2428.Battle of the Twin Heroes (Part 1)
Grand Admiral Thrawn is undoubtedly the most outstanding general of the Fourth Empire, bar none. But the most shocking battle he commanded was the battle between Ithor System and the Palin-Minor system when he and I were both working for the Galactic Empire. Because that time, Grand Admiral Thrawn really put everything on the line. He had never been so crazy, and he had never been so embarrassed. It was also because the person standing opposite him was also his best opponent. ——"Memoirs of a Fourth Empire Veteran", Chapter 5, Section 36. 4th Imperial Navy Major General Staff Officer, Memoirs of Rael Benting.
King of the North Dunn-Vesex, like an anxious rabbit, finally showed its fangs!
He gave the order and assembled outside the planet Palin-Minor. The last defensive fleet immediately rushed towards the fourth, fifth and sixth squadrons Sefrans-Tann left here!
Indeed, as Thrawn said, the fleets left by Sefrans-Tann are all old models of capital ships. Because her initial combat intention was for First Fleet to hold back Thrawn's fleet, then Archangel Titan warship led Second Sub-fleet into the battlefield to establish victory, and then the third move to Sixth Sub-fleet was to expand the results.
Therefore, No. 1 and Second Sub-fleet are the strongest in terms of quantity and quality. Tann handed over all five Divinity-class battleship to First Fleet, and all the most advanced warships, such as Hell Angel-class, Doomsday Battlefield class, Behemoth-class, Paladin-class, most of these warships are divided into the first and second squadrons.
Naturally, although there appear to be 80 battleships in the fourth, fifth, and sixth squadrons, most of them are second-line battleships from the Clone Wars period.
On the other hand, Dunn-Vesex, although he only has 60 battleships in his hands, among these 60 ships, 40 are Galactic Empire's most advanced Imperial II-class Star Destroyer, and three Commander II-class Dreadnought are backward but the terrifying energy power brought by their huge size is still a fatal threat. Such a force will naturally be invincible against the fleet left behind by Sefrans-Tann!
Sefrans-Tann also issued instructions to the remaining fleet. They must not retreat even one step and fight to the end!
Because she was a step too late in seeing through Thrawn's plan. Although she immediately realized that the war situation at that time must block Palin-Minor's reinforcements, she was still unable to stop Third Sub-fleet from going to Ithor Planet as planned in time. This resulted in a shortage of the remaining fleet in the Palin-Minor system.
Now she lets the most powerful force in her hand - Second Sub-fleet wait for the hyperspace channel of Archangel Titan warship to come for reinforcements. At the same time, let Third Sub-fleet turn back immediately, return to the planet Palin-Minor for reinforcements, and block the reinforcements of Dunn-Vesex.
But due to the current battlefield on Archangel Titan warship, both sides are frantically operating the hyperspace channel, causing the channel to become very unstable. Third Sub-fleet If he wants to reach the planet Palin-Minor, he must wait for two or three hours until the hyperspace channel gradually changes and bypasses the battlefield.
However, Dunn-Vesex has no such worries!
Following his crazy-looking order, three Commander II-class Dreadnoughts opened fire, kicking off the Palin-Minor planet battlefield!
At the same time, on the Archangel Titan warship side, the situation has become not optimistic.
On the remaining battleships of First Fleet, although the morale of the Kingdom of Dawn Navy soldiers was high one by one, the condition of the battleships was not determined by their morale.
Those warships were basically dilapidated in the previous battles, and now even with the reinforcements of Archangel Titan warship, they are still being sunk. This puts more and more pressure on Titan warship!
For Sefrans-Tann, she now feels that although her Northern Fleet's comprehensive strength is clearly far superior to the Galactic Empire's Northern Fleet, she seems to be at an absolute disadvantage in every battlefield.
In fact, if you carefully judge the deployment of Sefrans-Tann's troops, you can understand why this was a humiliating defeat for her.
Because due to Thrawn's strategy, active and passive factors were added together, Tann's Northern Fleet was actually divided into five in a certain period of time!
First Fleet was the first one to be caught in the trap by Thrawn, the fourth, fifth and sixth squadrons who stayed behind on the Palin-Minor planet were the second one, and Emissary who went to reinforce was the third one. Second Sub-fleet, who is waiting for the hyperspace channel to open before going to reinforce, is the fourth, and Third Sub-fleet, who is running back and forth between the two planets Ithor and Palin-Minor, is the fifth.
If you are led by the nose in this way, of course your troops will be insufficient on every battlefield!
So embarrassed, so busy, so lost, Thrawn made Northern Fleet fall to pieces in an instant with just one strategy. How could Sefrans-Tann not be frustrated by such a battle situation! Why not let her be humiliated!
But is Thrawn really easy?
No! He is not relaxed at all, he is also on the verge of collapse now!
Because Archangel Titan warship is killing everyone in Thrawn's fleet, it's like having unparalleled power!
Even if Doomsday Weapon is not used, the conventional weapons of Archangel Titan warship are still the end of the world for the the Empire battleship! The terrifying high-energy laser array flashed continuously, and each flash carried extremely terrifying power. Even Imperial-class Star Destroyer couldn't withstand a few shots.
However, in order to prevent Archangel Titan warship from opening up the hyperspace channel, Thrawn must also fight hard. He also knew that once Second Sub-fleet arrived on the battlefield, the new force with 50 capital ships, 1,000 Light Cruiser and destroyers could immediately tear his exhausted fleet to pieces.
Moreover, once reinforcements arrive, Thrawn is very sure that Lila Super Star Destroyer will be bombarded by Emissary's Doomsday Weapon immediately!
Maybe there was some luck just now, but now, Lila Super Star Destroyer, who has endured several rounds of volleys from Emissary, will really be driven into the soul by Doomsday Weapon!
And once Lila is sunk, it is certain that Dunn-Vesex will definitely turn around and leave, and it is impossible for reinforcements to come!
Thrawn let his fleet besiege Archangel Titan warship crazily, and threw out all the Interdictor he carried to activate it to prevent the hyperspace jump. Not only that, his four Stalker-class Star Destroyers also turned on their gravity well projectors to maximum power. The interference energy of the four Stalker-classs now made this battlefield area look like a small star to the hyperspace navigation system!
A hyperspace jump can never target a star, so the jump cannot be established.
But the fleet navigation system of Emissary is fighting against this interference and trying to form a stable hyperspace channel.
At this moment, Archangel Titan warship was not only engaging in a crazy exchange of fire with Imperial fleet, but also in terms of electronic warfare and hyperspace navigation. There were a total of three battlefields, all competing against the entire fleet of Thrawn!
This is the power of Titan warship!!
