperspace fluctuations, making Galactic Empire's hyperspace outpost unable to detect it. At the same time, all battleships shut down all engines, and all Geth unit entered a shutdown state, thus minimizing energy consumption, and then guarding against the one-eighth chance.
These places are in the middle of the hyperspace channel, with nothing around them. There are no planets, no stars, no asteroids, just an empty universe. Other than that, there is nothing! Not even a speck of cosmic dust can be found!
How about a human fleet, waiting for several months or even longer in that dark and lonely space that will never change no matter how you look at it? Then maybe everyone will go crazy.
In order to raid Rendili Planet, Dath-Vader led the fleet at warp speed for more than two months. The morale of almost the entire fleet's officers and soldiers at all levels was on the verge of collapse. This is because this fleet was brought up by him single-handedly. It was an elite force that participated in the major battles of Clone Wars, the siege of Saleucami planetary battle, and the final attack on the core control area of Confederacy of Independent Systems.
If it were any other fleet, it would be impossible.
But Geth can use this tactic very casually!
Gillard-Perine naturally knows these tricks of Geth, but what he really doesn't know is that Geth fleet has so many!
If what appears in front of him now is 1,000 Geth warship, then it can only mean that there are so many warships in other directions!
There are a total of 8 hyperspace channels from the planet Anselm to Ansion Planet. This means that Geth has ambushed at least 8,000 warships!
Now, Gillard-Perine know what Darsana said, Geth and Celestials are doing.
As many as 1,000 Geth warships have launched an attack. Densely packed plasma balls were launched like raindrops, causing violent ripples of energy on Imperial-class Star Destroyer and Deflector Shield. At the same time, Imperial-class Star Destroyer's counterattack was extremely powerful and resolute. Powered by the L-A2B solar furnace reactor, the XX-9 double-mounted heavy-duty Turbolaser cannon carried almost devastating power with every shot.
The same model is completely different from the Turbolaser beam emitted by Hunter Class!
Geth warship suffered losses immediately, and more than ten Geth frigates were directly destroyed in this wave of attacks. However, this kind of loss is only a drop in the bucket, and more Geth warship rushes forward one after another!
Gillard-Perine is very skilled in commanding his own fleet. He is completely different from the Galactic Empire, who mostly relied on nepotism to rise to the top and stayed in his position. He is very diligent and hard-working in studying the art of fleet command. Moreover, he also studied countless fleet battle cases and organized countless actual combat drills.
At the same time, after getting to know Mis-Lo Nurudo-Lieutenant General Thrawn, he was impressed by the latter's talent. He has been humbly learning Thrawn's conducting art and growing continuously.
Maybe Gillard-Perine is not the one with the most outstanding talent, but what is certain is that he is definitely the one who works the hardest.
He deployed all Imperial-class Star Destroyer into a spherical array, and all warships hid their tails towards the middle of the array.
Because Geth warship has excellent mobility, it often performs various tactical maneuvers at incredible speeds on the battlefield. Even cruisers and even dreadnoughts can perform rapid acceleration, rapid deceleration, and sharp turns. During Clone Wars, when first facing Geth warship, Galactic Republic fleet, who knew nothing about them, was often bypassed by Geth warship and then directly destroyed the engine, causing the battleship to lose its combat capability.
Gillard-Perine used this formation to directly compete with Geth warships in terms of firepower and size. Not only that, he also deployed all fighter units in the center of this formation to specifically deal with those Geth warship who got through the gaps.
After his frigate, Light Cruiser, arrives, these small and medium-sized warships will also be enriched in the center of the formation. While receiving protection from Imperial-class Star Destroyer, they will eliminate all Geth warship that try to break into the center.
When necessary, those light, high-speed warships will launch an assault from any direction as soon as possible.
This tactic is called "Peren Ring". Facts have proved that this is also the most suitable tactic to fight Geth fleet.
After forming the Peren Ring formation, Imperial fleet finally stabilized the formation. More than 500 TIE fighter fought with more than 10 Geth frigate in the center of the formation, while Imperial-class Star Destroyer blocked Geth Dreadnought from the outside.
Even if it is 80 versus 1000, Gillard-Perine is still unfazed.
Warships from the rear are still coming in for reinforcements, adding to this Peren Ring, making this formation larger and more complete.
On the battlefield, countless plasma clusters and countless Turbolaser beams flew everywhere. The injured battleships spewed out a large amount of flames and debris, and there were exploding flames and broken wreckage everywhere.
A group of TIE bomber, escorted by TIE/LN fighter jets, approached a Geth Dreadnought. However, this dreadnought was very maneuverable and even began to accelerate in an attempt to escape the bomber's pursuit. However, at this moment, several Turbolaser beams were fired accurately from a distance, directly hitting the center of the dreadnought.
A burst of dazzling light flashed, Geth Dreadnought's Deflector Shield was defeated, and the middle part of the battleship was hit by a Turbolaser cannon. In the violent explosion, Geth Dreadnought's figure suddenly tilted. Seizing this rare opportunity, TIE bomber rushed over, occupied a favorable position and launched Proton Torpedo!
The point defense artillery fire on the Geth Dreadnought was fired like water, forming a barrage around the battleship. Several Proton Torpedo were shot down, but they were still directly hit by more torpedoes!
Amid the explosion and collapse of the light blue proton cloud, the Geth Dreadnought began to crack and break apart silently, and was finally blown into three pieces, flying away from the battlefield under the kinetic energy generated by the explosion.
Peren Ring composed of Imperial fleet is like a huge immovable mountain. Even if there are ten times the number of Geth warship, they are still very stable.
