2412. First move
From Dawn Star Planet to Makito, it almost traverses the entire Milky Way, from the southwest corner directly to the northwest corner. In a three-dimensional sense, the straight-line distance between the two planets is almost 100,000 light-years, and they need to pass through the center of the Milky Way.
To make the same journey, Galactic Empire's fleet must make a large circle, avoiding the super Blackhole at the center of the Milky Way and the star cluster composed of billions of stars. And in the process, it will take at least 20 hyperspace lanes and make nearly 50 jumps.
The whole time is almost 30 days! And after completing this journey, the fleet must rest immediately. Because this journey places a heavy burden on the hyperspace engine and consumes a large amount of Coaxium.
Comparing the data of Stargate, we can only say that such terrifying technology makes countless people tremble!
Even for a careerist like Orman-Tagge, he chose to play dead in terms of Stargate Technology. He pretended that he couldn't see it, pretended that he was busy, and pretended that the projects of Eclipse-class Super Star Destroyer and Star Killer had taken up all his energy. In short, as long as we don't talk about Star Gate, everything will be fine. If it comes to the topic of Stargate... I'm sorry, I'm very busy, please come back.
Because facing Star Gate Technology, he had nothing to do. With his self-proclaimed genius' cognition, he may not even be able to imagine the theory that this star gate technology can realize!
At this time, facing the pressure from famous players Sefrans-Tann plus Archangel-class Titan Warship, Galactic Empire Admiral Thrawn chose not to give in.
Thrawn continued to surround Bilbrin Planet with its fleet, transported a large number of troops to the planet, launched a landing operation, and prepared to completely occupy the planet.
Moreover, Thrawn once again made a request to Dunn-Vesex: [Send Lila Executor-class Super Star Destroyer to join the battle immediately, otherwise, the Empire Northern Territory will not have any battleships that can withstand the power of Titan warship. If Governor Dunn is worried that Lila will be abused, then please ask the governor to personally lead Super Star Destroyer to the battlefield and personally supervise the battle!]
Under pressure, Dunn-Vesex had to agree to send Lila Executor-class Star Destroyer to the Bilbrin Planet front line. Not only that, but also brought a large number of reinforcements.
This brings Thrawn's strength in Bilbrin Planet to 300 capital ships and more than 800 small and medium-sized warships.
But such a force obviously cannot be compared with Northern Fleet of Kingdom of Dawn, so Admiral Thrawn chose to block the attack in the outer airspace of Bilbrin system.
He carefully studied each hyperspace channel of Bilbrin Planet, calculated the traffic volume and specific direction of these channels, and then deployed a large number of air mines in hundreds of areas, with a large number of Interdictor mixed in among the air mines.
While Dunn-Vesex handed over Lila Super Star Destroyer to Thrawn, they also sent 4 unique battleships-Stalker-class Star Destroyer.
This is Star Destroyer, which was modified on the basis of Imperial-class Star Destroyer. After removing half of the firepower configuration and two-thirds of the hangar, eight sets of gravity well projectors were installed on the battleship, giving the appearance of the battleship eight more hemispherical bulges.
On the battlefield, as long as Stalker-class Star Destroyer fully deploys the gravity well projectors, it can block the hyperspace jump of the entire star field, thus preventing the enemy fleet from maneuvering and forcing it to compete with its own fleet in terms of firepower.
Admiral Thrawn did not use these four Stalker-class Star Destroyers to operate with the main fleet, and then let them prevent Kingdom of Dawn fleet from escaping during the battle.
Just kidding, the troops he has now are only half of Sefrans-Tann Northern Fleet, not to mention the performance gap between the two warships. If a fight really breaks out, I'm afraid he's the one who's ready to run away at any time!
However, Thrawn deployed three of the four Stalker-class Star Destroyer ships in three places after his precise calculation. Deploying the gravity well projector here will increase the difficulty for the Sefrans-Tann fleet to go to Bilbrin Planet.
The last Stalker-class Star Destroyer was deployed near Bilbrin Planet, preparing to block the transport ship Kingdom of Dawn from sneaking over to deliver supplies, or preparing to escape from the planet.
Although Stalker-class Star Destroyer can only sustain gravity well projection for one day after being fully charged, it is enough.
In this duel between Sefrans-Tann and Thrawn, Thrawn took the lead in laying down his first piece.
This chess piece is called - avoid war. Under the current conditions, he has no intention of engaging in a fleet decisive battle with Sefrans-Tann.
After Sefrans-Tann arrived at Makito, they underwent a brief repair and then checked the strength of Northern Territory.
After the two failures of Battle of Arkania and Second Battle of Bilbrin Planet, Kingdom of Dawn's troops in Northern Territory are now stretched thin.
In addition to the troops currently used to defend major planets such as Makito, Muunilinst, and Ord-Mantel, the fleet still assembled at Dorin Planet and looking at Bilbrin Planet from a distance is their last mobile fleet.
This fleet includes Geth warship 2000 ships, 15 capital ships, Heavy Cruiser 70 ships, and 1100 small and medium-sized warships.
Not only that, the morale of officers and soldiers at all levels was low, and they were generally pessimistic about the development of the war situation.
Although strictly speaking, both sides suffered a huge defeat plus a small defeat in Northern Territory, which is equivalent to a two-to-two draw.
But you must know that it is also a draw. The morale of the two sides who are equalized after leading 2-0 is absolutely different from those who are behind 0-2 and equalized!
Sefrans-Tann After reviewing the current situation, he made a judgment on the current battle situation.
First of all, the formation of Northern Fleet by Kingdom of Dawn is already the result of the deployment of troops from Southern Territory, which is equivalent to tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall. In other words, Kingdom of Dawn will not be able to send more reinforcements for a long time in the future. Now Northern Fleet can only count on those few Mega-corporations newly built warships.
Geth also needs to digest and learn the technology of Gallente Federation before starting the construction of a new generation of Gallente warships. Before that, their fleet can only be used for harassment.
On the other hand, in terms of the Empire, although they currently have insufficient forces in the direction of Northern Territory, it is foreseeable that more warships will be put into the battlefield in the future. Their industrial production capacity far exceeds Kingdom of Dawn, so they will receive more and more reinforcements.
But there is another advantage - that is, with the collapse of Fondor Planet, industrial production capacity of the Galactic Empire will drop significantly in the next three months, and then it will gradually recover.
Therefore, in front of Sefrans-Tann, it seems that the best option is to attack quickly! Decide the winner as soon as possible!
But, is that really the case?
